Great Freelance Writer's list!!

For those of you that work at home or want to dabble in freelance writing I found a great list of places to work. I frequent many forums and blogs on the hunt for job leads and new ideas. One of the work at home moms on a forum posted this great list of writing sites. The list breaks the jobs down by name, pay and when they pay!! Freelance writing is a great gig for students,moms or anybody who wants some extra cash. Most of the sites pay by pay pal, only a few pay by check or direct deposit. The great thing about pay pal is that you can spend the money on the Internet or transfer it directly to your bank account. I hope this helps someone out. Now is a great time for reinvention!!!

Just keep swimming!!

One of my favorite movies is Nemo, the story of a cute fish with a bad fin who made it in spite of difficutlies. I kinda of identify with Nemo. He made it even though he lost a parent and had a handicap. He had a wonderful can do attitude. He saw himself as a achiver. That's what we have to do. The bible says something similar, as a man think so he is. So think good things and have a can do attitude. In spite of it all believe that good is around the corner and it will come. As always Happy Hunting!!

One door closes...and another one opens...

What happens when one door closes? Another one opens, God sometimes allows a door to close so that you can go into a new season. So don't look at a layoff as a bad thing, it is time to reinvent your self!! Be positive, upbeat and expect great things. Thank your old employers or old opportunity because they just opened the door for great possibilities. Sometimes people will try to put you in a place that you just don't fit--it's time to find where you do fit. Go back to school,find a job you love or just follow your passion. A closing door can just be the thing you need to get to your true destiny.....as always Happy Hunting!! Today is a new day!
