Have you ever been wounded?

•

I am a single grandparent surving the economy with a home based internet marketing business. There are many hardships in our lives nowadays. We are all being wounded left and right in one way or another.

There are many ways you can be wounded. Some instances are physically, mentally, financially or emotionally. Which do you dread the most? Seriously, I am concerned and asking this question so that you can answer it. We are called to bear one another’s burdens! I am serious. In hards times like these we need to be looking out for each other. Even if we see a stranger in need, we should stop and help them.

I have been wounded several times physically in car accidents. Actually one of my last accidents made the hairs on my arms stand at attention. I was on my way home from listening to a friend perform and an opossum crossed the road in from of me. I was approximately two blocks from home. I looked back over my shoulder to see if the critter was safe and when I turned back to the road my car was perfectly centered on a very large concrete utility pole. When I came to in the hospital the next morning I remembered a man dragging me out of my car and trying to revive me in his house with wet wash clothes. I also remembered walking towards my dad and he said to me, “You can’t come now you have your mother and two girls to look after.” I had just gotten divorced after being married for 12 years. My dad had passed away 11 years before. I was told I was very fortunate to be alive and I don’t doubt that in the least.

People are wounded mentally on a daily basis. Domestic mental abuse, parentalm ental abuse, and just the overall stress of trying to make ends meet in our everyday lives can wound us mentally. I personally would take physical wounding over mental wounding. The scars are not visible with mental wounding but they can last a lifetime. I find mental exhaustion more extensive than physical exhaustion. What do you think?

With the economic crisis in our country, currently many people are suffering financial wounding. There are numerous corporate people who have devoted their lives to their jobs who are now facing layoffs. I was laid off over two years ago. It is difficult to replace a job that you have worked many years at, climbing the ladder and developing capabilities with a similar position. You can always step down and toss all of your expertise you have worked so hard to acquire aside and work at a supermarket, restaurant, or retail store. There most definitely is nothing wrong with those jobs, but in developing your skills you have also climbed the compensation ladder. Your income will not reflect all the skills that you have worked very hard to learn if you are forced to step down and take a different position to help make ends meet. It is especially wounding to be the sole earner in your household. My heart and prayers go out to people who have families to support. When the main supporter in a household has to take on another job (for a total of two) this could cause wounding in all of the areas mentioned above….physically, mentally, financially and emotionally. Because of the many hours this person will need to work to support his family this suffering is also passed on to the other members of the family. They will have less time for their spouse, their children or even just relaxation time for themself. This can create an enormous amount of stress. Everyone ends up feeling like the victim.

If you have been laid off, forced to take an early retirement or just need to make additional income perhaps you would interested in internet marketing business opportunities. I took an early retirement and am enjoying working online at home. If you chose this route, take advantage of the many tools out there. I am a member of the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group. I have shared this before, but this is a group of sincere professionals in the industry. They have all helped this grandparent develop skills I never knew I could learn. The Crazy Foxes recently released a new FREE report titled “DAM-IT“. If you are contemplating an internet marketing business opportunity I would highly recommend you read this report first.

Granted not everything on the internet is legit. One business I’ve discovered is Veretekk. It is a definite breath of fresh air. Tom Pendergast and Mike Darling, the owners, have hearts for the people involved with their company. They sincerely care and want to see their people successful. Their system is very powerful. Then there is the New Plan Network that offers a plethora of services. If you are going into a business where you need to track your results you will want to check into NPN and also ProTracker Plus. Both provide services that will be highly beneficial to you.

I wish you and your family solutions to your problems and healing for your wounds, whatever species they may be.

Blessings,

Our U-Haul Saga from Boca Raton, Florida to Saco, Maine

Author: Judy Conway

•

I sometimes find myself being too serious. For this reason I thought I’d start this week off with a real life story. Trust me, it was not funny at the time, but it wasn’t long before it produced many a chuckle. It is in reflecting back on times like these that I am so very grateful for my online internet business opportunities with the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group.

After my oldest daughter graduated high school in Boca Raton, Florida we decided to move back up north. I had been divorced for approximately nine years. My youngest daughter still had one more year of high school to complete, but we were all in agreement that it was time to make a change. Our plan was to drive first to Maine where I would help my brother in his restaurants and then move to Vermont in time for school in the fall.

As a single mom I did not have the money to pay for a mover so we loaded all of our worldly possessions on the biggest U-Haul Truck available. (24 ft – 27 ft) It was huge. There was not a smidge of space left. It was so packed that when I came across my jewelry box I asked my girlfriend for a Ziploc bag, dumped my jewelry in it, tossed the box in the trash and threw the bag under the seat of the truck.

Now in order to get the full picture of this escapade imagine this sight. A 48 year old single mom, two teenage daughters, a Shitzu/Pekingnese, two cats, a parakeet, and a blue headed Amazon parrot in the cab of the truck. I was towing my Toyota Celica which was packed with suitcases, etc. and also carried a very precious cargo….our Doberman/Dalmatian mix and our black Lab.

As we said our goodbyes, cried and jumped up into the truck I found myself thinking, “What are you doing?” I started the engine and we were off. I had a constant conversation going with Jesus. And thank God He had us in the palm of His hand.

It wasn’t long before my fears were confirmed. Only three of the five gears worked on the truck. The air conditioner was less efficient than us blowing on each other, (and this was the middle of July) and the radio did not work. Teenagers on this type of a journey are disgruntled enough without having music!!

We hadn’t gotten out of Florida before the truck had a muffler problem. I pulled over to a rest area. A repairman came out and it wasn’t long before we were back on our way. His comment, “I am sure glad you are leaving my territory, this truck isn’t road worthy” distressed me to say the least.

We traveled I-95 up the east coast. I got off at one point to get gas and it was one of those crazy places where you had specific turn lanes to get back on. I found a gas station, but for the life of me I could not find my way back to I-95. It was after 10 PM. I turned down one street and it went up a hill and dead ended. I developed a true admiration for truck drivers on that trip!! I managed to get turned around with the truck tipping and the girls crying hysterically. More than once I heard, “Mom this is the stupidest thing you have ever done.” After turning around I set at the stop sign in tears myself at this point.

Out of nowhere a man hopped up on my side of the truck and asked if we needed help. I had him tell me at least five times how to get back to I-95 and as he got down and started walking towards the back of the truck I watched in my side mirror as he disappeared in mid air. Whether you believe in angels or not, I know this was my angel!

It was very difficult driving this truck towing my car. I was constantly afraid that I was going to wipe my car out or back into someone else. One time when we were at a traffic light I asked my daughter to just put her hand out the window and motion people around us. Her comment to me was, “Mom he just gave me the finger.”

We had just gone over the Baltimore Bridge and there was a lot of road construction. I watched as the lights on the dash all started to dim. I did some fast navigating and got the truck and my car between the big construction barrels before it just died. It was 2:00 AM.

It wasn’t long and a state trooper stopped by to see if he could help. I asked him to please call U-Hall to let them know we had broker down. This trooper stopped back every hour to check on us. Being on the road for over 36 hours in July heat, and now it was raining I made sure that I stood a distance from his car to speak with him. I would’ve given anything for a shower at that point.

I finally went back to sit in my car with the dogs. At least they wouldn’t be disgruntled with me. In about an hour my daughter came back to tell me that one of the cats had gotten out. She’d put the window down too far. So I was walking through tall grass on the side of the road calling for the cat. I was so happy when I saw her little head popping above the grass meowing and running towards me.

U-Haul didn’t come out to help us until 9 AM. I was informed that the truck would have to be towed to their garage and they would put us up for the night. I discovered the hotel they booked for us did not take pets. I was told, “You can lock them up in our garage and put some food and water down for them.” NOT going to happen!!

I got on the phone and found a Holiday Inn that took pets. We had to take some stuff out of the car so we could fit in it to drive to the hotel. I got lost on the way. While stopping at a gas station to ask directions I heard the flutter of little wings go by my ear. Somersault the parakeet would now reside at the Merit station. To my amazement when we arrived at the Holiday Inn it was not one you drove up to your room. We proceeded to take 3 dogs, 2 cats, a parrot, litter box and suitcases through the lobby onto the elevator and up to our room. What a sight we must’ve been. It was so wonderful to get off the road and get a shower!!

The next day we were back on the road and on our way to Maine. Thank God nothing else happened. To the rhythm of the tires I kept praying and saying, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” His Word will never come back void.

We did have problems on the New Jersey Turnpike….they don’t allow trucks like we were in!! I had to turn around across 5 lanes of traffic and take US1 past New York City. One point we made the wrong turn and I ended up driving in New York City. A truck pulled up alongside of us with some Mexican guys. They said to us, “Perros, and made panting noises and told us they thought the dogs were going to die.” It was so hot. They did have water and the windows were down quite a bit, but I was very worried about them.

When we arrived in Maine there was a U-Haul truck off the road turned over. We were all very thankful to be safe.

I wish that I had been blessed with a business opportunity that I have now with the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group back then. I would’ve given anything to be able to work at home and be there for my daughters when they got home from school. Nowadays, your office is anywhere with internet marketing.

I hope that you have gotten a smile or two out of this writing. It just proves that God never gives us more than we can handle. And most important to remember is that He always is there to go through it with you!!

Blessings,

Judy Conway

Home-Based Business Benefits

Author: Judy Conway

•

With the economy the way it is, I think we are going to see a lot more people thinking about home-based internet businesses.

Benefits abound in executing your business from your home:

• You can work from the comfort of your own home.

• You do not have the expense of gas for your car.

• Less maintenance expense for your car, tires, oil changes, etc. (and general wear and tear)

• An aspect sometimes missed you can also save on your auto insurance. Less commuting miles to work allows you a savings on your coverage.

• Money spent eating your lunch out with your co-workers. You not only save money by eating at home, but this allows you to live a healthier life. Plan your meals.

• How much are you currently spending on clothing, drycleaners, etc.? This will no longer be necessary. Just think, you can get up, grab a cup of coffee (don’t have the expense of your local coffee shop), and sit down in your office. You can even stay in your PJ’s all day, if you want to!

• A huge benefit…maintaining your office at home allows tax deductions. Be sure to check with IRS regulations and not take deductions you should not!!

• And one of the greatest benefits of a home-based business is that it allows you to spend more quality time with your family. It allows you to have a flexible schedule.

I recently retired after spending 45 plus years in the corporate world. I am working with an awesome group of internet marketers called the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group. There is 24/7 chat support and I have developed relationships with like-minded people. I have been involved with other internet businesses, but have NEVER learned as much as I have with the Crazy Foxes.

If you are going to establish a home-based internet marketing business, do your due diligence homework. There are a lot of scams coming down the pike. Even if a company states they have been in business for years, dig deeper. Find out exactly what the plan is that you will have to follow to become successful. Granted you are like the rest of us. More than likely you are going to make some mistakes in the learning process and spend more money than you thought would be required.

There are tremendous tools available to anyone who puts the required effort into their business and believe they can succeed. Be sure to attend available trainings and meetings. Be open to learn from others.

The Crazy Foxes Marketing Group works closely with the following groups:

• Veretekk: Veretekk is a powerful tool. Sign up for a Free Silver Account. This is our marketing system, our lead generator, SEO producer, and more… plus it is ONE of our primary income sources.

• New Plan Network: NPN is a real income generator, and I’m talking SERIOUS income, NPN and its products are the internet’s best kept secret. From Capture Page creator, to the elite multisponder auto responder system, these are absolute must haves for every internet marketer.

• Traffic Hoopla: Free system – Traffic Hoopla keeps on top of the best of the best Traffic Exchanges and Safelists. You join Traffic Hoopla and then join the highest producing traffic generators on the web, all managed from this central location.

• Protracker Plus: ProTrackerPlus is the ad tracking program recommended by the $200 Per Day Blueprint. It allows you to track your hits, conversions and more, and you get paid to refer others.

• Social networking. Twitter and Facebook are only two of many available. You not only developing relationships but you learn about powerful tools, and are able to share your knowledge with others.

You are not obligated to join these businesses. However, you have the ability to expand your profile on the internet with new opportunities. These businesses are listed under “Programs” on the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group Website.

I wish you great success in whatever road you travel. Be sure to take advantage of the tools available to you. Research, consistence, perseverance and belief in yourself can bring you success.
