Real World Mom

Colin from Life tagged me a few days ago with this. Here’s another fun meme!

—- START HERE —–

Anger is only one letter short of danger

If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;

If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.

Great minds discuss ideas;

Average minds discuss events;

Small minds discuss people.

He, who loses money, loses much;

He, who loses a friend, loses much more;

He, who loses faith, loses all.

Beautiful young people are accidents of nature,

But beautiful old people are works of art.

Learn from the mistakes of others

You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.

Friends, you and me…

You brought another friend…

And then there were 3…

We started our group…

Our circle of friends…

And like that circle…

There is no beginning or end…

Yesterday is history.

Tomorrow is mystery.

Today is a gift.

So now, let’s see how many circle’s of friends we can make by simply adding your link on this Friendship Meme!

Since joining the blogosphere several weeks ago, I have been blessed with the gift of meeting many wonderful people. Most are men and women who have been blogging for quite some time, and are very talented at what they do! Yet, they made room for another new kid on the block (me), and welcomed me with their support and friendship.I wanted a way to show my appreciation to those that have touched me in some way–whether it be a particular post, a whole blog, or the person behind the blog. So, I have come up with the Real World Mom “You Light Up My Life Award”, in honor of those special people.The first recipient is Maria, from Immoral Matriarch: Catechizer for her frequent support on my blog, her honesty and courage to tell it like it is and for her wicked sense of humor! I offer you this humble token, Maria, because you have made a difference to me, and I thank you!

Announcing the Birth of~

Real World Mom Enterprises™

As some of you may know, I have been blogging here on realworldmom.com for a few months now. It’s become my passion!

Real World Mom was actually owned by my significant other, T (author and mastermind behind The Inflatable Soapbox™). He offered the project to me because he felt that blogging and building a site would be something I’d enjoy. I have to admit, I wasn’t so sure of this at first.

Let me backtrack (and brag) for just a moment… T is a total ‘computer guy’. He can build machines, write programs, design websites, etc., etc., etc. (He is affectionately known around here as “The Code Wizard”! And, let me tell you, it really comes in handy living with my Tech Support!)

So, for any tweaks or changes I want to make on realworldmom.com, I’ve always got his guidance and knowledge to make it happen. (My current project is working on getting a forum together so there can be lots of interaction here. Keep an eye out for that!)

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been playing working hard to build content and traffic to realworldmom.com, and I think I went and impressed T with what I’ve accomplished so far!

Last night, he transferred ownership of Real World Mom to me, and so, Real World Mom Enterprises™ has been born! My new ‘baby’! T says it’s my early birthday gift, and I can’t think of anything that could’ve come close to being more perfect (well, except maybe last year’s gift)!

To T: Thank you for always believing in me, even when I don’t believe in myself. Thank you for knowing when to hold me and let me cry and when to offer an encouraging word and a kick in the ass to keep me moving forward. Thank you for trusting me with your dreams and for wanting me to be a part of them. Thank you for loving me no matter what. Thank you for being you. I’m very proud of you too, and I love you with all my heart. We make one hell of a team!
