“The RoseBouquet”

I’ve been discovering in my SBI process that there are some wonderful ways to monetize my site. That is, to cause it to make money! I never thought I could become so excited over income streams, but my imagination is constantly running away with me. I wish now that I’d been able to do this years ago. All my sites would be much more profitable by now if I had applied all these lessons to them. Whew!

I’m also drafting a business plan for something I want to start in January. You’ll hear more about that when the timing is appropriate.

This last weekend was rather delightful. A dear penpal sent some typing to do for her, and enclosed a large money bill. Then I went to the annual “history/genealogy” weekend of our Mennonite Historical Society of Saskatchewan (MHSS), and though I paid up my membership and the ticket for Saturday’s lunch, the treasurer slipped me a much larger amount per my invoice for work in the MHSS site. On Saturday a couple who are related, came up to me to ask about my Firesen data, and I was able to pull my second last copy of “Our Friesens and Assorted Friesens” out of my grey bag and sell it to them.

Oh, and the lady sitting beside me at the round table complained that she couldn’t understand her genealogy programs. When I told her I was preparing to offer tutoring in computers, she was happy to give me her contact info.

Any wonder that I came away feeling cheerful? It seems that work is finding me!
