Totally March Madness

Well, I have just finished watching 9 1/2 hours of college basketball.  I think I had my fill for today!!


I wanted to post something I just found on another blog.  The blog is called, "Grandma Linda's House."  At the end of her blog she had the following saying:

everything will be okay in the end.
if it's not okay,
it's not the end.

This was exactly what I needed to read after this week of hearing we were probably going to be laid off at the end of June, to the end of the week where there might be money to keep our program going. What a roller coaster ride that I'm sick of riding on.  

Last year at this same time, half of my co workers were notified that there were going to be laid off at the end of March. Then there was another lay off.  Total of 4 lay offs, 44 people gone, 23 positions eliminated, positions and people moved around to different positions without be asked first which left 13 of us .  It was stress to the max, and something I never wanted to go through again.  Well, never say never because here we go again!! 

But at least I have Plan B.  Plan B is working on my business of Essential Oils.  doTerra Essential Oils to be exact.  I love them!  They are so wonderful and I can't wait to share them with my friends, family and strangers alike!!

If, by chance, my program finds money and I'm not laid off, then I will be glad to stay and work as long as I can. But I'm still going to be educating as many people as I can about the health benefits of doTerra Oils. 

So, remember, if it's not okay, then it's not the end.  Just the end of this post.!!

Aloha,

Stephanie

The Time has come....

Alas, Alas.  The time has come to say goodbye to my job.  We got news today that the TANF funds are being cut and so are we. 

What to do, what to do???

We have until June 30th. 

So I have to come up with Plan B.

I don't even have a Plan A. 

Can I make it on doTerra Essential Oils?   http://www.doterra.com/   or www.mydoterra.com/stephanieyamashita

At my age starting over really sucks.  I don't have clothes for an office job.  I don't have the college education to make a decent living.  Oh, Woe is Me!~ ~ ~

BUT I AM HAPPY!!

Aloha,
Stephanie

Today is My Birthday!!

Hello blog world.  Today is my birthday.  Or I should say, today was my birthday.  It is 9:23 pm so the day is almost over.

I had a great day with the hubby.  But now I know I'm getting old.  Why do I know that?  Because I bought a MoTab CD.  YUP.  sure did.  MoTab.  Can't wait to hear it.  And I bought my own copy of "Jesus the Christ." So it's time to start reading all 792 pages.  I've done it before and I cad no it again!!

Now we are watching an old EMMA with a very young Kate Winslet.  10 years ago next month, Breana and Cherie got a picture with Gwyneth Paltrow, a  more modern Emma.  I sure loved Mr. Knightly in that movie!

So, goodnight everyone.  365 more days until my next birthday.   *sigh*

Love and Aloha,

Stephanie
