So lets do this! ...

Woah, Plonk , Bloop !! as my #rhoa followers would agree this week has been a week of ...

• Reflecting... Last Saturday, October 18th 2014, was a ying / yang day for me. For all of us here in our Ex-Terminator , Inc. world... why you may ask? Because it was 11 years to the day that our founder, my husband, William Blauvelt, passed suddenly. I was so wrapped up running my street fair , giving my 100% , all day from 8am till dusk, that I was caught up in a whirlwind. When the dust settled , Bill was on my mind , just like he was on my mind everyday and will always be on my mind. Wink- Bill you know this.
•  Connecting...speaking of whilwinds, yesterday was the Statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey (@shccnj) and of course I found out about this event on Twitter, yes a day before. I woke up that morning in a "cloudy" mood, meaning uggghh its raining , not a good day, jump in the shower, dont think about it, then bam! my soul said this to me: if you dont go , you are a failure! What? when , where , oh hell no! I accommodated my rats nest of a hair to the best of my ability, took a quick shower, and bam I was ready! Of course I get there bright and early (this is the chirpy mood inside me) then Oh , I just realized we are running in Spanish time. No hot Goya coffee yet, no empanadas, no nothing. PPL slowly started to set their table as in slow motion, well this latina did not miss a beat! I was running around w/ my umbrella, got the ummm so called Brownstone coffee and grabbed the first pens / highlighter, bags and guess what at the end of the day the merch was Umbrellas! ha . One of the messages that stood out for the "Latinas in Social Media" panel was what one of the panelists said: Continue moving forward,  Follow through, Make a plan!
• Its here... Lets do this! WHAT ? well aprox. one year ago something I read something tragic on my TL , the sudden and tragic death of an author. But this wasnt any author. She was a single mom, living in NJ , author of a childrens book on ADHD. I had never heard of her before, but somehow , someway I was going to do something to honor her legacy. And since this week my 12 year old son has approached me with : "Mom can you do this already? you have been talking about this for almost a year". Insert surpised emoji here. Woah , I'm not talking . From now on I will be doing. Yes doing. The author was : Tanji Dewberry , her book:  Oh Fiddlesticks! My plan? 

To type for Tanji
To tweet for Tanji
To talk for Tanji
Thats right, but I will need funds to purchase typewriters, the big dry erase boards and start teaching / tutoring. Yep, we are learning to type old school  as in use your fingers typewriters. Its hard work and thats how I learned decades ago , if I could do it w/ my skinny fingers whining the whole time, so can you!
Anyway, I left the best part out for every 8 sessions that I manage to book, One book of Ms. Dewberry will be donated to a local library in her honor & we wont stop until we covered the entire State of NJ.
Wew, so who is with me...??
Stay tuned, I have to set my IndieGogo account to raise the mullah $$$
