About Me!

Welcome to my website.  This site is all about me and the things I support, enjoy and love.  As you can see I love cats and support cat rescue.  Where did it all start.  In 1989 I got my first two cats, Keesha & Snuffy and then 12 years later a cat name Seri showed up in my back yard.  Actually she came leaping across the yard as if she had known me whole life.  Little did I know she would change the course of my life forever.  About a month, after she starting her daily routine of arriving for food,  I noticed she had a pudgy stomach.  Lo and behold she was pregnant.  Of course she had to come inside at this point so she moved in.  A few weeks later she sent my life into a spiral.  She went into labor and started giving birth.  Not to just one, two, three, four or five babies...but seven.  Oh my gosh.  I couldn't believe this tiny little cat had that many healthy babies inside.  Long story short, I kept two and now I had four. That is when my life became about the CATS!  Over the next few years I took in strays and dumped and unwanted cats.  Including one cat I found that could not walk well.  His name was Dexter.  I found out years later that Dexter had a bb lodged in his spine.  Someone had shot him and that is the reason he could not walk well.  We had some wonderful years together as you can read about if you click the link for Dexter.  Dexter passed away tragically on July 14 of this year.  He was enjoying some time outside overnight when some dogs chased and killed him.  At least that is the story my neighbor told me.  I found him in the morning lying peacefully at rest under the tree in front of the house next door.  He was coming home.  I was devastated.  As one could imagine after having put their heart and soul into this precious, sweet unfortunate creature.  He taught me so much in my short time with him and has left a huge paw print on my heart.

Over the past few years I've brought in many cats and lost many due to illnesses.  It has and always will be very difficult to accept losing these precious, formerly unwanted and lost felines but the joy they brought to my life will never be forgotten. 

 

After thousands of dollars in vet bills I decided I needed to try to get back on my feet so I decided to try becoming a Virtual Assistant.  I found such sites as http://www.Odesk.com and http://www.Elance.com that hired Virtual Assistants, Word Processes, Web Designers and so on.  Oh this was right up my alley.  Skills that I have and had not been using.  In this journey with various jobs and networking I have found some delightful people and exciting opportunities.  What a great idea to have websites where you can bid on jobs.  And even hire someone to do a job for you that you just don't have the time or skills to do yourself.   I have been having the time of my life being creative, learning and growing.  My skillset is ever increasing and there is no end to the possibilities this has opened up in my life.  So, now, here I am working full time and pursuing a career as a Virtual Assistant/Personal Assistant.  I'm utilizing all those skills I learned over my career as a student and employee.  I even managed to get my niece to sign on and within a couple days she had a job.  She really likes this working at home in her pj's idea.  And she is only 19 years old.  Lucky for her to have an opportunity like this to learn different things, develop new skills and learn how to interview and  to work for a variety of people.  She seems to really like it and I like being able to share the experiences with her.  So, if you get a chance please check out my profile on both Elance and Odesk and spread the word that I'm available for hire.  You might also tell your friends, family and co-workers that they can also post jobs for things they would like done and have people bid on the job.  The bids are really great too. 

Hugs to all my friends and family who always encourage me to chase my dreams and follow my heart including putting up with me going to college pursing a variety of "ideas for my future".   As I have found it is a wonderful world full of opportunities.  When you stop learning you have stopped living.  Thanks to my Mom and Dad for all the years of encouragement and support even when you didn't agree with my endeavors.  I'm excited about what the future has to hold and will never stop looking. 

This site is dedicated to the life of my precious disabled cat name DEXTER
