Been working hard on my Business - Bridal Letter

Bridal Letter has some new additions...

Recycled glass favors and decor from Couronne Co Italian Glass.
I still need to spend time coming up with embellishment ideas and a video, but everything is moving along nicely now.

One of my favorite developments, kids favors for weddings to accommodate a wedding craft table. A very thoughtful addition to weddings expecting children to attend.

Shouldn't the paper cones you throw rice, lavender or millet bird seed be pretty?  I think so and in fashion trending colors for 2012-2013. I have a great deal more to do on the website, blogs and adding more to the accessories line. The bridal business is an inspirational experience. It is amazing the huge variety of themes, personality and taste goes into a single wedding.

No Compromise Equals No Way to Work Though a Problem

When you find yourselves saying,  "get out or I am leaving!", it may be because the issue your are fighting about is hitting a wall. When one or both people do not come together and compromise, it leaves no where to go with the issue but out the door.

Sometimes it is parenting teens or finances or career choices or growing apart. Either way, the end results will have the same options.

Personal experience in the past with that circumstance made it clear to both people that in order to stay together - compromise is part of making any relationship work. Your desire to stay together is the love, if that goes missing, compromise will be missing too and then it may be time to move on.

A new cross road in life and a temp stopping point on my mid life bridge

Just as I thought my life was starting to clarify itself a little better; it once again presented many new avenues to reconsider. My comfort zone and the unknown is currently holding me back a bit from moving forward across my "midlife bridge" at this point. There are multiple issues right now.

Issue #1 relationship - is it everything I need and want and allows me to be myself and grow? Is it supportive and am I supportive in return? Should I look back on my original needs following divorce and replay those to ensure those needs are met? Those original needs such as, do I feel like myself or am I spending more time accommodating and meeting someone else's needs more than my own and at the sacrifice of myself? Am I doing exactly what I feel I want to be doing now? Am I satisfied with my work? Am I just rethinking this because engagement is again presenting itself and I am scared of that idea? Is it more negative then I prefer?
   #1 Answer.... Undecided

Issue #2 kids. - What should I do to help them be more motivated, goal oriented and independent? What options are there to get them outside the house and experiencing the real world? How can I help them feel happier and still expect them to do normal daily expected chores and helping out at home?
    #2 answer as of Oct 2011. Allowing my daughter to have a boyfriend now at the age of 14 and her focus on forensics (form of theatrical debating) and journalism; she is now working towards things in life that matter. My son is finally restarting a hobby, RC car racing and the tech school for auto body is giving him a direction; ambition is still lacking. At the age of 17 he continues with talk about a cars, driving and a job.

Issue #3 my car - Will I fix the front end on time or not. Should I get the newer Nissan Altima now or wait? Now that 40 year old side of myself wants that little Infinity sports car instead with two doors, but it is just a tad too soon for that yet. My heart is clamoring after it passionately :)
   #3 answer I fixed my old car and took the smart route, paying things off to make life easier. My new found interest is a 2008 Range Rover Sport with low mileage!

Issue #4 2nd BA degree - Should I go back to school and will I get accepted by such an Ivy league school? Do I really want to spend so much time on education again and less time on my hobbies and passions? How much will it affect my work time and businesses? If I do go, the loans delay and when I finish the 2nd BA and obtain the higher paying job, it will be easier to pay the student loans. Or will my business do very well soon and the additional education and higher paying job becomes unnecessary?
   #4 Answer is of October 2011 - NO more school. I am done with degrees and now applying what I know is a better option and no additional loans to add to my rap sheet.
  
Issue #5 Focus - Have I reduced enough of the midlife extras I created over the last few years, down to a  manageable group of things to work on and people to spend my time with? Or are there still too many projects and interests to complete. Is it time to prioritize again and reduce the projects a little more to produce a higher degree of focus and success and more time for family?

   Answer #5 in October 2011. There is always more things to reduce and that is an ongoing situation. The difference now is focusing on and completing the top priority things first. Place a date on the other items and it will all keep rolling towards gaining more value from my time.

When there is that many questions again and a stopping point is reached again; it means it is time for a self assessment again to clear up the unknown and move forward across the bridge while feeling good about the choices.

Flickr and Paper.li - adding pictures and learning how to use Paper.li

Flickr - I spent some time uploading vacation pictures from Galveston Texas and Stampin Up Convention 2011 from Salt Lake City, Utah. I like how easy it is to send them from my phone to the site. The option to create a group is really cool, I would like to do that with the convention images and for weddings too.

Paper.li  I figured out how to create it, but not sure how it is actually pulling content unless it is just from my FB, Twitter and blog pages directly. Really interesting new site but more help to use it is needed. Right now, my paper shows blank.Would be nice to add some  articles directly onto the site or to edit a bit more freely.  Thanks Adam Troudat for the link and tutorial, that did get me started.




6 Ways to Stop Stressing over People, Places and Things

Don't overwork and over stress your pituitary glands as my mom now tells me. So I came up with a new way of life to reduce stress instead of thriving in it daily.

6 Ways to Stop Stressing over People Places and Things
By Brenda Green July 23, 2011

1. Stop verbally fighting with everyone close to you. Talk to them more calmly and remind yourself to just let it go, with a few deep breaths and focus on responding more positively and/or use the wording, "I understand, I can see your point of view, I think that is an idea to consider, You may be right..." And when you talk to them, use the word "I" more than you use "You" so it doesn't sound accusative or blaming.

2. It is time for your passions and not just the things you have to do. Start dropping off those things you dread or just find you don't have time for and start placing your extra attention on your passions. Can't remember what they are? Explore your home, your dairy/journal, search around on the Internet, what did you love doing when you were a child? It is amazing how much better you can feel when you truly work on something you love and look forward to that time again. I have found some ideas in magazines and in attending a few club events.

3. Change your focus. If you hear yourself talking about all the things going wrong in your life or the money troubles or things happening that you find you now blame others more often; it is time to change your focus. This is a big step to focus on yourself first, analyze what is not working and come up with another option. Another way to handle people and situations.

4. Never under estimate the power of breathing! It sounds funny, but it is your most useful tool to reduce stress. It helps you breath through pain, take a minute to think before you speak and notice your surroundings. Use it to meditate or just to relax a few minutes. This is where places and things come into play, for me; getting on a small plane is an issue. I always take deep breathes getting on and up threw take off and then I feel fine.

5. Associate something you like or a place you enjoy when you feel stressed over the unknown things you are rolling over in your mind or for places creating a great deal of concern for you or when you are stressing over something you have to do or complete. It takes you away from the bad feeling for a while and makes you feel a little easier and relaxed. I think of walking on the beach picking up seashells, hearing and feeling the waves. (cliched, yes but works for me).

6. Short trip? Getting completely away from work and home opens your mind to the fact that there is more out there in life than just your small world. It also gets you away from any problems for a little while and you can enjoy new scenery, good food or take a book with you and sit somewhere comfortable to read. Maybe you like more action, watch a race or sporting event in another town or state. Go to a water park or amusement park. Nothing like some fun and laughter to get you out of a rut and think more clearly when you return home.

Nothing like travels to make a person feel great - Seals in Galveston, TX

May 2011 Moody Gardens seals in Galveston Texas. They just did their same swim over and over again. It is so engaging to watch them take full advantage of the space they were given. I highly recommend families to go and visit this special place.

What I am doing this summer with sales, bridal, baby and Blue Springs

Elissa sailboat on Peir 21.
What I (Brenda Green) am doing this summer. In May 2011 I visited the beach in Galveston, Texas. Was good to feel the sand and find so many shells and sea glass again. I think a 2nd home would be nice some day; one right on the beach.

Down in the fan walk area where they inspect the race cars.

Went to my first NASCAR race on June 5, 2011 thanks to Sprint Sponsorship. Very hot but very worthwhile and loved going. I can feel the NASCAR fan virus catching on.

I am trying to get my son out the door and working his first job, although I am not pushing real hard because I want him to do it on his own. I am feeling a lot of resistance. Why a teenager would rather be bored is beyond my thinking My daughter missed out on volunteering at the Jacomo Day camp, the one year she is old enough and then they moved the age up - big disappointment!

I am applying to About.com again, this one is for Wedding Invitations, so wish me luck! I really want to be a part-time writer.

http://mygarageandyardsales.com/ is taking off very well. This business is a lot of fun and it is a wonderful way to help charities and fundraisers when they have a garage sale or community sale to raise funds for their cause. I list them for free on my website. I am working on more articles to better help the people setting up a sale and all of us that like to go to them. So far:  "5 Things to look for on Twitter and Why" and "10 Ways to go shopping at yard sales PREPARED". I am working on a staging your garage sale to make the best presentation of your things.

Bridal Letter is getting some additions to the line. I am waiting on the 40% recycled glass bottles for honey and I am working on the favors to use for throwing lavender or white millet bird seed - eco-friendly ways and no clean up for your ceremony locations.

Stampin Up - I am going to Convention for the first time in Salt Lake City, UT mid July. I hope to bring new ideas to use in my bridal and baby shower businesses and for people that love to stamp like I do.

About.com - On Backorder

As I gain more writing experience and opportunities, I will return to About.com again and apply for new writer jobs. I am grateful that they offer such a wonderful opportunity; especially now that blogging is such a big thing, growing every day.

I have attended the Blogging Summit 2011 in February and Social Media Summit 2011 in May, with plans to follow up with their certification offer this summer from White Paper Source. It is amazing the people, books and information found and how I can use it in every aspect of my online work. I have so much to read, I am learning to read fast and in sections rather than word for word in every book and article. Thank goodness for the Kindle too.

I applied to About as a part-time writer under Style etiquette

I found myself feeling very excited about applying to About.com as a part-time writer. The area suited to me is Style etiquette because of my bridalletter.com website and work in the wedding field. This became a very clear tool for me to use after learning more in depth about blogging through the 2011 Blogging Summit and social media from books (the summit is upcoming in May). It may be a while before I hear back, but it gives me plenty of time to add more articles to my own blogs and work as that already employed writer. I love it! I recommend anyone that writes or blogs to check it out as an opportunity to improve and work professionally.

All things discussed about blogging, working as a professional writer; even if just potential opened up a whole new door of ideas and opportunities. It gave me a much clearer understanding on how to look for and write that "quality content"the experts all talk about. I quickly found areas of missing information on the Internet that I was able to fill. There will be even more as I schedule time to create more for the bridal industry and I may do that for mybabyshower.com too.

I am new to Twitter, (@ reviewsbling ) but I am really loving it so much better now. So many contacts and new ideas and real time information to follow. The poor battery on my Android phone just drains down continuously on any given day. I maintain viewing it on a computer instead. I am anxious to learn more about Twitter.

This is truly a welcome opportunity and an excellent way to take my new found self and apply it to a new area in life that pulls it right out of that mid life rut. I hope all of you can find that one thing that does the same for you - the guiding light and new found bliss in and a new thing to do in life.

Update #1 on Stubborn Teenager

While my son was still at his low point, I searched for a psychologist. That search went unheard, I had no idea how extremely difficult it is to find one for a child. In the meantime, my son's favorite hobby and its upcoming state event pulled him back around. He knew if he wanted to go, he would have to get the grade up passed an F. In a short time, he was happier and he brought the grades up. I let him go to the event with a promise he needs to continue to improve. I also told him he needs to apologize to my boyfriend on his own terms. My son pretty much flat out said "FU" but it was an indirect conversation that meant the same thing.

He is still in the talking stages of a job, a car, etc. I told him he needs to make the effort to do those things and show real desire to do and have those responsibilities and freedoms, I am not going to hold his hand like a small child and have him do them when he is obviously not ready yet.

I see short term improvement.

Again, about a month later - end of March; he is returning to his original thoughts and plans that he liked and wanted to do. It all seemed to balance itself out so far.

Have another wedding?

As I make bridal favors, I imagine using them in my own wedding. The insight gives me true feeling whether I love it enough to use it myself - then I know I have something special for someone else.

This is the one I love and would put on my wedding reception tables. SWEET!

After divorce, it is much scarier to consider remarrying sometime after that. None of us want to fail again or pick the wrong person. I have a comfortable life and the thought of somehow potentially disrupting that just feels wrong. I look at wedding stuff all the time. I can feel the urges of that sweet innocent feeling to just love and cherish and pick out all these wonderful flowers, cakes, dresses and shoes. It is amazing how new and different a wedding is today compared to the early 90's. So much more about the bride and groom, so elegant and special. I love watching the wedding shows, I even cry sometimes.

What is the hold/scare? Failure a second time around. Fear of big conflicts that could destroy the relationship. Changes within oneself that separate the couple. Can I do everything I want to do during the second half of my life or will I feel restrictions or limitations and that draining away of some dreams? Is the Mayan calendar right? If the end of the world is in 2012 do I want to stick with my comfort zone or venture outward more.

The main point is there are questions, unknowns and conflicts to handle at some point but when the love, closeness and happiness outweigh the unknowns - then I think remarrying is worth the thought and maybe the plan towards a set date.

Bliss 5 ways to Have it Again

BLISS 5 WAYS TO HAVE IT AGAIN

Midlife crisis has a way of smashing bliss into a millon broken pieces.
A broken chocolate candy bar is my bliss example. Notice there are big pices and litte ones, crumbs and irregular shapes. There is space between them both great and short distances too. Chocolate tastes good to most people some people wouldn't touch it. Some people can't eat it, could cause diabetic shock to the system. Some people eat bad things when they feel bad, some can eat just a few pieces at a time and then do something else.

Find your bliss again. You want to feel satisfied about yourself, your home, your life, your job, your loved ones, your religion or spirituality or independent views and your interests/hobbies. Midlife tends to bury that under a pile of dirt for a while. Your only interpretation of the picture at this point is the fact that the bar is broken and you may feel broken.

1. Focus on yourself first. This is your self review time so you can think about the issues, analyze what is causing you to feel broken down. What are you missing?

2. Pick one thing you feel is the most important to you right this minute. This will vary for each person. When you engage yourself in this one thing (can be a person) you will focus on it alone, the deficient areas and start looking for the solutions to fill that void in a satisfying, healthier way. This is your foundation step to build on. Think about the parts that make you happy or what made you feel good about it in the passed. Now you need to add new reasons and ways this thing (or person) can make you happy today and into the future. If you need to add something else into it, such as sharing it with others that like the same thing. Make it into a craft or an event or just write about it.

3.  Now pick something bigger to work on. Preferably the surroundings at home or your job (if unhappy for any reason) If a place is affecting you on a very deep and intimate level on a daily basis you get sucked in by the negativity. For people that are Visual learners, visualize the place in your mind to be exactly the way you really want it to be. Do that as often as you can til you start to see the changes happening. The idea is to dissolve the negative feelings, affects and surroundings. For other types of learners, just begin dropping all negative thoughts and statements and restate them in a positive form. STOP every negative. Others will change or the environment will change on their own. I love Joel Osteen's quote, "be a rose among the weeds..."  This is your goal.

4. Pick a new hobby or interest to enjoy. One of the things that happens to us is we lose interest in the things we used to enjoy doing. Now is the time to find something new. You can look into your childhood, something your friend does that you admire or read through some articles or online searches. Thirst for knowledge? Great time to go to college. Online is great for someone like me, but to get yourself out around others if you have the time for traditional classes, then do that. This can lead to a new line of work if you found yourself unable to continue with a current employer.

5. Earning your bliss - the reward. Feeling internal satisfaction on an ongoing basis means you worked hard to get your bliss back again. The other "pieces" should start to fall into place again too. You can now shower the ones close to you with your love and new found self. The reality is sometimes we change so much, we end our current relationships and start new ones. Do this only if you feel strongly you are unwilling to remain with your spouse or partner. Usually when you truly run through these steps, even if you pushed them away during the onset of the midlife crisis; you feel better about them again now. Spending that time looking at the why you love them is what will tell you if you can or cannot.

New hairstyle to freshen up my spirit

From this --->



to Spectacular highlights and a little style from Anna at Casa Bella Salon. Love this place.
When my hair gets too dark, I feel darker. Now I feel up for taking on the world!
To make yourself feel better, do not go to a quickie chop shop, spend the extra cash and enjoy a pampering session in a hair salon that takes their time. It is an opportunity to develop a new friendship with your hair stylist too. So get yourself ready for some conversation. If you have been spending too much time at home dealing with your downward feelings, this is truly an easy way to slip back into the people world and feel good about yourself to. Motivation will follow...

Funny about foods and ingredients like MSG

As we all get older and think more about what we eat as we border on a fine line between healthy and 1 in 3 getting cancer; I want to talk about MSG. It really is not just in Chinese foods. It is in a large number of everyday products we use.


The Truth About MSG
chinese food

One site I feel has some unbiased facts is http://www.msgtruth.org/
I can relate to the one time I experienced an instant migraine headache, but I didn't know until I found this site that ibuprofen can block that triggered affect.

Another important factor, have your children take Advil prior to immunizations, see the link to read the full details and why. I wish I knew about this many years ago, I always had a fear about them developing autism following any one immunization.

The reason I am bringing this subject about MSG is because my boyfriend has experienced a much more extreme reaction to it. Since this has happened exactly the same way 4 different times. The common or same things that occurred are: he had a high level of alcohol in his system (beer). The food had a certain amount of MSG or other type of preservative in it. He took 3 bites, got non-stop hiccups, immediately threw up and had a sore throat to follow. This was steakburgers from a mail order company two different times and this last time was chicken marinated in Italian dressing that contained a preservative and it was a brand we don't normally use.  He doesn't seem to experience it every time but with the two toxins together - MSG and toxic level of alcohol - he gets that reaction.

We plan to watch those labels a little closer too next time we go shopping.

From Breaking Point to New Opportunities Realized


Reading the article in Time, I can tell I am like many others myself. I have always seen opportunity in situations or ideas and I think that helps me through any possible stagnant moments.
"Many feel that along the way, while they were getting their promotion or having their kids or managing their households, they set aside something important that they want to retrieve..." (time.com, Gibbs) Midlife means it is time to stop and do for ourselves or help others now.

The Breaking Point: How Female Midlife Crisis Is Transforming Today's Women, which suggests that the national conversation is about to have a hot flash. — Sue Shellenbarger.
I have had an additional restriction that I have turned into a new type of opportunity. I have had an injury for nearly a year now limiting many aspects of my life and yes adding to the downward pull of a crisis time. I have learned about blogging, attended the Blogging Summit 2011 in February and gained a greater understanding for why and how useful it is today. It is a great avenue to further share information and help others. Take something you love or want to expand on and start your own blog. It is beneficial as an outlet and eventually, people will find and follow you. Reach out to others and offer up your expertise, images, videos and resources you find along the way.
My other hobby, Stampinup/scrapbooking. My creative outlet is now unleashed once again. I did have to wait til after my education was complete. I have two blogs for this hobby:  http://www.bridalletter.blogspot.com/ and http://www.mybabyshowershop.blogspot.com/.
Go from breaking point to a newly realized opportunity you may have kept quiet for years. What is holding you back now? The answer should be nothing. Enjoy your time, your hobby or interest or dream. It is time for you. If you don't know what you want, then it will be a part of your self-discovery.

How Did I Get Here?

I arrived in midlife crisis on Jan 9th, 2011 on my 40th birthday. Right along with my newly acquired B.A. degree in paralegal studies from Everest University on that same day. Was it creeping up a little before that? Yes I think so.

Married and divorced once, with a son that is 16 (not driving yet - otherwise this would be a much Bigger Crisis Time) and a daughter age 14 (the age you are terrifed to let them have access to the internet and boys).

I have worked for the same comany for over three years, but I find corporate America is hard on a person's morale. It is best to remind oneself it is business, not personal and it helps keep it all in perspective. I like my pay, benefits and some of the people I work with. I am always working on businesses that may allow me to stay away from corporate choas down the road.

I think this is the motto to guide us through the fog. “You will not expend energy on denial, survival, or suppression, but you will gain energy from insight, evolution, and expression…from being authentic. The energy that fuels an extraordinary life is harnessed from within your heart.” Living Forward at Midlife
by Suzanne Zoglio, Ph.D http://www.soulfulliving.com/living_forward_midlife.htm
Soulfulliving.com is a resource site filled with experts in the field of midlife crisis.

My boyfriend of nearly four years has already experienced the great PUSH from me. I recently tried very hard to end it and make him leave. He held strong as he normally does. I am sure he had no idea it was more me then him. Although I had some valid reasons about him too. Many woman make a more grave mistake of affairs or going wild suddenly. I don't feel the need to do that. I had my wild time after my divorce and before committing to my boyfriend, John. He talks about marriage, I still feel very uneasy about it. "Been there, done that." Not seeing enough reason to do it again and not an area I feel the need to make another mistake in.

I am still in it of course. I lost my father in 2005 to stomach cancer. My mother is still here, so glad. She is 72, has her own home and handling my two difficult siblings. She has many medical things she has to fight all the time, but amazing strong woman. None of us want to be without our parents, but this is the age we begin to near that loss. It's no wonder midlife crisis overwhelms our lives and thoughts at times. Pretty soon, I will experience the empty nest; but that will be another story.

Stubborn Teenagers - 16 and 14

Stubborn Teenagers, what a frustrating experience! As I searched online for a quick solution, I found most articles only selling the information or just repeating what others have already said. I think it is funny, they all seem to start out as "the teenage years are a difficult time..." No really? I think most of us have figured that part out already, thus the reason for searching for solutions.

Sign Baby Care and Lost Kids by Russ and Lori

My son is in 10th grade, was doing well, getting decent grades and then got into a class he quickly realized he couldn't understand and couldn't get out of. He quietly made his own decision to just not do the work at all and fail the class. When checking the grades online, I found the F, discussed it with him and the teacher had emailed me almost the same day to state his problems and her willingness to work with him.

Problem: he is set on not doing the work or learning it. He has disengaged himself since we took the cell phone away and gaming systems (normal thing to do when child is spending hours on that and failing a class, which they regain those things once the grade is passing.) Right after taking the "lifelines away" he had an immediate panic attack and we had an ER visit.

Shortly after that, he took the game systems out of his room himself. On another night he took a lot of stuff out of his room to put it in the trash. In between those times, he refuses to eat at times. Although I have heard him eat later or the next morning. I also laid off of expecting him to sit down at the table for now. Hoping that would take the fire out of his refusal technique.

Some websites say this is the crisis point, so I am searching for a child psychologist and a tutor to help him mentally and to pass the class. I will give an update on this one as soon as I have more feedback and hopefully get passed this frustration.

Help Me Martha Stewart Organize my cluttered house!

I wish for a couple of days, Martha Stewart would come to my house and put everything in its place! How amazing it would be to know where everything is. No searching or digging through deep piles or stacked boxes of paperwork or craft stuff. I am worn out from the building chaos of stuff, the clothing I think I still want to wear, but truly have not. I would like to be able to walk through the entire garage without stepping over something or opening both doors. I would like to part with some of the memorable items too.

I think it is time to fully and completely grab hold of the internal chaos and organize it all to enjoy a more peaceful, uncluttered lifestyle.

There are many articles, books, ebooks and free information on the Internet for all of us. You just have to be willing to do it. For me, that is following my upward climb from a midlife crisis fall.

Some Organizational Happy Article Links
Article/blog "50 Ways to Make your home more organized, more attractive, and more efficient by Dustin Wax.
http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/50-ways-to-make-your-home-more-organized-more-attractive-and-more-efficient.html#

Maybe some printable items like a calendar, lined paper, or household notebook. Cynthia Ewer may have a form to help you. http://organizedhome.com/printable


I like this site, it has a link to each article covering different parts of your home like the garage, adding storage to a room or "helping a pack rat get organized". I think Paul Holstein's website has a whole lot to offer all of us in the unorganized category. http://www.lifeorganizers.com/cm_articles/88_the_organized_home.html  My favorite out of that pack rat article, "#4.RECOGNIZE CLUTTER. As a rule, if you don't use it or enjoy it, its' nothing more than clutter. If you don't know what it is, it's clutter. If it's too nice to use, it's clutter. Toss it or give it to someone who will use it and appreciate it. Maria Garcia, I love your article and if I list too much here, let me know. I give full credit for your useful information. One thing I never thought of til I just now saw it, "#9. PICTURE IT!  Take a picture of the possession, keep it in a scrapbook. This is perfect, I am trying this one out this weekend. I hope it means I can get rid of a much larger number of items now.

men have to deal with a woman's crisis too

Link to purchase information how a husband can better handle his wife’s midlife crisis. Get the 1st chapter for free.
My review of that first chapter: You can tell very quickly the experiences are coming directly from me. This is a very dramatic time and will take a tremendous amount of patience, understanding and tolerance of changes. There are some bonuses with purchasing this ebook, but I think it is useful to get both people through the midlife crisis in one piece.
This book is by Midlife coach – Christine schaap
