Men Are Funny Creatures


Men and their logic often escape me and my sweetie is no exception! We work different shifts, he nights, me days. He loves to record TV programs that he misses while at work. So the deal was he could record on the bedroom TV, leaving our other television free for my viewing pleasure, provided the recording ends before I go to bed. The VCR in the bedroom makes strange noises when it stops recording and that wakes me up. Seems logical, right? One night before he left for work, I came into the bedroom and heard the VCR humming away. I asked him how long it was set to record and he said, sheepishly, “About 1:00 am.” My jaw dropped, but his retort was PRICELESS, he said, “It’s okay, I turned the fan on so that will drown out the VCR sounds!!” I laughed, “My dear,” I said, “Noise is noise!!” He is such a sweetheart, how could I be mad at him for trying to be thoughtful? Thank god for men, life would be so boring without them! www.foldinmoney.com

Struggles, Haiti and Molly Hightower

I started out to write about my struggles with overcoming my disability due to a stroke that left me unable to speak. Then the earthquake in Haiti happened and Molly Hightower died. I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing Molly and it is tragic that her life was ended way too soon. From all the news reports I’ve heard, she had a good heart and lived her live knowing she was helping those children.

On the other hand, think about it for a minute, are you living your passion like Molly did? Is your job and life fulfilling in the way hers seemed to be? Finding a passion in life can be a really difficult task, so in that regard, I am truly blessed. I found my passion, being a woman and owning my own business doing something I love! My company Foldin’ Money is so fun and so unique that it makes me happy to be a part of it. As a stroke survivor I am doubly blessed in that I can run my business in spite of my garbled speech. Find your passion, follow your dreams, live is short, live it well. I know this is a different type of blog entry for me, I hope you will all give thanks for the blessings in your life! Thanks for listening! www.foldinmoney.com

A. Something from a bridal registry?

Giving cash is not tacky any more!

Top 5 reasons to give cash as a gift:
Money is universal everyone needs more of it (not stuff)
Money does not expire or perish (gift cards or food)
Money is useful and un-limiting they can buy what they want or need
Money as a gift is more memorable then you’d think
Money is a no hassle, no worries idea because it cross culture, non religious, and all inclusive.
Some people would say money as a gift is tacky or not classy; this is not on trial today. There are many great solutions for giving cash in a personal way. My favorite is when you pair cash with a Foldin’ Money Design Kit you will see how personal giving cash really can be. These designs can be decorated to suite any occasion; they ship flat, and are absolutely unforgettable.
