If Today Wasn’t a Business Woman Entreprenure/Mom Day I don’t Know What Was. . .
Today was Blessing’s, my oldest daughter, last day at the house. Tomorrow she will be sleeping in her own apartment for the first time. She picks up the U-Haul at 10 a.m. and will be moving the big furniture pieces with a guy friend. Today we moved a bunch of the smaller items by packing her father’s SUV full from behind the front seats to the very back. A time that was tough for here, the poor thing is having such a hard time. She wants to leave and then she doesn’t. She cried a lot last night so we watched a movie together. We watched “Everbody’s Fine”, which she wanted to rent. Of course that made her cry the entire way through. I wasn’t sure if it was a good choice or not, but at the end she said she really liked that movie a lot. Then she said, “You said you blogged about my moving, can you read that to me?” So I did and I cried all the way through, having to stop frequently to gain my composure. If you’re interested in reading it go to my calendar and click on December 1st. If you do know that you have to click on the posts title to get it to open for you. Took me more than a half minute to figure that out. LOL.
It’s so amazing to believe that she is moving. Hard to even process at times. But here she is, 19 going on 20 renting her first apartment. Such a healthy step forward. A needed step. I think when Blessing was born she was already 10 years old. She’s always been ahead of herself. More than one person has said she’s an old soul and no statement could be truer. But then Bless is a real family person. She loves us all to bits and pieces, she’s very mothering, so leaving is very, very hard. I think tomorrow she will be much better. Once she’s in and her furniture is placed in it’s proper locations. That will make a big difference. Tonight I ambled around with her for almost two hours after cleaning up from the meal because as she said, “This is my last night here.”
Beyond moving things with Blessing, Zac was home from school again. Last night he mentioned that his head was hurting a lot and his father and I felt it best he get another days rest. And he needed it. He slept till after 11 a.m. He was looking much better this evening, thank goodness so he’ll be off again tomorrow. Not that he’s been missing school by any stretch of the imagination 
Had a full day today on top of everything I worked for almost five hours, caring for the twins I watch. I do love those two little toddlers. I always wanted twins so this is my slice of life enjoying a set. Although I will say that it’s nice not to have to have them 24/7. That part of my life is in the past now and it’s okay. With 8 babies one gets their fill of babies 24/7. Shall we say one becomes ready for the little ones to get older. Of course then they get so “older” that they suddenly rent an apartment, move out, and start their own life and you’re left standing there thinking, “Wow, look at that. My parenting just moved to a completely different level. I am now a parent to an adult. Essentially parenting is over.” Having a 25 year old son immersed me into this facet of life but that was a long time ago frankly, this is almost like starting over, but not quite. I’ve learned a lot. But nothing really changing that there is a major transition that occurs. Nothing.
Otherwise, had a phone meeting and researched various things in order to get our tax ID for Free the Mind Productions. Which, BTW I filed the paper for yesterday! That was an exciting moment. March 3, 2010 became the official day that we were “announced to the world”. The numbers on that date add up to 9, I really need to look up the meaning to 9. Do you know what it’s significance is? That leave the tax ID, some legal decisions of how we want that established then I can secure it. Then a checking account. Then a Paypal business account.
This is all tremendous, our “business” is suddenly taking shape into a “real business”. And there’s more to come, businesswise. I’ll keep you posted.
Want you to know I wasn’t going to blog tonight. The day has been jammed full and I’m ready for bed, but then I thought, I need to I didn’t yesterday and so much has happened then and today how can I not “fill you in”? “Keep you posted”. “Up to date”. “Current”.
Now you’re current…
Night, love ya,

-whose watching another of her chicks leave the nest tomorrow…
I ask you to read this in full, on a good day when you’re in a good mood. I may not say what you like to hear, but I say what you need to hear, and I say it because I care about you. Not just you, but all people, don’t think I’m focusing on just you
…*stares into your soul* 
just kidding!
Let me ask you something. Why do you feel numerology is key to your success or failure? If that is key – looking to the numbers, the starry heavens (which God tells people from the Bible not to do but that’s a different subject), or to any other sign for what is going on, then it absolves a person from responsibility, and places blame squarely on the cosmos.
It is natural for us as humans to want to try to interpret our world, to find some pattern in amongst randomness. I mean that’s the idea behind evolution – order came from nothing. An intelligent designer didn’t do it, it was order from randomness. But if order among chaos (thereby denying God his role as creator) really is what this world is, then we are powerless to stop the “cosmic order”, the cosmic force. And to say that this cosmic force is God, is to say that God wants us to suffer, and die, and he wants us to be aware of that by a simple mechanism of looking into the stars, tea leaves, tarot cards, and the liver and kidneys ( people did this in ancient times).
Think about it though. God gave us free will. According to the Bible (I have read you pray so I assume you believe the Bible) Adam and Eve disobeyed God (their choice) and suffered the consequences for it. That is not a loving God, to know that they were going to disobey him but he made them anyway.
But think about it – if it were “written in the cards” so to speak, then why wear seatbelts? If it’s written in the stars for a person to die, they’re going to die, right? If it were up to number manipulation (numerology) to decide success or the right course of action, then why didn’t my grandfather become insanely rich?
So what I suggest is you take a lesson from Grace. Determination and free choice is what makes or breaks a person. Granted there is randomness, but remember that the Bible says that can happen to even the best planned ideas. Insurance companies know risk, and know how to manage risk, and they’re successful – unless they’re under poor management, but that’s like blaming the car for breaking down when you didn’t do regular maintenance – it’s insane to blame blind chance.
Take more confidence in yourself. I know you’re nervous, as any person would be, but a businessman I know has two sayings. “Fake it tilll you make it” meaning if you appear big, you can become big (watch the movie “Be Cool” for the example), and the other is “use your money as if it was monopoly money” meaning take chances and think of life and your money as a game. That takes the pressure off and helps you into the proper mindset for success – that of managing people effectively without worrying about ‘what if I fail”.
Take care of yourself ok?

The number 9 is associated with tolerance, generosity, forgiveness, creative energy, success, and a deep love of life.
Below you will find 9 facts about the number 9:
1. Nine is not yet the full or complete, number ten, but it does mark the ending. It is the last of the single digits, in our decimal numbering system. Thus it can represent the conclusion or ending of a matter.
2. Bullinger also notes that it has a link with the number six. In that the sum of its factors is six (3 x 3 = 9, 3 + 3 = 6). Thus nine can particularly represent the conclusion of mans works. We see that the numeric value (gematria) of the word Dan is 54 = 9 x 6. Dan means a judge.
3. The number nine represents finality or judgment.
4. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest. Hebrews 3:11
The phrase “my wrath”, in the Greek is th orgh mou. This has a numeric value (gematria) of 999. Statements 1- 4 were taken from this {Source}.
5. This number has also been used to describe the perfect movement of God. {Source}
6. There are 9 gifts of the spirit: the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge, faith, healing, the working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, divers kinds of tongues, and the interpretation of tongues. {1 Corinthians 12:8-10 }
7. Nine is the square of three, and three is the number of Divine perfection, as well as the number peculiar to the Holy Spirit.
8. It is not surprising, therefore, to find that this number denotes finality in divine things.
9. “Fruit (not fruits) of the Spirit” comprises nine (32) graces: (1) love, (2) joy, (3) peace, (4) longsuffering, (5) gentleness, (6) goodness, (7) faith, (8) meekness, (9) temperance,* while
it will be noticed that in this fruit of the Spirit “temperance” is put last; while in the “works of the flesh” (vv 19-21), which are sixteen in number (42, the earth number), “drunkenness and revellings” are put last! Truly man’s ways are not God’s ways, nor God’s thoughts man’s thoughts (Isaia
Theresa, those are just a couple of the million things people have posted about the number nine. Nine has been an important number in my life, I was born in the ninth month and Kip proposed to me on the ninth day of November. I guess it should be left up to each individual what they want to believe or what they feel.
Congratulations to you and Blessing!! You must be so proud of her, it is such a big step and she wouldn’t be able to do it if she didn’t have supporting parents. You did a good job and I wish her the best. Kellie
Thank you for the wonderful response. It seems 9 has some wonderful meanings. Pleased to see the impact it has had in your life as well. Another similarity we share.

I’m amazed that you took such a simple statement and turned it into a very complicated nothing. Your comments have nothing to do with what I believe in. I suggest that you relax, calm down, and not bombard people with your religiosity. If I need religion I’ll call my mother.
Thank you very much,
Theresa Jane
