Beach Money.....Never judge a book by its cover!!

After returning to Athens from a short trip to ATL my red-headed roommate had hit the bottle and was now a brunette.....wow....what a difference. She said it was her natural color and it was time to get back to who she really is. She had already shared with me that just before I arrived last month she had let her lip piercing grow closed...so just maybe at almost 23 the party girl is calming down. She had even taken out her garbage while I was gone....amazing. Perhaps this book is about to change her cover....would be a wonderful thing. My party central apt has actually been very quiet lately. My red-head, now brunette roomie is now dating an ex-boyfriend again, he is 30 and seems to be a nice guy. In what little time we have chatted he has admitted to the wild times he used to have but says he's past that and ready to make something of his life. He's a master plumber now and looking for a job. I think he may have a wonderful influence over my party girl. He seems to be really crazy about her...so we'll see.
The lease on the apt ends July 31st...and all but one girl will move on....2 will move to the working world since they graduated last month and one is renting a house with some other kids....one will renew and stay for another year and last weekend her parents brought up a couch. Very nice folks, but rather odd for me to meet a roomies parents that were likely my age.....yes, this whole experience is one for the books. Perhaps I judged my red-head too quickly, I see changes coming.
Speaking of books...my upline in Ignite gave me a book to read...Beach Money....a quick read and a very inspiring book. I'm so excited about my Ignite business....this has such potential....everyone uses energy, I just have to get past the doubters, move to the real believers and those that can see the potential and roll on. As stated in my meeting last night, this can compress a 25-30yr career into 3-5yrs.....I can like that. In 3 1/2 yrs I can draw my pension from my 25yr career....so it is my goal to also have an income from Ignite by then, and if I find the right folks for my team we will all be making more than that 25yr pension will provide!! I have faith and have met some wonderfully positive folks in Athens that are willing to help anyone at anytime. It's so neat to be involved with folks that are fired up and so positive. Last night I took a long time hispanic family friend to the Ignite meeting at headquarters. I know he and his family could work this together and it would be a great help to them. As he stated on our ride home....."if I plant an apple tree this year, it will not have fruit for at least a year"......then I knew he had gotten it.....this will not happen overnite, but it can and will happen given the time and effort that anyone of us would/have/will put into a traditional corporate job.

Meanwhile, aerial photo sales are going ok but not great. Memorial weekend killed me....between the rain and folks vacationing it's been tough. In fact, there is talk that I will be moving on in 2 weeks....I have an option to go to VA.....anybody want to go a little north for the summer????
