The questions isn't really "what should I do?", because you could do any number of jobs or occupations. The questions are actually, what brings you life? What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? Now find something where you get to do more of what brings you life, that focuses more on your strengths, and doesn't require you to do a lot of your weaknesses.

"No parents are perfect", well, except our sons parents, of course 😇😅🤣🤣

I'm pretty sure our son is extroverted, not just because he really likes to get eyecontact with people, but because if he's tired and sees someone, he'll wake right back up! I'm not sure cause I haven't watched a lot of babies, but I'd imagine an introverted baby who needs to be alone reenergize would probably not react like our son.

Last night I met a lady and when I showed our books, she commented that she'd been looking at "Benefits of Bitcoin" and thought about getting it but hadn't been sure cause she wasn't that into numbers... I went, "wait, what, you mean, THIS book specifically?! Not just A bitcoin book?" Yep, she'd been looking at my husband's book on Bitcoin! So I told her a little about it, as it's not about numbers, it's more about how bitcoin will transform the way the world works. (Though not in such eloquent words) When she left she said she's even more interested in getting it now and that she can say that she met the author's wife! Her and her husband were also authors, and Christian and it was just a super cool encounter all around. Like, I'd been asking God if someone could buy me some of that delicious smelling good stuff they sell where I'd been hanging out all day, and then she came by, asking God before entering who was in there and who to talk to and I was highlighted, and she got me 2 lemon scones! 🤯🥰 God is amazing!!!!

It's not good to sit next to a bakery without money while they're baking tasty thing 🤤😭

If I was about 2 inches shorter, I could walk comfortably with my son holding my hands to stabalize himself as he's learning to walk. Anyone figured out how to best walk with their babies instead of arched back? It gets kind of painful after a bit, but it's super awkward to bend my knees, maybe I need to do better squatts 🤣

I considered becoming a wedding planner once and watched a lot of videos from someone who helps couples who wanna have cheaper weddings (they'd still need to pay enough to afford her, but not a crazy huge extravagant wedding budget was needed). I was in Sweden at the time and realized that people don't really use Redding planners there, they use a friend for free, so it wasn't really feasible. Now I live in America and people here are way more prone to pay for services and tip for things they like. I almost had an opportunity to assist at a wedding when my husband and I were sitting at a big table at Starbucks and a group came in who were planning a wedding. I gave some advice that I'd picked up on that seemed really helpful, but since their wedding was around the time of my son's birth, I didn't feel comfortable committing myself, especially for money, to something I might miss due to birthing a kid! 🤣 Now that he's approaching 9 month, I'd love the opportunity to be a day-of coordinator! That basically means someone who has put their own wedding together, but realize they need someone else to step in and run the day so they can enjoy themselves getting married. I'd come in maybe a month before and have a consolation to make sure no important things have been missed, and to learn what's important to the couple, so that I can take over the day and prioritize what's important to the couple. I'd send people down the aisle, I'd be in constant with vendors to see where they're at and let them know if anything is running late, I'd assist the photographer with wrangling the right people if needed, and I'd run interference if the couple gets stuck with some hyper chatty auntie or uncle, or any arguments or too drunkenness occurs. I'd also help coordinate that the couple gets away with what they need, and the gifts go with who they're supposed to, and that any cleanup that's needed actually happens. And anything else that might be needed. If I'm the one doing it or I coordinate with someone else depends on what it is. 🙂 So, if you or anyone you know is getting married and would like to hire me, I charge 850 000 sats, plus travel expenses. (I live in Arizona)

I find it very interesting whenever I hear people talk about how the world works, or how people make decisions. Most of us come from our own vantage point and either think others are acting strange when they make other decisions, or doesn't understand why they do what they do and are waiting for them to start acting like what makes sense to the person talking. Well, I keep heating things and knowing about different personality types, I understand that not everyone is the same. I've needed to learn that not all people want good. Some people are aiming down on purpose and they will keep doing that regardless of if others believe in them. Sure, Jesus can change them, but I can't. Most people who try to make sense of the word forget to take personality into account. This is also why so many people will give "good advice" on how to maneuver the world that doesn't actually work for everyone! A lot of the people that advice doesn't work for are here on Nostr. We are the inventors, the freedom thinkers, those who crave autonomy, those who value what works over cooperation, those who don't follow the status quo and who want to understand and now "why" things are the way they are and not simply be told by someone who thinks they know best, "because I said so".

I just opened the pictures on my phone while my son was looking, and I started scrolling through them, and he was LOVING watching the videos of himself! He was laughing at the ones where he was playing with his dad! I didn't even have the sound on, he just saw it and loved it and laughed again. I love being a mom!

So, yesterday I was done sitting and wrangling our son at a table so I put him on the floor were he stood and played on a chair for a bit and then took my hands and went for a walk. He walked up to a table with 3 older people, they had fun with him for a few minutes before they left. I'm pretty sure my son collects human smiles like pokemon, "gotta catch them all!" 🤣🤣🤣

Donald Trump now calls them "Dumocrats" 🤣

I guess I've been in the game long enough (and on Nostr) that a post like this doesn't stir up excitement anymore, but rather has me going, "Obviously! Wait, are people still debating this?" 🤣 View quoted note →

Growing up whenever we "didnt have any food" it looked more like when a woman "doesn't have anything to wear while looking into a full closet. Now when we don't have anything to eat, we much more accurately don't have anything to eat. I found a can of tomato sauce and transformed it into tomato soup, but nothing with it, I think there's one more can, but then we only have butter and mayo left, and a little ketchup 😅 How does your kitchen look when you "need to go grocery shopping"?

There's a black man from Africa who points out that it wasn't the white man who called themselves superior, it was the black man who saw all the inventions the white man came with when they came to Africa. None of them had made such inventions, but the white man had! And they were impressed. It was so fun watching the black Amerifan host have her worldview cracked because he countered every one of her twisted understandings of reality 🤣 Plus, it opened my eyes to the fact that there's such a thing as "white culture" and it's rather quiet and clean compared to some other cultures, and that's okay. Doesn't mean the others aren't bad, just different!

My son wants to walk so bad that he was about 3 feet away, got up on his knees, whining and looking at my hands, teaching iut his hands to see it he could reach me to stand up yet. I told him to come close but he just looked around for a different way to stand up and didn't find one. After a bit I moved my hand closer and he quickly grabbed it, and walked on his knees until he was close enough to stand up. 🤣

You matter!

My son just stood up over my face and I thought, "awe, and I gotta watch iut for he droolies..." but I forgot about the sneezes which he promptly sprayed all over my face, and then moved away 😳🤣🤣🤣👶 I love him, and I love being mom!

Yesterday our son skipped one of his naps so he whined a lot even while doing what he wanted to do. This morning I was woken up by 6:30am and I fell asleep closer to 1am, so I didn't get enough sleep and now I whine whenever I do something.... yeah, I'm basically a baby! 😅🤣 I need a nap!

After about 8.5 months, I'm still going, "we have a baby!" But today I realized that he's turning into a toddler FAST! 🤯😱 but I haven't gotten used to having a baby yet! (Well, I have and I haven't) I guess I'm experiencing some of what I've heard other moms mention, even the ones who had awful first pregnancies.. that moment some time after having had a kid, they want another one! Yep, bring it on, let's start this process soon cause in 9 months, my current baby will be talking and walking and not be a baby anymore! 🥺
