We just got back from a trip to Vermont to visit family. Just found this quote that sums up why we go there quite nicely:

“The family – that dear octopus from whose tentacles we never quite escape,
nor, in our inmost hearts, ever quite wish to. “   ~ Dodie Smith

I spent the weekend without Internet access which, when I was a network marketer used to drive me nuts, but now I love it. Cash gifting makes the difference.

Because I no longer have to be constantly checking for email from MLM prospects and I no longer have to spend my weekends on the phone. I really dislike that aspect of network marketing. They frame it as a means to time freedom, but in truth you become a slave to the telephone and these days, email.

With this gifting program, people who are interested do sometimes contact me directly which is fine. But a beautiful aspect of it is that they can also email or call directly into the offices of the founder and get all of their questions answered that way. So you are never left waiting and wondering. It’s a service that’s unique to this program as far as I’ve found and free for all.

I logged a lot of reading time over the weekend and am currently on Chapter 17 of “Dragonfly in Amber” the second book in the “Outlander” series by Diana Gabaldon. I posted about why I’m reading it now and not in 1991 when it was originally published, here. Now that I’ve seen the original cover art, I know why I would have walked right past this book with nary a second glance. It is marketed like a romance novel and I was never one to read those. Yes, I just admitted I judge books by their covers, lol! I think lots of people do, or they wouldn’t matter, yes? Anyway, this author didn’t need me as a reader back then to become bestselling.

Along with my book addiction (see post I linked to above if this is news to you) I have another weakness and that is for first editions of the books I really love. I can’t bring myself to spend $49 plus for this one though because of the darn cover art…pathetic I know but what can I say? Maybe I’ll get over it eventually.

I also snagged a terrific salad dressing recipe over the weekend. It’s a maple balsamic and it’s super simple. I’m using the recipe card as a bookmark right now, so hang on a sec…OK, here we go…it’s 1/4 cup (real!) maple syrup, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon oil and salt + pepper to taste. Most awesome. You might want to double it.

Anyway, that’s what I’ve been up to. Hope you had a great weekend and if you’re ready to start with this no-fee cash gifting you can do so at my other website here, anytime: Cash Gifting Abundance.

Warmest,
Tracy
