starting small...

I have never started a business before. My friends were not that supportive specially my parents.

This time I got my courage from my kids. They made me feel that they need me.

To earn some money (even if it's not that big) I started recycling. I love recycling because it lessens trash. It may require a little effort but heck I'm earning from it. And the money I earn I give it to Ate Faye. Last time she went to the recycling area near our place she earned 75 pesos. Money enough to buy her load and merienda. Not bad right?

Now, I have a soap business. I earn a little but I am enjoying it. And the good thing is I am helping the less fortunate people by selling it cheap. They can raise their eyebrows for all they want. The important things is I am earning in a decent way. It may not give me big bucks but it can pay our water bill. Every time I make it I pour love into it and a little prayer that whoever uses it may have a prosperous and healthy life. Not a chant and definitely not potion hahaha!

And the other business that I have is the business that I am very passionate about. It's our chocolate fondue business called Sweetdefinitions. It's near what I have learned in school. It brings out my talent in table design. It makes my mind think all the time. That's why I love it.

These businesses still gives me time for my family. And maybe someday, this will help us in achieving our goals.
