  • My junk is someone else’s treasure

    My junk is someone else’s treasure

    Hello.

    I have been selling random items on eBay. I’m earning money as if I was entry level because I just started in July. My weekends seem to be my biggest so far. I do notice increase in packages senting out compare to my first weekend. I am now sending out at least 5 packages. Today, I’ll be sending out two – Care bear lunch box and a cross body ” Attack on Titan ” bag.

    Everyday, I’m listing new items (try to) on different things that I’ve picked up from yard sales, estate sales, auction website that are for my local and of course, whatever I have laying around. Our junk to someone else’s treasure.

    Any questions about my reselling, I’ll be happy to answer … or try to.

     

     

  • Rambling Post

    Rambling Post

    As I sit at the dining-room table, the chair keeps sealing my leg’s skin to the chair because of how hot outside is right now. The temp is 84 degrees. No wind from seeing the trees through my slide-door. I hear fans going and my 14 years old son chatting with someone over his x-box 1s through his headphone. My son likes to play Rocket League and I must be honest, he is pretty good whenever I glace over to watch him playing.

    Many thoughts have ran through and quite honestly, I do not know what to start with this post. I guess this would be a rambling post… I am feeling upset, depressed, unhappy, disappointed and feeling defeated. I joined Origami Owl in August, 2018 with excitement of starting new chapter in my life. I needed to find a way to earn some income to bring to home. I will say that it has been amazing journey and experience that I have with Origami Owl. It is my first job in over 15 years of not working at any jobs.

    Origami Owl is jewelry that sells beautiful lockets that holds your story inside. You gets to pick your own charms that symbolize you or your story. Then the locket gets to explain your overall of who you are. Simple chain or crazy chain to symbolize however you want it to symbolize that for. I almost never wear jewelry myself but with Origami Owl, it changes everything how I see in jewelry. I now pay more attention to details. I now try to figure out people’s story or their reasons to have this piece for that day. Not only that, it have helped me build relationship with other people or newer people. Without Origami Owl, I would not have build those relationship with these people so I’m forever grateful that they put me into un-comfort zone and a learning experience.  I would love to continue.

    I am now considering leaving which is why my feelings are what I’m feeling right now. I actually am not making money. I feel that I am not helping with the income because I’m going opposite direction with money.  I do felt un-supported by several people. Maybe its my wording issue. I really do lack social skill and I have known this for a while now. I do know for the fact that there are many factors played into this.

    Speaking of Harry Potter – There will be new Harry Potter collection coming out soon.

    Anyway … I DO feel that I let my husband down. My husband is very unhappy with his current job. He is starting new job on July 7th and we’re getting huge cut in our income. My hope for my husband is to be happier at the new place even though he will be driving a bit more than a hour drive.

    I do hope to come back more often and do my original plan with this site. This August, 2019 will be my year with Origami Owl… if I get this far.

     

  • Six Flags

    Six Flags

    Blue Jeans with some gems designed on back pockets. Red top with some baseball team on it. Brown with a bit of grey hair and it is very short. White skin. Blue eyes. Black rimmed glasses. Hearing aids with white mold. Not sure what appeared on my emotion face so I’ll leave that for your imagination.

    I was people watching while my husband, and my two teens who brought a friend each.  They’re in line for Superman ride, one of my favorite rollercoasters. I decided that I wasn’t going to ride due to my painful shoulder to neck pain. I’m like a little kid when rollercoasters are nearby. Because of the pain, I had to sit where there was bunch of outside tables and chairs for people to sit down to eat or any other reasons that it may be. I was taken in a completely different world … different view. I am at awe at just reading people or the possible thoughts that I tried to analyze my own thoughts as I tried to read.

    There was ladies, men, children and whatever in-between. I saw gay/lesbian couples, straight couples, singles, dating and what not. I even saw families. Black, white, and whatever your skin color it may be. Honestly, none of those matters. I really don’t care if your skin is purple, green, orange because you all bleed red unless there are some medical then that color too. I also saw a whole a lot of different emotions that have appear in everyone’s faces from happy, sad, angry, and even seem like they’re being haunted by something past or current experience.  I even saw some mentally challenge and even physically challenge too. Thin, average and overweight as well though-out the genders and skin colors. I saw black people’s family. I even saw white people’s family. I saw both the same. Loving their partner and their little ones. I actually read some people who are very insecure with themselves. I saw tattoos – some were really rad, in my opinion. I do not own any tats personally and I have been wanting to get one or two myself. There were tall people, and short people. Deaf and Hearing people. Cops or Security were even there.

    I saw a child walking ahead of the family and I even wondered if that child was feeling an outsider.

    There was a person who seem to have some issue. If I heard this person correctly ” I’m not feeling well ” and started some fights with the another person. I do know that the another person have said something because of how the person behaved.  I heard nothing. They were causing some drama but they walked into some restaurant. I actually felt bad for the person who said not feeling well.

    We were walking passing all these people without a fight. We came to one reason – Six Flags. How much we enjoyed rollercoasters and a whole bunch different rides / events that took place in Six Flags. All different backgrounds.  All different trama. All different experiences. Different cultures. Why this can’t happen outside of Six Flags into the cities ?   There WAS cops!!  There was ALL skin colors walking among each other.  I didn’t see any crime took place. Only ” crime ” I saw was people being lazy to get up and walk to the trash can to throw out junks.

    There was no killing. There was no rape. There was no shooting. There was no physically fights. There was no name-calling to my knowledge.

    We may disagree and that is okay. We have the rights to our opinions and thoughts the way we did.  Its okay to discuss. We shouldn’t force it in anyone’s throat with your opinion or thoughts. I do know without a doubt in my mind, every human crave good feeling.  It really starts with you. Yes, I know your battling with your own past and/or medical reasons. I saw some insiring people who are losing their life and they remained the good attitude. Even though, they’re not at home spending time with their family and friends for Christmas and/or any holidays along with birthdays.

    EVERY human I see that walk pass me are truly beautiful.

    You ARE beautiful.  Be You. Be Weird.

    Hey…  what or who is normal anyway ?

  • The Journey Begins

    The Journey Begins

    Today marks July 30, 2018. This is marking my first step into my dream. I have so many negative feelings right now but all at the same time, I have glimpse of good emotions.

    My name is Amanda. I have husband, children and a cat. I truly love being a Mom to my beautiful children. I located somewhere in the east of USA. I am proud Deaf woman.  I have several hobbies such as craft, cooking, garden and more.

    The goal and my hope is that I help so many Deaf people in the community and anyone outside of that community to come together united and go upward by saving money. My hope that you can find new things to learn about yourself.

    There will be NO tolerate of bully in any kind on my website.  Everyone is different. Not everyone was raised the same way. What I want from you is to respect yourself and others. Have a open mind and if you could, please try to open your heart.  You are you, after all. You ARE special in your own way. Maybe you can teach us a thing or two.

    Thanks for joining me!
