What's New
10/21/08
The latest news is that I start a full time job with Verizon in November. Yeah,
I'm getting out in the "real world" again :) Hopefully this time I'll get it right!
The walls are closing in on me and I am actually looking forward to getting back to
work again. As my hermit days are coming to an end, I've been getting out every
weekend like a "normal" person and it has made a tremendous difference!
My online friends from "way back in the day" before JR died will be amazed that I am
driving around like I never stopped and even getting out driving at night . . . so
much progress that I've amazed myself! Let me be proof that you can do anything you
set your mind to do . . . it doesn't matter what it is!
My online stores are open and I'm still busy working on both stores. The blogs
are still being restructured and I started two Blogger blogs over again so I could
change the names.
Since I have been enjoying my container gardening, I started a series of posts in
my blog "My Florida Paradise" on Gardening with Container Plants . . . I'll be
updating with new articles soon. Check out my blog about gardening, nature, living
in Florida . . . click here.
The most exciting news for me is that I have FINALLY quit smoking and will celebrate
my two-year anniversary in November! You know, if I can do it, so can you!
If you are interested in kicking the habit, here is an excellent website:
I'm still in the process of fixing files as a result of switching web hosts and many of
my pages have not been online for quite some time. I have also been working on many other
pages. I confess, I caught the blogging bug . . . another computer addiction I've developed.
At the moment, I'm in the process of integrating my blogging endeavors since I have experimented
my blogs are scattered all over the internet. Now there is one central "home page" blog to manage
the rest of my blogs, websites and spaces on the internet. This has become an official obsession
and I'm working toward making this my profession.
DonitaWorld.com will be going through a major renovation throughout the website. With new
graphics software and a strong desire to go back to school and get certified for graphic arts,
this is always my test ground for anything new and experimental for me. Keep checking back
for many changes that I hope you will enjoy. I've gotten my hands on the Flash graphics
program and the series of Macromedia graphics and web design software, so here we go!
There are not enough hours in the day!!
