As you can see, it’s been some time since I’ve posted. What I want to do is bring you up to date with what’s happening with me. Back in July, I began volunteer work at Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton. It’s once a week, originally schedule to visit patients for 3-4 hours on Tuesdays but in reality, I haven’t spent one Tuesday–less than 8 hours.

My mentor once told me that time is your most precious inventory and I believe him. Because you can’t give any better gift to someone else, than your time. I can’t tell you how this has enriched my life.

While most are still wrapped up on whether we’re still in a recession or not, I’ve been pleasantly distracted by spending time with patients and families who may not have much time left.

Oh, I’ve managed to make a few sales and as my schedule smooths out some, I’m hoping to earn more business in the near future.

BTW, there’s a new business in the town of Poulsbo. Actually he’s just moved his his store from Silverdale. The company is EmbroidMe and the owners name is Peter Newkirk. I spent the morning talking to him about having some shirts embroidered. He’s a great guy and competitive. He’s located at:

20714 State Hwy 305 Suite 1F, Poulsbo WA. 98370

(360) 598-6250

You can tell him I sent you.

Trying to get back into the grove of writing again so I thought I’d start off with what I did today. I met with some nice folks at the Bremerton Chamber of Commerce for breakfast sponsored by Land Title Company and to hear from the Research Librarian Peggy Branaman. It was an informative session concerning 2 new resources available to card holders for the Kitsap Regional Library.

Research databases are helpful to anyone with a business.

You can reach these databases by going to Kitsap Country Regional Library Web Site and clicking on KRL Resources, then Research and More.

Enjoy!
