Inbox Dollars
As unemployed I of course looking for the next thing to keep us afloat. I came across Inboxdollars which provides easy ways to earn money for taking surveys, tests, test downloads and clipping coupons.
After spending so much time to cut out the sites that continuously directs you to a partner sight to "get money quick" or "at home earnings" etc. I am excited to trim the fat from my searches and share them with my friends.
I will continuously update the beneficial "clicks" so others don't have to do the work that I've already done.
Cheers!

Certifications: Reasons, basics, purpose, does it pay off?
My first full week of joblessness. Well, jobless from my primary source of income. $2900/month income down the tube. As many would be in a panic state and being unemployed due to "cut backs" before, it seems all "same ole, same ole" again. Very familiar but not as intense emotions of "AUGH! How am I to make it?!". Luckily I do have a few low pay income coming in. Still, since most of my side gig is contract and sporadic, who knows if I can make that next credit card bill and still try and stay afloat on the bigger payments (i.e. mortgage, car, etc.).
I'm starting my Friday looking into community college and certifications in more of the popular software programs. First comes to mind Adobe (I use photo shop a lot :) ). Adobe Certification Review. I'm growing the giggly feeling of something good has got to come out of this. I'm looking through the ACE (Adobe Certified Expert) and ACA (Adobe Certified Associate) certification reviews. Okay, I think I can manage some reading and exams. As I'm multitasking, reading and gmail chatting with a friend, she mentions "how often have you used Adobe at your company?" I'm thinking well, I know there's a periodic update for some odd reason...though, I don't remember ever using it in my corporate employed life. Okay, got me. Microsoft it is!
Microsoft, household name. If you don't know Microsoft then you probably don't know what a computer is. Microsoft Certification is arguable the most prestigious certification there is. Again, who doesn't know Microsoft?! Corporate world lives and breaths it!
So, here starts another journey of 2011. Educating and investigating the purpose and pay out of getting certified into the market of Microsoft programs. Microsoft Overview of Ceritifcation

New Year, New Beginning, New Adventure
This year is the start of my birth family search. From an orphanage in South Korea to the great chill of Minnesota I became who I am today. Though as blessed my life has been since my beginning here in the US; I still wonder who I was and where I came from.
So starts my journey to discovery. To not discover who I am, but who I was. I do not search for answers of "why". Why was I given up for adoption or why my life was chosen to be blessed beyond others. I search of who I was, where I came from, and who do I thank for a new beginning at life that could have tragically ended if I staid where I once belonged.
Since my participation at the "Passport to Korea" event held at the Mall of America supported by NoPak Organization, I have grown this desire to return to where I once came from. To discover what I have missed all these years growing up as a Midwest Minnesotan. To encounter what I would have lived by if I staid with my culture and my heritage. To learn about the food, the customs, the history and the society that once was to reach what it now is.
Growing up as a Midwest farm girl I did not grow up with the traditions of my culture. I grew up like a normal "All American" cowgirl. With my trusty steed...aka Champy the mutt and my ponies out back. I did not grow up with bulgogi or kimchi. I had steak and potatoes often and the all mighty meatloaf. Now I desire to get back to my roots and experience like a tourist in my own, once was, back yard.
This year is the year I find my inner child and get back to where I once belonged. I anticipate the story line that will develop and the experiences I will gain along the way. Documentation is in my blood along with doing some killer manicures with designer nails.
With the help of www.KoreanBridge.org founded by Mr. Jon Huston, my desire to find what once was is on the road to reality. Ready to blow this popsicle stand to travel some muddy, rocky, roads...so I envision.
