Expenses and Encouragement from June

Wow, did I ever go over budget in June... (Grimace face).  Besides my one-time expense of an address stamp and rarely occuring expenses like envelopes, I spent $44.50 on forever stamps and $55.00 on some extra leads to do my own extra mailings.  I am doing them ten at a time, more or less, a few days a week.  Add to that my monthly fee of $49 and the WHOPPING $10 for my extra mailing through AMC (thank you THANK YOU Upliners Larry O, Heather B, and to AMC for pitching in!) and I spent just over $180 in June.  Yes.  $80 over budget!  That's 80 PERCENT over budget.

So for July I will only do extra mailings I can afford the stamps for... And since I already went to my upline for a second mailing, and have ONCE AGAIN received pledges for all but $10, I will go ahead and do that one.  If I didn't I would be throwing away $45! So I'll do the July mailing but I won't do one for August.

Of course income is still $0... have to be patient but that will change.  That will be a very exciting blog day, with a lot of exclamation marks! (And maybe a picture of a puppy.)

As for encouragement, see the first paragraph.  I have two Upliners who are willing to hand over cash so I can do more advertising!! How cool is that?! And not just those two people, but the company as well!  I am thrilled about that.  Obviously Larry and Heather get it, and the other two (the ones who haven't even responded to my requests or reminders) - well, they don't at the moment.  I really don't mind hearing "no," but just do not like being ignored.

And as someone that dislikes being ignored, it goes without saying that I love your comments! Feel free to add your thoughtful comments and questions.  Thank you, everyone!
