A few days ago I was venting a bit and asking Why Does It Have to Be So Hard? I complained a bit and even asked for some suggestions to help keep on track. Thanks to those of you that emailed me your words of encouragement - I really appreciated it!

I ended up coming up with my own solution - and I’m happy to say it worked pretty darn well! Wanna know the secret? I’ll be happy to share it … for nothing even, lol! I’ll share this one little secret that got me through what turned out to be nothing more than a little bit of writer’s block, wouldn’t you know?

This technique was so unbelievably SIMPLE and I was able to turn my entire day around!! I will be doing this many times again - every single time I’m having any difficulties keeping on track! - Anita DeFrank

The best thing about this little technique for me was that I was able to put all my thoughts into full, easy-to-read sentences. The words had come to me so easily that I actually came up with too much information. I now get to take one page and turn it into THREE different pages!

Using this one special technique is 100% guaranteed to:

Invigorate & Refresh You!

Help you organize your thoughts making it easier to put into words!

Clear Your Mind!

Be so simple, you’ve never done nor will you ever do anything so simple!

Not require ANY Experience!!

Be a 100% F-R-E-E Technique!

Easy to Use Over and Over and Over Again and Again and Again!

Be Able to Accomplish - No Matter Where You Are!

Be Able to do at 3:00 PM or 3:00AM - ANYTIME!

Anybody Can Do It - Even an 18 Month Old Baby can do half of it (Mine has!)!

I’d offer you a Lifetime, No Questions Asked Full Money Back Guarantee but since it’s free - I can’t.

I know what you’re thinking … “Okay Anita, I’m biting at the bit - and can’t wait to hear it! Tell me already!!”

Alrighty, I’ll tell you but, for me to tell you … you have to promise if you ever see a fellow wahm, a fellow marketer or just a good ole friend struggling … you have to promise you’ll share this one little technique with them.

How?

Simple, I’m not only giving you this little secret absolutely F*R*E*E* - I’m also giving you FULL MASTER RESELL RIGHTS!

But wait! There’s More!!

You also have F_R_E_E PLR Rights! That’s right - You can take full credit for this fabulous tip!!

Okay … I’m done now … here you go:

This is so simple it only takes 2 Super Easy Steps

Step One: Save whatever you’re working on.
Step Two: Turn off the computer and come back no sooner than one hour!

Enjoy your day!

And remember …

You heard it here first!

Congratulations Ladies!

I’m a little ashamed to say that I didn’t even know this day existed! But I think it’s important that we celebrate it.

(An excerpt from Lisa Barker’s book Just Because Your Kids Drive You
Insane…Doesn’t Mean You Are A Bad Parent!)

I rarely take my kids on a clothes-shopping expedition–unless it’s for
the child in tow and all the rest are at home. This means I have a 90%
record in my favor of happy, well-behaved kids when shopping for
clothes.

Unlike me when I was a child, my kids aren’t running through the aisles
or hiding themselves in the middle of a circular rack.  I have kids
who actually look forward to clothes shopping.

That is, until today.

I haven’t been shopping seriously for clothes for myself since my twins
(now eleven) were about the age of their youngest sister who’s now
three.  That was back in the days when just about the time I was
completely down to my underwear one or both of the twins would whip open the
curtain of the changing room, much to my chagrin and the surprise of all
the other customers in the vicinity.

So, eight years later, I’m a little wiser and really desperate.  I tuck
the two little ones in the double stroller and embark on my daring
mission to seek clothes for my new body that, after five kids, is a new
body.

Well, we’re at my favorite store—the one where I mooned everyone
eight years ago. I’m relatively sure that no one remembers me.  I riffle
through the racks like a clerk at the post office sorting mail.  Yep,
nope, maybe, nope, nope, YES!

Once I accumulate a load of ‘yesses’, I pile them on the stroller and
park the kids just out of arm’s reach of the dressing curtain. I’m fast,
I’m greased lightening and I’m in and out of outfits so fast I’m
busting a sweat. And then it starts.

At first it sounded like the low growl of a finely tuned Chevy. But it
begins to build and crescendo with vehemence. I peek out of the curtain
just in time to see the sweet blonde head of my three-year old rotate
360 degrees. Her eyes cross, that deep guttural growl sounds again and
then—yikes!  I duck back in the dressing room before the pea soup can
hit my new skirt.

The three-year old tries to take her two-year old brother’s head off
(she sits behind him in the stroller) while he simultaneously attempts to
reach back to scalp her.

Okay. Time to go. Wait—just one more thing!

“BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

“Snorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre.”

One is possessed. One is out cold.

We check out. It’ll be months before these two won’t shriek when they
see a rack of clothes.

But hey, good news! One skirt was half off…and the toys were free!
