I have a Bouquet of Enterprises to tell you about.

I've always had a runaway imagination, and years ago I dreamed that I'd marry a fine, intelligent gentleman who would make all these ideas for small businesses come true. Well, God brought me home to look after my aged parents, and took time to mature me, and show me that I could do them myself!

It's been slow going because I've started on a zero budget. Mom passed away nine years ago, and I was Dad's live-in caregiver with free room and board as my compensation until his death in February 2007. I've spent the last nine years online from Dad's living room and my learning curve has been steep! I feel like I've been to university a couple of times!

But now I am living in a wee little house of my own, and having to support myself.

From all the FREE information out there on the net, I've taught myself web design, have published my novel by POD (still in the marketing stage now), and have made a number of good friends around the world, especially through my novel-site, Ruthes-SecretRoses and my bi-weekly ezine, RoseBouquet. My novel and that site often refer to my friends as roses in my garden of friendship. All the while I've tried out a number of free income programs, and discarded a lot of them as I've become more discerning.

Now the forms are working on my new genealogy web site, A Godly Inheritance and sometimes people are contacting me, so I hope those GEDCOMs and family history eBooks will be as popular in sales as the topic generally is on the net now.

Just last summer (2006) I became a host for web sites, under Azaleas Virtual Assistants - Hosting. At the moment I'm super busy handling a December flood of new clients!

I've registered my main business, Bouquet of Enterprises, with my home province, Saskatchewan, in Canada, and also the subsiduary publishing business (for my own books only), that I call The Lord's Morning Glory Publishing House. I have ideas for a number more, which I'll name for flowers too, but there are steps in my long-range strategy that have to be covered first.

I've already got very full days, but I usually stop to help someone who asks for it.
