Here is MONICA'S bio;
I was born and raised in Laurel, Ms. I would say that I had a normal childhood. As an only child in my household, I learned very quickly from my parents who never baby talked me. My favorite past times were writing poetry, piano lessons and attending karate (Shotokan) classes. I remained honor-roll student until I reached 7th grade, and became more intersted in boys than in school. lol
At age 14, we moved to Natchez, Ms. This is where I attended high school and received my high school diploma. My teenage years, I probably nearly drove my parents insane. I definitely went through a wild spell of drinking and partying.
At age 18, I fell in love and got married. He was a U.S. Navy man, stationed at NSA PSD in New Orleans, La. My life seemed complete and perfect with him. After a year and a half of living in military housing in New Orleans, he was finally discharged. It was nice to go back to Natchez, Ms. We were together 3 years, and I was 6 months pregnant with our son when the marriage fell apart.
Fast forward a bit to age 26. I remarried -- to an old friend of the family. Once again my life became complete. We've had 2 more beautiful children, a boy and a girl, ages 4 and 2. (My oldest is soon to be 12)
Last year I attended H&R Block Income Tax Courses, studied like crazy and worked my way up to a Tax Specialist II. The District Manager of our area was so impressed that she gave me 2 offices locally to manage. While my family did support me, my husband really did not like the idea of me being away from home 10-12 hours a day. So before the tax season was even over with, he was building me my own office here on our land. So needless to say, from now on I will working from home :)
In between tax seasons I needed something to do. Bj (my mother) got me addicted to the internet. Before she got me addicted, I only used my laptop for work purposes... lol
And I started building my downline in it pretty fast. But what I realized with advertising the program, is that most of the places online charge too much for advertising. So that's when I came up with the idea for Pay-Dough. http://www.pay-dough.com
However, I knew that I could not do it alone, and I asked Bj to help me. Thank Goodness she agreed :)
She was already a member of Adland, and I had joined Adland under her, but I was not active. Since becoming active, I have really enjoyed it. There are alot of truly amazing people here and I've made several very good friends.
I also want to add.. that I, like most other people, have had my share of troubles and problems. But GOD has helped me every step of the way. I would not be here if it were not for Him. I love God, and I live my life for Him. Also, I do not believe in dwelling on the negative, or things that we have no control over. I believe that we should live our life to the fullest and leave the rest to God.
