January 2, 2026 accountability post with everything woven together — gratitude, manifestation, Thred-Up, website, AI, new class, 10–20K /month companies, Year of the Horse. Today I woke up in absolute awe and gratitude. Over the last few days, I accomplished so many in-home and online projects — and many of them turned out to be quite profitable. The moment that humbled and amazed me most was finding a box I thought was garbage — only to discover priceless china and a coin collection inside. It felt like a manifestation of the $10,000 windfall I had been dreaming about, seeing in my mind, and believing for. I paused, thanked God, and recognized this as confirmation that alignment, faith, and action truly work. This morning, January 2, 2026, I woke up and immediately began working on the shoes I will be sending to Thred-Up. I am also continuing to work on my website, tightening up my systems and preparing for more consistent online income. This is the Year of the Horse for me — powerful, fast, focused forward motion. I am studying AI, looking at options, tools, and strategies, and I am enrolling in a class next week to start a new business. Ambitious, yes — but necessary. I feel called to build 10 companies each capable of generating $10,000–$20,000 per month, creating true freedom, overflow, and stability.

I signed up for a store evaluation by eBay. This took place a couple of weeks ago. I will share the results in some posts here. This will be done in a series of 6 posts following this one. You can follow the advice if you wish. For me and my son (who also runs an eBay operation) we have implemented these changes and the results have been immediate. I am seeing serious double digit increases in organic impressions, views and sales. My son is seeing triple and quadruple digit results. The areas of improvement discussed were: 1. Free shipping 2. Returns 3. Images 4. Buyer groups 5. Taking down and relisting items 6. Social media

This morning, I woke up grateful — deeply grateful for life, for strength, and for the incredible blessings unfolding in my family and my businesses. Today is CPR class day, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to refresh lifesaving skills. In two weeks, I’ll be starting my Saturday computer classes — continuing to learn, grow, and stay current. I am especially proud of my grandson. He will be returning to the Army Reserves to complete his initial tour. He is studying to become an anesthesiologist. When he was only eight years old, he built his first computer — and even then, he looked up which careers could produce a million-dollar salary. His vision, focus, and determination inspire me. I am grateful beyond words for my amazing children and grandchildren — and for my entire family. Their success, growth, resilience, and love remind me daily that God’s hand is on our lives. Daily Scriptures — in the same order as yesterday “Write the vision and make it plain…” — Habakkuk 2:2 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” — Philippians 4:13 “For I know the plans I have for you… plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” — Jeremiah 29:11 “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” — Hebrews 11:1 “Commit your work to the Lord, and He will establish your plans.” — Proverbs 16:3 “The Lord will perfect that which concerns me.” — Psalm 138:8 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” — Psalm 23:1 “Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9 “And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory.” — Philippians 4:19 Daily Meditation. — Focus, Calm, and Clarity. I take a deep breath in through my nose…Hold for three seconds…Then slowly exhale through my mouth. I repeat this three times. As I breathe, I release stress, distraction, and doubt — and I center myself in peace, clarity, and faith. I remind myself that my mind is powerful, my thoughts create my direction, and God is guiding every step I take. I sit quietly, visualize success, and feel gratitude for everything already unfolding.

I just started my eBay store subscription. Kept hitting obstacles and AI walked me through it. It then walked me through creating store categories, and created a store logo and billboard. I would go bonkers without it helping me. Thanks Jerry Wilson for teaching us about AI and how to use it.

.... to all my reselling friends here. May your holiday be bright and your New Years be safe and happy.
