ThoughtsFromParis Is Officially In The Black!

I am absolutely not joking when I write that I had to Google “in the black” to confirm that the meaning of that idiom is “making money.”

I thought it might be “in the red” or for some reason, “in the pink.”

Well, anyway, I’m very proud and humbled to say that thanks to you readers, after expenses (hosting/bandwidth), this website has clocked it’s first $25 profit.

While not enough yet to support the mortgage or my American Girl Doll obsession, it’s a start.  And, as I was thinking about it this afternoon, what is most exciting for me is that I’m being paid (albeit a little amount) to be myself.

This one walks around the house in the middle of the night. I think she's trying to kill me.

If this site can continue to grow, great.  If all I ever earn is $25 a month, so be it.  I’ll buy something on Amazon to earn free shipping.

And hopefully you don’t think it’s a blowhard move to brag about making a few bucks.  I’m just so grateful to you for reading because you have made it all possible.

Please visit my sponsors (two more to be added in the next few days), and click on their links.  Show them some love, since they’re doing the same for me.  They’re over there on the right, down the page.

Thank you for giving me hope that being myself could lead to fame, fortune, and riches.  Then I can leave you behind and hang out with celebrities, who we all know are better than the rest of us.

Seriously, thanks.  You’re amazing fans.  Means the world to me.
