I am a new Foreign Service spouse who is curretnly 8 months into my first posting in Wellington, NZ. I have owned my at home bus<a href="http://www.nursingcovershop.com/"></a>iness for 4 years and am overjoyed at the opportunity to continue working while overseas. I wasn't sure how I was going to continue my web based busines while in New Zealand but was delighted to find out that New Zealand has it's own version of Ebay here called Trade Me.<br />
<br />
I began listing my nursing covers within the first month of arriving. The concept is the same but the rules for paying traxes, etc are a bit different. You learn as you go. I have been lucky enough to find local supplies so I don't have to import fabric from the States. The fabric here is a bit more expensive but I am still able to make a profit. I still have my website and occasionally sell a few covers through it but I do have the added expense of international shipping which my clients so far, are willing to pay. I have also had many local sales through my USA based website which is a delight.<br />
<br />
I am not earning anywhere near what I was earning in the USA but it does help and I am still able to be home when the kids need me.<br />
<br />
<strong>Background:</strong><br />
<br />
My business is an online retail store specializing in covers for Nursing Mothers. I also sell matching accessories and wholesale to boutiques worldwide. I have @ 8 shops across the globe that sell my wares and a few more in the USA. While it may be difficult to continue direct consumer sales while in say...Zambia, I think I will still be able to supply my boutiques.<br />
If that doesn't work out I can always make curtains, sofa covers, dining chair covers, etc. for the FS housing :) <a href="http://www.nursingcovershop.com/">http://www.nursingcovershop.com/</a>Global Spousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03099388774943331109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951834947068615294.post-16207598538061818132010-08-22T17:43:00.002-04:002010-08-22T17:48:28.800-04:00JSM Career Coaching<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<br />
As for a career in the theater our shining example would be Joy Zinoman. While<br />
a trailing spouse in Malaysia in the '70s and raising 2 young children she<br />
became involved in directing at the university and brought the Malay theater<br />
into the 20th Century. She came home to complete a combined undergrad and<br />
graduate degree in theater and to found the Studio Theater, one of Washington's<br />
best. Joy retires this year and will be honored by DACOR with a dinner this<br />
Friday.<br />
On a less professional level my husband and I have either founded or been active<br />
in little theater groups in Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Ankara, Medan, Ulanbaatar and<br />
Naples, Italy. We found it a fun and enjoyable way to bring the English<br />
speaking community together.<br />

When I first started my Nursing Cover business, I started on eBay with immediate positive results. If you can navigate the web, create a cute signature page and put out a good product, you can be in business in a day.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Of course you have to set up the accounts, including a paypal or google pay accounts as well as your selling account and you have to take into consideration that you will have to pay eBay or Etsy to sell your stuff but it is fun, relatively inexpensive and can bring in some serious cash :)</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">To give you an example, in my first year of business, before having my own merchant website created, I sold on eBay and Etsy simultaneously. In a good month, I would sell @ $3500.00 worth of merahandise. Not bad for a few hours of work a day. Plus, for stay at home parents like myself, it gave me the freedom to be at every school evert and every soccer game.</div>Global Spousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03099388774943331109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951834947068615294.post-73409860575095077962010-03-24T19:37:00.003-04:002010-03-24T19:42:00.524-04:00Trailing Spouse Coach<div style="text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTA5sj03f0Dv8Naen_IQYEK23mwIqPzRdSBJVFrU2Yuglj_K9oL0pXgdnwJ4ZVgLB_awk3wmIKd_jqAG3GWB3J7L793zLVp_7TQL5PTvowakkoo8cB1XeDbzns8nJoPeci9loPY7E29N0/s1600/Trailing+Spouse+Coach.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="66" nt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTA5sj03f0Dv8Naen_IQYEK23mwIqPzRdSBJVFrU2Yuglj_K9oL0pXgdnwJ4ZVgLB_awk3wmIKd_jqAG3GWB3J7L793zLVp_7TQL5PTvowakkoo8cB1XeDbzns8nJoPeci9loPY7E29N0/s400/Trailing+Spouse+Coach.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Are you an expat living far from home? Are you a partner or are you married to someone who has a wonderful job overseas? Are you a parent of children living in a foreign country?

Are you trying to figure out just what it is YOU want to do? </div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">Making sense of questions like these can keep you awake night after night or you can find some help sorting them out with a coach. Coaches listen, make suggestions and help you find your own road. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><strong>What Is Life Coaching?</strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Life Coaching, unlike therapy or counseling, is a support system that offers a client a trusted partner for truthful dialogue and forward assistance to become who they want to be more quickly and with accountability for their actions. Coaches do not have the answers or fix the client! Coaches help clients find their own inner wisdom and expand their perspectives to guide their future. A coach helps you define your most important goals and challenges and assists you in meeting them. A coach is your trusted partner along this uncertain journey. Coaching is all about you.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><br />

Here is how I can help.<br />
You might be an overwhelmed small business owner or coach that wants solutions and strategies to create a business that supports your life, and a life that supports your business. I invite you to explore some options to make that happen.<br />
~or~<br />
You might be a busy Mom and/or professional who is feeling secretly stressed-out, like your superwoman powers are running on low. You want to experience more harmony, peace of mind, and energy in your busy life. Consider a solution that will work. For real. <br />
After ten years of corporate accounting and working for publicly traded companies in financial management, I left the workforce to get married, have children, and pursue work that was more meaningful and satisfying to me. As a long-time yogini and meditator, I became a certified yoga and meditation instructor to help people reduce stress, improve the quality of their lives, and stay connected to their natural inner resources. Working as a teacher led me to pursue coaching certification with Dr. Martha Beck, best known as Oprah’s life coach.<br />
I am passionate about helping women put into practice, flexible, personalized, solutions so they can meet with success in business - and in life. <br />

</div>As a wellness coach, registered nurse and survivor of two cancers, I am passionate about seeing others experience success in their fight against this disease. Are you eager to regain your health? Or know someone who is? I offer specialized coaching services to help people with cancer become survivors. These sessions are done by phone (via a U.S. number) from anywhere in the world so you get the full benefit without leaving the comfort of your home. <br />
As coach, I listen carefully, contribute observations and questions, assist my clients in developing action plans and marshalling resources, and support them through accountability and affirmation, in order to help them achieve their goals to get well and stay well. Typical areas of coaching for a person healing from cancer may be: determining what treatments and care givers to choose; how to handle work, family or finances while undergoing treatment; and establishing new habits that will lead to long-term wellness.<br />
You can experience for yourself the power of wellness coaching by booking your complimentary phone consultation now. You will leave this introductory session with a good idea of what your next step will be toward a Whole Life. Call or e-mail me for more information or to book your consultation.<br />
My blog at www.wholelifecancercoach.com provides additional resources and encouragement. <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We, like most, will be arriving at Falls Church Oakwood on about March 27th...just in time for the cherry blossom festival! I am currently accepting portrait commissions during the festival and beyond. What a wonderful memento to take with us to post and to remember the spark of these great lives we are embarking on with our families.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Grown in the rain of the Pacific Northwest among moss and rolling wheat fields I was schooled in the art of interior design. With an owl’s-eye for artistic detail and an aptness for all things creative, I’ve unleashed my talents upon the world of photography.</div>Recall your childhood. We all had one. Go ahead. I’ll wait. Filled with memories. Snippets. Some vivid. Others blurred. What do you remember? You remember your favorite tea set, but do you remember the pattern or which stuffed animals were invited to the party? Some memories constitute the most significant moments in life. Others are barely remembered. The swiftness and transience of life is what makes it so precious. I aim to capture these moments in a setting both familiar and real.<br />
Life is not stagnant. It moves. It jumps. It laughs and plays. A thousand things happen in the split second the shutter snaps. These are the moments I endeavor to capture. The quotidian pulse of life unraveling…unobtrusively and without apology.Global Spousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03099388774943331109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951834947068615294.post-49852578122674662142010-02-20T12:09:00.001-05:002010-02-21T08:54:17.373-05:00Tania Teschke PhotographyTania Teschke’s work has evolved over the past decade from travel photography to family and children’s portraits, weddings and events, and photo-documentary.

</div>Hi, I'm BH Neely. I specialize in clean, honest black & white photography. I try to avoid fashionable subjects and processing methods in my work, so that when you buy a piece, it will be as beautiful and fresh in 2050 as it is today. <br />
My current projects include:<br />
<br />
Adespota - My biggest challenge in photographing Greece's adespota (homeless dogs & cats) so far is that when I get down to their level, they run up to me to lick my camera. <br />
<br />
Aphrodite's Hair - Inspired by Botticelli's "Venus Rising" and the beautiful, thick hair of Greek women, "Aphrodite's Hair" is a series of black & white portraits in which I strive to capture the beauty and power of a woman and her hair. I'm currently seeking models 18 years and older for this project.<br />
