Web Site Update, #Veterans' Pages

I keep over scheduling my days.  It's so bad that while I was outside with the dog today I heard the cat and realized I had left the window open.  Since he was staring at me I started to tell Cat Prince about what I had already accomplished before noon and what I needed to do before 5pm so I be on time for my 7pm appointment.  I told him that I should encourage Anna Dog along.  Prince replied, "Nooooooow!" So I'm taking his advice again and sharing this now.

I have added to the veteran pages of GHC.  I've tried to provide resources that I have screened and feel comfortable sharing without sending anybody down the wrong road.  As always, I encourage you to visit Semper Fi Fund.  I find that the positive attitude of the organization is contagious.

The positive, no BS attitude is something that I prefer.  Elting Morison wrote in Men, Machines and Modern Times that a desk and a telephone created a bureaucracy.  How true!  I guess it depends on who picks up the phone.

Anyway, GHC is moving into having four pages that provide information for veterans, Veterans, Veterans' Links, Veterans' Links Page 2 and Resume Help For New Job Seekers. Yes, New Job Seekers.  Maybe the page name isn't perfect but you want a new job and nobody offered a better name for it!

My newest discovery is this 2 minute video of one of Rocky Bleier's motivational speeches.  He was a hero in my home when I was a child.  All these years later and he still is. 

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Amazon #PrimeDay, July 15, 2015

Amazon is celebrating their 20th birthday by establishing Prime Day.  Customers have the opportunity to try out a new Amazon Prime membership for thirty days at no cost.

Amazon announced the special event on Monday, June 6, 2015 by stating  "Step aside Black Friday, meet Prime Day."  It is Christmas in July for everybody that uses their Prime membership, whether the membership is already paid for or being used on a trial basis.

I am pleased that my online friends can take advantage of the deals that will be offered.  The celebration starts at midnight on July 15, 2015 and deals are posted as often as every ten minutes throughout the day.

Yes!

Amazon welcomes you to sign up for the 30 day trial

 and cancel your membership!

I tried my membership out before I bought into it so why shouldn't you?!  When you sign up you will get immediate access to the Prime membership benefits.  

Expect to see a lot of tech and game deals, but Amazon assures us that there will be something for everyone which will include items for summer adventures, family road trips, back to school supplies and everyday essentials.  

Just like Black Friday you'll want to 

mark you calendar and set your budget for Prime Day.

Happy shopping!

Valhalla Ranch, Matt and Kristen

With Independence Day arriving my thoughts have been with Matt Littrell of The Long Trail Home. I still follow The Long Trail Home facebook page and keep up with Matt an his new wife, Kristen through social media. Matt and Kristen have been quite busy since they settled in their new home.

Horse Nation published a nice article in December of 2014 about Matt's journey.  

It will bring you up to date.  

Recognizing that the VA is backlogged and not properly staffed Matt started Valhalla Ranch as a retreat for veterans.  This retreat is everything dreams are made of including beautiful sunsets.  

Kristen established a gofundme page for Valhalla Ranch to help raise money to complete the ranch. Your donation would be greatly appreciated.  

If you find that you're questioning about donating directly to benefit Valhalla Ranch, please donate to the Semper Fi Fund.  Our veterans need our help to regain their independence.

Thank you.

Personal note: I first learned of Matt's mission in May of 2014.  

I just shake my head when I think of learning about him because I 

do not want to admit that I was the fool, but I was.

Seriously, I watch Cops but always know the answer 

before the criminal says a word!

(Reference my blog blog of August 2014.)

 In Matt's case, I am sure that if he had made the 

slightest wrong move I would have caught it.

I will forever call attention to the fact that

Matt Littrell continually exceeds my expectations.

I could not be more proud of the fact that 

Mr. and Mrs. Littrell are continue to focus on 

their mission to help veterans.

Amazon Is Getting Things Done

Amazon is now offering Home Service in major cities throughout the country!  This is an exciting opportunity for contractors to offer their professional services to customers.

You can apply to be a pro with Amazon but do keep in mind that their web site states that they "only invite pros who have a strong track record of service and quality".  

Let's face it, Amazon guarantees the work so they are not interested in

 offering services that will leave their customer unhappy.

Amazon also requires all pros to maintain necessary insurance and trade licenses.

I can see a lot of possibilities for small businesses to connect with larger companies and

construction companies to find excellent, skilled workers as sub-contractors. 

Win, win opportunities are the best!

You can apply to Amazon Home Services here.  

There are no up-front costs and no lead fees.

Since the professional services are only offered by invitation you can be sure 

you are competing with top-rated professionals in your area.
