I Fell Into The Arms Of RFN~A Love Story!
I bet that title grabbed ya, huh? Expecting to hear something juicy? Well, it kind of is!
It has been a while since I have blogged, yet it has been ever constant on my mind. But, I have a valid excuse for my lack of blogging, as I have become involved with a Social Networking site, (and business site as well wrapped into one package). Something I never expected to do, but glad I did. It is really kind of a neat story, and I think in reality a karma story. I had been invited and joined a forum board called NiftyFifty, which was hosted by Freepowerboards. Anyway, freepowerboards gave an option to do an update with their boards, and Royal2gens who ran the board, updated it as most updates are a good thing, right? This update did not work out as hoped, and it really messed things up when it did so, as it took away several of the perks that all the members had enjoyed, and no one was very happy with the forum anymore. (It is back to normal now though) Anyway, Royal Mom (the one who started the forum board, and that is another story of her nick name) set off in her journey to find a place to make all her children members happy again.
Along her many travels, she came across Rotatrix Friends Network, and she was excited as she was able to place our forum there, plus had several of the benefits we loved in place, such as a gallery, games, chat, and the opportunity for us all to make a few bucks was a bonus. And like good little and anxious children, we tagged behind Royal Mom~aka Royal2gens and things started to happen in all our lives with new friends, new knowledge, new ideas, new fun, and even new money. (Their Matrix program is amazing!) I actually even got my husband Jim (better known as Darahred there), to join under me at Rotatrix (RFN for short), which is totally amazing. But, since Rotatrix Friends Network had so games to play (and he loves games), it was not that hard of a task to get him to join. I was amazed that he fell into more than just the game thing, yet understood at the same time as he made so many friends so fast. We both needed that! And what is also totally amazing, is when this little group of us joined less than 2 months ago, there were only 1800 members, and I am sure by the time this blog is read, it will be over 5,200, all pretty much done by just word of mouth alone. Word of mouth in excitement from people from all over the world.
The amazing news (ok, bragging a little here) is that since Jim, Royal Mom and myself have joined, we have gotten so involved with this Rotatrix Friends Network in its infancy of the ground floor, that our encouragement of it and excitement have in return, made us members of the Staff there. Royal Mom runs two excellent forums and she is in charge of parties (birthday, holidays, etc. and the new Halloween party is coming up in a few days) and also runs a social forum, which is so fun and a great get away for the members. Jim and I run the support and help forums there. (Which is kind of cool as we are linked on the top tool bar of the site.)
For those that know me well, know that I would never recommended a site unless I have checked it out very thorough. With that said, I truly believe that RFN (short for Rotatrix Friends Networking) will make Internet history in the very near future, and I will be blogging about it more to keep my readers updated. There is just so much to RFN that it is impossible to put it in one blog. (For that matter, two or three blogs.) The only thing I can really say is to check it out for yourself, and don't worry, it is free. While I joined and am there mostly for the social aspect of the network, it also has so many ways for the members to make money there, such as within profile pages, blogs, groups, events, etc.
Oh yea, I want to also mention one of my favorite members there, CatHead who does wonderful graphic comments and banners for RFN, and who worked with me tonight to make sure I got the links to work for my blog right, since I did not really know what I was doing. Thanks buddy!
If you get the chance, I do hope you will check the links out given to understand my Thoughts and Considerations concerning RFN as it might be your love story also.

Christmas Is Right Around The Corner! SANTA! SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS AWARD
September 29th, I got a comment from my good friend Michele from her wonderful blog Concerning the Spirit Of Christmas Award at Rocky Mountain Retreat. The award is a Santa Clause Reward pretty much, based on blogs that have touched the hearts of others, and one I humbly accept and am honored that she would think of me to give me this award. Remember all, Christmas is closer than we think, and the spirit of the holiday gives us much to think about.To know more about the award, click
This is what Santa himself says about this award:
Ho! Ho! Ho! Everyone
As we are now into the last 90 days before Christmas I am releasing my next group of the Christmas Spirit Award.
This award is for those who talk about and show the spirit of Christmas in their blogs.
What is the Spirit of Christmas you ask?
Quite simply it is those that have a generous and giving nature. Those who care about others. Those who have a kind word to say or a broad shoulder to lean on in the times that others need that. Those who display the "Spirit of Christmas".
This is the only award that I am releasing that you may pass on to others. I am giving it to five and you should too. Those that have touched your heart with their kind and giving and caring nature.
As always,
Santa ô¿ô
Choosing of who I think deserves this award in reality is not an easy task. I have so many online and blogger friends that are so kind and loving and go over and beyond with their friendship. With the decision not being easy, I still made my choices.
My first thoughts were to give this Santa Award to Margie, a new friend that I meet on Rotatrix Friends Networking. She and I have become good friends and have enjoyed and discussed our love of animals. She and I are even working on putting a website together concerning our love of animals and common relationships we have on our love of horses. Margie has definitely touched my heart and soul with her kind words, her caring and giving nature and her good advise. Thank you Margie. You deserve this award! Santa would be so proud of you! I am. You are now listed on my daily reads, as I think your words and efforts are important. Your words of My menagerie of Pets is a very important issue! Santa would be proud that this award was given to you!
I am also giving this award as Santa would want me to, to another friend from Rotatrix Friends Networking Community. TERRY, again I am honored to give this award to you! Terry's Blog Life Easy Shopping and Tips, is a wonderful blog where Terry tries with great efforts to share her secrets of tools in success in making money on the Internet. She is so honest and caring within her words displayed in her blog. She has become a great friend of mine and has helped me in so many ways. Thank you so much LIFEISEASY~TERRY, you really put an effort in the realization of what you are doing to help others. This blog and the ho ho ho of what Santa thinks, fits you so well. Santa would be proud of you!
Really important to me is Daria Black and her website (she has so many) but did want to point this one out as she has worked so hard on it, and is so determined for herself and what she tires to educate others on concerning Webernet Architect Design. Daria always finds ways to reach so many people with her words and her ideas, and her importance of her gifts that she hopes to share with others, always giving ideas and help to her readers which she gives with so much of her time in research that she freely gives and it really makes a difference to so many. (I also have a link to her other site in my side bar of my daily reads. If you click it, you will understand why!) Daria touches many souls and gives gifts without us even knowing it many times. Her gifts find ways into my dreams, or things to think about or ponder upon. Thanks so much Daria. Your friendship to me is so important. Santa would be proud of me giving this award to you!
I could never leave Ms. Karen out. I have known her since I first started blogging. She somehow found her way into my life, and I am so thankful for this. She has reached me in her humor that makes me remove my keyboard before reading some of her humorous blogs due to spitting what is ever in my mouth in efforts of saving my keyboard. She has also written about such serious and deep thinking things that I have to remove my keyboard again as I do not want my tears to mess up my keyboard. She has away that makes the humor so funny, yet so serious, and with other blogs of her, just so down right human for us all to think about. Santa would be proud that I gave this award to her.
And last, I give the award back to Michele to her blog Rocky Mountain Retreat, as she is one person that has touched my soul and heart in so many ways. She works so hard to place smiles on people and give information about so many things, and with saying this, I am talking about her ability to write, her ability in her art, her ability in placing smiles among so many. Continuing with this, I mean her personal, humor, educational she gives, and so much more. I really think Santa loves her a lot. I know I do!
Ending this, I know that times are busy right now, and the ones I have given the humble award I was given from Michele, they can do what they want with it. Times are busy right now with Thanksgiving and Christmas right around the corner, their jobs, their lives, their personal stresses in front of them. I do not want them to think this honor to them has to be passed on. My whole idea of writing this blog was to just point out to my readers of how wonderful these bloggers are. And how proud SANTA would be of them!
Hugs to all the bloggers mentioned above. All are deserving of such an award and so much more!
Katie
