Work at Home Grandmothers

One of the things that all people who work from home, okay, maybe not all, but many who work from home struggle with is getting side-tracked, distracted by other things.  No one is standing over you telling you what to do, and it’s easy to get up and do a chore that needs being done around the house, answer that phone call and say “yes” when asked if you want to go out shopping with a friend, and any number of distractions.

But sometimes a good things comes along that takes time, but for a good cause.  Just such a distraction came my way after the earthquake in Haiti.  Rather than focusing on my blogs and income based items, I decided to write a “lens” on Squidoo called Natural Disaster Relief - What Can I Do?  I was then asked by one of the organizers on Squidoo to do another that would be a place where people could add their lenses (that’s what they call a one-page site on Squidoo) that are set for 100% charity, with the funds going to Hope for Haiti.  Usually on Squidoo the writer, someone like myself, receives a percentage of the things that sell when someone buys through my lens, but in this case, it all goes to Hope for Haiti.  Take a look at RocketMoms Help for Haiti to see what I’m talking about, at this typing, over 80 lenses have been added to support the people of Haiti.  This requires a little bit of managing on my part, a little time, but time well spent….I’m not making money doing this, but feel blessed and gratified to be helping in some way, especially since I don’t have a lot of money to give.
