Merry Meet,
I too am glad to slow down a bit…it has been several months
since I could breathe…I am happy you had time to come and spend with me…I know
I have been locked away for a while but, look at all that is going on…
The big news is school…I have passed my dissertation
defense…my dissertation is currently at the editor – then to the publisher…I
will walk for my graduation in January…people have started calling me doctor, I
am not used to it and still looking around to see who they are talking
to…lol…my final choice in dissertation subject matter was supply chain
strategy…it was a load of work and I am proud of it…
American Boudica has started the creative wheels rolling
again…this is reflected in our web-store…we are getting the Boudica series ready
for a new installment…along with Girly Pirate brand, we have now started the
Sea Tribe brand…we welcomed new coworkers Gunny and Alex to the merry mayhem
Chris and I have created…as a brand American Boudica uses everyday people to
model our clothes, not models – this way you can see it on different shapes and
sizes…BTW our models take the pics so, you can note different areas too…our
products are born out of a sense of adventure and a need for quality…some items
are produced in our offices and we also work with vendors from around the globe,
providing they meet our quality and cost standards…I do not put them online
unless we have them in-hand…if you need a larger order or see something you
want you see in one of our adverts, just message me and we will do our best to
take care of you…
Natures Power and Energy is in the final weeks of grant
paperwork…I thought for a while that I would not have time to put it together
but, they were nice enough to grant me an extension on the work I had already
completed…my construction crew has mastered solar and the new office has not
had a failure yet…honestly, inventing is harder than pregnancy…hurry up and
wait…tons of paperwork and lots of sales…it feels as though you sell yourself
more than the product…I think I can fine tune the HydroQueen and the fire
system has gone through a mock trial on a computer…the Facebook page promotes a
sustainable view, we do this so people can be educated and feel comfortable in
the sustainable concepts and thinking…
It is with a heavy heart that I am closing Rooney Detail…it
was fun and gave me the ability to make money while I was in school…I loved the
ability to work on some awesome cars and for some great clients…now that school
is over, I have the time and energy to focus my efforts on my 2 primary
businesses – this is the reason, I choose to close…I am keeping the equipment
to continue working on my own cars:)
The Sunshine Paddle has been busy making donations…cash was
taken to the abuse shelter and the food bank from donations…collected cardboard
in the children’s recycle dumpster…the Photobucket and website has been paid
through donation…a goods drive allowed us to drop a truck of household goods at
the abuse shelter thrift shop…it is a great blessing to help the community…
In the circle of Boudica we celebrated Litha with great
abundance…the veggie garden has fed us well…the grass is growing, flowers are
blooming…and peace has been given…life is good…if you can not see the beauty of
life around you, maybe it is time to change your perspective…
I was gifted with my grandson for 7 months…his dad was at college
and mom was in officer candidate school – them doing wonderful things gave me
time to spoil him…from a great school to awesome adventures, he made life fun…he
has gone back to his parents and I miss him very much but, I am glad he is in a
happy place and doing well…and I just have to say – OMG, the life of a 5 year
old is busy…
The gardens are a riot of color…it feels good to start
cleaning up the yard, it will take a few months to get it back under control…poor
Walter has had to help in the hundred-degree heat…if he had his way, we would
have a concrete yard…lol
I have started teaching English to children and adults in
China online for a company called First Future…I am just starting so, it is
kind of crazy hours – it does however, give me time to work on my own companies…the
students make it really fun and the pay is better than pizza delivery…yes,
never a dull moment here…
So happy you had time to catch up and hang out...
Blessed Be,
Dr. Dorraine Cooper-Rooney
Your Girly Pirate
