GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL - Side Hustles

When I woke up this morning I had two things on my mind. These two thoughts were gratefulness and thankfulness.

Often we don’t think about the differences between these two words, but they are quite different. Gratefulness is a state of being content in whatever situation one may have been placed. Thankfulness is giving thanks for the physical things you have. This is how I see these two words and think of them.

When I left teaching high school to go down to elementary school last December I chose to take a large pay-cut. As a single income mom, that was a sacrifice that I made while stepping out on faith. I did not have any set plans at that point to supplement my income. I just knew that if this was the way God was leading me, then He would make a way to afford it. I also knew that God did not expect me to sit there helpless, but rather to “put feet to my prayers”. So, I decided to start researching for online opportunities to make money from home. As it turns out, I found several to start with….after avoiding ads about playing games on my phone to win money…and testing out different “make money” tik-tok videos. So, I made a series of honest reviews on TT for those which you can view by clicking on my social links.

The one I like the most is the English learning website “Cambly”. This one side-hustle by itself is enough to replace the pay-cut I took. Which meant I could spend less time on several side-hustles and budget time on this one. Here is a link for those of you who want to get started tutoring now. I get to meet the most interesting people. I teach both children and adults on my own set schedule. I am currently working on a few more side hustles and once they're profitable, I'll post about them. I want to be able to list all of the necessary steps to help my fellow side hustlers be successful. That's all for today!
