Nikki's Thoughts ...


My thoughts are all over the place and I can't help, but think I'm being called back to blogging. I did it when the kids were younger and enjoyed the interaction. I meant many wonderful people many of whom I'm still friends with and will be for the unforeseeable future. 

This blog is going to be shaken up some. Sure it will still include some homeschooling, but not as much seeing both the kids are high school graduates now. Yes, that's right Webprincess and Superstar are adults now, 19 and 20! Wow, in my early years of blogging they were just kids, 7/8. Seeing they are adults now there social media nicknames have changed. Superstar is now Chef and Webprincess is now Cadet, but Cadet is probably not fitting, seeing she's no longer active in CAP (Civil Air Patrol), maybe I should nickname her Artist. She spends her free time drawing and her art is impressive.

Superstar is Chef - well because he's a Chef now! He's nearly graduated from a local technical college's culinary program. He has one class left, a CPR-Fire Safety Class. He didn't know that was a fall-only class; if he did he would have taken it Fall 2020 and be officially done, now.  Seeing he's only 1 credit short the school did let him walk with the rest of the class a few weeks ago. So we have celebrated his graduation all ready -- it just will be official Dec 2020. 

He's working, part-time -- hoping to be full-time as covid restrictions continue to lift and business picks up. Not as high of pay as I would like to see him get, but you have to start somewhere. He's happy where he's at because he's cooking the type of food he loves to cook and the executive chef is actually letting him cook, teaching him, even more, techniques and methods, and new foods. For example this week he's working with pork belly, something he has never done before, and last month octopus. 

Artist is working nearly full time at the local McD. She hasn't decided what she really wants to do, so she's just working and trying to figure out what she wants from life. We are equally proud of her. She's come a long way having to deal with anxiety and other mental health issues. For her privacy, I won't say more -- but mental health is a real thing and my heart goes out to all those that have to deal with mental health issues. Don't let anyone ever tell you it's not a "real" illness. 

For myself: I have been working on developing my own business as a virtual assistant: Assistance by Nichole and selling coffee and tea's via Java Momma at Nikki's Coffee Klatch. I have been thinking about blogging for both business ventures, besides just sharing my thoughts in general about homeschooling. I thought about doing a full new blog, but in truth, I didn't want that. And as I thought about it more I realize I could use this space to really just share my thoughts! After all, it's "Nikki's Thoughts On".

I can share thoughts on coffee drinks, teas, recipes on things I have been trying over the years -- because besides the business and coffee -- I need and have been working on my own mental and physical health. I can use this space to share tips and other things about online security, email tips, etc. Plus it can still be a place for me to share about homeschooling, parenting, bragging about my young adult children, etc.

I know I have written many similar posts and just disappeared again into the shadows, but this time just feels different -- especially seeing I want to build a network and build it also off of social media -- I still have the social media channels -- but I want to go back to where it all started for me and that's on blogging, journaling and just sharing my thoughts and what's going on here.

So if you want to follow/like some of my personal channels here is a list.

Now admittedly I use some social media channels more so than others. Some I hardly post at all on, but I'm there so if you want to connect with me on any of the above channels you are welcome to do so! You will notice a couple of them I listed under multiple headings. -- many of Nikki's Thoughts On channels are just personal too, because well this is a personal blog: it's my thoughts. A couple of them like LinkedIn is under both Assistance by Nichole and Personal, because it's both.

Anyways, that's all my thoughts for now. Thanks for being here! Reading, commenting, and liking/following the social media channels listed above.
