Just Say Something..... :-)

One good deed goes a long way

A few weeks ago I ask my friends and Chop Cult followers to help out Hugh Owens, who dealt with his shop being destroyed by a flood. We have never met face to face but have known each other for numerous years. I helped him get his products in CS when I worked there and we have talked through Facebook from time to time. He always seemed like a true gentleman, not really in it for the glory and fame, just trying to provide for his family. When I heard of the flood, I reached out to him to see if I could help in any way. He was humbled to say the least but I knew if we set up a Go Fund Me account, we could raise a few hundreds dollars to help him out along the way. Well folks, you donated and raised over five thousand dollars, which provided assistance to Hugh's and his employees families during this ordeal.WELL DONE!

I didn't do this small action for the light to be on me, I did it to help others. This industry is inundated with the "look at me vs. look at them." When you hear someone is down on their luck, not because of human error, because fate has dealt them a shitty hand, we should pull together and help.

Keep it simple and count your blessings along the way. Hugh is a perfect example of this as he shut down the Go Fund Me account as soon as he got back on his feet. He also paid it forward to a fellow rider that was down on his luck. This proves that one good deed can create a movement for helping others.

You can see the whole build here. 

To all that donated , thank you and know that your kind donation helped not one but many!

Have a great day!

I'm hoping that one day hate will disappear and love will prevail.

Really?

The food vendors at the fair didn’t disappoint with their fried goodies. The thought of Fried Butter made me gag but I was curious how you would serve such a mess.

Deep fried Kool Aid, really????

Duane found something good, I went home hungry

So true

Time travel is possible

Big thanks to the Blogger issues, everything that I posted yesterday was wiped away. So here I sit re-posting Thursdays news.  No worries though, thanks to Windows Live Writer, it saves my post so I can get er done. Now off to Facebook to wipe the old non working posts away. After looking at the day, yesterday wasn’t that bad.

So know that it wasn’t something that you did, it was the free service that we use, can’t really bitch about free.

Taken care of our own…..

Millions of Americans are struggling with hunger.

Please give what you can

A moment of your time

I have received a few emails asking me why I don't just focus on the motorcycle industry on my blog. Why do I make it personal? My intentions for this blog was to talk about my life, events we hit, people I promote, friends and family that I love. I never stated at any given time that this was just about the industry. The Shiny Side is just where I like to be in life. That dark place scares that crap out of me.

I am honored that people follow my blog! I came into this industry asking folks to give my talented husband a try. I made a lot of friends that have my back, as I have theirs and you will see them here from time to time. I am very honored to promote my clients through Shiny Side Marketing and have great friends in the media world that help me attain the light that they need to sell their product. I try not to self-promote and gone to a ten step program that helped me stop showing sunflowers. You should of seen those emails, ha.

There must of been something that you liked that made you want to follow me? I am sorry if I let you down, was never my intention. My only intention for my blog was to be as real here as I am in person. If you feel that you are here for the wrong reason, please hit unfollow. I will be sad to see you go.

I have something on the horizon that I am so excited about! It is not motorcycle related at all but will fill your belly. That's right, before motorcycles I had a life in a kitchen. So please understand that you are following a cook that got a new job that she loves.

Thank for your time

peace and love

Looking out

Big thanks to California, every highway sign is telling you to watch out for bikes. I think with our lovely weather here, they should be up year round. Now if they could only put up one that reads stop reading, texting and putting on your makeup while riding our asses.
Thank you

Who knew that a craft passed on for three generations could have such a beautiful impact on my life?


Thank u!!!!!

Do you have a Chase bank account?

Attention friends.....if you are using Chase Bank, they have been hacked into. I have been receiving daily emails telling me to update my account info. The page looks legit  but thanks to my virus detection it's not. If you have  family members that use Chase  please warn them. It is hard enough to make money, don't let these jerks take it or your information. I contacted Chase and they would like you to forward them to abuse@chase.com.

Cleaning day

Just cleared out my folder that stores all of my web posting for the last three month’s. It had 928 post to delete. You see, I just don’t update for Cycle Source, the Limpnickie Lot and myself, I also help my clients with event posting, updates and so on. This is another service that I can provide for you. Think about it and then call me.
