Ok, can someone help me out? How DO you post a blog on Pinterest. I've been fiddling with it for a couple of days, but I don't see how you can directly do that - anybody know. Either comment here - which would really be nice! Or email me privately at sheppardVA@gmail.com.
Thanks! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hope you've had a good weekend.

Pinterest - giving it some thought!
Huh! I just read about using Pinterest to post your blogs! I never thought of that. What a great idea!
So, I think I'll start doing that. I may post a few of the past ones, but will definitely do that for the future.
Sheppard Virtual Office is now Sheppard Diamond Virtual Office. If you read a couple of posts back, you will see the services that I offer.
You can reach me at sheppardVA@gmail.com, or Skye ID sheppardva698 or at +1-937-698-5508. I am in EST time and am available from 9 to 4 pm, Monday through Friday.
Now, back to transcribing. Have a great day!

Faith versus Fear
One of the things my Pastor has taught in a series on Faith, was that fear is the opposite of faith. Well now, how did I get to be this old, and not figured that out before? Anxiety is one of those things that has worn me down time and again - and the funny thing was - it never did a thing to improve my situation! Just wasted adrenalin!
So how does that apply to my business? Sometimes, I fear that I just won't get enough business. That's been pretty much unfounded. About the time things slow down, and I let that classic "Oh, now what am I going to do?" start again...the phone rings or the emails show up with more work to do. I do a good job at what I do, admit when I've goofed (sadly, I'm not perfect...are you???), and do what I can to make any needed corrections. People are happy with that, and they refer me to others - voila!! Work!
Other times I fear learning something new. Now, I'm not going to kid you. It is sometimes tough to learn new things. Sometimes, it's just not my cup 'o tea, and I have to admit defeat - but how would I know unless I tried? Having faith in myself, believing in the skills God has given me...venturing out of my safety zone, has allowed me to learn a WHOLE lot of new stuff.
Fear is wasted energy. I have to "preach" that at myself often, because it's really my first, instantaneous reaction to some things. Reminding myself that God is not the author of fear, that He's with me every step of the way, and that he equips me with intelligence, common sense, talent, and skills is little by little, putting fear out of my life - business included.
Are you practicing faith or living in fear?
“Faith isn’t the ability to believe long and far into the misty future. It’s simply taking God at His Word and taking the next step.” Joni Erickson Tada
Mark 4:26-27,28-29 – Faith is like a seed; plant it in your heart. God gives the harvest at the appointed time.
