I know i’ve mentioned selfish people before… and mentioned horrid phone calls before.. but i wanted to mention Joel Osteen’s sermon today… about using words to encourage people.. using words to compliment people… and using words to make a person feel better… to change their day possibly change their lives…
So i have had some people who have made a huge impact on my life by the encouragement they have given me at different time in my life and then of course there have been the bully girls and boys who have done nothing but damage my life.. mostly to better their own… i guess… they are just selfish.. just petty and mean spirited .. just rotten to the core.. the people who twist a conversation into the wrong conversation.. a bunch of really horrid girls who try to continually make me into this horrid person…. nonsense and lies by twisting what was said and how it was said… ..
just today… i tried to call my mom on 239-598-1515 to tell about a few movies or television programs i thought she might like to see… and to discuss… or WSJ articles she might like to talk about…. there was a movie that i thought she had seen ages ago and would appreciate that was on the television this morning while i was on the treadmill… it was with sally field called “not without my daughter” really touching how loyal and devoted this mother was to bringing her self and her daughter back to America… amidst such a very harsh time period in history…
The way i grew up in Saudi was very different… especially since we were in an American compound run by the oil company…. and both my parents are American…. though we had friends from all over the world… and got to travel everywhere as well…
anyway… we Skyped and used the phone and then i got to Skype with Scott… which was nice… There was this really horrid show about gypsies and travelers… and their weddings.. and i just had to call and see if my mom had seen it.. the conversation started out alright.. then the conversation got completely twisted… whoever it was on the phone was trying to make me sound like i was this horrible daughter… when in fact we had had a lovely day watching television movies… and even the sunday when she came over and i bought all these groceries and made both chicken and lamb.. and got her a cake… the whole day was fine… was fine until i tried to speak with her when she was on her second nap of the day…. and she wasn’t acting like my mom… and i told her so.. and then she wanted to leave… she even twisted it around to say that i told her to leave.. which i never did….. and this conversation was brought up on the phone. and twisted…all around without a moment to defend y self or to say what actually happened… anyway.. the clever nasty girl on the phone.. then tried to make it sound like i was just mean to my mother.. so i had to remind her the i bought her a cake .. i was the one who took my mom to the Ritz for different holidays.. and bought her presents.. and wrote her all the beautiful cards she has displayed at her house.. and wrote all the beautiful inscriptions into the books i gave her that still remain in her house …
So due to the conversation that wasn’t all that nice…instead of having a phone message of 4 businesses.. i now have a phone message to my mother’s house that had one message… and a girl who cackling about how she/ manipulated my life again probably for the worse right?
when i got to Skype Scott.. and he recognized that i was the original Mary jean Ziska…. its nice to have someone a friend to recognize me.. instead of the imposters who are not only stealing from my mom.. and from my life and from my business…
It was also the same person who is bent on making sure that people thinking the babysitting business is her and only hers… so this brings me to another topic.. about how this evil person who is stealing my mother’s business… and has been…. and has used funds intended to make her business and her life better.. for god only knows what…..for example: ages ago i had someone on the phone make this executive decision to make up new business cards without my mother’s name on them… an without my name on them… but using the information from her business.. and thus being able to use the company liability insurance or what ever it is someone who steals identities… and I’m assuming now that they steal business identities as well…. So will they be able to use her liability insurance? or claim they are the owner or the daughter of the owner?
Gerard”s friend from Boston who live d in Marco island… told me that is what not only Gerard did this type of scam to steal businesses… but a company who was a home watch company had done the same thing… by creating cards and printed information using practically the same name …. here is another question..if these criminals have stolen phone numbers… to businesses… by either spoofing or even gaining access to the voice mail messages.. how long can a legitimate business last when the criminals are involved? stealing and lying and cheating everyone out of a business hard working and honest people have put our live our heart and our soul into?
speaking of twisting conversations… the person on the phone a couple of times also mentioned that no one would ever hire me because of the information i put into this blog… that somehow it is my fault that a bunch of people have stolen from me.. have lied to me.. and have bullied me… have trespassed… and committed all sorts of crimes and have not been held culpable for any of them .. let alone pay damages or had criminal charges brought against them YET….. the worst part of it.they got away with it.. an no one stopped them.. at least not yet…. but karma.. God… or what ever you believe… even joel osteen mentioned speaking nice and kind words will bring nice and kind words back into your life… and great people who encourage and support and love you will never change into mean and horrible people who cut you down or discourage you or lie about you… it just doesn’t work that way….
so i originally wanted to write about people who are honest and encouraging… and loving… and supportive of your hopes and dreams… Gloria Fletcher… always told me that he had complete confidence… whatever the situation.. and whether she actually did have complete confidence or not… she told me she did… whether it was a situation with an old roommate… or a situation in a class or for project.. or even when i was dealing with business or any situation.. she gave me the confidence to believe in myself… to know that i had problem solving skills.. and to use them to my best ability… to create a solution for whatever life might throw my way..
My mother… was another confidence builder and a great dream supporter……. when I started my first business… she was right there helping me to make critical decisions.. to tell me everything will be alright… to encourage me when i didn’t know if i had any talent… and to tell everyone she knew about what i was doing and trying to get to see my portfolio…. HA! My mom was always there to tell me there was a g
reat guy in my future… that i deserved a really special and wonderful guy who treated me well… who loved me… and who could give me and the family we would create a wonderful life together….
My dad was a man who actually really wanted me to be happy… he was really proud of how i was independent and went off to boarding school not acting like i was afraid… but was pretty brave … at 14 looking at boarding school as an adventure…. i remember him at the airport …. giving me a big hug and telling me how proud he was of me… i also remember when i was grown and had started my own business how he became my biggest fan…. a business i stated as a hobby… that practically no one thought i could do.. not because i didn’t have the talent… or the work ethic… or the ambition… but it seemed to be so uncharacteristic of my personality…. but he always thought i could accomplish any project… and when he saw finished projects.. i think he was as amazed as i was at times…HA!
My friend pattie berndt, she was sooo supportive of my starting my own business.. of learning the ins and outs of turning my hobby into a business.. and so supportive of giving me mentors and clients…
