Looking for a Few Good Wahms

As a freelance writer, one of my assignments is writing a monthly newsletter for WahmZone.com - a website for moms who work at home. As a work-from-home mom myself, I enjoy this job and love getting to know other women who choose to work from home. I also moderate the forums at WahmZone and I have met some wonderful ladies there. We have great fun chatting on the boards about business, our families, our goals, and anything else that's on our minds (and usually, that's a lot!)

So anyway, in every monthly newsletter, I include a Featured Wahm section, where I interview one or two work-at-home Moms about her business(es). Not only does this give other moms a chance to check out great possible work-at-home opportunities, but it also allows a spotlight to shine on an individual woman and the wonderful job she does balancing work and home.

I am beginning to prepare the May newsletter and I am looking for a few good Moms for the Featured Wahm section. If you work from home, please leave a comment here with an email address so I can get in touch with you. Your work-at-home job can be full-time or part-time or it can be a supplemental job, meaning you may also hold an out-of-the-home job. Anything you do to make money at home constitutes as "work-at-home" and qualifies you to be featured.

If you'd like to check out the types of questions I ask (many times they're pretty general and focus on the aspects of your business), visit the WahmZone Newsletter Archives.

In the meantime, feel free to jump over to the message boards to start chatting about all things work-at-home-mom related (and not).

I'd love to feature you and your business. Again, post your contact information here giving me permission to get in touch for an interview. Hope to hear from you soon!

ALL THINGS NEW...

Well, we're only 9 days into the new year and things are happening! In fact, at the end of this month, something VERY new will be happening...I will become an official Work at Home Mom.

This is really an answer to prayer, as I've been praying for quite a while for an opportunity to stay home and write full-time. I have taken a position with Wahmzone, where I will be forums administrator as well as do other freelance work. Wahmzone was created by Pam Lindsay, the wife of FaithWriters owner, Scott Lindsay. They are wonderful people who love God and are great to work for! So let me insert here that YOU ARE INVITED to join me! If you are a mom and you work from home (either full or part-time) you qualify!

There are forums for all sorts of Direct Sales Companies (like Avon and Tupperware), Writing Moms, even eBaying Moms. It really is a great network with fabulous resources and a fun community where you can connect with other moms like you. There are even forums to refresh your soul and spirit, like Christian Wahms, Mental Moms, and The Water Cooler. Why not jump right to the message boards and start chatting!

In addition to the position with Wahm, I will also be seeking other freelance work with magazines and greeting cards, as well as get that blasted novel finished (I know I can...I know I can...)! Several other novel ideas are also brewing in my overactive brain and I would love to get started on those, too. Plus, most importantly, I love the fact that I will be accessible to my kids at any time and look forward to devoting more time to managing our home and family.

Quitting my part-time job (and consistent income) is a little scary but at the same time, very exciting! It is a step of faith, but one I feel will lead me down the path God has prepared for me and will take me deeper into His purpose for my life.

Thanks to each one of you (especially my husband, Rob) for your support and encouragement as I pursue my dream.

If you have a minute, please say a prayer for me as I begin this NEW adventure.

P.S. I would love to see you on the Wahmzone boards!
