Xmas movies with Mom

Yesterday Mom and I watched the Holiday. It was pretty cute, with a happy ending.

Today we watched The Talented Mr. Ripley. It was dark….

Alex didn’t message me today, on Xmas day. I was so disappointed, while trying so hard not to be.

This line from the movie completely resonated with me:

Marge Sherwood The thing with Dickie… it’s like the sun shines on you, and it’s glorious. And then he forgets you and it’s very, very cold.

Tom Ripley So I’m learning.

Marge Sherwood When you have his attention, you feel like you’re the only person in the world, that’s why everybody loves him so much.

Wow, that’s how I feel about Alex!

Maybe that’s why he is so magnetic!

He cast a spell on me, giving me undivided attention when he was with me….and now, for one week I didn’t hear from him. That’s cold.

I’m a little bit scared of him now. How he might hurt me.

I will do my best to stay calm, cool-hearted.

Sigh.

I wish love was simple!

I went for a walk today, trying to walk off all the food Mom forced on me. I walked towards the marina this time, and it was beautiful.

I listened to the love meditation. In the past it had helped me find more love for John. I listened to it in the hopes that, I will one day find the love that I want and need.

It’s not Alex. I know now.

I mean, I’ve always known….but…I was so in love with him.

That’s the thing with me…I love sex so much. I love pillow talks so much. I love physical touch so much. I love attention. I love any sign of care….

It takes…not a lot…for me to be moved, attracted, and falling for someone.

Yes, Alex is very special and very attractive…but, he did hurt me many times already.

John doesn’t hurt me the same way but he gives me sadness. His lifelessness drains me.

I don’t want the 色勞紋 kind of fate anymore. I want to be someone who attracts love. The good kind of love. I want have have an amazing love life!

I want to be in love with someone who has all the great qualities AND wants to be with me.

Is it my hair that make it hard for guys to want to be with me?

I sure hope not.

But to be honest I’m sick of having alopecia now. I want my hair to grow out…I want to be feminine.

But, not a deal breaker if it didn’t work out that way….

I just want someone to love me the way I want to be loved, and love him the way he wants to be loved.

 

 

 

My Soulmate Manifested

I want to experience great love. I want to meet someone so great that we fall madly in love, have a blast, and get married. He surprises me with a romantic grand proposal, we have a romantic and fun wedding, and live happily ever after!

Ahhhhh I want that.

Where will I find this kind of man and this kind of love?

I think the US. Canadians are too reserved for grand gestures. British and Australians too.

A successful entrepreneur could be a good one. We can relate to each other more. And likely help each other more.

I think I can offer everything I ask for, except for 2 which I’m working on. Stable mood and Great temperament.

Here’s what I want in my husband:

  1. We love each other. We want each other very much and equally much! We make each other happy. We make each other laugh! We bring out the best in each other. We enhance each other’s lives. We are great by ourselves, but we are a force when we are together!
  2. Want me as much as I want him – physically and emotionally
  3. Loves me for me. He believes that I’m the only one for him and I believe he is the only one for me.

Haven’t heard from Alex for 4 days

I wish he’d be in touch more…but, that’s ok.

I’m falling in love with him, but I don’t think he is. I think he falls in love slowly, and he is more focused on his biz in general.

For me, I’m all about love.

For him, he is more about biz and having kids probably! He is the type that will be more into his kids than his wife when he has kids. I would not want that.


It’s now Xmas, and I still haven’t heard from him 🙁

Feeling sad about it. He is not as good as I had imaged after all.

I’m setting myself up to not expect him for next weekend either. Weather is a possible reason. Oh well. I need to focus on finding my true love…not waste my emotions on him.

I can enjoy him in the mean time, but don’t get bogged down. Same goes with John.

 

Manifest my husband

I’ve learned a lot from dating John and sexing Alex.

Basically, I want someone who is the best of John and Alex.

Wow, I feel so predictable! Like, my programming is so simple! Haha.

Bunny, Jumanji, Alex

Went to see Bunny last night. We had our Xmas dinner. He ordered some Yemenese chicken. It was ok. We watched Jumanji. It was not bad!

Then we cuddled. I took my clothes off and tried to get some nice cuddling time. Still not much from him. I feel that he just touches me out of obligation. He didn’t touch my boobs, didn’t grope my ass. Just rubbed my back and gave me some non-sensual lip and neck kisses.

I brought him celery juice I made, picked up his computer for him, and got him a ton of Costco groceries. I guess it’s in the name of me caring about him and him making a lot of money for me in stocks. But my heart is not in this anymore.

I like Alex. Even though, I don’t think he’s warmed up to me yet. I don’t think he is into me the same way I’m into him.

I was thinking back to our first time meeting. He wasn’t even interested in talking to me!

But now, we have such passionate sex and long conversations. It’s so fun.

He still talks about the kids he is gonna have, almost every time.

If he was a woman one would think this woman’s baby clock is totally ticking!

I hope that when we no longer have passionate sex we can still be good friends. Is that possible?

Or, I hope that we’ll always have passionate sex. But that seems unrealistic.

I was talking to Cyndi. Interestingly, she has a young guy and an older guy (our age) in her life too. Dylan and Nathan. They both love her! Aww..that’s nice. After so many years of neglect from Ty.

I also talked to Ty, about when we get old, if he sees himself as having a partner. He says, not necessarily. I tend to agree.

What’s the benefit of growing old with someone? Not a lot. I think it’s better to have a supportive community who love you and may care for you and will make your life fun, and may share the cost of senior care, and to have the money to pay for care.


After Nicole went home, I went to lie down and dream about Alex. I do that a bit too much. I just love being with him so much.

I love the sex, I love the touch, the passion. I love the laughs, sharing stories, sharing biz tips.

I love every moment with him.

 

Alex, Meaning of Life Question

Alex came over last night and we had amazing sex again. And great talks after.

I was not very horny all week because he cancelled on me last minute last week. He said he’d be on time at 5:30 this time. I messaged him at 5pm to confirm he is still coming before I got ready.

He was pretty on time! Only 10 minutes late.

I was a bit nervous and excited for some reason. Hadn’t seen him in 2 weeks.

I was wearing my Xmas lingerie. It’s not very well made, but it’s kinda funny. It’s red lace with white feather trim. It has an open crotch with a bow! I wore my Xmas socks too. And put on my Xmas flannel pajama top. It looked like I was bottom-less.

He came looking cute. He liked my flannel pajama top actually. Maybe even more than the sexy lingerie.

He asked if I missed him. I said maybe. Still a little mad about him cancelling on me last time. I asked if he missed me. He said of course.

We kissed for a while in the living room. I was definitely still so attracted to him even though he disappointed me last time.

We carried on in the bedroom. The moment he entered me, my mouth fell open and I moaned. Each time he enters me, I was so surprised at how amazing it feels.

We did all the usual positions. At one point I was on top, he breathed in a white feather from my outfit and sneezed! Hahahha

I laugh so much before, during, after sex with him all the time.

I told him his hair was so cute. He told me I was so beautiful. That’s nice. He doesn’t compliment me that much but when I compliment him he reciprocates.

All the positions felt so good. And our kisses were so passionate. It’s been two weeks after all… felt like ages.

He came pretty hard…his jizz shot so far it got on my face…maybe his too.

My uterus felt so happy and content after. I never feel this way with other guys.

We talked…though I think we’ve started to repeat ourselves a little bit when we talked about our childhood.

I always laugh so much when I’m with him. Actually I’m not entirely sure if he laughs just as much. He is a bit more stoic. Doesn’t smile much. Before the mushroom night, I was never able to tell if he liked me.

Also I’m not sure if he laughs at my jokes a lot…I’ll pay more attention next time. He makes me laugh though, that’s for sure. He was imagining how Billy from my ECF group would act, when I told him how Billy would continue to talk to me even when I was no longer in eye contact with him and was talking to someone else. “So I tripped over a crack and I thought, I need something to fill this crack. Then I thought, this could be my next Amazon product idea…” Ahahhaa

Before I knew it, we were getting it on again. I think he initiated it. I love that he can go again in like 5 minutes.

I wanted to try sitting up sex, but it didn’t work well in bed. It’s more of a sofa position. Then he asked if I wanted to try lying on top of him again. Last time I was holding myself up, and it didn’t quite work. This time I lied on up of him fully. He started playing with my clit while simultaneously thrusting from behind me….and omg….I moaned like crazy.

It felt so good. I’m not sure if it was the clitoral stimulation or the idea of him touching me like that… I got so wet. He was turned on by how wet I got.

I love moaning loudly because I think it turns him on. I love that I was quivering a bit. I love that I’d wrap my legs around his, and that we were so close together.

He finished with side pumps which is also my fave. Ahhh soo amazing. His dick feels so amazing in every position. I love his dick. I didn’t suck on it though. I will reward him with a blow job when he has been good.

With clitorial stimulation, I giggled so much after. I think I was high. He thought it was cute.

He was hungry and ordered some ramen with dip. It was past 9pm so I only ate a tiny bit. So cute how he always shares with me…tore half of his seaweed into my bowl, asked if I wanted a bite of his pork, and set aside a small bowl for me even though I said I’d just have a bite of his. He is so cute and sweet like that…

I needed to touch him always. I put a leg on his thighs. He put my other leg up on him and held me in his arms. I love that. He is very touch-oriented like me. Between sex I noticed he’d run his fingers over my skin. It felt so great.

I asked him the question, “Consider the past 3 months and describe one moment when you felt really good, like you were participating in something particularly meaningful.”

He said, without hesitation, the mushroom night. I was delightfully surprised. He goes out every weekend, and I wasn’t sure if he was doing something more fun and memorable.

His reason was not quite the same as mine though. He likes that it’s rare. It’s rare that we go outside and stare at the sky. He likes that it was spontaneous. He likes that I came out. He likes the simplicity of it. I dove deeper on why the simplicity was attractive to him. He said because his biz partner said he always over complicates things (in biz), and that his businesses are getting more and more complex. He is drawn to simplicity, simpler life, I think.

So, rare adventures, simple and natural events, simple life…these are the keywords I hear.

I could’ve dug deeper into, why I made it a very fun and meaningful moment, but I didn’t.

For Bunny, it was mindset (from me)

For Ty, it was doing something that is the first in history. (toonprov aka shitty zoom)

For Cyndi, it was community

For Nicole, it was act of kindness and being loved.

For me, it was doing something for the first time (new adventure), being in a group, and being loved/cared for by someone I’m attracted to.

These answers to the question are so accurate and insightful of the person’s values!

Imagine if Alex and I were to live in a community, and have lots of rare/travel adventures! If he was in WifiTribe with me, we’d be dating by now.

I was thinking recently that I had wanted to attract a boyfriend who is good at marketing, and height doesn’t matter. I had wanted to be friends with a lot more people, and from there, develop friendship, and eventually when I’m single, pick out a boyfriend from my guy friends..

It’s amazing how close this has turned out the way I wanted. I’ve manifested this!

It’s not quite exactly…he is not my boyfriend, and he wants kids..A LOT! He talks about kids every time.

I need to strengthen my manifesting powers!

I’m grateful though. It’s been SO FUN being with him. SOOO FUN. It’s soul nourishing. It’s life-giving. It’s exhilarating. I love him.

We talked about business a bit. That’s always fun too. He told me about getting a line of credit to grow my biz. I just might!

As he was leaving, he said, “See you next week?” I said yes but let me know if you’re gonna cancel…but then I remembered that I’m going to Victoria next weekend. So, it’ll be two weeks. Sigh.

We kissed so much before he left. Miss him already.

He is prolly going to Mexico in January, and is for sure going to Japan for 2 months in April. Ugh. I want him always…

He is so special to me. I wonder if he finds me to be so special too. I hope we’ll always be this fond of each other, this passionate, and increasingly romantic!

 

12X business revenue and profit in 2022

I can do it and I want to do it!!!!

YES!

I want to reach $10MM because that will give me even more freedom haha.

I want to reach $10MM because that will help me gain some street cred on ECF! I want to find a husband on ECF 😀

I want to reach $10MM because I want to make as much money as possible while young. I want to reach $100MM before I retire. I want to have more money than my cousins who will get lots of inheritance.

Of course, health and love come first. Great health, great love, and a wealth level that range from very comfortable to life-changing and world-changing!

    2. Have a SODA’d operation with local and virtual teams
  2. 6 Month:
  3. 3 Month:

Improve our capacity:

  1. Hire 1 more VA, perhaps from Eastern Europe
  2. Move to a warehouse
  3. Get a second engraver machine
  4. Train a second engraver
  5. Start using Wizmo and DesktopShipper

What to do about Amazon?

  1. Replace Sellerlabs with Zontools (or whatever that other thing is called)
  2. See if we can replen FBA
  3. Launch Foxfire.
  4. Remove all bad inventory (B4, B6, Rose Gold, high return items) – if we can send more inventory in
  5. Get good reviews
  6. Downvote bad reviews
  7. Regular release of new listings
  8. Regular release of engraved listings

Local inventory:

  1. We need to QA all inventory so the person fulfilling the orders always fulfills with good inventory only
  2. Wall organization when we move to new space
  3. Dump all bad or old inventory

Products:

  1. Create new moulds for Bevel
  2. Create new moulds for CF with less flow line effect
  3. Create new moulds for CF with inside grooves for Amazon (under Foxfire or KT brand)

Etsy:
2020: 2.3X sales ($85K), 70% growth in traffic (1.7X), 22% growth in conversion, 2X orders
2021: 3X sales ($250K), 188% growth in traffic (2.8X), 14.5% drop in conversion, 2.5X orders, higher AOV because of engraving. Growth started in June.

Shopify:
2021: 2X sales ($150K), 18% growth in traffic only, 2X conversion rate (2.55%). Growth started in June too.

I think engraving started catching on in June! Started in Feb. Probably took 4 months to get ranked on Google?

We can expect more competition this year, but we can also expect higher revenue from a full year of engraving!

$400k sales from these two sites in 2021. Can expect at least $1MM in sales in 2022 I think, just from having engraving offer for the full year. But we want to amp it up and grow to beyond that! At least $2MM! I think we can do $4MM if we aim for $10MM. Or we can do $10MM!!

 


In general, there are SO many things to focus on. So, which should we do first?

  1. Clear Goal: Grow 12x while operating smoothly – good customer experience, good team experience.
  2. Minimal effort, maximum result
  3. Pave the foundation for massive expansion -automation, staff, warehouse

His Secret Obsession: what’s your meaning of life?

Page 118

Consider the past month and describe one moment when you felt really good, like you were participating in something particularly meaningful.

You then ask him what made it feel meaningful. You ask why it felt good.


The past month the one moment I felt really good was when I was on mushroom with Alex and his friends. He had his arms around me, and we were laughing super hard.

Why did it feel meaningful? Why did it feel good?

It felt amazing being in his arms. I felt safe, protected. He would make sure that everything is gonna be ok for me that night because he cared.

It felt good because we were laughing. I love and miss having a group of friends.

It felt good because I loved the touch, and how I felt so close to Alex. And it was exciting, because I was becoming attracted to him. And I know that he was attracted to me too. And we were both so horny.

It felt good because in the group I have a “boyfriend” who is the cutest and smartest in the group, who likes me and is holding me. I love that so much. It makes me feel loved. It makes me feel like I’m getting special attention. Extra love. Extra attentiveness.

It’s meaningful because this feeling is the essence of happiness for me.

It’s also meaningful because we are experiencing something new (the northern lights, new friends, higher mushroom dose or this particular strain of mushroom) and building friendship.

Love, touch, intimacy, friendship, group friends, laughter, new experiences, adventure.

I need to find a boyfriend like that.

I need to find a group of friends like that.

We need to do fun adventures.
