Hey, all! I'm Monique and a big, fat welcome to you all! I'm 39 years old and live in San Diego, California.
I have been in the food and beverage industry for over 20 years and wow that is crazy to type. LOL. I cooked for most of those years and have washed dishes for some. I am currently washing dishes for the last 6 years as I was so over the drama that can come with cooking. Drama comes with almost every job but we can choose what kind of drama we are okay with. There is almost no drama involved where I work currently and I am grateful for that. Even though I love my co-workers like family and the location is perfect (by the bay), I don't want to do this forever. My goal is to work from home.
I have an Etsy shop that is over a decade old where I sell my unique, handmade hair accessories I may soon switch things up a little and offer gift boxes in my shop because I am beginning to get bored with things as they are. I recently opened up a second shop on Etsy where I drop-ship t-shirts with my designs on them.
I'm guilty of staying indoors WAY too much and using the excuse of not having many friends to go hang out with. LOL.
It's what inspired me to create this space. I want this forum to be filled up with LOTS of women who are getting to know each other and planning outings together, even if it's going on walks. I read recently that loneliness can take time off of one's life.<<<sorry to be depressing but just sayin'! LOL.
For me, I am guilty of being so focused on my online businesses (that haven't even been that successful yet, working on it!) that I don't get out enough and LIVE, and have FUN. It's been this way for the last 7 years at least.
Some other stuff about me:
*I realized I am so different from other people when I became an adult (I think a lot of us feel that way)
*I am demisexual (found out it has a name almost a decade ago) which means I am halfway to being asexual. I DO IT on my own time. LOL.
*I love the paranormal (give me all the ghosts, aliens & bigfoot stories)
*I was a hardcore MJ fan back in the day and even went to Neverland Valley Ranch 5 times (never met him, only reached into his car and he grabbed my hand, close enough), and no, I don't believe him to be a pedo based on my research and that I have friends who were friends of his, related to him.
*My mom turned me onto The Big Bang Theory during season 4 and there began another fandom I became a part of. Went to about 30 tapings of the show from late season 5 to its final season.
*I get myself into traps financially that I want so badly to release myself from...that being said, my future girlfriends, all the things we can do for free while I fix myself, I'm down. LOL!
*I love learning about the law of attraction! I have manifested over $200 in a week before and a free iced mocha from Jack-N-The-Box yesterday morning to name two things. LOL.
Anyhoo, please tell all the girls you think would appreciate a forum dedicated to women gaining more friendships with each other and having meet-ups about this forum. I want women to feel safe here and have fun. I'm actually going to make it a private community once this community reaches a certain amount of ladies. Leaving it open for now so people can see what it's all about. Please spread the word!
I was originally going to host this forum on this $33-a-month fancy platform that I really love and still MAY in the future but I thought, "No, I have to start somewhere and I have to start NOW!"
Once this place really starts to pop off and people start to support us with donations and merch purchases (Donations/Merch Here (Spread The Link), we can use some of that money to keep the annoying ads off of this forum, to buy cute things for giveaways and so much more!
Novel aside, thank you for reading! Write your intro underneath mine or start your own thread! Anything goes!
