What I'm Passionate About at 51?!?!?
Now let me tell y'all a bit about myself and what I'm passionate about at 51. To start I have a lot of diverse and vast interests from dabbling in several crypto currency wallets, mobile banking apps, a few gmail accounts, social media apps, music platform apps, this blog, ai apps, AutoCAD apps, business apps, writing, journaling, singing apps, live streaming apps, game reward apps, gaming apps, survey reward apps and a couple of movie/tv streaming apps just to name a few of my vast interests that exist on my phone. I believe I'm totalling about 320 apps, give or take an app or 2. Below is a screenshot of my Mobile Phone's Home screen.
Below here are screenshots of my Mobile Phone's App Draws.





Now a days, I've been working on this 'aha' of a hot and urgent burning idea, running around in my head. That I'm pretty dam sure it would take off and just might put my finances on the straight and narrow to giving me a comfortable living instead of the life of struggle, stress and worry that I've been living my whole life with.
Now for a little background about me, here it is early 2025 and I'm 51. So it's the month after my birthdayI have mentally health disorders which stem from my own childhood.
I'm a mother of 2 grown challenged adults. My oldest is my 29 year old daughter, who faces physical and mental challenges from birth. Below is a infant picture of my daughter.
Then there is my youngest, who is my 23 year old son, who faces mental health challenges also since his birth. Below is a picture of my son.
I have my GED from high school with a 4.5 GPA. Below is my high school campus I attend between Aug 1990 and Oct 1992.
I've also graduated from a 2 year community college with my AAS Degree in 2010 with no aspirations of a job, with a 3.5 GPA. Below is the 2 year community college campus I attended between Jan 2007 and Aug 2010.
I have the want, the burning passion and the drive to work. So, I'm not saying that when I first graduated that I didn't try to get out there in the hustle and bustle of the work force because I did. I applied myself, wrote my cover letters, wrote my resumes, wrote my references, made my phone calls, filled out the applications, went to the interviews, even sent out my thank you letters, as well as made my follow up calls, only to ball my eyes out everytime I got turned down for one reason or another until essentially I felt myself-esteem way out from under me and I just had to stop applying or I was gonna crack and wind up in the nut ward. I pretty much felt like I wasted 2 years for nothing and I was a loser. I felt hopelessly, worthless, and totally shot-down.
After some years went by and in 2020 I decided I would go back to school and further my education and get my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science with an Emphasis in Cyber Security Engineering, so I started down this road and I was very excited to begin and my graduation was set for sometime in early 2023, which really made me very excited because what was suspose to be a 4 year degree, I was being told would only take me 3 years. So I started my courses and came to surprise myself that with every course I took on and completed I was passing with flying color's. I was a straight A student for the first time in many many years. So after taking about half the Degree Program the school sent me a letter informing me that I must declare that I'm not disabled in order to continue with my Degree and in order to complete and to graduate. And that I had until the beginning of my next semester to inform the school of my decision. So after some pain staking thought about it I decided to give up on my dreams of my Bachelor's Degree. Because I couldn't take the chance of being penniless with no way to support myself and no definite job garuantee upon graduation. Below is the logo for the online university I attended and failed to graduate from.
Then a few years after quitting school and feeling a little lost. And after a few moves here and there, within the state of AL and Houston county, in May 2023, I moved into a tiny home park, which was still in development. Close to a year after moving into that park the owner sold the park to a new investor from out of South Carolina around Jan 2024.
Up until last year, April 2024, I had been in a very deep depression about myself-esteem and self-worth. When I caught a break and got the chance to show case my job skills for little pay.
You see, the new investor/landlord of the park I lived in, happened to be from out of state and had no local resources, nor local contacts. So he found himself in need of the skills that I just so happened to have graduated with in 2010. Plus he was penny pincher, so to get the park done in a timely fashion, a deadline if you will, he was asking most of his tenants if they could do certain types of work to help him out and he would pay them. So, down through the park grape vine it came to my attention that he needed a draftsman (someone with the skills to map out the whole park property, accurately, with great attention to detail).
He also needed someone who could draw free hand letters and paint them, so the park would finally have a sign and be named. Well this was the best news i couls have ever heard because of course I possessed both these skills. But I was unaware that my boyfriend of 10 years had heard first and happened to tell him, that I could do both of those things for him, all he had to do is ask me.
So one afternoon as I was walking to the store across the street from the park, he approached me and asked me if I knew what a dwg file was? And of course I looked at him and started laughing and said, Are looking to have a professional line drawing of the park property, buildings placement, property well, electrical poll placement, and park road placement. As well as accurate and proper measurements and spacial recognition? Then yes I know what a dwg file is. And all I would need to know is the measurements of the park and where the borders of the property were and I could get to work immediately on my AutoCAD mobile app. And if I had any other questions I wasn't afraid to speak up and ask. So within the next day.or so he sent me a text message with a couple of property black and white photos that included the measurements of the property border. Below is the the 2 pictures I received in the text message:
Next he asked me if I could draw free-hand letters and paint. And of course I said yes and then I asked him why. He said I'll be send you more detail about it in a few minutes. So after a few minutes my phone dinged abd he had sent me this
With a message saying that he wanted the sign to be white with black letters.
Now the drawing of the park sign was about two weeks to draw and then to build and paint it. Then we, my boyfriend and I, dug the whole and planted it in the ground.
Which gave me the lift I needed to myself esteem to believe in myself again after so many years of believing I wasted 2 years of my life for nothing.
The 'aha' moment came to me 3 years ago when I happened to realize a great name for a business would be
Enough's Enough
And the thought behind it is as follows:
Have you ever really been so sick of anything you just couldn't stand by and keep letting it go. That's when Enough's Enough!!!!
Drafting & Design Technology ForResidential & Commercial Using AutoCAD. Great Attention 2 Detail. Timely Progress Reports. Moderately Cheap Prices. Hard Copy Blue Prints. As Well as The Knowledge to be Able to Digital Send Blue Prints.
Plus Capable of Freehand Drawing Other Types of Projects.
Now to get to my brainstorming idea, the concept starts with the name of my brand first.
Then I've been think of ways to utilize all my apps on my phone to establish my brand and drum up a clientele to start my business. The only real hangup I'm having is having the capital to get started.
Sincerely,
Enough
