Do you want to make money online from share trading? It is a myth that you need to have huge funds required to step into the stock market. With options trading, you can earn an awesome return on your investment with low capital and limited risk.
Although options trading is one of the riskiest things. However, a calculated risk can also reward you with high return.
So, let’s unfold the key aspects of options trading and how you can make money online from it.
An option is basically a contract between a buyer and a seller having a validity or expiry date. The price of the option depends on an underlying asset at a specific price on or before the expiry date. It is also known as derivatives as its value is derived from its underlying asset.
Underlying asset could be an index or stock and normally trading options involve hedging your position to minimize losses. Index assets like benchmark Index Nifty, Sensex, and BankNifty and Stocks assets are like Reliance, Suzlon, and SBI.
Let’s unfold the key aspects of options trading and how you can make money online from it.
So, you can really make money from options trading. The only thing you need to care about is the trend of the underlying asset which you intend to trade. Focus on the trend and pattern and your system will become a money generator for you.
When you buy a call option contract that means you are anticipating the underlying index or stock likely to move higher. It shows you are bullish on that particular index and stock option. When you buy a Call option, the price you pay for it, called the option premium.
Call option price and its underlying asset price will move in the same direction but the percentage of return may vary. So, if the underlying asset has gone up by 1 percent, then call option may up by 10 percent or even more. In addition, if the underlying asset has gone down then call option price also go down.
When you buy a put option contract it means you are anticipating the underlying index or stock likely to go down. It shows you are bearish on that particular index and stock option. Put option price and its underlying asset price will move in the opposite direction.
So if the underlying asset gone up by 1 percent, then put option may go down by say 8 percent or more. Furthermore, if the underlying asset price goes down, then put option price will increase.
An option Premium is the price of the option which you pay to purchase the option. So, if a call option for X company having a lot size of say 100 and the price is 10 then the options premiums will be 1000. This means that this option costs you 1000. Remember options trading is done in lots size.
The Strike (or Exercise) Price is the price at which the underlying asset can be bought or sold as specified in the option contract. If the underlying asset is trading at 50, then 50 in X August 2017 50 CE call option will be the strike price.
So, if you believe the price of X will move up from 50 to 60, then buy call option of X having a strike price 60. Although all the call options with different strike price will also increase but strike price with 60 will give you more returns. You can expect more trading volume in this counter than any other.
You can choose a strike price in three different circumstances. Check out them below which will help you to decide which strike price to choose from.
Call option – underlying asset price is higher than the strike price.
Put option – underlying asset price is lower than the strike price.
Call option – underlying asset price is lower than the strike price.
Put option – underlying asset price is higher than the strike price.
The underlying asset price is equivalent to the strike price.
The Expiration Date is the date on which the option will no longer valid and ceases to exist. The expiration date for all listed stock and index options in India is last Thursday of the month.
There are many other options trading strategies which I will cover in my next post. Options trading really help you to hedge your position to avoid loss.
Trading in options involves high risk but limited. As a newbie in options, please don’t try to write option as it will lead you to take the unlimited loss. You can trade options in both NSE and BSE.
If this post adds value, then please share and like it on Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks. Comments below to know more about it.
can options be closed before expiration date? same for the futures?
Yes, you can exit before the expiry date.
where i learn more about F&O in simpler terms aside from your articles? share any resources please. indian context.
The best way to learn car driving is to come out from your comfort zone and start driving. Books or internet can only help you to some extent. So, take the risk, make up your mind and start trading with a low amount. Technical and fundamental analysis are just part of your trading activity. You will be a winner in stock trading & investing depending on your decision. Believe me, learning a car driving is same as trading in stocks, commodities, and currency.
You never know what will happen in the future. However, knowing rules of trading certainly helps you to avoid unwanted things. I myself learn while trading and actually never found any kinds of stuff that help me to understand easy and simple way.
Having said that, you can ask me anything related to stock market trading. I will try to make things easier for you.

will cure the kind of hangover you remember a year after the fact with masochistic pleasure.
anise, ginger, cinnamon, fish sauce and daikon; garnish with rice noodles, paper-thin slices of raw brisket, cilantro and bean sprouts. It's certainly an interesting experiment - once - but I don't think it's any copout to be perfectly content with running down to Pho 75 for a $5.95 bowl of salty, aromatic, silky restoration.

The event was graced celebrity BFC endorsers and supportere led by actor and sports enthusiast Gerald Anderson, Bb. Pilipinas Universe 2012 Ariella Arida and BFC Lab athlete Ryan Kolton. All of them presented their experiences on how they incorporated health, fitness and beauty into their own busy lives and professional careers.
Kolton spoke about how exercise can be improved by supplementing an individual’s diet with pre, intra and post workout supplements. He singled out the various Euphoriamaxx variants of BFC Laboratories (L-Arginine, Creatine, BCAA and Gluthamine) in helping get extra energy, muscle development and muscle recovery. He also stressed the importance of weight management in transforming one’s physique through naturally-sourced fat-busters (L-Carnitine and Green Tea Extract) in Cosmo Body Dietary Supplement; and the elimination of toxins by taking additional fiber through Psyllium Fiber in Fibermaxx.
Ariella Arida took the stage to delve deeper into the launch’s theme of the importance of the use of organically-sourced supplements and other “green” ingredients. The talk also touched on the subject of grocery lists that can help tremendously in lightening skin. On her end, she actively spoke about the use of naturally-sourced GSE or Grape Seed Extract to help her fix dark spots through Cosmo Skin GSE Dark Spots Corrector.
Vitamin C was what fueled Gerald Anderson, which is available in Cosmo Cee. He cites vioflavonoids in Cosmo as one of the sources of energy when doing the numerous sporting activity he is currently into. It also helps lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
On top of the event with the three endorsers, it also served as a launchpad for BFC Lab’s newest product, the BFC Lab Acai Berry.

Since many of you may be stitching up some little gifts for your near and dear ones, I thought of sharing some free brazilian embroidery patterns available here and there.
Here is the link to free designs with instructions at BDEIG site. I've posted this link before,but since some new designs have been shared there, I thought I'll remind you once again.
For those stitching Christmas based patterns like the one above ,country bumpkin has shared a few patterns from the book A-Z of Bullions. The patterns use bullion stitch predominantly and so can be adapted for Brazilian embroidery. Click here to see the patterns.
While you're there, check out the free magic mushrooms stump work design too.
And over at Threads In Bloom,Sharon is offering a free Brazilian embroidery design, Blowin' in the wind.
Iam at present trying to finish the preliminary work of my Schwalm project so that I can start the actual pulled thread stitching soon. Will soon post about its progress. Because of my system crash, and because of the old age of my present computer, my internet time is severly restricted. I do visit many blogs and bloggers who are dear to me and do try to leave comments as much as possible. If some of you feel that I've ignored you, please, it is not intentional. I would also like to point out that in some cases, I've tried to visit back or leave comment,but either the blogger settings of those blogs have not been set correctly or your profile has not been shared. So in case you're wondering why you're not receiving as many comments or visits , please check your settings and enable your profile for all of us to get in touch with you.

In talking with Alice Adams the other day it got me thinking about my own musical journey and how special it is to both worship everyday and also to play for others. Alice shared with me how much they they are benefiting from the Worship Guitar Class program.
What caught my attention was when she mentioned that her kids play once a month with a Christian bluegrass group. I remembered that as a young player I used to play once a month at hootenannies. These were casual musical evenings in private homes.
Some of you are Pastors or lead Home Groups. Keep your eyes open for opportunities to invite younger musicians to lead worship. If you are a worship leaders, why not ask less experienced players to join you?
Having a reason and place to play will inspire the younger musician to work at mastering their instrument. And what a great opportunity for us to encourage the next generation of worship leaders!
What I also appreciated about her call was saying that her family started their homeschool day with a praise time using the guitars.
I wanted to encourage you to try to start each day with worship. Some families or individuals can’t do this in the mornings, so in the evening also works well. I think of Stan in Hawaii who worships in the evenings with his family.
I always look forward to getting your updates. Many time I have benefited from you wisdom. Keep up the good work, and my God continue to bless you with His presence daily.
Jean, We all need encouragement from time to time and blessed are those who encourage us.
No matter how young or old young musicians or song writers are, let’s continue to encourage their efforts to be involved in activities that focus on our wonderful Master.
I appreciate receiving your e-mail and reading your words that focus on our LORD.
Dale and Randy thanks for your precious comments. Your comments are a blessing to me too.

A mosaic of hair-styles, colours, languages and blurry boundaries.
They were called Papua - ‘frizzy-haired’, by their western neighbours, the Malay-speaking people of Southeast Asia. This apt distinction and handy term was commonly adopted. The dark skinned, frizzy-haired people speaking Non-Austronesian (Papuan) languages made a distinctive group in Oceania. Or did they?
The picture is complicated since many frizzy-haired people in our region speak Austronesian – a family of languages with the largest geographical spread in the world in the pre-colonial era. This reflects past migration events, mixing traditions and formation of new cultures which historians, linguists and archaeologists attempt to reconstruct.
The complexity is well illustrated in East Timor where indigenous Papuan people speak Tetum – a language from the Malayo-Polynesian (Austronesian) family with some Portuguese influence, and another popular language - Fataluku - a Papuan (or more correctly Non-Austronesian) language, widely used in the eastern part of the country. Several smaller language groupings are also associated with Papuan language family. Bahasa and Portuguese were adopted in a more recent colonial period.
Europeans, often obsessed with skin colour, introduced the name Melanesia - meaning black, borrowed from Greek via French. It was coined by Jules Dumont d'Urville, French explorer, in 1832. He intended to define an ethnic and geographical grouping of islands whose inhabitants, he thought, were different from those of Polynesia and, of course, the most of Southeast Asia.
But Austronesian languages of the Malayo-Polynesian branch are spoken by inhabitants of Melanesia, including the Solomon Islands, Fiji and north eastern regions of Papua New Guinea such as Manus Island, New Britain, New Ireland and the Milne Bay area with hundreds of small islands. Scholars think this is a product of Austronesian people expanding east to the Pacific via Melanesia in prehistoric times, at least by the second millennium before the Common Era.
On their ‘journey’ future Polynesians picked up a bit of Melanesian pigment in their skin, but left a rich linguistic heritage and various cultural practices, including tattooing, head-hunting, making backcloth and outrigger canoes.
Hidden in the jungle and possibly in the deep shadows of the past are some little people. They are like Papuans, but very small, such as the Tapiro People in the Mimika River region of the Papua Province. Similar small people with frizzy hair and chocolate-coloured skin live, usually isolated, in remote locations across Southeast Asia – from Taiwan and the Philippines through to the Andaman Islands, and possibly even Australia.
According to an old theory, these little people, sometimes called Negritos, may represent a remnant of original ‘modern’ humans in Southeast Asia and the first people ever who populated New Guinea and Australia a bit over 40,000 years ago. In recent times anthropologists eloquently dismissed this alluring theory, but the mystery of the little people still awaits explanation.
In commonly used geographical definition, Melanesia includes New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Bougainville, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Fiji, where about 1000 languages are spoken. But Melanesian people are present in Southeast Asia as well, prominently in East Timor and Halmahera, making western boundary of Melanesia as blurry as the others.

This is going to sound like a broken record but nothing has changed. We have had a crack of open water about a third of a mile out which extends as far as I can see to the north and south and is at least 25 yards wide for the last two days. Our access is closed to any traffic until we get some COLD weather to close up the whole lake. Until then we just watch the ice pack float around based on the wind direction.
We will open the bath house on Friday for people who want to come up for New Year's weekend. You can fish on the south end or hit some smaller lakes close by. Just remember--No Access here this weekend.
Nothing has changed. The cracks have not healed. The lake still has open water so the ice still moves with the wind as evidenced by the hovercraft rescues recently. We need cold weather to freeze everything over. Our access is closed and will be closed through the weekend at least. The lake is not safe near us.
You can view our new webcam on the mnlakecams.com website and you should be able to access it soon off our own website. The link should be done soon.
Happy holidays and wish for cold temps and no significant snow until we are out with fishhouses.
Not much change. Our access is still closed to all traffic. The winds last Thursday and over the weekend really raised havoc with our ice. I cleared out our main approach where the ice had piled up. The alternate approach still has 6' of ice piled up and we will start on that on Tuesday. The problem is not with the approaches, it is with the cracks and resuting open water. I see a fair amount of open water from shore and I heard of a few problems this weekend with stranded anglers.
I can tell you straight out that the ice near us is not safe for any travel right now. Most of the ice is 7-8 inches, but there are also open water and spots which have frozen over with skim ice and are not safe. We need some cold weather to freeze up the cracks and open water patches. Also with the open water the ice can and is shifting in the wind.
Well, where do I start? Monday, I went to the meeting of the Mille Lacs Fishery Input Group with the DNR. They said that the test nets this fall showed a lower number of fish, especially among younger male fish. This is not too surprising considering that is what the Band targets with their nets and also what we target as the fish less than 18". What is very shocking and quite unexplainable is that the band was 81,000 pounds under their allowable harvest this year and we were 170,000 pounds under our allowable harvest. In fact, in the last 4-5 years the total harvest (Band and sportsmen) is around 400,000 pounds under the allowable harvest. What happened? How can total fish be going down when we have not even been close to what is allowed?
I think there is still much to be figured out. Are the fish moving to different spots? It would certainly be reasonable considering how popular and successful the deep water, lead core line trollers have been the last few years. Has the zebra mussel growth changed fish location where maybe the DNR test nets are just not catching as many fish? Are the test nets still a valid statistical sample which can be used to estimate the total fish population? Are Band net counters and DNR creel census workers getting an accurate measure of total harvest?
One interesting fact from the DNR was that the apparantly lower young male population had not had much effect on fish reproduction. It was still very good with a very healthy young of the year fish population. Maybe the population of male fish is not all that important to the overall health of the total fish population. ( It makes me feel somewhat useless as a male).
Also, the lower number of fish caught per test net in Mille Lacs is still higher than in any of the other big walleye lakes in MN. In fact, it was higher than Leech Lake where the DNR reported fish at a "strong" level.
I do not mean this to seem as a condemnation of the DNR. They have a very tough job to do and ,in my opinion, the people responsible for the testing and biology work are dedicated to doing their best in a very tough environment. Having said that, I feel that the numbers they work with are estimates of uncertain accuracy and maybe we are trying to micromanage a huge body of water beyond our capabilities. Because of our agreement with the band, the lower number of fish per test net this year means we do not have the possibility of going over our maximum harvest. If we get close, the DNR will have to change the slot limits.
The DNR also said they fear that the fishing will be very good this winter and also next summer. The forage is somewhat lower also so the fish may be biting aggressively. They certainly know how to rain on our parade and make what would be wonderful news any other time seem like bad news. They were trying to warn us or at least make us aware of a potential problem.
The walleye regs this winter have not changed. The limit is still 4 walleyes with a protected slot of 18" to 28" with one walleye over 28" allowed. Considering that the fishing was good this summer and very good this fall and we were still 170,000 pounds under our allowable harvest, I am not losing any sleep about regs for next summer. The DNR said the maximum harvest for next year may be around 10% less than in 2011, that still allows a significant harvest for 2012. I say enjoy a very good winter, eat some walleye, and most importantly, HAVE FUN!!!
On to ice conditions and fishing. Until thursday, we were enjoying very good fishing and excellant ice conditions. The strong winds yesterday caused many cracks with some ice pile-up and many water spots. Some of the water is around the cracks, but some open water is also present. Adding to this is the fact that it is supposed to warm this weekend . Our access will be closed this entire weekend with no traffic of any kind allowed. We need some cold temps to heal everything up. I wish I had better news.
STAY SAFE AND THINK COLD!!!!
We have been getting out for 3 days now with ATVs and snowmobiles, as well as walking. The ice is around 7 inches and the fishing has been very good. Most people are fishing along Agate Bay Reef (ABR) in 16 to 25 feet depending on the time of day and cloud cover. I have heard from several groups who have done very well towards sunset along the reef in 20-23 feet, jigging with minnows. Hope to have a webcam installed within a week so watch for that!
I was out checking ice this morning. There was 5-6 inches of ice all the way to the reef. There were several small cracks which is not uncommon on early ice. By Sat am we should have 6-7 inches if nothing bad happens. At this time, we will be allowing walking and ATV/snowmobile traffic this weekend. HOWEVER, this means one person per ATV or snowmobile with a sled ot tub. It DOES NOT mean an ATV pulling a trailer with people and all their gear riding on it. If you need to pull a lot of weight, the bays down by Isle have more ice and that may be a better bet.
THINK COLD AND NO SNOW!!!!!

After quite a New Year's weekend, the ice is getting straightened out. We had several cracks when we went from 36 and 1-2 inches of rain to below zero in a couple of days. We moved the main road and bridged the worst of the cracks and this week of cold temps have done wonders to heal the ice.
The cold weather slowed the fishing for a few days, but it seems to be picking up again. We saw several nice catches of perch in the last two days and heard of nice walleyes taken also. The deeper perch bite is improving, although they continue to pick some up in shallower areas as well. I think we will see some fishermen leaving the reef areas and start moving deeper along Perch Parkway and south of the reef along either Walleye Drive or Lake St..
Walleyes continue to like shiners and red hooks are still working. Perch have taken fatheads one day and only wanted wax worms or euralarva the next. Be prepared to offer them a bait buffet and let them show you what they want. The mornings have been better for perch. Walleyes still prefer the low light times.

This is going to sound like a broken record but nothing has changed . We have had a crack of open water about a third of a mile out which extends as far as I can see to the north and south and is at least 25 yards wide for the last two days . Our access is closed to any traffic until we get some COLD weather to close up the whole lake . Until then we just watch the ice pack float around based on the wind direction .
 We will open the bath house on Friday for people who want to come up for New Year 's weekend . You can fish on the south end or hit some smaller lakes close by . Just remember -- No Access here this weekend .
 Nothing has changed . The cracks have not healed . The lake still has open water so the ice still moves with the wind as evidenced by the hovercraft rescues recently . We need cold weather to freeze everything over . Our access is closed and will be closed through the weekend at least . The lake is not safe near us .
 You can view our new webcam on the mnlakecams.com website and you should be able to access it soon off our own website . The link should be done soon .

My first announcement should make a few of you happy. A number of you apple-junkies have been feeling incredibly left out. Not any longer. I am pleased to announce that ‘The Story of Albert Ross’ is now available on I-Tunes. Now go forth and download my friends, and hopefully enjoy.
In other news, ‘Existence Is Futile’ is now listed on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. The bad news is that it is not yet in stock. That does not stop you from ordering it, to encourage them to speed up a little. Best of all is the fact that Amazon delivers to a number of countries(including Poland and Denmark). The most bizarre fact of all is that on both sites someone has listed ‘used’ copies. Curiously those copies do not yet exist. That’s what you call forward planning.
My last announcement relates to Goodreads.com. For those of you that don’t know Goodreads is a book rating website, something similar to what IMDB does for films. You log in, rate what you’ve read, review if you wish, plan what you are going to read, see what your friends are reading and you can even follow authors you like. There is no need to sign up anymore as you can link Goodreads directly to your Facebook profile. Why is that of interest? Because you can now find my profile, a page for ‘Existence Is Futile’ and a page for ‘The Story of Albert Ross’ on Goodreads. If you already use it, you know what to do. If you don’t, consider joining, if you do, find me. If you’ve read something I’ve written, review it. If not, add it to your to-read list. Why? Because it will help me, and more importantly it will help share these stories. Go on, you know you want to.

This is a story of yogic technology in action. It is the story of an answered prayer and a fulfilled New Year’s intention. It is the story of two people who knew what they wanted and dared to receive it. This is the story of how I came to enter the most rewarding (and yes, often challenging) partnership and commitment of my life. This is how I met my husband.
In 2010 I attended my first Summer Solstice Sadhana in New Mexico. I was very new to Kundalini Yoga at that time. A friend has invited me to sing for his workshop, and besides, I had some free time. At least that’s why I thought I was there. If you have ever been to this epic event, you know that the reason you think you go, is a very far cry from the reason your soul arranges for you to be there. It turns out there were a lot of reasons for my presence, not least of which was doing a service exchange on the sound team with the man I would marry exactly one year later.
The most amazing part about our first meeting was that neither of were interested in the other romantically. It was not love at first sight.
In fact, besides some conversations about his teacher training, and some other service-related banter, we barely interacted.
The next time we met was at Winter Solstice in Florida, only 6 months later. I had just finished my month-long intensive teacher training in Espanola, New Mexico. Also, I had completed 40 days of reciting the prayer “So Purkh” with the intention of attracting a partner.
My future husband, Harimander, had begun his own spiritual practice. He had expressed interest in marriage, so his teacher encouraged him to being a Sahej Path to activate the intention. A Sahej Path is a personal prayer that involves reading the Siri Guru Granth Sahib (Sikh scriptures) each day, eventually completing it in its entirety.
When we met again at Winter Solstice, something had changed in both of us. Still no attraction though.
We both signed up for the sound team again. On one of the days, we were assigned to help out for a class taught by Snatam Kaur and So Purkh Singh (I love that that is his name by the way!). I could tell the story within the story of how they met and married—because that was the topic of their class—but I’ll keep on point here.
At some point during their class Harimander and I realized that everything was going smoothly, so we decided to participate in the class. Unbeknownst to me, he got a very clear message as we were doing one of the exercises in the kriya. The message was: “Your future wife could be very near you right now.” Immediately interested in this suggestion, he opened his eyes and sees that I’m the only one next to him within a few feet. We were “backstage” and everyone else was actually in the class. He didn’t tell me this until a little later in our relationship. He probably didn’t want to scare me. Smart man.
Our courtship began when he started Facebook messaging me about two weeks later. He ended up coming out to Los Angeles, where I was currently living, to see “how our auras would get along.” I kid you not. That is what he said.
In the car, on the way to a Dave Stringer kirtan, he asked me what I wanted out of a relationship. I told him I wasn’t interested in dating. I wanted to get married. He said that was exactly where he was in his life as well. Three months later he proposed over skype—and again in person when he came to meet my parents in Connecticut. Two months after that we got married at Ram Das Puri in New Mexico at Summer Solstice Sadhana.
Some family members expressed their concern that the relationship was so new, and that the marriage felt rushed. My mom thought I was pregnant! (Nope, not until the next year!). Funny enough, for the Kundalini Yoga community, short courtships (even no courtships) were fairly commonplace. Yogi Bhajan had arranged marriages for many people who met and married on the same day. Harimander used to tell people that Guru (the subtle energy that guides us to our highest and brightest) arranged our marriage. I think that’s about right.
We knew what we wanted, recognized it was right there, and signed up for the adventure. We have certainly had our difficulties, but all in all, we both know we made the only possible decision. After all, when God answers your prayers, the least you can do is receive.

Stories of Yogi Bhajan: Are You Happy?
I remember that visit when Harimandir Singh came to LA and you two were hanging out!

My now husband introduced me to Kundalini Yoga shortly after we met and I felt as if my soul came home, it was the most comfortable cozy feeling.

Open Houses on the Outer Banks - To Do or Not to Do?
I will hold Open Houses - and I do them on a case by case basis. An agent should not refuse an open house to a client that is requesting that they do it - especially if the agent states in their marketing plan that they will do an open house. On the other hand; I've had several clients that did not want their home held open - they felt that the serious buyers would already have a "Buyer's Agent" that would show the home to them if it fit their needs. Having random people just walk into an open home where they don't know any details about it or even the listing price - is really not in the best interest of the seller. Especially in large cities where the open house could be used by a thief to case out your home. Quite honestly, an Open House serves the Realtor more than the seller - it's a great way to generate leads, meet new people, and market the agents name to new potential clients. In the remote chance that the walk-in wants to actually make an offer on the home - then that's just a huge bonus. Home Seller's need to understand this and keep their expectations in check.
As an aside; Open Houses tend to work best in new home communities were buyers come to that community because they are familiar with it and with the home prices in that community. Having worked many years in model homes it was quite often where a buyer would walk in to the model - and make an offer on that home - that day.
Bottom line - If I say I will do an open house and you ask me to do it - I will definitely do it. Every market and community is different - so the results will be different. I prefer having open houses for listings that are very visible and in high traffic areas.

Let’s be real for a sec: JoJo Fletcher was the best-dressed Bachelorette of all time. Don’t @ us, it’s honestly just a fact at this point. Not only did the 27-year-old find love at the end of her season, but she also gained 2.2 million Instagram followers and a devoted fan base obsessed with literally everything she wears. If you bought a Mochi Swim bikini or subscribed to FabFitFun just because she promotes it, then you’re about to drop some serious cash on JoJo’s new clothing line, Fletch.
Fletch, which officially launches its summer collection on Tuesday, June 13, has been “a long time in the making” for JoJo. “Doing a clothing line is something that I feel like I’ve always wanted to do,” she explained. “When I was in high school I even thought about doing it, and even before I got into real estate I dabbled into the idea of opening up my own boutique, but the idea never came to fruition.” But over the last two years, the former Bachelorette has taken risks, played around with her personal style, and worked hard to make her dream become a reality.
But which item in the collection is her absolute favorite? It was hard for JoJo to pick, but we made her choose one anyway! "I think one that everyone all around will love is the desert mini dress, it's that vintage, navy floral one that I posted for the very first photo on Fletch’s Instagram," she explained. "It’s a crowd pleaser, it fits amazing, the quality is great, it forms to your body no matter what size you are, and it's very flattering, so I think that one will be a hit."
With sizes ranging from XS to XXL and looks for every occasion, Fletch will become your newest obsession. Be sure to check out JoJo’s official clothing line at shopfletch.com and get shopping!

My best friend almost killed herself. She's the one person I can tell anything to, the one person I would do anything for. She texted me at 10:30 on Tuesday morning while I was in lunch at school. I have never been the kind of person who breaks down, but when she told me she wanted to end her life I saw my heart break in two. How could I deal with this? If she were to end her life I would not know what to do with myself. She means the very world to me.
How did I deal with this?
At first, I cried till I couldn't breathe, then I cried till I couldn't breathe or see. I continued to cry till there was nothing left. But as I cried I told her how I felt about her, how much I loved her, and how much she meant to me. About two months ago I made my best friend promise me if we were not married by the age of thirty we would marry each other so we would not die alone. I felt like the one person who was never going to let me be alone was giving up on life and was deserting me, so I was mad, sad, hurt, and most of all, scared.
I told her there was no way in hell I'd sit back and let her take her own life, so I gave her two options. She could either want help or she would get help. So either way I was not going to lose her. I had 911 pushed in my phone ready to go at any moment. Then she texted me and said, "How can I get help? I don't want to live like this, but I sure can't give up." So after I got out of school I picked her up and we talked for quite some time.
When we got to the emergency room at 4:42 PM she signed the paper and we waited to be called. We were the first to be seen since her life was in danger. We got in there and faced our first set of problems - she's 17 and had no parent with her. At first they tried telling me there was nothing they could do, so I told them we were not moving till they agreed to help her. After almost thirty minutes of talking to other nurses and head shift leaders they decided her life was more important than the law. They also thought of a way around it - they called her mom and told her because she was in imminent danger it was legal.
After she got a bed, about two seconds later, a doctor came up and started asking questions. The first question was did she have a plan? (Mind you, I had not asked her this question because I knew, and I didn't want to hear the answer or the plan.) She answered, "Yes, I do. Take a handful of pills and go to sleep and pray I never wake up." At that moment I had heard the thing that would kill me, but I knew if I broke down it would hurt her, so I had to stay calm. How? Her feelings were more important at that time than mine. It was about her, not me, and I couldn't cause her any more pain.
They called a psych unit. It took them four hours to get the paperwork done and another thirty minutes to get there to transport her. It was hard to watch my best friend leave when all I wanted to do was hold her and tell her everything was going to be okay.
My best friend is now in the hospital getting better. They are expecting her to get out on Monday or Tuesday, depending on her response to treatment.
About every nine minutes someone dies of suicide; every ten minutes someone has to deal with it. It's never easy to help someone who is suicidal, but it sure is worth it.
I met her my freshman year. (I'm currently a junior.) She was quiet, shy, and weird. I am not and never will be quiet or shy. One day I decided she could no longer be quiet. Boy, was that a mistake! Once I got her talking I haven't gotten her to stop since. All I did was ask for a piece of paper and I wrote, "What's up", and she said, "Doing my work." I never thought we would become the best of friends. I have so many great memories that I never get to just think about, and now I can't stop thinking about them.
One night we got really bored. It was about 8:30, and she, our other friend, and I decided it was a nice time for a walk. Her mom said, "Be back by 11:30." We got back at 1:30. Between 8:30 and 1:30 we walked and talked and even laid in someone's driveway while looking at stars. We got back to her house and got blankets and fell asleep outside. At about 4:30 she woke me up and told me our friend had woken up and gone inside without us. We walked inside and saw our friend sprawled out on the bed. We picked her up and placed her on the floor and we went to sleep on the bed. This is my favorite memory because it was the first night she and I were one hundred percent real with each other.
