The 12.apostles? Nope.
Dear friends,
12 is an awesome number. Definitely. But let me come to its awesomeness a bit later. This number actually signifies the number of days I've spent as a member of WA. And you know what? These 12 days have honestly been one of the most interesting days of my life (which as such has already been quite interesting). Why? Read on... :-)
The number 12 reflects to the ancient meaning of 12 being the number of perfection. It can be found in most religions and cultures as being very significant and symbolic: there are twelve 'Jyotirlingas' in Hindu Shaivism; in the Hindu epic Mahabharata, the Pandavas and their wife Draupadi go to the forest for 12 years of exile; in ancient Greek religion the Twelve Olympians were the principal gods of the Pantheon; the Bible states that Jacob had 12 sons, who were the progenitors of the Twelve Tribes of Israel; the New Testament describes twelve apostles of Jesus, and so on...
So, for me these 12 days in WA have been perfect 12 days as they marked a wonderful new chaper of my life. Hopefully, this chapter is going to unfold nicely and I'll have the determination, persistence, inspiration, imagination and above all patience to fulfill my dream of becoming an online entrepreneur-ess. :-)
In this short period I have learned so much thanks to many of you. Guys, your trainings, blog posts, links, personal messages, answers to questions... have been, are, and surely will continue to be incredibly helpful!
However, need to admit that sometimes I did look like this:
(That's not me in the photo, but you get the idea lol!)
To expand on my WA experience: I am truly humbled by this community's willingness to UNCONDITIONALLY help each other. And that is only one of many beautiful things that keep me going, along with acceptance, encouraging... You really are the best! Thank you for being here for me, for each other. Kyle & Carson, you rock!
The spirit of this community, and of WA as a company and the open education project, is truly incredible. Being a deeply spiritual person that I am, it is a total surprise to me that so many of you live and act in such a positive and spiritually advanced manner. It is a huge honor to be here with all of you.
See ya around...
With a big smile,
Vesna
P.S. & by the way: My ranking has 'dropped' from 55K to 1361 on today's date. Still am not quite sure what it means, but I guess it's good. ;-)

Hmmm, the number 12 will have more meaning to me now. Thank you, Vesna, for your little history lesson and your tidbits of inspiration. FYI, your rank number signifies your importance within the community. The lower the number the better. Keep doing what your doing and before too long, we will be asking you for help.
Have a blessed weekend!

Hey Ken, glad you liked the blog.
Yes, I figured the lower the better ranking. And it is funny - I was away for a couple of days and wooosh - it went up again. So, need to stay active, huh? :)
Well, my priority is now creating content for my webpage. so..... ;)
See ya around...
Hey Vesna, the ranking here is how active you are with the WA community, like answering questions, reading blogs, providing training, etc. when I first joined I was very active in the community. My tank was in the top 50. However my website suffers, not any time to add additional content. So now I tend to website first, WA community second.
Cheers, best of luck!

Nice article. Chris
I so like how we both came "on site" simultaneously, Chris! After being away for a while (and the last thing I've done was to look at your site) - PING! We're here. Ah, I'd simply call it

Thank you for your tip, very useful, but still I do not know how it works actually. Never mind...it's not so important.
What is important it the amazing-ness of this platform, people on it, the whole deal. Am sooo grateful for all of you, guys!
Glad you like the article. :)
Thank you for reading.
Hi Vesna, I have been away for a few days, but my ranking has still gone up by 8 !
I think the workings are as hard to figure as Google.
