From Vatican Whistle-blower to Midnight Post Creator

After twenty years in Europe, including fourteen in Rome, Italy, it's nice to be back in America again. I must have walked past Saint Peter's Basilica a thousand times. But I'm living my second life now --and Wealthy Affiliate is now playing an evolving part in it. WA is the diamond I've discovered. Haven't made a dime yet, but I'm not worried. Happily moving along in the system, I just finished my sixth post in the niche of my life.

Perhaps some background may shed light on my appreciation for WA.

I spent twenty-eight years in a wanna-be, Jesuit-like Catholic religious order. Traveled everywhere, globally. For a long stretch of time I even operated as the General Secretary of the thing. The big problem was this: that Institute was a veritable cult run by a sociopath. I ended up as a suicidal Catholic priest, locked up for over three years in a cramped apartment a stone's throw from the Vatican.

It's a long story but eventually God granted me the courage to escape and whistle-blow in the Vatican. It's a harrowing story I sincerely disclosed in my memoir: Vatican Intervention. After the Pope Benedict XVI granted me a dispensation of my priesthood, I moved on.

For the past nine years I've worked as a hospice spiritual counselor in Phoenix, Arizona. Simultaneously, my midnight searches for a way to make money on line began in 2010, when I returned to America. I've tried almost a dozen things.

Green to the whole on-line-money-making-universe, I ended in failure repeatedly. It was the same story each time. I either dead-ended by a lack of education or by spending myself to death by continuously depositing my hard-earned cash in some financial guru's pocket to upgrade my possibility of making money. You know the story. Enter Wealthy Affiliate.

Now, I feel like I'm enrolled in a hands-on school. Just what I needed! Just finished two months of studies. Within days, I'll be finished with the second course. Within a forty-day period I posted six articles on my own niche website. I used to be scared of computers.

I work from around 2:30 am to 5:30 am on WA stuff. Then, if I can, I'll take a 30 or 60 minute nap. Once up, a black cup of strong coffee starts my eight hour workday as a hospice chaplain. I fill my day with visiting the sick, the dying, and the bereaving. And then there's the medicare charting. I have a wonderful wife from Ukraine, where we married. There's also our two boys, who are nine and seven years old. I'm in bed by 8:00 pm so I can pop up at 2;00 am truly excited to invest in my WA time.

Any frustrations? Yes. I'd rather be running than walking. But I must keep putting bread on the table with a regular job. My hope is to grow into a stable monthly income from website work at home. Yet, I understand that I must first focus on the groundwork.

I've chosen a niche that I'm passionate about. I want to help people better understand love and how to increase love in their lives:
