Simply Smelling The Sweet Perfume Of Gratitude Today
I have 86 days until the end of October when I celebrate my first year of learning and achievements at WA. Coming from a position of not knowing what I had gotten myself into to where I am today almost feels surreal.
Wealthy Affiliate (WA) has brought so much into my personal and professional life that it makes me feel like Oprah. I want to gift it to everyone!
2020 continues to be a challenging year all around but, I am determined to hold strong and continue to rise up. With life and health, anything is possible.
So Much Gratitude For Our Community
I have said over and over that, for me, our WA Community (with a capital 'C') is nothing short of priceless. The training is great but learning from the experience of others who are SO generous of spirit is something I have never encountered before.
What makes this stand out more is the diversity of our Community. No one knows or cares if you are rich or poor, tall or short, male or female, black or white, Catholic or Muslim. We just get on with helping each other move closer to our goals and objectives.
How REALLY cool is that?!?!?!
I can sit at my laptop day or night, feeling down or up and connect with someone at WA. Our Community has become an extension of my home and I truly treasure it and all of you.
Thank you!
Friendships Have Been Rooted
And then there are the friendships that have emerged. As with any community, you own tribe forms over time and there are some people who seem to emerge from the flowers in you garden like a whiff of perfume.
Partha's humour and practicality. Roy reaching out to give me an extra needed push. Jeannine who so graciously opened the door to Awin. Chrystopher who never sleeps and so selflessly shares his knowledge and expertise with us. Edwin who took the time to rekindle our love of reading and inspire us to be more than we came here to be.
This is just the tip of the iceberg actually. But a few from my tribe with whom I communicate regularly and look up to.
And then there are some members who I miss.
Members like Heidi and Taetske, whose lives have taken them away from being at WA as often. I miss their spirits, kindness and encouragement.
Foot On The Metal And Straight Ahead
With all this support, inspiration, encouragement and strength in our Community under my wings, I now press on into the last quarter of my Freshman year.
I have lots planned that I want to achieve in the next 86 days, following which Christmas and end of year plans will go into play.
It is time to take this baby onto the highway, throw in 5th gear and let her run!
Where are you on you journey?

What a beautifully poetic testament to all the we are and all that we have, together.
I totally agree with you Cassi, I have never come across a community like it.
As for my journey, I am eighteen months into it, though I am now (unexpectedly) in 'Phase II' of my own little plan. I have recently revisited my targets, or goals, and added another into the mix. It never hurts to reevaluate and hopefully this will coincide with the beginning of 'Phase III' somewhere in 2023.
Thank you, SO VERY much, Twack.
I am truly honoured to receive such unlifting words from someone I admire and look up to.
We do not discuss the leadership that we have at WA enough.
Members like you who set the bar for us and move us along with you.
Those blessings are NEVER to be taken for granted.

Now I am thanking you 🙏. I like to think that we are all in this together and travel the path alongside each other, helping and encouraging as we go.
Wow, Cassi! Your post is an "atomic bomb" of energy, motivation and inspiration. What you express is the same feelings that I have as well. The community and support at WA, are one of a kind.
When I joined WA I didn´t expect what met me in that regard.
I am very honored to be mentioned by you, and to be a factor helping you to progress further in your journey towards your goals. I have learned so much from your experience and knowledge, which you share so unselfishly with us all.
I am sooo looking forward to your continued journey and success in what you do. You are a shining beacon, showing us all in which direction to go!

I am all teary-eyed with those kind words, Roy.
I awoke this morning so very happy knowing that WA will be a permanent "home" in my life and, possibly my daughter's.
Kyle and Carson have NO IDEA of the value of the gift that they have blessed us with.
Thank you for being such a close supporter for me.
I appreciate it deeply.

Thank you,Cassi :-) Twack says it very well:
"we are all in this together and travel the path alongside each other, helping and encouraging as we go."

The sun shines brighter when I read this amount of gratitude in your post, Cassi. And today feels like a holiday. The temperature is warm, I have decided what to make for dinner (meal planning can be tedious when you've been doing for as long as I have) and their is magic in the air. I'm smiling and nothing can take this away from me
Thank you for supporting this summer breeze sensation.
Joss, those are also warm words that you share.
You are very welcome and I appreciate your kindness.
Do enjoy your dinner.
Thank you.
Cassi
Obviously, being a person of very few words, I'll keep this short and sweet.
As a Rich, Tall, White, Female Catholic (I honestly have no idea who the dude in my profile picture is) I CONCUR.
Training = I've learned a lot
Community = Priceless. I've learned more professionally and personally from others here than I could ever have imagined or hoped for.
In 86 days we'll have to work out a way to enjoy a virtual cake and a glass of bubbly.
Partha
Partha, now that I am off the floor, 😀😃, I can respond.
You . . . few words . . . no way!
I am excited about the possibilities that will unfold in the next few days.
Freshman year is tough man!
Thank you for all your support.

Hey Cassi,
Thanks for sharing these thoughts. Whether tribe, WAmily, or other term used, we definitely have a fantastic community here. I have my own group of folks here that I truly consider as friends, you're among them. Those who have gone down differing paths or direction are truly missed. I understand this, but the sense of loss is there. Mornings with my WAmily is one of the highlights of my day. While my direction has changed, my goals have not. Thanks for sharing these thoughts with us Cassi. This post is motivational to me on many different levels.
Enjoy the upcoming weekend.
Greg
Greg, you are so right.
"the sense of loss is there".
You have been at WA longer than I have but already I feel such an affinity to my "tribe". 😊
Like you, I start and end my day here.
Quite happy now to be with my laptop, an internet connection and my WAmily anywhere I am.
I am happy to know that my post was so positively impactful.
We all need these reminders from time to time.
Have a really good day today.
Cassi
