I should've written this since yesterday. Have you ever been on cloud nine and forgot to come back down? That was my happiness issue, lol. When I saw my 6 month badge, I jumped up screaming through the house like I won an award. Well, I did!


It doesn't seem that long ago. Wow time sure does move fast. I never thought I would make it this far with all the bumps in the road til now. You can see those struggles from my blog. However, I didn't allow it to detour me from moving forward. Yes, it is moving slow but I am moving forward.

I have been teaching myself so many things that I feel I should've learned in school. Well, my school-days are not so vivid ;-)

Since last month, I have written over 30,000 words. That is so awesome to me. It took me almost a month to write my first post when I started.

I am watching my life change right before my eyes. Because of Wealthy Affiliate I have become closer to my family; became alkaline vegan; and lost over 50lbs that I gain 6 months ago.

You never think making a new choice in your life could change the whole aspect of your life. Mine has and still is. In the beginning, I struggled so much and I couldn't figure out why. The problem that I figured out that it was myself. Why I said myself? It was my mindset that was seriously off.


The fear of not knowing was creating a problem. My motivation was there but the fear was there as well. In the beginning fear was winning. I guess that's why some may allow it to win without knowing.

The difference with me is that I don't want to go back to the same routine of working long hours for nothing for someone else. My father left this earth wanting for all his children to be successful in some kind of way. However, it is not many of us left.

Therefore, I want to make my father wish come true. I want him to rest knowing that his children are going to be okay successfully.

OK, enough of me being in my feelings ;-)

What I Have Learned Within 6 Months

Like I mentioned, I am moving slower than others. However, I am learning SOMETHING. Writing seems like the worse thing to conquer here in WA. Well, it was for me. Now, I'm trying to find more time to get all my thoughts down ;-). I want to write. I yearn to write. It actually makes me feel better. Does writing make you feel better?

Creating my website: was like learning how to draw all over again for me. I can draw very well on paper. Give me something to draw, it will take me forever to PERfected it. I never thought of myself as a perfectionist but when it comes to my drawings I am. This is why getting my website up together took far too long.

When my first website began to develop I noticed, I was all over the place. I couldn't keep focused on a particular plugin or theme. Everything was shining and playful, lol. It's like going in the Play Store on your phone.

I have finally got that feeling out the way and focused on the big picture. How everything will work better for my audience? I started a second website, things became more understanding.

Images: Let me say thank you, thank you, thank you, Kyle and Carson for adding images to SiteContent. It took me hours just to find the right images for my posts. When I understood the images in SiteContent, I noticed my images were the wrong size on previous content. I couldn't figure out how to fix it, even with the videos and lessons on how to. Frustration can make things confusing when they are not.

Before I became frustrated about something else, I moved on to something else. Until, one day, I couldn't stop looking at my images being the improper size on my website. I guess, the information was sinking in my thick head ;-). I figured out how to fix it all of a sudden. However, I am still learning things as I move on.

All In All

The best thing I have encountered in WA is the members. I have made some friendships with some members here, where they feel close as family. Love ya mums ;-)


Some I've sent PMs more than communicating within the community. I know, that's wasn't good.

Me being shy is like opening a clam. You have to maneuver it to open, however, I am slowly opening. Like I said before, WA is changing my life all around me, although, WA is just on my computer, tablet, and phone ;-).

Thank you WA for allowing me to be a part of the family.

PS. I got a desk today. Yay me! No more using my end table for a desk anymore, lol. That's what I mean, improving all the way around :-). Even just the little things like a desk.
