Hey guys!
Happy New Year WA family. Today is a decision I made last night, New Years Eve 2025, stepping up, stepping over and stepping into 2026. I am tired of the delays, the distractions, the moments where I don't want to do anything productive in 2025. I made a conscious decision that I must be INTENTIONAL with my life and all areas of my life to be productive and do better and see results.
I am committing to small, daily, consistent action in WA in 2026.
Bible says that hope deferred makes the heart sick but when the desire comes, it becomes a tree of life. I spoke at church last night on how we have moments where we lost our appetite and hunger for the things of God. How we lost our hope. I didn't have an appetite or desire to create change in my surroundings or be productive to see the manifestations of my work, life, etc. I was asked recently the question: How hungry are you?
I didn't have the desire nor was I really hungry or have an appetite to learn to be productive or gain skills to become a better me. I was snacking here and there with no consistency. I was snacking on small things but not truly investing in myself. I was not able to sit down and really enjoy a three course meal because I was snacking too much. When you receive a three course meal, it means you got an appetite and you are starving to receive and enjoy this meal. You are ready to learn skills or knowledge from the appetizer, to the main entree to the dessert. Once the three course meal is complete, your desire and hunger is satisfied temporarily. Its a cycle we go through daily.
This is the year that I am tossing the deferred hope where the heart become sick but I am now making the decision to have this desire to become a tree of life. When we strive to become one, we can see improvements in every area of our life. Our hearts becomes healthier, our minds, body, and soul becomes healthier and vital to start producing fruits of the tree .

This year is accountability for me for I want to plant, water, prune the tree of life in me. I want to see myself producing fruits of consistency, discipline, prayer, compassion, long suffering, love and so much more benefits from scriptures that needs to be in our lives so we may produce the fruits for ourselves and others who may receive the fruits of our tree.
Bible says in Revelations 22:2 that the tree of life bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
If we can bear fruit each month, be productive each month, our fruit produced and the leaves from the tree can heal nations and people.
We all have our own stories and experiences. Some of us will share and others will not. Our life stories in book format, blog, podcast format or any other format will touch nations we never thought would touch. It will be a touch, a healing balm, a touch of wisdom passed down, a new way of thinking or inspiration to cause one to go in the right direction. It is our job to plant a seed in someone so they can get watered, pruned and become the best version of themselves as we have. We should never stop growing. We should always be watered, pruned, and gather the fruits of the harvest for others to receive.
I'm determined to be accountable, vulnerable, consistent, responsible, and determined to make and complete small tasks in WA each day to show that if one can accomplish an online business through WA, so can I. Small steps towards seeing the success of our online businesses is better than big steps where we may miss a step and fail having to start over again. but again it is good to learn from our mistakes and improve as we move through this WA journey.
As another WA member said, if I don't show up or participate in chat or respond in challenges , send me a private message, knock on my "door", call me out.
We all need to be reminded and use the support system we have here in WA. I have not met personally anyone in WA but one of my goals is having the opportunity to make 50 sales to fly to Vegas and meeting other WA members from all walks of life would be an ultimate goal for me.
2026, I am going forward with intentionality, consistency, and determination to become a producing tree on my WA journey doing one task, one comment, lesson or action logged a day.
God bless you all, WA
