What if by some great misfortune, you ended up without family, a ward of the court, and had to live much of your childhood in Foster Care. Sadly, This happens every single day.

Now fast-forward, imagine living in several foster homes over the years, the set backs and disappointments, how might you feel? Would you have some self-doubt, feel inadequate, and might you wonder why there was never a beautiful family, a home found to be a good fit for you? Stay with me now...

Then just before you are about to "age out" of the foster Care System altogether, something quite amazing happens! Seemingly, out of nowhere, you get placed with the most amazing, loving, caring, attentive and nurturing family ever, and they want to make their new family of seven, complete and official, they adopt you and instantly you have parentsW(WA), siblings, aunts, uncles, coussins, and all is well with your world!

Okay, hold on, I'm writing this post, and I realize it sounds pretty bleak, but if you know me you know it had to finish with an amazing and happy ending! Although this story was a fictitious one things like this really do happen every day. But I wrote this post because it sort of reminded me of how I myself, have felt in the past and how I feel today!

I have dreamed of having my own online business for quite sometime now, a monetized blog! But hard as I've tried, and as much money as I have spent trying to figure it out, invariably something would get in my way and shut the process down. Over the years I began to have doubts that my dreams of having an online business would ever be realized. I began to self-doubt, feel inadequate, skepticism moved in and I began to wonder if there was ever going to be a space, an online home, fit for me. Stay with me now...

Then just before I was about to "age out" on hopes of learning the online business scene (I'm not getting any younger), I'm telling you, something really remarkable happened! Seemingly, out of nowhere, I stumbled and slid into the most amazing, loving, caring, sharing, attentive, nurturing, and empowering online family ever! They are the Wealthy Affiliate Family (WA), and I now proudly wear their name! !t's official and complete, they have adopted me as one of their own, WA iis my parent company, and I have siblings galore! Finally, just about all is well in my world, keeping it real! :)
