My First Week with WA

It's official-- I made it through week one with WA! Wooohooo!

It's not that I easily give up, no, not at all--my middle name is TENACIOUS, Lol! And it's not that the WA training is hard, far from it! But like all things new, the learning process can be a little overwhelming at times, and that's what worried me.

I work over 60 hours a week as a home health care nurse, and then on top of that, I try to fit in a Reiki healing practice, as well. But even in being sooo busy, in the last 7 days I created a website, found my niche, bought a domain, found all my keywords, found and researched the first product I wanted to promote, wrote a blog, uploaded pictures for my site, commented on other members blogs AND, most importantly, connected with some AMAZING people here at WA who are now all part of my network! whew!

This last week, as tired and as busy as I was, I found that the energy here at WA made me even MORE tenacious, determined, and excited than I have ever been in a very long time! And the reason for that is...HOPE!

Like many starting members here at WA, I struggle from paycheck to paycheck. I have always prided myself on being able to 'pay on time'. No matter what my situation, financial or otherwise, I found a way to make ends meet and create the abundance needed to make the rent and pay my bills. However, the last few months have become increasingly more challenging to do so. While I always try to focus on staying positive and in a state of gratitude for all things, one can't help but worry from time to time and feel that the hole you are in is just getting deeper and deeper.

Today, I paid my rent, and while I still managed to pay it on time, I only have $2.00 left in my checking account until Friday. But you know what? it's okay, because the hole is not so deep anymore, hell, there's not even a hole! There's just....HOPE!

Thanks WA, for being the light that guided me! Wooohooo!
