Happy Holidays

Sending out Hello's to the new followers and Happy Holidays to everyone. I've lost count of the various holidays we are either in the midst of or going into. Or coming out of. Oh dear!I'm taking a few days off to enjoy the season and hope you do the same. As hectic a time as it is, it is also important not to lose sight of the importance of spending time with those folks who are important to you.Relax, recharge, regroup and enjoy the chance to breathe a bit. Ciao!

One Step At A Time

As the holidays approach, and we get busy being busy, it is easy to lose sight of what we are attempting to accomplish. I've seen loads of posts about Black Friday and how to capitalize on that. There are also loads of email from all sorts of places reminding us of the necessity (questionable) to hurry, hurry, hurry.Personally, this is the time of year I avoid ( and I mean AVOID) going into a mall or store unless I absolutely have to. Why? Because the atmosphere is not conducive to actually

Pondering Life's Twists and Turns

Life has been a bit weird lately. I've been a follower of Justin Scarred's for over a year and occasionally Adam The Woo as well. Recently Adam decided to stop filming and posting vlogs every day simply due to the need to not only regain his life, but also to regroup, re-energize and to try new things. A touch of just plain exhaustion also came into play, I think. Justin has been having a touch of health issues that have caught him by surprise. Nothing extremely serious, but enough that it

Not Quite November

It has been an interesting few months. I've created two websites and continue to work on ways to develop them. I've made it thru the social media classes and have found myself stepping back to rethink, review and plan.I've always tried to be sure to recognize and acknowledge my limitations. I've also had to keep an eye on my tendency to take on more than I can chew. For those of you who are new to this Wealthy Affiliate adventure, I strongly urge you to do the same. Yes the world is your o

One Step at a time.

Quiet Day, Too

Like many folks, I am having a quiet day. I've been working on house projects as well as letting my next review post percolate in the back of my brain. I find I do my best writing if I let it do its thing before I sit down to put words to paper (or keyboard).I've been thinking about the folks I know who are in midst of the storms and have been sending prayers out. I've also been thinking about a wonderful paralyzed kitten who has just arrived at her Forever Home across the country from where

Breathing Room

Happy Saturday evening and a Happy Labor Day weekend to those who celebrate.I've spent the week dealing with household issues and AdSense issues. Neither of which were actually 100% resolved, but are progressing.I had an epiphany last week. I've have had an Etsy shop for a little over a year with a small amount set aside monthly for advertising. Got my statement for last month and was blown away at the amount of traffic that went thru. I attribute it to an increased visibility due to one of

Recharging Batteries

It has been an odd week. Come to think of it, it is only Wednesday.Monday's eclipse was (at least in my neck of the woods) not much of a wow, but more of a hmmmm. I was glad to see Justin Scarred posted a great vlog about his experience with Adam the Woo on YouTube on Tuesday. They guys were in Idaho and had an amazing time. That vlog actually made me feel like I was at least experiencing the eclipse instead of a potential storm. I am told that the next one, in 7 years, will be total in my

Structure and Organization

Or things that no longer apply now that I don't do the 9 - 5 thing anymore. I spent over 30 years running to meet other people's schedule. I had to start work at a certain time, so I had to be on the road at a certain time. In my last job, due to issue with parking, I had to be at work effectively 1 - 2 hours before the usual start time. Just for a freaking parking spot.Now, however, I no longer run on someone else's schedule.I'm having to learn to organize myself, my time and my attention

Results So Far

I remarked in another post today that I feel like I've been working on or with Google all week. This is my way of saying it has been a rather intense week due to some issues with comments on my websites, setting up Google+ for a new email account and relearning it.It seems to me that more time has elapsed since I first joined WA because the work has been intense and involving. I'm not complaining, but it had been a long time since I was up and working at 2 in the a.m. because my brain and I w
