WOW!.....

It"s been almost a year to this day since I deactivated my account here and A lot in my life has changed, some for the good and some for the well... not so good. However, I am grateful for everything that happened in my life and I know I can change any circumstance to achieve what I truly desire.

Just a few things that have happened, and why I left in the first place.

Honestly I can't really remember why I left. I'm pretty sure it was because the $50 a month was getting a little steep for me at the time and I have a tendency to leave a "project" and just try something else when I'm not getting what I want fast enough. I've been "Making Money' online for lets just say 3 years now. By making money I mean like maybe $100 a month if that, just dabbling with referral programs and weird things.

Back in 2018 I was really excited about WA when I joined, and was fully committed to my website. I had a lot of fun with it and learned soooooo much! For some God awful reason I left.

Almost a year later I'm here online again searching online for ways to make money online and I kept googling WA and kept debating if I wanted to come back or not.

After a few days of debating I took out my CC and reset my password because of course I had no Idea what it was.

Well, here I am again! This time you bet my A$$ I'm staying. I could go on and on about what has happened with my life in the past 1-year Iv'e been away from WA, but for now I'll sum it up as quickly as possible.

I started a small part-time job with a company my dad works for. I started Grapghic Design for a Register Tape Advertising company. You know. The receipts you get at the grocery store and the little ads on the back?...Yep, I create those little ads for a company here in NE Ohio. It's a significantly small business and by no means am I some master Graphis Designer, but I've always had a knack for it. My dad encouraged me to try it out. I'ts pretty cool and I like it. I'ts not a lot of work maybe 1-2 hours a week at $15 an hour so I'm literally making about $45 a month but oh well just thought I would fill you in.

When I was here back in 2018 I had my little boy and was an "Army Wife" living in KS with my amazing husband Dan. Since then, we had another baby! A beautiful, smart, amazing little girl! We are so blessed our little family is complete.

I'm also taking a small certification course on Photographing People. I say "people" because I'm a great landscape photographer but I've never really been into people and I never really wanted to be either. I thought that's where the money is made and I should definitely should learn it and start booking some photo shoots to make an income for myself and my family. I think I'm going to like it more than I thought. Ultimately I'm one to make money online in all sorts of ways. I love the freedom and the possibilities, so once I get my blog rolling l will make my "photographing people" more of a hobby rather than a money making opportunity.

We moved back to our home state of Ohio... Were not in Kansas anymore. HAHA I had too! My husband ETS'ed out of the Army so were back in the Civilian world. It's OK. we kind of miss the Military Life, but we're adjusting I guess. We really want to move to MI in about 3-5 years just for a fresh start in life and to finally raise our family and be stable.

As I said some not so good things have happened since I've been away. One of the bigger challenges have been living with my husbands parents. When we moved back to Ohio from leaving the army in Kansas we figured we would stay at his parents house for a few months to visit and then when he got a job we would find a house and be on with our Mary lives until we wanted to migrate to MI.

6 months later we're still living at his parents house and we're starting to really feel the stress. He didn't end up finding a job that was the best for us at the time, but time was running out and money! he needed to take it and the pay was about 20K less that what he was making in the army and I have still been a stay at home mom since he went active duty, so our income fell drastically. We couldn't afford to move out of his parents house .

Just recently we had a huge plan to use our tax money to pay off about 7k of dept that I primarily had so we could go get a loan for a house and move out finally! Low and behold the Department of Education took all 10k of our tax money to pay towards my husbands student Debt. That's a whole different story... but here we are 6 months into living with his parents and we get hit with this freaking disaster. So were back to square one.

I devised a new plan that will diffidently get us out of here within 5 months and at the 4-month mark we will start our process of applying for a home loan and hopefully move out shortly after that. We want to finally start our life here back in OH with our two kids in a house of our own, get our stuff out of storage and be a family again.

After this Tax situation happened I really thought to myself if I didn't quit a year ago I could probably have been make a great deal of money online already and none of this would have happened. I could have carried the family on and helped significantly with finances, but nooo my stupid self had to give up and fuss with stupid quick fixes with more making money online stuff. I'n not saying that any of it was bad but here I am with nothing to show but a few hundred dollars here and there from some app referral program or something small I was fussing with.

Ugh, I have a lot here and probably scratched the surface as to what has been happening in my life since I felt here the first time, but I can tell you one thing. I'm not leaving ever again! like never!

I'm going to succeed and have the life I've always dreamed of and make a great deal on money right from my trusty lap top and have the best life! I know it is possible but I will not give up this time!

So here I am, back and ready to never give up. I've missed you WA community!

hello again!

P.S. Please excuse my writing ability, I'm kind of rusty and just flew this together as a blog post here!
