Gratitude And Success

This blog is a thank you and a celebration. For those of you who may have read my previous 2 blogs, you will know that my father-in-law has been very poorly and today finally he is at peace. My new husband has been away a lot since the beginning of this year to be with him and I've had to not only keep things normal for my own daughter, but also look after my step kids who would rather spend their time with us on a weekend than with their own mother even if their father isn't at home.

While all the kids have been brilliant, it's been tough for me, doubting my strength, feeling angry because I had no emotional support, feeling selfish for feeling angry and beating myself up for not being the perfect wife and bearing all this with a smile and unflinching selflessness, and yes, even feeling huge relief today when the end finally came.

However, the one thing that's kept me focussed has been this community...not necessarily having one on one contact with any one person, but simply reading blog posts, commenting on people's questions and yes, even watching training videos and watching my WA ranking climb to sub-1000.

I know rankings aren't important and it's how much money you earn from your site but the very fact that little action steps I have taken have done something positive means a heck of a lot, so I just want to extend my thanks and gratitude for this community, training and money-making platform. Kyle and Carson, you guys have kept me sane over the last few weeks and given me something to focus on. Thank you.
