Desperation
Desperation “When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on! "
Abraham Lincoln
Desperation calls for desperate measures, Ab said it very well "tie a note and hang on!" But what if you can't hang on any longer.
I feel like I am getting to the end of my rope the clime is to steep and I just might have to call it quits not because I want to, I have worked too hard getting to where I am. Maybe this is premature but I don't think so. I just have the month of April to work things out and their is no way in hoping hell I think I can hang on any longer. As the saying goes Sink or swim and I am going both at this moment. I have been in this position before and their was a rainbow at the end of the tunnel.
This time I think it's not their, I have moved twice and down sized, this time I have no where go. All because of my own stupidity, sad, but true, I can't say that it anybodies fault but my own.
I was scammed a couple months ago and I fell into the trap. I dipped into the household budget thinking that it would all come back and then some. But alas that wasn't to be and no I am paying for it dearly.
We have been living on borrowed time. I am behind on all my bills, that I can work out, but their are a couple of things that are showing up that I have no controlled over. My car insurance, credit card and WA. I will have to make sacrifices and one of them will be WA because I can't think clearly how to do it otherwise.
The month of May is going to be a very sad month. There has been some very positive aspects that I am very grateful for. Because of my work and research that I have done online and theme being always a better way to your health as mother nature intended.
Most of you know that I always sign off with always a better way and "their is". I never gave up on that and I found it. Now my health is recovering and that of my family. I have grown with WA in ways that are incredible, these are blessings. I will regret not being able to finish my work nor make a better way for others, that dream has come a full circle.
I have made wonderful friends all across the globe. I have been well blessed in many ways here at WA their are no word to describe it. No words to tell you all how grateful I am for your support and friendship. I think this will be my last blog and farewell I don't think I will be in a good frame of mind from here on in.
I didn't expect to write this today it just happened but maybe it is for the best. People move on in their lives and just maybe their is something just around the corner for me how knows! I will leave that in the hands of the Heavenly Father, he knows best. I am not giving up just stepping back and taking stock of my life their is no other way, as I see it!
I have been through a lot of tribulations in my life and this is just one more, I always come through and seem to be better for it. Don't feel bad for me because I don't feel bad for myself I am not one to wallow in self-pity.
Always a better way
sending blessing your way

Linda, I have really enjoyed watching your site build and posts. I have been up and down several times in my life, and over 2 years ago made a huge investment mistake that has caused major issues I regret. I have been working through these and will continue for another few years. I am fortunate to have close friends locally who believe in me and now things are turning around. Whatever happens, keep your faith, and allow him to guide you further into making the choices he wants. You will become stronger through the experience. You have a lot started that you can come back to.
God Bless,
Bill

Hi Linda,
How long have you been a member of WA from? Have you not been able to make a success of what they are teaching here?
Good question Michael, I see you have been here for a very short time and we all want to make money but my plan is a long term niche in health and it take time to establish.
I wish you well here at WA because it is the best platform you will ever become part of. You will understand this better as time moves on. thank you for your interest.

Hi Linda
Don't despair. Take care of things most important to your well being.
I don't understand why you would go into your budget to pay for an obvious expensive product and not pay WA yearly? I am only assuming that you are paying WA monthly.
You are always welcomed back to WA when the time comes. Remember that.
Chuck
I am on a yearly plan Chuck and it will be due in May even if I come down to paying monthly for a time I am still in the whole can't afford to do that. It will take me a good amount of time to clime out thanks for your concern. I have wonderful friends here at WA and I know I will be able to return and I hope I count you as one of them.
Always a better way, being an optimist
Linda

Hello Linda,
I am sorry you are going through troubled times. Life (God) throws test at us all the time.
I have to say tho. It is always darkest before the dawn and if I would say one thing to you it is NEVER GIVE UP.
I have this saying written on my white board in my home office so that every time I feel like things are getting difficult I can look up and remind myself to push forward.
I understand that financial circumstances can impede on ones growth here at WA, but you can find a way. Blessings come in all sizes.
A little story about myself :
I moved to Indonesia about 1 year ago to be with my wife. I came here on a tourist visa for only 6months. I brought my whole life with me. I have nothing to go back to "I know it's a bold move" but I did it with the mentality of I must succeed.
Coming up to my 4th month and my bank account slowly decreasing I felt panic. I thought "Oh NO! what am I going to do!"
Then a blessing came my way. I was in Semarang in Indonesia on a trip as a volunteer to give a speech about the importance of recycling to the kids and adults of Indonesia in that area. (I also came here to help volunteer with environmental issues and give speeches)
when during that trip I received a call from a foreigner I met one day at Immigration. He told me there is an agency that is looking to hire a native speaker to teach English.
I accepted and long story short, I am now a teacher here and able to pay my bills and afford the WA program.
In addition to this I am working twice as hard on my site and things are looking up. I'm moving on to my second year here and I couldn't be happier.
The point of all of this is you never know what will happen tomorrow and you need to have faith and patients. I truly hope things turn around for you. And NEVER GIVE UP!
All the best Linda.
