I'm Back!

Bad news?

We all know that things happen for a reason. I relate this all back to Romans 8:28. But it has been since December 17 that I have written a Blog and I figured that the Best way to get back in the Saddle again was write a new one.

September 2018 I came on board WA. Went to work immediately. That came to a halt on October 10, at 1015, when hurricane Michael roared through Florida. Most of my story since then is in my 4 previous blogs which I will try not to get into.

I was in Panama City FL until Feb 6 and I left and headed back to North Little Rock AR, My home. I won't get into the details of my status at that time, because it is only a reminder of the Past, which I am putting behind me.

Arrived back in Little Rock Feb 7 with no place to go and called a long time friend and have been sleeping on his sofa. :) Been going to Panera Bread daily using the WiFi and finally getting something done. Things since then have gone up and down.

Knowing from the beginning that it may take months to get income coming in when I started, My first 6 months are almost up. hahaha So much for that.

For reasons that I was afraid or so hard-headed to accept, my health began going down. At the insistence of my friend, I made a doctor's appointment, first time since Jan 1999. All of these years I have had no health challenges except about 20 lbs overweight. No drugs, compared to 90% of my high school classmates. Going to the gym 4-5 days a week. I Felt great. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," was my motto.

Tues Mar 26 I went to the Doc. Briefly my breathing had become so laboured that I could not walk 15 feet without being totally exhausted. Going up stairs took forever. And these things had been building up over the last 6 months but I had not been paying attention.

I will not go into all the details but I will say that when I left his office I had been give one steroid shot, prescription for antibiotics and presc for an Inhaler and a decision to quit smoking. With a revisit in 2 weeks.

Now for the GOOD News

I have tagged a number of people in this Blog from WA that have become important to me since probably a month after the hurricane, so we will say the first of December. You have been my life line to WA through the email notifications I have been receiving. When I was first able to check my email after the hurricane. 2 1/2 weeks later, I had over 300 notifications from some of you and many others. It was through this that I started following people and gaining followers. It is what brought the attention to me that WA is one big Community.

Reading your notifications and blogs and interacting with you all over the last few months especially have helped keep my head above water. In fact, it was the end of Jan before I was able to really get back with the program while I was still in Panama City. , was able to get a stable internet connection back in Little Rock made it even better.

The Inspiration that I received especially from the many inspiring stories I read, brought me to not only the decision to go to the Doc, but on Sunday afternoon the decision that my inner body needed a rest and a cleansing and from experience I knew the best way to do that was to do a Total Fast. My past history on Fasting is several 5 and 10 day Fasts, a couple of 20 day Fasts and one 30 day Fast over the last 10 or 15 years. Always excellent results afterwards. This time I decided 40 days. Today will complete day 5 at 1500 pm. The first 48-60 hours is always the hardest. So I am past that plateau. I will keep everyone informed as to progress. BTW, my weight at the Docs office was 222. Keep that figure in mind. hahaha

The second thing was that Tuesday nite, after taking the antibiotics and using the inhaler 4 times during the day, I had the best nights sleep that I have experienced in many, many months.

I had been struggling to write content for several days on my Niche website to prevent getting canned again by Amazon, but nothing was forth coming. Tuesday afternoon was no better.

When I arose Wed morning the first thought after I got moving around was to Go Back to Basics. I decided to start all over and get back to content later. Before the hurricane I had completed 90% of Phase 1 and 40% of Phase 2 of BootCamp. I made the decision to go back, start again and Finish all 7 phases.

The first site I built was the Affiliate site but it didn't get too far before the storm or after I started my Niche site. With the knowledge I have gained over the last 4 months from all of you everything now seems simpler. I have flagged and saved Many of the emails because they were questions in my mind before I ever received them. And Yahweh was bringing these blessings to me through this time.

So today, I am officially Back. And that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

One Question

I have decided to rebuild my Affiliate site from the ground up. I only had 3 articles on it which I copied and saved in Site Content. And it is on my own domain.
My question is? Do I need to delete the entire old website before I even begin setting up the new one. I am trying to come up with a new name now which I need before I begin to build the site. I don't really want to set it up on rubix and then move it.

I don't like the ideas of the redirects and since I know how to get postings Indexed faster on Google now it would simpler.
