Fingers Crossed and Good Vibes
I just wanted to give you all an update since my last blog
Not much has change financially for my husband and I since my last post
I only have around 5 days left to find the money for next months subscription, and I have been working my butt off learning as much as I can about marketing to try and make things happen
As of yet, my online store Boho Magick Emporium, has yet to have made a sale. I have a link in my contact section if anyone is interested in taking a look
But I'm not giving up...no matter what life throws at me
Let me tell you about my last week or so
The day after my last post I was woken up around 3am with the most awful pain in my uterus. I know my body well and after working in my previous job in the emergency department (which I had to leave after 3 serious on the job incidents, resulting in with me having to learn to deal with PTSD because of them), I knew this was not good and had to get it looked at immediately
My poor hubby had to take a day off work and drive me to the next local town, half an hour away (because I had had a bad experience at our local hospital and I wasn't going to take any chances)
We have been trying for years to start a family. So taking care of my reproductive system was highly important. I am hoping we will be blessed with a child soon
I brought a note pad and my iphone with me because I knew I had to keep busy and did not want to waste any precious time - much to my hubby's disgust. So between prodding, poking, blood tests, urine tests and ultrasounds I kept on researching
Unfortunately they could not find out what is causing me the pain, but they did find out I had high inflammation markers and was given a referral to see a specialist.
On the drive back home, I received news from my aunt, that a family friend who had been battling cancer, had passed. Bless his soul I will miss him and his lovely heart. I took a few days off to rest and grieve
Then I heard from my sister on Saturday, that a school mate of ours took his life on Friday morning
This was a first for my sister and she turned to me because I had been through this 4 times before with several of my friends. It's hard being 5 hours away from family members. I couldn't put my arms around her, to comfort her physically, but thanks to techology we could speak to each other face to face
Yeah it's been a tough few weeks
I'm not a quitter
Like, as many other good people around me, have experienced themselves - life happens!
How we deal with the difficult parts, shows us what type of character we are
I know by putting in the hard work and the long hours, that great things will eventually happen
I have belief and faith in myself...patience well that's another thing all together - and I promise you, I am working on this
Since my last post and with everthing else going on in my life, I still managed to continue with my course and I have also been leaning a lot about social marketing and networking
Pintrest, I'm still trying to get the hang of...but I will get there
Everyone is raving about it. So I will definitely spend time learning all I can about it
I have placed an ad for my store on Face Book and Instagram. Fingers crossed I will get some hits and hopefully it will convert to sales
I do have one question - If I cannot make the next monthly payment, what do I still have access to on the WA website?
I really want to keep blogging and hopefully I can still access wordpress
Hopefully I make some sales soon and will not need to worry about this
So that is a quick update for you all
Take care and stay beautiful
Love

Hi, my gosh that's a lot to deal with I am so sorry. I am glad you do not plan on giving up. 5 days at WA to make up the subscription fee. You know I wish you all the very best. We all work together here maybe we as a community can come together and come up with something. As far as your inflammation is concerned fruits are good, celery, certain herbs like sage and turmeric curium, fish oil, Salmon, B Vitamins(perhaps a multivitamin with the B vitamins), cinnamon perhaps with some chamomile tea. I wish you well Carmela
Thank you my friend. I have been researching ways that diet can help reduce inflammation as well. Great minds think alike
My dear Carmela, what an eventful last few weeks for you. I have added you to my prayer list (I hope you don't mind). God and I are buds! Sometimes He makes me wait for the answers and more times the n not, the answer comes without ever speaking a word! My faith has been tested many times in my life. When my daughter was killed, my life was forever changed and I had to hang on for dear life. I felt myself falling, but I was being carried and never hit rock bottom. I know all these things are dreadful. I would hate to lose the WA community as it has been my inspiration, reality, and solace during storms. I hope you will reach down deep and hold on dear lady. My feeling is that you are incredibly strong and self-reliant. I have faith, we all do that you will come through and on top!! 💕
Yay Us Indeed!! 🌟

Thank you Liz. I believe in the power of prayer myself. I will never give up. I may have to step down from premium for a few months but I will still be working away in the background xx
Hang in there and never give up. We all have bumps in the road sometimes but be strong my friend bad things don't last always.
Hi there! I wanted to reach out and let you know that I understand some of the frustration and heartache you are going through. It always seems like it comes in threes. (Ugh!) First of all, I can't tell you how to make the next payment; however, I hope the community will rally so you can stay onboard. Second, I want to remind you to breathe. (I know, it sounds stupid, but...) When you are stressed, it is harder for your body to recover, and if you and your husband are looking to add to the family, stress will take it's toll. Third, I am so sorry for your losses. Cancer and suicide suck! I hope you and your family can come together, and love each other through these times. Let me know if you need anyone to talk to. It seems this community is pretty open and honest (and cool!), where we can get some answers to these questions. We are all here for you.
Hello and thank you for your kind words
I very much appreciate them
I have been taking time to care for myself as well
Every day I take some time out and will spend 30 minutes to meditate and will also give myself Reiki healing before bed every night
When the weather is nice, I drag myself away from the keyboard and take a walk on one of the bush trails around my home
Fresh air and mental clarity is important
My husband is my rock and his strength, love and compassion is amazing
God bless xxx

Take care of personal life now. Sorry about your friend.
I know how important it is to make a profit here! I've been having problems getting my pieces together too.
Take a step back, come back to it and maybe will work.
I'm not giving up either. I believe the pieces will work for us both!
Keep the faith!

Thank you Susan
I never give up
I will keep working away
Unfortunately, I have too many overdue bills that need to be paid
I'm making the most of my last week here and will return as soon as I can :)
