Who is Lyn - or better known as Murphys Mom?

I am Mom to two boys and Nana to two awesome grandchildren. And then there’s Murphy, my 4 year old, exceptionally smart Shih Tzu. (well, he does try to eat dots off a colorful throw.) You know the joke about older women having little dogs to be their companions? I’m afraid I’m becoming one.

I retired from the field of Christian Education about 8 years ago.

Let me back up a little. Since I was a little girl I wanted to be a teacher. Being one of six siblings along with being in a very dysfunctional family, I quit high school to help take care of my two little sisters 10 and 11 years younger than me and I’m happy that I did that. Our baby sister passed away a few years ago and our older sister passed away 15 years ago. I married and had two wonderful boys. I started volunteering in my young sons school and one day volunteered to help out in his preschool classroom. From that day on I Know what I had to do. Yes go to school. I started GED classes and excelled in them.

When I graduated from the GED program our instructor asked me if I would say a few words at the graduation ceremony. I said sure. Little did I know there would be hundreds of people there. It was held in Miami in a huge stadium. Another new discovery, I liked speaking in public Which certainly helped me in my years ahead in the Christian Education field.

Beginning college at 40, I excelled through the classes earning a Bachelor’s degree in Education and Human Services.

Now my adult boys sometimes get confused as to who the parent is. When I talked about Wealthy Affiliate they thought I really had lost my common sense.

When I became a wealthy affiliate my husband and myself were hit with emergency surgeries which led him to a year and a half of doctors, you know how that goes. Well again my adult children said mom why are you spending all this time learning something totally new about affiliate marketing? My response then was because I know I can do it. I like to write. I’m good at it. I will succeed.

My response now I is: I know I can do it. I like to write. I am good at it. I will succeed.

As This new year begins let us all stretch ourselves, reach out for help if we need it and I’m pretty sure a lot of us do need it. So you wanted to paint on canvas, take a class and do it. You’d like to be a life coach, do it. There are many good programs.

Perhaps none of these suggestions are your cup of tea and that’s OK. Still challenge your self: read a book, Do some journaling, gardening and just and being a good listener to our children, family members …WA members.

This is a glimpse of my profile. And today I’m a tad older I really haven’t changed that much. There is one thing that is going to change; I am going to work harder and smarter as a Premium Plus member of Wealthy Affiliate

Best to all of you!
