Why I "Disappeared"
The house I was living in burned down on 5/14/19. Everything alive survived unharmed, even the plants! The house and most of my accumulated possessions are toast. I've been a little under-the-gun to get new housing, stay in communication with the Fire Chief / State Detectives, and figure out my finance options. Considering I just quit my job prior to the fire, it's been challenging to finagle loans. It's also emotional sifting through charred remnants of my life to attempt a salvage operation before the building is officially condemned and no longer accessible. Honestly, days of torrential rain and blustery winds have destroyed much of what the fire didn't consume. I'll get pictures up once I have the time to finish my 1st-level certification and figure out graphics.
I'm so jazzed about WA, but lost my computer and all of my brand new passwords, including a new email I set up specifically for this endeavor. Obviously, I finally retrieved it. The small community I live in has rallied to assist me beyond my wildest dreams. Seriously, it chokes me up. Even the vision clinic is providing new glasses for myself and my son at no charge. (Try getting an insurance company to do that!)
Meanwhile, I've got a backlog of emails, posts, and other communications to get to. I apologize if anyone thinks I "dropped" them. I'm sorry. Thanks for understanding where my attention must currently focus. I'll be back in full swing once I get a place to live and get past several due-dates in early June.
There's a small ($2K) GoFundMe account my aunt initiated under "emergencies", but I still don't quite know enough to post the link. I'll figure it out soon. That site has several pictures.
On the plus side, I noticed Google ranked me! WooHoo! I can't wait to finish up initial training, although, I'm sure I need to refresh what I've learned from Kyle's videos. I'm brimmimg with diverse website ideas that I want to get started. I love being able to blow past regulatory and/or corporate bodies to get my truth out there to everyone. I won't get fired for telling the "real deal", or pointing out the blatant greed and self-serving tactics used.
I'll be in touch soon. Thanks in advance for your patience. I WILL answer ALL of the questions I've received.

Wow, kudos to you for your strength, positivity and resilience! I wish you all the best on the road back.
Thanks for the positive reply. It's all working out for the better. I enjoyed your profile. I'm one of those physical slackers with a renewed interest in regaining my strength, balance, and flexibility. (losing the pudge, and decreasing stress/pain on joints also figures in greatly!) You've inspired me to pursue some extra physicality today.
I wish you to get through these great challenges you are facing at the moment as smoothly as possible.
Sending you lots of positive energy!
The universe will bring you much more very soon.
All the best!

BobRoman, thanks for your positive vibes. All is working out cleaner, fresher, freer. I'm renegotiating my expectations of the Universe.... for MORE happiness, not more "stuff".
Sorry to hear this, my heart goes out to you and will remember you in prayer. Glad to hear you are back up and running. Hope all goes well from this point forward.

Ray, thank you for your prayers. I'm sure they helped smooth my path. This supportive community is just amazing. All is moving forward again, with better focus and less clutter.
I'm so sorry to hear that you are having to deal with all of this. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless
PamelaBened1, thanks for your post and prayers. I know they've helped. Your sympathy is heart-warming. It may sound strange, but I think now that the fire WAS God blessing me. There are many agonizing choices I don't have to make anymore. I have a fresh, clear path to a new future. Thanks, again, for caring. .
Hi Michelle,
I am sorry to hear about your misfortune. I hope and pray that you will get everything sorted out and find a place to live soon. I can not imagine what you are going through but I figure it must be a very difficult time in your life to say the least.
I do hope that you get back on your two feet again and that you are able to continue your work here at WA. I wish you all the best and may the blessing of God be with you and your family during this difficult time. I will kept you in my prayers.
Much success to you!
Kind regards,
Nichola
NicholaJames, thanks for your inspirational post. "It's all good" is a phrase I feel more and more every day. God works in mysterious ways. Scrubbing away the old and rotted is necessary for new,healthy,clean growth to occur. I've also determined that "things" can be shackles preventing ability to fly.
Please do not apologize. You have hands full. I can not imagine what you are going through. I hope your insurance policy has a clause to provide you with temporary housing until you find a new home. if I can help with anything let me know. I use to own an insurance company, primarily selling health plan. But we also sold causality policies. So any insurance question, I will be willing to help with.

Thank you. Dragonflies are supercool. I rented,no insurance. I remember back in the college days, I didn't have enough material possessions to bother with renter's insurance...... somewhere along the way I accumulated stuff, but spaced need for insurance. Oh, well.
Hi dragonfly10. I just wanted to thank you, again, for your helpful and encouraging post. It definitely added to my resolve the first time I read it, and it just warms my heart the second time that anyone would care enough to offer professional advice. Bless you.
PS- I still think dragonflies are way cool :)
God bless you, this must be difficult. The focus now is taking care of family. You’ll overcome this and be back in the grove here before you know it. All the best to you, Oldpharma.
Thank You, TimMoto ! Despite the devastation, I really feel this is in God's plan for me. It cleared away the old to make room for the new. God circumvented my 2nd-guessing myself. And, hey! I don't have to finish those dishes, or mow the lawn!
TimMoto, I made it through! Yay! Thanks for your encouragement along the way, and for even taking the time to read my sob-story. God HAS blessed me, and life moves fwd much freer and fresher. I hope you and your family have scored some freedom out riding this summer. Best to you!

I am thankful that everything living survived the fire! Yet, I am very sorry that it happened in the first place.
It sounds like you have an amazing community that has been able to support you.
Don't stress out over the Gofund me link. You are not allowed to put those in posts here anyway. It falls within the spam rules. You suggest people can either send you a PM for it. You may be able to put it in your profile section under the contact me area.I am not sure.
Best wishes as you work towards building your online business with renewed enthusiasm. As the saying goes, when one door closes; another one opens.
Oh, thanks! I didn't even think about spam (I'm a lil scattered, haha). Is it bad etiquette that I mentioned it? If so, very sorry. I wasn't thinking of it in terms of a solicitation, just commentary.
SondraM, thank you for your understanding and helpful post. I dropped the fundme thing. I was able to reconnect with loved ones through it, but I always felt weird with the site. My emergency didn't compare with those of many others. I agree completely with you about doors closing and opening. Thanks for sharing your keen perception.
