Great news flooded over my laptop monitor, yesterday morning, as I was replying to a comment I had receieved.

I had just "cracked" the WA 200!

In April, I will have been here, ... for 4 years!

Time flies when you're having fun. Over a million people spend a large part of their lives here and it's easy to understand why. This is an education program beyond all expectation. When I landed here almost 4 years ago, I was looking for a way to get into the Online Marketing World.

Needless to say, I didn't have a clue. I had been ripped-off severely, 3 times, and couldn't believe that at my age, I was so naive.

"I was blinded by the light",

This song by Manfred Mann's Earth Band is one way of describing what had happened to me.

Another way would be to say that I had fallen gravely ill from SOS, ... yes Shiny Object Syndrome!

Lucky for me the climate here was mild, warm, and sunny. This was the cure for the SOS I was suffering from.

In much better health, I proceeded to work my way through the mountains of information and people that lived here. I got lost often, and for days at a time.

Being an experienced outdoorsman and mountainman, (in my own mind), I sat down, took a few deep breaths and asssessed my situation. I was still lost, but I knew that if I kept my cool and studied the landscpe, I could find my way back home.

Home for me today is Wealthy Affiliate.

Home is more than a physical building. We've all been to houses that are stale and lifeless. Homes are full of life, full of people experiencing joys and sorrow, frustration and success. It is a place where you gather with family and friends.

I can't say enough, to everyone that has helped me during the past 4 years, but I can say thank you and express my gratitude to all here at Wealthy Affiliate.

Have a Meaningful 2019 and Success to one and all!

Again, ... Thank You!
