The climb has begun!

Somehow I went from over 500 to 200, but oh well. It doesn't matter. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere! I am going to make this climb one step at a time and build my website. I'm working on an article on PTSD in children. Interesting reading.Anyhow, I'm here and I'm here to stay. I'm close to the 6-month limit with Amazon, so I need to find other affiliates instead of just relying on Amazon. Any ideas?Well, time to get the day started. I'm on a roll!Have a fantastic day fellow dreamer

The excitement is alive!

Today is a cold but beautiful day. I'm alive and kicking and so are you! We all have our challenges, it is how you choose to look at them. Just kick them in the A** and move on. Life is way to short to worry about the little things, so let them go. Fight the good fight and win!!Wealthy Affiliate is a miracle of miracles. We can choose to push through, follow the training and become successful, or we can take it slow and still become successful, it will just take longer. But then there are

Miracles Do Happen, Just stick with WA

I was in the hospital all of September with a 2% chance of survival. I beat those odds, much to my doctor's surprise. I am thrilled I experienced that miracle because that gives me another chance to be successful at Wealthy Affiliate. I had several comments waiting for me that were very positive and encouraging keeping going. The comments on my website were encouraging and gave me the courage to continue with my topic. PTSD is a deserving topic, not enough information is out there about su

I'm really trying to get back on my feet

Good evening everyone!! I'm working on getting back on my feet so I can soar in the clouds with WA. I really miss it but I've been so sick I haven't been able to. So this is a good sign. it's a first. I haven't been able to write any articles, but that will change. I know there is a high demand for information on PTSD, so even though I am only one voice, I will say all that I can to help as many people as I can.God Bless all, Rae

I was going to give in, but I was given some good advice.

As many of you know, I've gone through hell and back over the past 7 weeks. I almost died on the operation table twice, my body was cut into in places that will take months to recover from. But God and my excellent doctor saved my life. It's going to take a long time for me to get back to regular energy levels, which is normally pretty high since I'm also fighting Bipolar Disorder and PTSD. Normally I'm running circles around everyone in my home and my home is spotless, every I dotted and e

It is time to learn the party begins when you are open to it.

I remember thinking I was going to conquer the world and succeed at everything I did. I have learned over the last 35 or so years it isn't that easy. One would think the lesson would be learned and life would continue at an uphill pace. Nope, not this girl. In 1990 I turned over a new leaf and invited the Holiest of Hollies into my life but at that time I was extremely ill and reaching for anything or anyone to help me heal.Fast forward to the year 2001. I had cleared many hurdles, not givin

Update to being gone so long.

Thank you dear friends and family for your well wishes and prayers. Unfortunately, after a day home, I had to return to the hospital due to more complications. When I was discharged again, and hopefully for the last time, I spent a total of one month in the hospital. And a good portion of it was on ICU. My doctor calls me his miracle patient, lol, so for now I am just going to take things very slow and not push myself to hard. In home physical therapy is kicking my fanny just fine, thank y

Sorry for being gone for so long.

My last post I was so thrilled than I had made my first year with Wealthy Affiliate, I wrote that post from my hospital bed but I was so exhausted, I didn't couldn't get into WA again. After I had my knee surgery, the orthopedic surgeon put me on some very hefty pain medicine which caused much more serious problems. I developed a blockage in my intestines and after a few days the blockage could hold on no longer, so my intestines exploded. I was very sick, my doctor said only 2% of patients

One year with WA! I did it!

I just logged in to find this message from WA congratulating me for a year with this incredible community! Wow, a year!. The lessons I've learned during this past year shall not be put to waste. They will not be put in a shadow box and put on shelf to covered in dust, forgotten about and not used. No ma'am!WA lessons are like Jack's magic beans to me; leading up to the sky, waiting to be climbed and used.I remember a blog circulated recently about the premiums being too high and to that I say

An update from my recovery of my knee replacement#2

Well, my recovery has hit a brick wall. I was being a good patient, following all the physical therapy requests, everything I can think of. I was starting to feel pretty good (Ha!) Then I started bleeding from between the staples - it looks like I have broken one or more of the inner stitches. I am out of pain medicine and because of my kidney disease I am not allowed to take any kind of Nsaid medication. If I bend or move my knee at all, it begins bleeding. If I don't move, my knee stiffens up
