I'm Back Baby! 3-Year Milestone and 1 Million Words Later.

Hey all you beautiful people, my WA family.
I must say that I've missed this and all of you! For some personal reasons, I had to be away from my business for around 6 months, where I wasn't really active.
Some sad things happened in my life that I don't want to make public, but let's say that I lost a part of myself in the process. I needed time away to really gather my thoughts and the pieces of me that was scattered.
After my traumatic experience, I felt like I was not gonna come back. It really left me hopeless and I think I was even borderline depressed. That really scared me and I really couldn't work on anything.
Some days, it was such a chore to even get up from bed.
I'm just really happy that I was able to find myself again and to jump back into things here at WA.
I'm so glad I didn't let my annual membership expire in Nov 2020. If I did, I would probably be regretting it now. At the time, I just didn't feel ready to part yet, after almost 3 years here, and I just renewed my annual membership for the heck of it.
This just proves that no matter what happens in life, you take a break but you NEVER give up. That spirit just bounces back when you do.
I must say that the money that I made while I was away from my business also really helped. There were times when I couldn't go to work because I felt so depressed and thus didn't get paid. My earnings from WA helped cover that gap.
Maybe that's one of the reasons that I kept my membership here. I made a profit in 2020 and decided to reinsvest my earnings into buying another year of WA, to stay with all of you.
At least I was making money from it, if nothing else.
It just goes to prove to you that whatever is taught here at WA really works, if you follow it to the letter and really treat it like a business. Like me, it will help during hard times.
During that time, I hit my 3-year miletone in December 2020 and sometime even earlier, in September 2020, I hit another big milestone and that's 1 Million words written on SiteContent.
To me, working on my website is publishing 3 - 4 posts a week. In September I wasn't really working since I only probably published 5- 7 articles during the whole month. But I still managed to hit that milestone and never really got the opportunity to update you guys.
'Cause life happened. I guess we can put it this way... :)
But anyways, nothing bad that happens in life is forever. So what I wanted to convey is that if you need time off from your business, definitely take it, but don't make this an excuse to give up.
Lots of Love,
Reyhana
It's awesome that you've kept up with your site and now you've got your incredible achievement of a million words. That is absolutely amazing and I congratulate you!
I totally agree that sometimes we just need to take time out. It doesn't mean we're giving up, it just means that self-care is a priority, and sometimes it simply needs to be that way to get through a difficult time.
Reyhana, I'm thinking of you and I'm wishing you strength and healing. x
I was away for much of the last 8 months myself. I just came back in December. I thought about whether to quit but missed WA and my friends here and know all I have learned will pay off in the end.
So happy to see you here Reyhana!

Wishing you all the best for 2021.
Kind regards.
