Hey, It's Man Eating Day

Updated 4 months ago

Update: Also on Thanksgiving 2023.

Apparently one is able to safely sit in bed and with a simple clearing of the throat cough, throw the back out. Yes, it's apparently true... ask me how I know.

So a couple days before Thanksgiving that's exactly what happened and by Thanksgiving morning about 5:00am, had the clear understanding from my body, I was NOT about to participate in the family celebrations.

I got myself to the ER, they did their 'thing' and I went home to sleep.

Then a few days afterward - again - sitting in my safe little bed where no bad things are supposed to happen, coughed a bit more than a clearing of the throat and this time couldn't bare the pain as well as almost unable to walk and couldn't without unbearable pain.

Another visit to the ER, but this time there was excitement in the room as they put the little thing on my finger, added a couple heart monitor thingy's, someone gave me a shot in one arm and then in the other.

Then I told hubby I didn't feel right, thinking I was off due to not eating and watched as hubby slowly got up from his chair to find something to eat.

I don't remember him or anything after the initial stand 'take off' because I never saw him stand completely up.

He said he proceeded to walk to the door and someone was rushing in to see what was going on. Apparently I dropped with no heartbeat.

I woke to people in the room I didn't recognize, someone talking to me asking me to tell me what I was going through, how I was feeling, my shirt up to my chin with more heart monitors being added, a man holding me up, someone else handing me a throw up bag, an IV going in one arm, and no idea where I was or what was going on.

The hospital promptly got me upstairs somewhere - I don't even remember the trip anywhere.

Then a week of monitoring the heart with excruciating pain in my back and leg.

By the end of the week they did back surgery for a ruptured disk and I'm sitting here on our already scheduled vacation to Florida.

I'm writing this update on Jan. 1, 2024 and grateful I made it through another year to tell you about. :-)

So, I'm at the Towne Center Villas at Westgate Resort in Kissimmee, Florida if anyone is in the area and would like to come collaborate, work on some thoughts, ideas and WA.

I originally wanted to do a week long workshop but my body had other plans.

The rooms are nice, the water park, staff, and activities are enough that most families wouldn't have to go anywhere for the stay and we love it here.

I'll be here until Jan. 5 - check out 11:00am on Jan. 6th.

If you wondered what this place is like - come check it out - let's work together and I'm going to enjoy another day to say "I made it through another day." :-)

I normally charge for my services, classes, workshops, coaching sessions etc. however, given the circumstances, DM me and let me know before you get here what might help your business grow, any links you want me to look at, and what you feel feel is holding you back.

I'll let you know what's going on and how I can let you know where we're at in the Resort, as well as how I might be able help you move to the next level in your business.

When you get here, I'll have our Westgate Host *we love her, show you around if you'd like. It's a pretty amazing place and our 4th year here with the young adults in our life.

If you'd like to stay the rest of the week, let me know that as well and I'll get that going as well.

UPDATE: November 21, 2023

Here we are close to yet another holiday that many weren't sure they'd make it through.

Grateful -

I'm going to leave the information below with a few tweaks and updates on this page, I'll add links and photos as well.

Happy Thanksgiving - 2020

If you're reading this, you have reason to give thanks.

You woke this morning.

Not everyone was given that opportunity.

No matter what you're doing in life, it would be a good day to record Thanksgiving 2020.

Look over at my profile, see how many are in my network and add it to the comment section below.

Men, Enjoy the day and Eat. It's Man Eating Day

Apple Pie anyone?

It's one of my favorites during the time of year that families spend time together eating, in my family, it's especially special for the men. It's a day to eat.

Now if you happen to be meandering across this page, and it's not Thanksgiving, or the day that men in my family eat, a lot, then just keep reading.

You might be here because you found something in a search you were looking for, or possibly trying to find out ways to earn income from home.

In any case, scroll down to see if the information is helpful to you in some way.

Let me know you stopped by too while you're at it, now back to what I was thinking about.

Thanksgiving

Man Eating Day at our house where the men eat, and eat, and eat some more.

Happens to be that one day a year men specifically in our family come together to eat, and eat a lot. Then sit around watching football, yell and eat some more.

It's really Thanksgiving, however,

I lovingly call it Man Eating Day. :-)

If you have family you're able to spend Thanksgiving with, then by all means, do that; it's too important not to.

We're on this earth a very short time and being happy with people you care about isn't something to take for granted.

Be sure you tell those you love, that you love them, and hug your momma and granny too; they deserve it, and they need it.

Speaking of not taking things for granted, I'm thinking about the

Black Friday Special here at Wealthy Affiliate

If you're new to the site, Wealthy Affiliate is a certification training, for those who would like to build an online business

Now's the time to grab that special discount

and save some money while you have the chance.

Grab the Black Friday Special while it's available November 24-27, 2023

Don't think about Christmas and all the gifts you still have yet to purchase, Wealthy Affiliate is so much better than that and it's an asset I haven't regretted. I've made an income online for many years, for me, it was just a tiny amount so I could focus on a chronically ill child as well as other children that came into my life.

When I saw WA, I knew it was a system I could stand behind as well as enjoy myself. Truthfully, I wish I would have had this information all those years ago.

With Wealthy Affiliate you'll cut years of trying to figure out things on your own, you'll have a community of people that will help you walk through the process if you need it, and you'll have an income writing about what you love to do.

The Wealthy Affiliate system is a clean website, simple to use, and proven to bring about the results the end user is working toward.

My photos aren't that great, but I'll share them anyway to give you a small idea of what you might be missing out on

First, these are some of my first results years ago by a company you're well aware of.

While I added a product or two to my page back then, it provided me with a small commission that always seemed to come right on time, it also helped me understand how valuable the idea is.

Yes, it's only $1.12, but when I added those products to my page, I had other "mom things" that had to be done. There were very few people earning income online back then and we had to figure it all out by ourselves for the most part.

The other interesting thing I found about adding products to my page was the idea that no matter how long I hadn't worked on that particular page, and no matter how long I did nothing to promote it or work on it, the income still trickled in.

For instance, I have something on one of my pages that's absolutely boring and terribly hard to sell. Over about 5 yrs. this has been sitting, no advertising, no extra work from me; it's just sitting and I've made about $18 over the 5 yrs.

No, it doesn't sound like much I know, but the work is done, it's sitting, and I'm still making money. For a busy mom, who doesn't have time to shave or even bathe everyday (moms already know) this was just what worked for me and my little family.

You won't do the same thing, because you'll want to earn real income.

My priority wasn't the money on this product, it was just something that needed to be done and all these years later it's still producing just a trickle, but it's still something I wouldn't have had if I hadn't done 'something'.

So, before you wonder whether or not Wealthy Affiliate will work for you, KNOW that it does and will work.

If I was able to learn with no system and training, then you have so much more chance of making more than I ever thought I could.

Why?

You have a community and system at WA

Wealthy Affiliate will walk you through what took me years to learn and you'll be earning much sooner when you follow the steps and apply what you learn.

Now I'll show you a little of what I'm doing here on WA.

NOTE: I have not gone through the training here, I invested in this system so my husband could learn.

PS. He's not interested so I'm having fun meeting new people. Lol

Your results will be much, much better than mine when you follow through.

Go check out my profile - RitaAnn~ on WA -

All those people in the network are your helpers, support group, new friends, business connections, or travel partners. We're all at WA to help one another grow their online business so jump in and introduce yourself if you haven't already. Do that in the comments below.

My Network of WAFY's

First, some of the awesome people here at Wealthy Affiliate

At the time of this writing, my amazing network of friends has grown to 1.4K

Update: November 20, 2023 - 3.4K

The network has grown - are you in it yet - if not, go connect now

If I can do it, then you can too.

The training here at WA will teach you how to meet new friends and build a network of awesome people that have the same vision you have.

What's WAFY?

WAFY is my personal term for "Wealthy Affiliate Friends Ya'all.

These folks are friendly, supportive, helpful and many want you to succeed as much as you want to succeed.

Real WAFY's don't just think about themselves, they jump in and cheer you on when you're down, they support you when you don't know what's wrong with your business site, they also

rejoice when you succeed.

You won't find that just anywhere.

The photo "800 WAFY Love" was when my network of new friends reached 800. This number quickly grew, you can see where it's at now by looking at my particular profile "Network."

All of this comes from understanding the training, which you'll learn also, and a sincere desire to see others live their own dreams. That's how true success is measured in my book.

To find yourself moving forward, find some of the people in the profile that aren't yet upgraded. Follow, and introduce yourself and let their friends get to know you as well.

Many of the people in each group are those who understand the value of helping one another on this site. Some are the educators in the training, some are those who can help you with questions, encourage or inspire you in different ways.

No matter how you go, make sure you connect with a variety of people on the site to be helped, as well as help others.

Some days, all you need to do is let someone know you're there. Even if you don't know what you're doing, reach out to as many people on the site as possible and as always stay focused on the training so you're not side tracked.

Also, don't put personal links to your products or services in your blogs or others, this is confusing for new students and business owners trying to learn.

Stick with the training.

The people on this site are helpful and encouraging - be one of them -

They're also there for you in the training, and you can rest easy when you stay connected to the community.

You're going to build an online business you desire, and these folks have gone through the same training and will help you build your dream online business.

I made this little graphic when my new friend network was at 1.3K and had no idea how quickly it would continue to climb.

Where will you find traffic?

Finding new traffic to your website is difficult for every online business around the world, so you won't have to feel alone, it's just the way it is.

However, when you follow the lessons and tasks without skipping anything, you're setting up an online business that will have the foundation you need to last for years when others are being shut down by search engines every day.

The training here at Wealthy Affiliate will show you what you should and should not do to have your online business shut down; everyone works to learn and share updated information so it's not just on one person to learn.

We try to help one another stay up to date and safe online. Making the community even more valuable. You wouldn't have that support if you had to learn on your own.

Here's some of the stats available to you with your membership:

This particular information shows my traffic during a test with some free traffic I was working on.

Interestingly enough, this was traffic was free and the little work I did brought traffic to this site. Connect with me on my profile links to see more of this.

Not all free traffic is good traffic, but there are a few sources that provide some free traffic if you want to try your hand at working at it. You also have to be careful where you place your website because some traffic sources will get your online business shut down.

You'll learn about traffic generation, conversion and more in the training also.

I did one day's work, probably a few hours, and got some free traffic. You can see that the work done that one day continued to send new traffic to my WA site for almost a month.

If you have more time to devote, you can multiply these efforts and see a more steady line of traffic and potential new customers or friends to your site.

How Can You Earn Income?

Again, you'll learn more about this during the certification training, but I'll just share a little here below.

If you have registered for training, be sure to check your email daily and the first time to verify your email. Check also that it doesn't go to the 'spam box' because it can happen.

Once you verify your email, ** Start with the "Training" which you can find at the top and side menu's on the site.

The training is for 7 days to see if it's a good fit for you unless you choose to upgrade.

When you upgrade, you have win-win with all the bells and whistles at the site as well as private training.

Upgrade here for some of the most powerful tools, community and system for an online business.

Make sure you follow each lesson and task without skipping anything.

Interestingly enough, you'll see here that 110 people saw my page, again, the traffic was all free at this point as I was experimenting with traffic to the site. (This was something I was working on, not in the training)

I had 6 people register for the information I was sharing, though there were no sales.

This is only one of many ways to earn online and with the Wealthy Affiliate site.

Another way to earn is by promoting the training, system and tools found at WA, you'll learn about during training.

Not Sharing Yet?

You may be thinking:

I'm a New Member, I'll wait to share this business building education because I don't understand it or even know if it's legit.

My answer to that:

Even as a new free member, you can be confident to share this training with friends, family and business associates, as it helps thousands of people around the world learn to build their personal online business and earn from the training as well.

Wealthy Affiliate is a tried and proven system that boasts on helping others earn income and follows through; which is why they can humbly boast.

You don't have to be a good writer, understand what they tools do or education is about. You don't have to like or believe anything about it; that's your loss.

You GAIN when you check out the testimonials, see the success results here at WA, go through the training as if it's your education (because it is) and follow the information found in the training, lessons, and tasks.

Take a moment now to share this page.

I could go further to enjoy the process by saying

"if you see gramatical errors, share this page now",

"if you hate my imperfections, share this page now",

"if you hate spending money on bills, share this page now"

"if you totally use and support this system and it's training, share this page now"

or any other number of things just because it's worth the fun of it all.

How can I make money right now?

The very first thing you can do to help yourself earn as well as pay for the WA certification and training would be to share your links with your online friends and family.

Only share your link with 5 friends at this point. You'll learn more in the training.

Go over to my profile and connect with me on those sites.

You'll find your personal links here.

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/share/links

You don't have to understand what you're doing, if you know how to comment and share, tell your friends what you're learning in your comment before you send the link out. Send them the link and tell them to check out your new education and you'll be learning to build an online website.

Be CAREFUL... you cannot spam anyone.

You cannot share too much or they can and will shut you down because even though you're excited, not everyone will be.

(My personal suggestion is to share once a day with 5 people and share 1-3x's daily while sharing your other social information.) Again, don't do what I say, do the training.

At one time I was afraid to share opportunities because I didn't know if they even worked or not; I understand if you're hesitant.

However, the Wealthy Affiliate certification and training system is tried, tested and proven to help people build an online business.

Learning to do the work yourself, as a business owner will save you thousands of fees that you would normally pay someone else to do.

That in itself is worth sharing with people you care about.

If you share coupons when there's a sale, you'll have no problem sharing a legitimate business opportunity and now is the perfect time while the system and training are on sale for a few days. Grab it while you can.

HOW do I share the link?

If you're wanting to earn 'right now' then share the link you find on the page I shared (above link) It's actually best if you get tracking information before you share, but if you're unfamiliar with the term, then just share with everyone you feel has an entrepreneur mindset or those who hate their current job.

Don't over share or you will be considered a spammer and shut down.

Don't send to a huge list or you might be considered a spammer and shut down.

Just share at least once or twice a day with your 5 friends, family, business associates.

Tell them what you're learning and how the education is something you're looking forward to.

Share something different each time you send your link out. Try not to send the same title or note to each person. Make it personal.

If you have your own friends and family email list, let them know ahead of time you'd like to share your new education with them and if they don't mind, you'll be sending a link to keep them up to date on your journey to a new education and you'd like them to connect with you.

Personally, I say jump on that discount while you have time. It's not everyday that you have the opportunity to see your dreams come to life online in a business you build and love, at a price that is less that a college text book.
