I was very inspired by the timely and honest article published by Kyle a few days ago. Even though I did not reply at the time, I do want to let everyone know that in spite of recent happenings in my life I entirely agreed with all he had to say.
The recent happenings I refer to are these. Firstly, like all of us I was forced to contend with the world wide pandemic, and in my case it was right at the time things were starting to show real promise that I would soon be making money on line.
Secondly, I was was hit with a mild stroke on March 27th and spent the next three months in hospital, plus had my driver's license taken away on me,. I was lucky that in time I will mostly recover from the stroke but there are many challenges to face and overcome in the meantime.

One of those challenges is whether I should continue to try to maintain and grow my website (www.fabuloushealthnews.com) or put it up for sale and allow someone with more experience and more traffic than I have to have a go at it. After all the hard work I have done on the site over almost nine years now I hate to part with it and would need to get a good price for it, but I would like to get some input from some of you dear fellow WA'ers out there. At present it has 101 articles covering a wide range of health and fitness topics, and 565 comments.
I have also been studying the amazing biography of the leading inventor of all time, Thomas Edison, who died at the age of 84, while holding a grand total of 1093 US patents. But I wonder how many people realize that he grew up poor and hard of hearing, and that he died of diabetes complications. He also left behind many famous quotes.
A few of them are: "I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that did not work" "Opportunity is missed by people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try one more time." "If we did all of the things we are capable of we would astound ourselves." "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
I realize that with these quotes in mind many of you out there may say that I should keep working on my website, but please understand that it would be hard now with my stroke and having no other income except CPP and OAS for the last couple of years now, I really do need the money. I have absolutely no intention on giving up on WA or not eventually ending up in the top 1% !!! If anything,all that has happened has just made me even more determined !!
If I do sell my website now I will have more time to build a new site in a different niche and restudy some of the WA courses.
