Hi everyone, I haven't blogged in quite sometime here on WA - I have been so busy it's ridiculous!! Believe it or not a went a whole day without logging on one time - I haven't done that since I joined!! Felt VERY guilty!!

I just wanted to pop in and give you guys a few updates if you aren't following me. My biggest news as of late is that we are adopting twin newborns. It is insane and I never sleep!! Hard to WA for sure! Wish me luck on this endeavor - it's a toughy!! That now makes 10 kids that hold our name - 8 in the home and only 2 out - I have diagnosed myself as clinically insane!! LOL!!

My next tidbit that I wanted to share with everyone is that I sold my first product - my website isn't ANYWHERE near done - but I did sell a book! Yay :) I intend on framing my first dollar earned and as the universe says it gives me something to look at every day to drive my goals toward more success!! My husband's idea :) Funny thing about this sale - my customer bought the download, his payment cleared, and he never heard back from the vendor - a week went by and of course I contacted the company in the meantime - neither of us heard back - I contacted them a second time - nothing - finally I told my customer to contact the vendor himself and if we didn't get something fixed by the end of the second week I would be writing the vendor and deleting them from my website. I don't want bad press right out of the box!! So just before I was going to write them and delete them the owner of the company contacted me and he didn't only remedy the situation for my customer but he upgraded my customer to the elite package (two pay scales up from what was originally purchased) all as an "I'm sorry for the trouble" he said. So not only did I make a sale, I learned something AND my customer got a great reward in the end. So all is good and ended with everyone happy!! Yay!!

Next, I am still working on my site. It's spring break this week and I hope to get in a lot of hours on WA - but doctors and kiddos so far have kept me from doing that until today. Ugh** At any rate - my site is moving along and some new things have been added. I encourage you to check it out - FEEDBACK IS ALWAYS WELCOME!!!! Please especially check out my blog as I added MANY new posts there - and some interesting things that maybe even someone out there in the community might be interested in. But most of all - I just want feedback. Please don't give feedback on the blank pages - they are works in progress - and the "half developed" pages are also works in progress. My content is typically over 1200 words - so if you see a page with less then that it's not finished yet. But, I would love HONEST - brutal feedback on what is finished - feel free to PM me if you don't want to put it in this forum - common' guys I can take it!! I just want to grow as a developer - I think it looks good - but of course I do - I wrote it. I need more sets of eyes to tell me where I can improve!!

Finally, I want to say thanks to all the community for all that they give on a daily basis. This is truly the best place ever - I read feeds all the time and ya'lls support is amazing!! WA rocks!! And, this is the best place ever for support and conversation. I have finally come to terms that my original goals are too lofty to really achieve - I am still going to keep it posted in my profile though because I am reaching for the stars - but this is a long grueling process and if you really do your research and work hard on your site it takes time!! I'm willing to be patient and work hard and eventually I WILL get there I am fully convinced - I hear of too many other successes to think that I won't succeed sometime soon into the future!! Thanks WA for all the great training and amazing support!! I KNOW you will get me to my goals of financial freedom eventually!!!

Check out the site (so far) - especially the blog - and tear me a part!! I love you guys!!

Best wishes and have a GREAT remainder of your week!
