Update for 2013
Published on September 4, 2013
Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I have been a member here for a few years and have learned a lot here at WA during that time, but in the past year or so had some changes that kept me from putting my greatest effort into my work. My father passed away about 2 years ago and I am only feeling better since last year. Then my day job's work load became than ever and I am brain dead sometimes after all this, which is not good for creative thoughts! Luckily, this is becoming easier and I have accepted that it is my new normal for now.
On a technical note, I could not believe how much a new large monitor would help me! About 4 months ago I decided get a nice little Microsoft Surface Pro, mostly for the pressure sensitivity it offers with the stylus as I like to work on art projects using Manga Studio and Photoshop. It was way too small for working on the business applications, so I got a new 23" monitor, which is helping already and motivating me to move forward on my newer web pages!
I have to say this is the greatest place, such helpful people and great support from Kyle and Carson. It definitely has become part of my life and always look forward to seeing what others are doing and checking out the new lessons and live video classes. I have made a little money here and there on some of my sites via Amazon links and Vigilink and do get a decent amount of views of some of my pages. They are a work in progress and hopefully will do better with some updating and newer articles added!
