Unstoppable Angie

How many times has someone said to you "Never Give Up?" I have to tell you. This is something that I have struggled with over the years. You don't know how many times I have said to myself. "If I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all." I know there are so many people out there that feel the same way. I was to the point in my life that when my dad was fixing things in my house, that I would literally have to leave the room until he finished. When I stayed in the room, he just couldn't fix it. Is that karma or what? I lost all hope and faith. I was completely lost. I would wander endlessly around the house like a lost soul. I was a single mother at the time with three daughter's. They were all grown and in University. I was to the point in my life where I saw no reason for being. If that makes any sense? One morning I woke up and realized that feeling this way was not acceptable. Something had to be done. I had to change my ...

The Power of Money The power of money means freedom and it can mean many different things. Some are born with money, some have never had it and some work really hard to get it. I get by and that has been my whole life. I hope that one day soon I will know what it is like to have it. I want many things in life, but my soul purpose is to be able to provide for my son. I have never been on a vacation or on a plane. These are a few of my goals and one day I WILL achieve them. I will never give up because giving up is NOT an option. I feel as though people want to be rich so they can have power over others. People want influence and respect, so they seek money. They then become greedy people and looking out for only themselves. I seek money for the sole purpose of survival. I am not looking to make millions, although it would be nice. I just want to be able to get by. I live in a world where every penny counts. A lot of us do. There are so many of us that are in the same situa...

POSITIVITY & MOTIVATION Sustaining motivation can be tough under the best of circumstances. So how do you stay motivated when your mind goes in every direction. I try and focus on one thing, even if it is the tiniest little thing. Every tiny step is a step in the right direction. My work from home path started very similarly to most just starting out. I got my feet wet by signing up with online surveys, applied to data entry jobs, tried a bunch of different and very diverse ideas, and then finally bit the bullet and got serious about affiliate marketing. It hasn’t been easy and some days it is really hard to stay motivated. There are days when I feel as though I haven’t accomplished a thing, but every day I see progress. I am growing, learning and changing every day. Isn’t that what life is all about? I have met some great people on my online journey. I guess you would say they have been my rock. When I felt like giving up they were there and some how they kn...

OUR PURPOSE My posts have been kind of random. When a thought comes into my head, I have to write it down. My life has been an eventful one and if my mind wasn’t so all over the place I could write a book. You never know maybe one day I will. I have always had abandonment issues and never really understood why. It wasn’t until later on in the years that I found the reasons for all my unanswered questions. When I was three my mother left me and my brother and I never heard from her again until I was eighteen. We talked for a few years, but she was always trying to put the blame on my father. She would tell my brother what he wanted to hear and tell me the exact opposite. I called her on it and never heard from her again. I only wanted to get to know her. I wasn’t looking for a mother, but only for a friend. Was that wrong of me? Anyways, my dad was married two times after that. I always had this yearning for mother love and never received it. Don’t get me wrong, I received so ...

I Am A Newbie!! I am new at this and I have never been that great at writing. I use to write poetry, but it would take me weeks to finish a poem. As a thought came to my head, I would write it down and eventually turned it into a poem. I am a single parent and it has been a struggle and a blessing. I raised my three daughter’s and they are very successful. I have a son who is almost five. Quite an age gap between him and his sister’s. Does it make sense to you when I say “I was married, but yet I was single?” I was married for over nineteen years, but he was never there. He was gone early in the morning and home late at night. We would usually see him on Sunday’s. It wasn’t easy, but we managed. I remember trying to work, but he wouldn’t watch the girls so what I was making I was paying most of it to a sitter. So needless to say, I didn’t work very long. I waited until my girls all started school and got myself in the school system which was awesome because I was home whe...

Some Good and Some Bad Isn’t it the parents’ job to make sacrifices for their children to be happy? This was a question that I was asked recently. I had a yes and no answer. Maybe I am wrong. I made many sacrifices for my children.  I stayed with their father because I thought it was the right thing to do. He was an alcoholic, but at least we were financially secure. I was miserable and they could see it.  After a long 19 years, We gave him a choice. His drinking or us, he choose his drinking. I sacrificed a lot for my daughters and would probably do it again if need be, My life has been hard and it has taken me a lot to get over the damage that was done.  We learn from our past and our children learn from us. I hope this was a little bit helpful.
