                                                                                                                   So my aunt and her whole house is sick. They have coughing, sneezing, wheezing, fevers, chills and she has diarrhea.  My aunt ended up going to the hospital due to her leg turning purple. They said her family is going through sinuses and not COVID or anything. Another thing she thinks they are thinking is that her leg is septic or it became back infected again.  We unfortunately are who they call on when they need something and honestly it feels like it has been never ending because they always need something because I feel bad but however I am tired of doing it. This is the thi...

 Do not expect things to come up. Do not expect to get seen overnight. Its not going to work. Your plans will fail. Every thought that you have may fail and be unsuccessful.  I had a dream, a plan a vision that everything I would do would tie together and allow me to generate income for my family so my husband can take time for himself and heal since he is dealing with gout, Rheumatoid arthritis and Kidney Disease and needs a lot of help at times. I was trying everything to get things off the ground from streaming, blogging, YouTube, ko-fi, marketing, networking, photography and a lot of other things. I done a lot of micro tasking also just trying to make it and some days it's like why even bother trying still to this day.  This blog right here has been around since 2014 but started posting in 2016.  This was my first ever blog and I started it in high school because it was easy for me to share photos, my thoughts and everything else including my writing.  I met...

  The burn out comes when you try and try and try again pushing for something to work and it never really works.  It comes from not wanting to give up on things even though you see it not working but you still want it to work.  I have reached this burn out many times with content creating, streaming, blogging, photography, writing and even affiliate marketing. This is not for the weak.  I want to give up I really want to but in the other hand I want to keep going with it even though I know it's never going to go anywhere.  I am so tired of trying but I don't want to give up with it even though I have every reason I should.  Eventually it will work out but it's best to not keep pushing yourself.  Its best to take breaks and step away to work on other things before you loose yourself trying to make things work that may never work. 

Building a successful business isn’t a straight line. It’s a messy, unpredictable journey filled with ideas that don’t take off, projects that fall flat, and moments where you wonder if you should just walk away. People love to talk about the wins, but the truth is that you often have to build a few failed businesses before you finally create one that works. My journey didn’t start with affiliate marketing — it started with content creation , photography , blogging , and writing books . I tried everything. I experimented with every lane that sparked creativity or curiosity. Some things grew, some things faded, and some things I kept dragging forward long after they were already done. And then came affiliate marketing. I’ve been an affiliate marketer for 10 years , and I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly side of it. I’ve watched programs thrive, collapse, disappear, and change overnight. I’ve learned the harsh truth that you only make commission when someone actually buys — and if...

 Being a freelancer is not for the weak. It takes a lot of time, and effort to get yourself know and then when you think you have you footing anything and everything can knock you off so do not get to cocky.  I am a freelancer but I am also an affiliate marketer and when I tell you I have done this for 9 years let me just say there were a lot of roads that I had to travel and a lot of ropes that I had to grab quickly. A lot of people are affiliate marketing so do not be surprised when you make barely anything from it.  Also watch contracts with companies because sometimes you do not make nothing but change. It takes a lot of dedication and thinking to create blog post, social media posts and try to entice people to buy things. It is not easy to do and  you have to be creative and find a lot of places to be seen. I currently use Tumblr, reddit, BlueSky, twitter(X) and Facebook, Pinterest to be seen. I also used Quora but they banned my first account and I do not feel ...

 Easter 2026 was off big time. Due to the weather we ended up having it Saturday since we were not sure of the weather but anyways. No one said anything.  We asked multiple times what we were doing for Easter and no one said a word. All we got was we don't know yet we aren't sure.  So we grilled out since with our family it was over 16 people including us.  We had everything perfect. The food got done at about 1:30, my aunt, uncle and cousin (she was already here since she spent the night) then my aunt messaged her brothers and they also came over and then my aunt in law came over also.  However the only people that didn't even bother coming over and we told them at 9:30 am that we are having it was my parents.  My aunt texted my mom to let her know the food was done and see if they were coming the only response we got was a it doesn't look like it since my dad was working on his truck gas lines and gas tank.  What a let down. My kids were so excited t...

 I know I am not the only one that feels like giving up. Not giving up on life but giving up on hopes and dreams. Giving up on ideas and goals that you have set for yourself for years just for them to never make it. Trust me, I know this.  I am starting to feel like I have failed myself because I had so many ideas and goals and plans that never worked out along with I have no idea what I want to be in life and that is taking a toll on me being a 28 year old almost a 29 year old trying to figure out what I want to be and do with life but lately, I just feel like it is wasting away daily. I feel like my skills that I have learned along the way are going no where and the things I have done in life is also going no where.  I have 9+ years of affiliate marketing in which I kind of want to branch out and do something else because affiliate marketing is not an guarantee and you are sometimes just wasting your time trying to get sales on products that others are already promoting...

 If I known what I knew then, I would move differently. I would of never settled and I would of done better. It is to the point I am tired of trying. I am tired of asking and damn well near begging for better. We never go on family vacations anymore.  We never get to do anything. You always come up with some kind of excuse and I would always keep feeding into it. You're excuses have all but ran dry. It is to the point I am no longer happy anymore. You keep coming up with excuses one after another after another hoping, I would stop talking about it or change the subject. You make excuses to the point I am sick of hearing them.  There is no reason at your grown age you keep lying. There is no reason at your grown age you trying to "comfort" with lies and then make it seem like everyone else is what you say they are when you pretty much are lying to me.  The only time we actually spend together when you're not working is when you are asleep and I say up all-night trying...
