Julia, first off, thanks. I don't know what everybody else is seeing. I'm still only seeing the avatar I have been using. This is really odd. I'm trying to change it. I think I'll try the on-line url next and see if that works.

Sharon, Blessings hon.

Hi again Clairetta,

You know that we all love you and are wanting only the best for you! Please accept anything said here with that in mind!

I really learned a lot from Dr. Alexandra Gayek's course SOBW and Beyond. One question that she asks is what are you willing to do to be healthy? You may ask yourself the came question, not only for health but also for prosperity. What am I willing to do to become rich?

Wally suggests starting out where you are now, but doing all of your actions in a certain way! In your case that would be starting out with the skills that you have now and doing something with them. But do something today! Do something now! Don't wait until tomorrow! As you go along learn new skills that will take you to the position of your CMI. Be grateful for the skills that you have now, and for the skills that you will have in the future!

Thank you, Tom. What you wrote just blessed my soul.

That's sounds a bit harsh to me Sharon. Julia

Yes, you're quite right, Julia. Tough Love or Enabling?

I recognize Clarietta is going through a tough time, but I stand by my post and SOGR. It's ok if we see things differently. I won't go into why I said what I said as it's unnecessary. I will say I was looking at the 'whole picture' and not certain individual posts.

I stated, "I can't see..." which is obviously my opinion. At the same time, I respect your opinion.

May you be blessed with all things good,

Hi again Clarietta,

I had suggested that you start where you are, and with using your best skills. In your spare time contemplate your CMI - and develop new skills, such as developing your writing skills.

At some point, my body started showing the results of back breaking work. So now I'm not capable of working like then. I can do some of it, but not for the long periods nor at the pace I did. So I've been looking for something other than physical or cleaning work. Understand, this is where my best skills were.

From everything that I have read of yours cleaning work is your best skill, but it dosn't have to be back breaking work. When you work in the certain way you learn the tricks of the trade that makes hard work easy. You also take care of your body and strengthen it to the point that the hard work is easy!

I have done a lot of cleaning in my time beginning with eight years in the Marine Corp to presently doing most of the house cleaning at home. I also did most of the cleaning at the printing business that we owned. The tricks of the trade include having the right equipment and supplies and knowing how to use them instead of your body. - this goes with any job. In our printing business I always made sure that the equipment was well maintained which made printing easy for our operaters, also made sure that our graphic designers had updated software which made their job easier.

When you do get a job ask yourself - how can I make it easy!

Tom, and all, I read this and thought it fit with what you were saying. And besides that, I thought it is ingenious.
