Elena M's blog

In my video I say why I started my rei journey. I don't remember if it was edited out or not. So I'm going to share it with you. I apologize if I'm repeating it. The reason or my "why" is because of my three lovely daughters. I struggled a lot when they were young and we couldn't afford to have many of the material things their friends had. So I had to work AND play many times to save up and buy them. When I did my first deal I was able to splurge a little on them. I bought my oldest her first car for graduation. I bought myself a van so I could have reliable transportation for once.

Everyday I deal with teenagers at my day job. Many of them struggle with staying motivated at school. I often encourage them to read "the Secret", which luckily we have in our library. Teens now a days are so anxious to grow up and many of them are already facing parenthood. But they seem to lack direction and motivation. They think school is a joke. Which honestly, to a degree is. Our school system has come down so far it amazes me. I actually am witnessing the dumbing down of America first hand, but that's another blog!!! LOL!

I get this a lot lately... How do you get past your fear? Well, the answer isn't so cut and dry. Some say just do it. But when you're petrified it's hard to do that. Especially when you have outside influences hindering you like, we're in a recession or depression or whatever they're calling it now. Stop buying into that crap first of all. Start focusing on how someone, right now, is making money in this economy. Why not you?

It's been a while since I put a blog up and I'm in a blogging mood so I thought I'd share this little story with you.

I gotta tell you guys something... Lately I've been checking out other forums and I must say Dean's is by far the best!! Now, I'm not saying this because I'm an "IC Superstar" whatever that is. LOL! I'm saying this because it's just the God's honest truth! Some of the members of these other forums are down right rude with their answers to questions from newbies. They're not moderated at all, unless it's advertising a service or business, other than that it's Thunderdome! I'm totally serious here!

I find that when I'm having a rough day or couple of days for that matter, that I need to let off some steam! Writing songs usually helps me do that, but I find that blogging also does that for me as well, especially if I'm stuck on a melody. So when I'm not in a 'musical' mood I turn to blogging because I don't have to rhyme, think of the melody or music and I don't have to get too deep. I just need to let off a little steam, that's all, just get if off my chest!
