Im new here and i just purchased your book few weeks back. I have always wondered myself if you ever believe in Jesus as from your title Honest Riches.
This is such a great story Holly. You have a great faith.
God Bless to everyone,

It kinda made me cry but it’s truly inpirational.

Thanks a lot for this.

Here is a rough draft version of a song, along with the lyrics, that I think really fit with this discussion. When things get really intense, I express myself through music. Though I am a professionally trained musician, this is not a complete production, but here it is, as it may provide solace for those in pain. And it may help release people from blaming themselves for the pain and abuse that others cause.

I’m not your rage
Words and Music: Dainis W. Michel © 2008

I’m not your rage
I’m not your pain
I’m not the hate
You feel inside
I’m not your raincoat
I’m not the rain…falling down

I’m not your dream
I’m not your truth
I’m not the judge
I’m not your trial
I’m just a friend
Who wants to see…you alright

I’m just a soul
who likes to smile
bask in the sun
for a while
and then return.

Peace,

I know you said that when you first started out it was about survival for you and your son. I have known you since shortly after Josh was born and I want tell everyone that you helped me immensely even back then. Even though things were really just taking off for you and I know it was hard to keep up with your own business. I am really thankful you took the time to answer my silly emails. So you really have been helping others maybe even longer than you realize. But to put it in perspective I know what it’s like to open your email sometimes and realize that you could spend all day doing support and still be behind. So when I came to know that part of this business it made me appreciate even more your kindness and time you spent helping me so long ago.

About a year ago I came to a realization. I got into this business for financial freedom but not at the cost of my personal freedom. I already had a job that did that and I ended up no where but broke financially and spiritually- and that is what brought me into Internet Marketing. And Internet Marketing is what has allowed me to finally experience financial freedom and realize my own personal dreams. So I am very thankful. When you were talking about if anyone in your family were to read this post- you wanted them to know that you do not hold any anger, pain, or loss from your past…I experienced a very similar situation a while back. I sent a really personal email to my list in which I told some really personal details about myself, my past, what I have overcome, etc. Someone in my family was on my list and got really mad over it and forwarded it to A LOT of people. It got really ugly. In the email I was not placing blame on anyone or any set of circumstances but really just being honest about how I felt and how it played into making me who I am today so…Ok, thank you again Holly for sharing this and for helping me so long ago!:) Take care

If I needed one last push to purchase your e-book this article did it! I am not in a position right now to help others as much as you do but I really hope I can also reach out and help others soon.

God bless!

As in Chris’s last comment sometimes the help is there but you just don’t see it in time. Then you feel bad about asking for it again.(diet coke)

I am taking my stumbling across your site as the help I need. I find myself in a similar situation as your own when stating out online. Only I have yet to find success.

While reading yours and others stories of struggle I feel I have found a place to spend some time figuring out what I need. I have never been so moved as I am after reading all the posts from these kind people.

People kind enough to share their experiences. You don’t see this on many sites. The more I go through your site the more intrigued I get. And inspired.

My story is for a later date. But I can rest easy knowing that I’ve found a “real” site for people to truly learn from.

Thank you everyone for sharing.

This is a little off the subject but I had something really strange happen to me today. It got me thinking that maybe sometimes things happen in life in the wrong order. Maybe some sort of delayed fate or drum beating out of time. I went to our local Sonic Drive In (fast food place) for lunch. It was actually around 2pm so there were not many people there. I sat outside my car in the large play area on one of the picnic benches. There was no one else around at the time. A few minutes after my order came one of the waiters skated over to me (they wear skates to get around) with a drink and said, “Here’s the diet coke you ordered” – I was like, uh, I didn’t order anything I just got this diet coke with my food. The waiter said someone ordered from the call box out here (the playground area). I looked around and of course there was no one around. So the waiter skated off of course. Not a minute later my drink was blown off into the playground sand by a strong gust of wind and it was ruined (full of sand)! I didn’t think anything of it until I went to push the button on the call box. It struck me that maybe he brought me the drink before it happened. I had some sort of deja vu moment or something. I decided not to order a new drink because they would think I was messing around or something. Really weird! Thanks for the offer to post a short story/article sometime Holly. Is there a contact form to do that with? Thanks, Chris

It’s weird how the World is full of inspiration and how sometimes it comes from the most unlikely of places.

Here’s a prime example…

Years ago I was both a drug addict and alcoholic. I went through the worst of times but today, more importantly, my life is one I only used to dream about. I found the will to change through witnessing an attempted murder. followed by my own almost self demise…

But here is the Real Story:

A friend I have been corresponding with online had one of the heaviest additions to alcohol I have ever seen. In the last 2 years he lost his wife and kids, his house, his job, and every friend he has ever known. Broke and virtually homeless he turned to searching online for answers that could help him overcome his demons, his addictions. While drunk one night and in a run down hotel with HBO he happened to watch a documentary on, what many consider, one of the worst people ever. Heidi Fleiss. If you have have no idea who she is then do a quick google search.

While watching this documentary (keep in mind he was drunk once again and having lost everything) he came across one line, yes one line, that Heidi Fleiss said. She said that she believes that addiction is never fully the story of someone. That if she uses she know she’s cannot accomplish anything. But if she doesn’t, Every ONE of her dreams can come true – My friend has never taken another drink since. That statement from the most unlikely of people is forever burned in his mind. It has kept him sober now for OVER one year.

I believe Inspiration is all around us.

Do you?
