I am a single grandparent surving the economy with a home based internet marketing business. There are many hardships in our lives nowadays. We are all being wounded left and right in one way or another.

 There are many ways you can be wounded. Some instances are physically, mentally, financially or emotionally. Which do you dread the most? Seriously, I am concerned and asking this question so that you can answer it. We are called to bear one another’s burdens! I am serious. In hards times like these we need to be looking out for each other. Even if we see a stranger in need, we should stop and help them.

I have been wounded several times physically in car accidents. Actually one of my last accidents made the hairs on my arms stand at attention. I was on my way home from listening to a friend perform and an opossum crossed the road in from of me. I was approximately two blocks from home. I looked back over my shoulder to see if the critter was safe and when I turned back to the road my car was perfectly centered on a very large concrete utility pole. When I came to in the hospital the next morning I remembered a man dragging me out of my car and trying to revive me in his house with wet wash clothes. I also remembered walking towards my dad and he said to me, “You can’t come now you have your mother and two girls to look after.” I had just gotten divorced after being married for 12 years. My dad had passed away 11 years before. I was told I was very fortunate to be alive and I don’t doubt that in the least.

People are wounded mentally on a daily basis. Domestic mental abuse, parentalm ental abuse, and just the overall stress of trying to make ends meet in our everyday lives can wound us mentally. I personally would take physical wounding over mental wounding. The scars are not visible with mental wounding but they can last a lifetime. I find mental exhaustion more extensive than physical exhaustion. What do you think?

With the economic crisis in our country, currently many people are suffering financial wounding. There are numerous corporate people who have devoted their lives to their jobs who are now facing layoffs. I was laid off over two years ago. It is difficult to replace a job that you have worked many years at, climbing the ladder and developing capabilities with a similar position. You can always step down and toss all of your expertise you have worked so hard to acquire aside and work at a supermarket, restaurant, or retail store. There most definitely is nothing wrong with those jobs, but in developing your skills you have also climbed the compensation ladder. Your income will not reflect all the skills that you have worked very hard to learn if you are forced to step down and take a different position to help make ends meet. It is especially wounding to be the sole earner in your household. My heart and prayers go out to people who have families to support. When the main supporter in a household has to take on another job (for a total of two) this could cause wounding in all of the areas mentioned above….physically, mentally, financially and emotionally. Because of the many hours this person will need to work to support his family this suffering is also passed on to the other members of the family.  They will have less time for their spouse, their children or even just relaxation time for themself.  This can create an enormous amount of stress.  Everyone ends up feeling like the victim.

 If you have been laid off, forced to take an early retirement or just need to make additional income perhaps you would interested in internet marketing business opportunities. I took an early retirement and am enjoying working online at home. If you chose this route, take advantage of the many tools out there. I am a member of the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group. I have shared this before, but this is a group of sincere professionals in the industry. They have all helped this grandparent develop skills I never knew I could learn. The Crazy Foxes recently released a new FREE report titled “DAM-IT“. If you are contemplating an internet marketing business opportunity I would highly recommend you read this report first.

Granted not everything on the internet is legit. One business I’ve discovered is Veretekk. It is a definite breath of fresh air. Tom Pendergast and Mike Darling, the owners, have hearts for the people involved with their company. They sincerely care and want to see their people successful. Their system is very powerful. Then there is the New Plan Network that offers a plethora of services. If you are going into a business where you need to track your results you will want to check into NPN and also ProTracker Plus. Both provide services that will be highly beneficial to you.

I wish you and your family solutions to your problems and healing for your wounds, whatever species they may be.

Blessings,
