My Tribe: 66

I lost my job when the bank I worked for sold, so am unemployed and have found it nearly impossible to find another position. Had long thought about Internet Marketing from home, so was searching to educate myself on how to do so successfully. I luckily ran across Ian Pribyl's website and it was he who pointed me to the Wealthy Affiliate website.

I am the Mother of three, grandmother of four, and great grandmother of three! There are also two little poodle dogs who jealously argue over lap time with me. Invariably I find myself sitting at the computer with one or the other in my lap, and Becca loves to lay her head on the desk and watch the monitor as I write. These two pups are my self-appointed protectors and are no-nonsense guardians of all that comes within their line of sight. They express great umbrage for any and all who happen to innocently pass by on the street, pull into a neighbor's drive, or dare to knock on our door.

Born during the WWII era, I could be classified as either a Traditionalist or a Baby Boomer. However, with my birth date sitting on the line between the two, I haven't been able to make up my mind which I prefer to be, so have decided to draw insight from one or the other as it suits my fancy, or perhaps to press a point I am trying to make. Frankly, I am still having problems trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up, so who knows what I might choose to do on any given day!

I have a very large extended family and a genealogy that includes at least one documented Revolutionary soldier. I remain a small town girl who never got the sand out of her shoes, or lost her love for all things South-of-The- Mason-Dixon-Line. Family, community, friends, food, sun, nature, golf, a great fishing fleet, a bounty of rivers, lakes, creeks, and the great Gulf of Mexico make for an unbelievable magnetic force that keeps folks like me tied to the South.

Just a warning, I am a political news-junkie (and opinionated), and although I honestly try my best to be fair and balanced, I will invariably choose those conservative values instilled throughout my life. Most can agree that there are two polar opposite groups - both those with a far left ideology, and those with a far right ideology. Unfortunately they always seem to be front and center causing far too many folks to focus on their antics which overshadows the better points of each group. Although mistakenly misunderstood by some, conservative values are strong in faith, love, and empathy for one's fellow-man. Putting aside all the excessive drama, faux emotion, cheesy party talking points, and allowing all sides to calmly speak and reason, I hope to always consider the finer points of every disagreement. We are none right all the time. But I try.
