From Christina:

Even though I’ve been to Cedar Point many times, and have been on the biggest and fastest roller coasters in the world, this journey is THE biggest and baddest roller coaster ride of all time.

I was feeling so free, so high for so long. It was just like going up that first big hill on the coaster. With each click-clack, click-clack the excitement got more and more intense. The excitement had time to build and build and build until… WHOOSH!

What a thrill!

But then…that’s it? I mean, that hill was fun, but now what??

Even though I’m an avid believer of Law of Attraction, I’m still amazed when it shows itself so vividly in my life. As I was taking my most recent downward coaster ride into fear, loneliness and depression, my affiliate sales took a huge nosedive. All I saw in my reports were $0, $0, $0 and $0. Which caused me to feel even more fear and more depression. What a freakin’ failure! I have been laid off for 10 months and I’m still not making it?!

Life around me started to look bleak and almost agonizing at times. My son and I were battling it out on an almost minute-by-minute basis. It was a relief (for both of us, I think) on the days he went to pre-school. I started taking my husband’s anti-anxiety medications more often than I care to admit.

And then I started to remember again why I’m here. To enjoy that roller coaster ride. The ups and the downs. And to have FUN with all of this. The world is our playground. We can do anything we desire here. And we could not be more worthy of it.

And you know what? Once I started feeling better, the sales started coming through again. In fact, I had my best week ever last week! My son and I started to get along, our family felt whole again. (It was never NOT whole, it just seemed like that from my screwy perspective.)

I can’t say I’ll never take that ride down into darkness again. I’m sure I will. After all, I’m here to experience all kinds of things in life. Every up, every down is a chance to appreciate where I am and where I’m going. And when I get off this crazy ride, I know I’ll say “I can’t wait to do it again!”
