Hi, my name is Stacey Kephart and I would like to thank you for visiting my blog. What I have to share with you on the "Home" page of this blog is so exciting that I can't wait for you to get back to it, but first I wanted to tell you a little bit about myself.
I am from Pennsylvania. Born and raised there, and been there ever since. I would love to travel someday and plan to do so in the future.
I am a single mother of 6 children, but it hasn't always been that way. After 8 years of marriage, my husband (who I will not name here, due to him possibly being ashamed of his actions!!!) decided that he did not want to be a husband or a father any longer, so he quit both. He left me with our 6 children who had been raised in a blended family environment for over 9 years.
With me being a stay at home mother for so many years, and being used to caring for the children on my own for so long as it was, I went to court and got custody of our 6 children. Ever since then, I have cared for them financially as best as I could without any financial and physical help of my ex- husband.
I have a great extended family who has been there and has supported me emotionally, which is great. I also have some close friends who have been there to hear me cry when times were tough, and to encourage me when I felt like giving up.
Now that things are stabilizing and the children are comfortable with the family situation, it gives me time to focus on myself a bit more, and time to focus on a way to get us out of this financial mess that my ex has left us with.
For several years I have tried to find a way to make money working from home. I have explored so many business opportunities that I could probably write a book. None of the programs that I have tried worked for me. Now that doesn't mean that those programs don't work for anyone, it just means that they did not work for me for one reason or another. And in all honesty, I am grateful now that they didn't work. I am sure that if I would have "struck it big" with one of those work from home programs, and made a lot of money with it, my husband would have stuck around longer and only stayed with us for the money.
So even though I didn't make any money, I sure did learn a lot. I have learned from some very good teachers. I have learned to market all over the internet, and now I am ready to put what I have learned to use. There is nothing to hold me back now. No one that is going to drag me down. The only place to go from here is up.
When I sit and watch my children and see how excited they get when they see something on television that they would love to have, it breaks my heart. When they ask me for things that I cannot afford, it hurts so bad to tell them that I cannot get it for them. When they talk about going on vacation and comment that the only way we could do that is if I won the lottery, then they comment that since I don't play the lottery, they will not go on vacation, it tears me up inside. When I think about the lack of support that their father pays in his attempt to torture us, it makes me so angry.
Well I am tired of being sad, tired of being angry. I am ready to put my knowledge to use and ready to get us out of this mess! Have you ever heard the saying that "change doesn't happen until something changes?" Or how about "people do not make a change until they are completely sick of the way things are?" Well I am sick of the way things are, and I am ready to make a change!
I want to say that I have not told you about myself and about my family to make you feel bad or sad for me in any kind of way. I just truly want you to see that I am a real person, with real problems, just like you may have. I am not some internet guru with a huge mailing list. I do have some internet marketing knowledge, but I am ready to learn and ready to earn with my team. I am looking forward to meeting new people, and working with a team of individuals who are ready to change their lives, just like I am.
