Happy Valentine’s Day 2023

Happy Valentine’s Day to Everyone!

Re-reading the quote below made me think of those in Turkey and Syria who are suffering from the recent earthquake that devastated their lives and the lives of many others around the world.

My Heart Goes Out to Everyone Suffering.

“Enjoy the special day celebrating life as a living, breathing, human being. No matter how screwed up things may seem, know that there are millions of others who’d love to trade places and to have your problems. That is something I have to remind myself of when disgruntled because the world isn’t working according to Wayne.”

The above quote came from a previous post that rooted in a blog that I sent to my publisher in 2018 to post for me while I was still inside the United States Federal Bureau of Prisons. #Happy Valentine’s Day | STRAIGHT FROM THE PEN.

Well, the world won’t work according to Wayne. That’s okay, because even though things don’t turn out as I prefer on some days, at least I continue to do the right thing and have succeeded at doing many good things throughout my life.

I also feel blessed for having people in my life who love and care for me and who are willing to help me to accomplish some of my goals. And for that I remain grateful and thank my Higher Power, whom I chose to call God, for blessing me with another day to celebrate.

Another Experimental Project! In affiliate marketing, which is a field I continue to explore, I am in pursuit of an effective way to increase passive income as part of my successful reentry program that began August 28, 2018.

This particular experiment on WordPress.com involves an available linking method known as Press This. I find an ad or product I like, and then click the icon for Press This and then the product I chose automatically converts to a blogpost that I can publish immediately, as I originally did with this one, or save it to edit before posting.

In this case, I posted it and then saved it as a draft, which unpublished it. Sorry for the inconvenience to those who automatically receive my latest content.

In the case of this particular product that the price of has almost doubled since I first purchased a bottle of it from Amazon in October 2020, I know it works and will provide evidence at the bottom of this post.

Thanks for participating in my experimental project and successful reentry into society.

Simple tasks are not always easy to figure out until I stop trying so hard. For instance, when posting YouTube and More last week, I wanted to refer everyone to my particular items for sale on Mercari, but failed to figure out the process I was sure existed.

Too Tired to Think!

YouTube and More

Shooting for Stars

Somewhere in the horizon, I see a star that I am shooting for that I know I can reach if I stay focused and do not stop trying to succeed.

Is this the beginning of stardom, StraightfromthePen on YouTube? Maybe, once I learn more about how to use YouTube, and find a house to create a physical YouTube Studio inside of so that I can really focus on what I am doing. At this juncture I am in a learning curve and an experimental stage to learn what works and what does not.

As stated, I am experimenting with what I can do and how to use YouTube. I don’t really understand what is listed as the YouTube Community, but do think is it what allows followers to receive posted content from subscribers, which reminds me, please Like, Follow, and Subscribe. StraightfromthePen.
