		<description>@ Terry: I bet you are glad to take a breather for a while. My gosh you done enough writing for a year. LOL. As you said, I too love working from home. I still have to pinch myself every now and then to make sure I really don't have a boss anymore.

Wooohooo...</description>

		<description>Ha! There's gold in them thar hills!

My casino review work has tailed off a little for the mo so I've found some time to relax a bit and read some blogs - its nice to come and say hi to you. 

The niches work is still piled up but its not going anywhere, so I just go through it as and when. Its so nice to be able to say, "I'll do the work when I decide," not when a boss says "I want it done yesterday." 

I love working for myself!!! 

I know you do too :-)</description>

		<description>@ Debra: exactly, often when we have heated discussions with people who respect each other we actually learn the most.

It's a little like brainstorming.</description>

		<description>I think Covey said it best when he said, 'Seek first to understand, then to be understood.'

Yeah - that's right -- i just pulled out a Covey quote. I'm not embarrassed at all.</description>

		<description>Hi Monika,

I think your post is exactly on target. When I was working as a hospital social worker, I used to sit on the hospital ethics committee. The chairperson started every meeting by reminding us that people of goodwill who absolutely had the best interest of the patients at heart could still disagree with each other. We had some spirited and even heated discussions on that committee, but I'm happy to say none of them turned hostile or abusive.</description>

		<description>@ Terry: I love you my friend as you are dead right. I actually own Wallace Wattle's book and have to cram it out of my bookshelf.

I thin k I already scared my first potential high paying client off as he never replied to my quotes. LOL, ces't la vie.

Anyway I'm now cool as a cucumber knowing what is mine is on its way and thanks to my great readers the ball has already started rolling. ;-)

As for the PR update, I blogged about that yesterday on Gob's blog as I noticed my new rank. But according to the comments nobody else has seen a change.

Maybe I got an early present. Great to see you here again I kind of missed you. But since you got your nose stuck in the niches I kind of understand.

Hell, that reminds me....</description>

		<description>@ Don: Hehehe...you can call me 30 any day. It is thanks to my heritage that keeps me looking fairly young. If I was born in Australia I would look a lot different already. Haven't seen many Aussies chicks at 40 with nice skin and no sun damage.

Oops, hope that isn't going to get me in trouble now. ;-)</description>

		<description>Hey Monika, congratulations are in order... your log just got some more Google love and is showing PR4 on my meter.

Its a month early, but I've been noticing some fluctuations in my own sites so it looks like its PR season again - bloggers will be blogging about it like mad!

As to the subject of your post - and yesterdays I'm totally in agreement with you. One of my own biggest "things" is injustice and it makes me angry whenever I see it. And being paid less that your worth is unjust. 

I've read all the other comments on this and it seems the general consensus is while we are worth more and deserve to be paid a fair fee for our work, we're fettered by the need to not just pay the bills, but to keep the dream of being independent by working for ourselves online alive. 

I believe that, more than anything else keeps us from realizing our true potential.

I'm guessing you've already read and are living The Secret, as I am - so its doubly frustrating to know (and I mean really KNOW) that the money, respect and credibility IS bubbling up just under the surface - its coming as long as you continue to believe its already here.

If you haven't already read it, get a copy of Wallace Wattle's "The Science of Getting Rich" as it's where The Secret came from and is a good way to keep re-affirming to yourself that the Law of Attraction is still working for you and the things you want are already on their way.

Then you will be able to throw off the shackles of X-amount of dollars per article and watch your own business thrive while you cherry pick the desperate needers-of-written-content's pleas for your services at a premium rate!

Don't you just love positive inspiration!</description>
