I am a father of three, girl, boy, girl, all are now over 18. I have been married for 29 years as of 6-30-07, so yes, if you do the math I was married at 18, just after graduating high school. I am very aware of the pit falls of doing so, but we made it through the really tough times. I came to this site, because of my daughter, she also uses the site.
I am an author and have written three books, only one under this name, but it is not how I make my living. I am in business, working full time and I have a seasonal business in ponds, selling Koi, goldfish, water plants and supplies. I help people to plan and build ponds, as well as, maintenance if they need it.
I am not here for the ratings and could careless what you rate me. I will tell you things I know, I will tell you what you don't want to hear, but most of all, I will tell you things from my perspective. I have experienced a lot in my life, I have not lived with my head in the sand and I'm a realist, you want someone to blow smoke up your as*, don't read my writings, (I don't do fairy tales).
I am not so foolish as to think I am always right, I can only tell you what I know and give you something to think about. It is up to you to find out if I'm right or not.
Life is complicated, because people are complicated and one answer does not necessarily fit all, but that doesn't mean you should not consider what I say as a possibility.
Feel free to write me personally if you wish, there is only so much you can say in such a restrictive environment as this site is, it doesn't allow for proper conversation.
Thank you for coming to my column and giving me the chance to help.

Hello everyone,
just wanted to know how do i demand my worth?
I always end up getting less for my skills and somehow helping foundations and giving for free.
Nothing bad about it, i think i have been charitable enough, its just that i need to stand up and demand for my rate. I have to save up for the future. And i have to start now. But i dont know why i am always shy in dealing with money, rates, and asking price, etc.
I need help phow to overcome this without feeling too arrogant or pushy or swell headed.
I hope someone out there would understand my situation.
Thank you ! (link)

It is good to remember to help others and you should continue, it is helpful for the spirit. But you should put boundary's, on it. Place a percentage on it, say 10%, of what you make, your spare time is another thing. If you put a percentage on it, the more money you make, the more you give, see how this changes the dynamics? As to the rest, if you are controlled by the Spirit and not the Animal, you are worrying too much. Be well.
