Mary-Anne’s Monologue

May 22, 2007

Hi All:

I am going to start writing on Mary-Anne’s Monologue so I can keep you updated on what is going on with Lookingforadvice.org and another website I am putting up. It is called “Problemtalk.com” and will be a “for pay” site. This way I can keep Lookingforadvice.org free and a “nonprofit” site. Problemtalk.com will be for counseling families that are having problems between teens, young adults and their parents. It will be on line like Lookingforadvice.org and also in person counseling service.
The income from Problemtalk.com will be used to support Lookingforadvice.org and keep it a free site as I have always promised it would stay. It will also be used to support my living and a way for me to make a living as I am now considered permanently disabled and unable to work outside my home. I have been blessed with an attorney who believes in what I am doing and that my “Technique” is definitely a winner. He is charging me very little which as we all know is unheard of with attorney’s. I have Lookingforadvice.org done and it is now legally a “non-profit” corporation. I will be getting my Federal ID number within the next month and then I will be able to advertise and start to work hopefully doing seminars, writing to help on line and in person with teens and young adults. I am getting the basic equipment for the deaf so that I can start to hopefully do some work on line through Google. Then I am going to approach the school system about teaching kids and teachers my technique which I have named “Life-Works.” With the deaf equipment and unfortunately I am having to be put in a wheelchair to get around but whatever it takes to help you kids I am willing to do. It is all coming together as if this is the way God wants it to so that I can teach my new technique to you kids and to the school system and the judicial system. From there it is up to you. Only you can pull it all together but you have to have the “Life Skills” to do it with. That is what I am working so hard to put together for you and have been using with you for the past 7 years on line. It has worked without fail. The only time it fails is if you do not use what I teach you so that you can have all that you need to make your life work the way you want it to. That is why I have named it “Life-Works” because it does. If you apply the skills that I am going to be giving you I promise you there is absolutely no way you can fail because none of you are a failure to begin with and you never will be. I will always be here in the background to help you with any problems. I have worked with over a thousand of you from all over the world and none of you have let me down. It is true we are all one and you are all successes that just need the right tools to help you find your way. I am so honored to have the privilege to be given this work and the knowledge to teach you. I have lost so much when I became ill and then deaf but your success and all that I have been given back through being given this new Technique “Life-Works” has made what I have lost nothing compared to what I have been given back through your success. From the Middle East, Europe back to America there is not one of you who is not a success waiting to happen and together we are going to make all of you the success you are just hang in there with me. You will meet your potential if it is really what you want BUT you must do the work. Nothing will happen if you don’t want it. I will supply you with the Skills, Knowledge, the Support and the never ending 24/7 crisis intervention.
The third announcement is that I am writing a book for you. Several of you that have been with me for a long time already know about the book but I do want to make it official to all of you. This will explain why I am taking longer than usual in answering your emails. I am sorry about that but the book will be worth it for you. It will cover everything hopefully that you will have wanted to know about who you are, how you are growing into yourself and most of all what the kids who have encouraged me into writing this book for you have wanted to know which is about the opposite sex. I am going to go into detail about what happens between the ages of 13 to 25. I did not pick these ages at random. I have learned that very specific mental, physical and emotional processes take place. Hopefully explaining what is going on inside and outside of you in this age group will help you understand not only yourself but again help you understand the opposite sex so that you can answer and understand many of the questions and problems you encounter in this age group. It is a sort of youth “Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus” type of book just for you but much much more so that you can understand yourself better. You will be able to change yourself because you understand what is taking place and you can also understand and learn how to stop going crazy with not understanding the opposite sex. I figure hey, I have been talking to you for over 7 years, both sexes from all over the world. Who could be more loaded with knowledge than someone who has been had over a thousand young people open themselves up to you. I hope this book will help you learn about yourself, your family, your friends and the best I can give about the dating and games that we all go through as we grow into ourselves and adults.
I wish I had, had a book like this when I was your age maybe I would have saved myself a lot of heartache and maybe even have been able to figure out what the heck was going on before I got taken.
I am excited about this book and the knowledge I have gained over the years working in psychology and the 7 years talking and helping you find the answers to your problems. I hope it is a real keeper for you and will guide you through these rough years maybe even saving you from some real heart aches and teach you what you could not have gotten if I had not written this book for you. It will be a true keeper. Be straight, gay, whatever at least you will have a Bible of self growth to find whatever you are looking for and understand so many things that we are not taught anywhere. Now you can get the answers for yourself where you could have not gotten before. Find the answers to not only the game of love, but also major help in finding yourself and most of all growing into and changing yourself into who and what you want to be.
OK this is a lot I have taken on but hopefully we will all learn a wealth of growth, knowledge with wisdom that our parents are still searching for. You have taught me a lot too from working with you. I took 6 years of in depth research, studying, stopping my whole life to put this book together for all of us. It is written for you but it is also very appropriate for adults too. I hope to follow this youth book up with an adult book but the youth book can be used by adults as it is written now. I use it to live my life and it has changed my whole life.
For now that is what is happening and why I am taking so long to respond to your emails.
If you still have a question or problem after you get this please write me again and I will respond as soon as I can. I will always answer your email it just may take longer. If you have a crisis please put in “subject” that it is a crisis and I will stop and answer you immediately. Otherwise I am behind, working on these things I have told you about and will answer your email as soon as possible. Do stay in touch and know I am here just trying to make it with my health, pull all this together and get this book done for all of us as soon as possible. I will keep you updated and pray this book is a best seller for all of us so I know I did good work and am able to put this new Technique out there for everyone to learn from and make their lives work the way they want. “Your Life Rules” is what it is all about. Let’s make it happen for all of us.
Stay with me, any questions, any problems, write me and forgive me for the length of time I have been making you wait for your email responses.
Keep writing and if you have anything now write ASAP and I will respond. I am always here for you and hope with all I am trying to put together and fight my illnesses and deafness you will be right in there with me as I need you. Only through you am I a success.
Talk to you soon and write I will answer :).
Mary-Anne

Welcome to Looking For Advice:

This site is a Non-Profit Organization that is Free to all Teens and Young Adults around the world.

Looking for Advice is designed and totally caters to :

Teens and Young Adults

13 years old to 29 years old Only

This is YOUR WEBSITE.
Why? Because everything on here and everything I am going to be adding step by step as I am able to get the funding will be to reach and help thousands of kids world wide.

You can read about what is coming on the left hand column or on the About Us page.

This is a unique site in that it has been up for free (by the grace of God) for 8 years.

Another unique part of Looking for Advice is that I have kids who have been with me for 8 years because they know they can come here as they grow through their teens and 20’s as they meet new challenges and they come back to learn the skills that equip them to handle and solve whatever they are faced with.

You are the first generation of the technological age. This has brought about new and different challenges that no one has had to confront before. You are the beginning of the 21st century that will be known as the technological age in history. With all of this we are all facing and having to re-create our world today and find answers to meet the challenges facing our world today. Most important is how to help you be meet these new challenges of today so that you can become the future of tomorrow.

We are all evolving. We all have problems especially in today’s new and ever changing world. We all feel the stress and take it out in different ways. Whatever you are uncomfortable with be it your own thoughts, loss of direction, hurting yourself, addictions, low self-esteem, loss of an important relationship. Whew, or you just don’t understand the opposite sex, your grades have gone down, you have parental issues, you name it, this is where you can get the guidance, skills, caring and professional counseling that will teach you “HOW” to work through whatever you are facing. Everyone has the answers for you but no one helps you step by step to develop the “HOW” of all these good intentions from peers, parents, counselors, professionals.

At Looking for Advice I can teach you the “HOW” to find the answers to your life from within. I don’t use conventional therapy. I teach you what I have discovered through research and years of hard work and through the work I have done over the past 8 years on Looking For Advice. I compiled it all and it has turned out to be a complete life growth technique that works 100% that is if you are really ready to change. If you want to stop hurting, being angry, get over your addictions then this is your answer. If you really want to change yourself into what you thought you could only envy in others Life-Rules can do it. That is why I named it Life-Rules because all the answers are in you and once you learn the skills on how to find those answers nothing can stop you from being and having whatever you set your mind to by following the Natural laws of life. Kids it comes down to CHOICES AND CONSEQUENCES.

You can stay the way you are or you can do the work and learn the skills to make whatever changes you want in yourself and your life. As long as there are no underlying psychological problems that need to be addressed and treated first. This is all about "self growth," "life skills" and meeting the challenges of life.

I hope you come in and write me. Of course I can not teach all of Life-Rules especially for free. It would take all my time so I hope to have a CD made soon to give you a “quick fix” guide to the main problems and questions kids write me about and I have written a book which I hope to get published that will teach you all of Life-Rules.

First though, kids have asked me to write a book about the opposite sex since I am privy to inside information about both sexes and what they really want, need and think about themselves and the opposite gender. It is called “Secrets of the Heart.” I hope I can find a way to get it published real soon.

For now whatever brought you here, write me. Everything is confidential and everyone uses their real name because they know my site is secure.

I am here for you and Life-Rules has all that you need to work through all that challenges you today, tomorrow and the future.

Come in and look around - remember KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

Thank you for coming to Looking For Advice,

Mary-Anne - Your guide to your personal Life-Rules.
