There are those moments in your life when time stops and years later you can remember exactly where you were, what you were wearing and the adrenalin rush of feelings that welled up inside you.
Here are a few snippets of those magical moments that I recall:

• When I received the first box of maraschino chocolate-covered cherries from my gangly boyfriend in ninth grade

• When I heard that President Kennedy had been killed (oops, that’s dating me)

• When I delivered two beautiful children

• When I held my dad’s hand as he quietly passed away

• When I made my first dollar (no, it was $3.50) online.

That $3.50 could have been $3,500 and it would have felt the same.  It was opening the floodgates to what I KNEW would be a healthy income that would support my dreams.

I received it through PayPal and I’ll never spend it.  That PayPal account will forevermore have $3.50 in it, just so I can recall the tremendous pride I felt when I read the Service@paypal “Commissions from …” email message .

I was wearing a lavender cashmere sweater and black pants.  I texted friends and danced to Bob Marley’s “Jammin”.  It was the beginning of a dream.  I had pushed the mountain aside …

So enough nostalgia, already.  That was my simple first-ever dollar-on-line story.

Can you remember when you made your first online dollar?  If so, please recapture your moment in the comments below.

I’ll enjoy it just ‘cuz you shared.
