I LAUGH at all I see....and LAUGH at what people put me threw......because it is me they enjoy stepping on to get where they need to go. I am led by love and hurt by it. I give to much and karma takes care of my needs..I have "dumb luck." I love finding cool spots to chill and enjoy the colors of nature. Everyone I come in contact with each day is brought into my life for a reason........... music is the soundtrack to my life..... GOALS: 1.get threw divorce with full custody of children. 2.

Have any ideas, advice, or assistance of any kind? Getting life back and on track ready to move on!

I am a 43 yr old single mother of four boys ages 23,18, and twins 11. My oldest son is on his own and my 18 yr old stays with my mother, My twin boys live with me. I do not reieive any help from the father but has money to take out his girlfriend every weekend. My one twin son has a prosthetic leg and is a Shriners Patient. He has been going there since he was 3 months old. My boys are doing very well in school. My son and I receive disability but that just gets us by a little. Our van is in dire need of repair so I can take them to drs, appts and free outings. I would like to start my own business with artificial flower arrangements. I have done 6 wedding for friends and they all say I should do my hobby as a profession. I cannot find any programs that will help me with my dream of doing flowers. The place we live now is alling apart and the landlord wont fix things. I know about the tenants rights but so many people get kicked out anyway. I would like to buy the place we are in eventually when my business gets going. I want a beautiful home for my boys and I want them to be happy. I have been through alot the past few yeaars and was at the lowest point in my life. Somehow I pulled through and now I would like to have a happy life and home for my boys and myself. I dont know who can help me get my van fixed or get another used vehicle and help me with my dream of starting my business. Can someone guide me into the right direction? I would be so appreciative and thankful. Im not a quitter and Im not giving up just because the father is not helpful. I would like to prove him wrong and get on my feet with a brand new attitude and life for my boys and myself. Please if anyone can help let me know. Thank you and God Bless you all.

Sorry i havent been here in a while. Life is back to full time! kids in school im in school and everthing in between that! I love my classes, am really excited this go around. I get my testing completed tuesday to see if i have a learning disability. Very movies how they test. Makes u want to do your best. Its important to know our full potienl I know im  smart as a whip, but i think i learn differently than most. No big deal!!!!! Well still in the struggle, everyday is a new problem, but like most things in life we have to take care of our life and loved ones one day at i time. One problem at a time. The best thing that happened to me this month.

Im a big fan of exposing children to as much as possible, sports, acting, books, music, history, ect.... Thats very hard to do when your a mother of 3 boys, and the money is not there....BUT.. :) there is a boxing, kick boxing, brand new, just 2 blocks from my house.  i have wanting to get my 10 year old in therefor 4 months now. He is my son with a learning disability. Loves sports, and just has a golden outlook on family, and being a good person. Often he is hurting in side, and has no outlet. I talked to those great people there, they gave my son 1 free month. martial arts included and 80 a month. I live in a small town, and was very blessed. Now i know how imporant it is to keep him in the program. He loves it.The feeling i got from helping get somewhere new in life was the biggest reward i could have. P.S After his first day, he was so excited as if it was christmas eve.

My story starts in 2007, our little girl got sick one day. She was taken by her daddy to the doctor and only was getting worse. She was then taken by EMS to the hospital. All this time I was at work, not able to get to her. Then I was taken to her at the hospital. I didn't not leave her side for more than 14 days.  She was take by air to Tulsa hospital. Where we stayed in ICU.. At this time my daughter was 4 she turn 5 in April 2007. Then to move the story up. In Jan, 2008 amost one year to the date we lost our little ladybug... she passed on Jan. 23. This was five days after her brothers birthday to make things worse for our little boy. We have an older son that his birthday is 5 days before hers. This little girl was so full of life and love to dances and go to school. There was nothing that she wouldn't do. To this day we still do not know what happen to her. She was noted that it was unknown. To live with that everyday is the hardest thing for our family to deal with. I don't know why we have to not know. My bestest problem is that we are living in the same place where we brought her home to? !!  We have just got a building up this summer but that is all that we have been able to do. My husband is trying to do all the work him self and he is working 2 jobs to make this happen. We are at a stand still right now because the job that he was using the money to by the windows has came to a stop right now. We are needing about $2000-$2500. to beable to finish the windows and the foam spray that we need to put in it.  Our goal was to be able to be in it before this Christmas.  This is the hardest thing is to stay in the same house. I just want to see her walk down the hall or sit with me and watch tv or talk.  Now, that I had to have surgery and I am not able to walk for at least another 6 weeks if all worked on the surgery. It's like it's not ment for us to have anything or even to have any pease in our lives. I just wish that I could do something to be able to make this dream to come true for my husband and sons.... mostly the youger son because he has lost so much and want a new begin.  We hope one day that we can maybe even adopt to help our another child.  I miss my daughter every mintue of my life. There is not a day gone by that I don't wish that I could have another hug, or kiss from her. Someday I will.... I know but never soon enough.  There is always something in our way not making it happen it seems.

***   As a mother a loss of a child is the worse in the world. I just know that it's so hard to stay in the same place where she was and knowing that she is not coming to you any more. Belive me that I know I will never for get her. When I losing her I was holding her and I can not explain that feeling to anyone other than I will never forget it and will hold on the that last moment FOREVER in my HEART!!!

To whom it may concern:

My last day of work was April 30, 2009.  I have been looking for work ever since.  Presently I am still unemployed; while attending college during the day for Paralegal studies.  My former employer told the VEC that I refused work that they offered me; on the very next day of being laid off.  I now have to wait for my appeals date.  In the mean time I am three and a half car payments behind.  I need to save my car; inorder for me to continue to look for work, and evenually get to work once I do find a job.  If I could get a loan of 1,600 to pay all of my late fees as well as my total car payment; I could pay fifty dollars back each month until the balance is paid in full.  This is my most important debt right now, and it would be a great deal of pressure off of me if I could achieve this goal.

If you can help please feel free to call me at 804-503-1380.

Thank you

This is a story about never giving up on your dreams and the lessons I've learned to overcome trauma in order to transform it into love.

In the past I attracted men who claimed to love me but never showed the actions to support it.  My first boyfriend when I was 16 raped me and cheated on me with a 13 year old.  I have so far experienced 5 more sexual assaults. After the last one I realized that the men who inflicted the pain upon me were suffering more than I ever could because they do not know how to give and receive affection or compassion.

Six years after meeting one of my soul mates he went missing and was murdered before I could tell him that I loved him. From then on I promised myself to be fully present in the moment and to be grateful each day I get to experience paradise with those I love.

Last year I quit my job because I discovered that they were poisoning me by exposing me to chemicals that were labelled "Marine Pollutant" and knowing that my brain is 80% water I had to quit because the upper management did not want to hear about alternatives.  I have yet to find steady work to make ends meet since then.  Later that year my husband, after five months of supporting him financially and emotionally, became so violent that the people in the apartment below us heard had to call the police for me!

Two weeks ago I borrowed some money so that I could spend 8 days with a person I had only interacted with online prior to leaving.  My intuition told me to just trust in this adventure and he turned out to be the man that I've been dreaming of and we had the greatest time of our lives so far!!!  We have the same passions, lifestyle choices and long-term goals.  We have quickly developed a deep desire to be with each other because we know that we both are incredibly unique and we feel like we've found our truest match!  Our dream and long-term goal is to open a holistic healing retreat centre in Costa Rica where we would be featuring natural building techniques, local, gourmet raw food, Quantum healing touch, various Yoga techniques, Horticulture Therapy and surf camps. 

The are a few factors that are keeping us apart.  I'm Canadian, he's American and we're both in debt.  I still need to pay for a divorce, legal aid and moving expenses.  The apartment that I live in currently is where my husband assaulted me.  The building manager happens to be the mother of my first rapist and by chance my next door neighbour happens to be an abusive ex-boyfriend.  I haven't been able to afford to move and for 6 months I was disabled by Post-traumatic stress disorder and couldn't work. 

My greatest desire now is to connect with a man who has shown me the most love, appreciation and kindness I have ever experienced!  I want to be able to finally celebrate and grow within a relationship; after overcoming so much I know I deserve to be happy!!! 

Having dreams are what have kept me resilient, creative and alive after all the trauma that I've experienced.  If my dreams were taken away from me, I would have nothing to live for.  I greatly desire just for once that I will see my dreams become a reality!  I would love to see a transformation from trauma into a fairy tale that ends happily ever after!!!

in loving remembrance

PLease help, please help me become the happy person i once was. I will be beyond grateful.

                                             Sincerely,                                                                                                                                  Tim L.

Hi, 

My name is Jamie Nichols, I'm a mother  of 5 kids. I don't know how to say this all yet i will. currently seeking and actively everyday seeking employment. Have sought after agencies here in florida to help me with my situation. To me my Job right now is to find or create a Job and to be honest it is not easy and yet it is doable. I'm currently with out work and have five kids looking  at me saying I'm hungry and not even that much to that point. They don't have to ask me to keep a place for them live. I strive for that. I'm behind on rent and need to pay them right now 850.00 dollars and my utilites are about out my phone is off and I really don't know what today. If some one out there knows anything i can do or want to donate even one dollar would you. One dollar goes a long way when you don't have it to give to your childern. I'm currently starting a fund for Single parents across the nation called "The Nichols Trust Foundation" it is non-profit and If you would like to donate you can. All we ask for one dollar or even 0.50 cents. It goes a long way. Do any one have any solutions I might have forgotton to help my self.  If You have any suggestions or thoughts email me here: jamie.nichols1@gmail.com or you may call me at: (904) 685-8981 or even email me at this email as well, ore@bcq7.com so that way I don't miss any messages or calls please i really need help.

I remember a time when I used to think that being really busy was getting me somewhere closer to “accomplishment”. It wasn’t nothing for me to be going to school full time, working full time, raising children, working on projects for myself, and volunteering for an organization. My mornings consisted of driving a 1 hour commute, while drinking coffee, putting on make-up, and talking on the phone. My afternoons consisted of me rushing to pick up kids in traffic, talking on the phone, eating a snack, and stressing. (Continue)

As an SBC, I keep getting clients, who come in and want to start a business, which I think is great. But after the initial conversation starts, I ask what is your goals? What is the purpose of the business? Where do you want to be in 1, 3, 5 years?

In a blank face, they go Huh!!

Then the thinking starts. When you want to open a business, there is something that needs to be created before you start one. That’s a business plan. When creating a business plan, 40% of the plan is creating a goal for your business. The business plan helps set up goals and a direction of where you are starting and where you are going.

I’ve learned that you need to set goals before you start to open the front door of your business because it help give you a direction. It helps you as a business owner to get a direction going that will help you find that pot of gold that you are looking for. If you have a dream, then you need a direction. And a direction is a goal. 

Setting goals for a business is easier than you think. Because when the idea of a business starts, it goes hand in hand with a goal that you want to accomplish. When opening a small business or a at home business. Always, start with the end in mind. That will help you accomplish the many task that you are getting ready to face happen easier.

To set goals in your business, think what is going to make the company grow. How are you going to make it profitable, what do you need to do to make it independent. What goal setting really does is keep you on track.

Lots and lots of time, I see people fail in opening their small business because no goals are set. The dream is there but reality hits and there is no plan and no goal. There is no direction. They want it bad but they keep going round and round with ideas but nothing is set in stone. There is no blue print, no structure, and no form.

So when thinking and wanting a small business or at home business take some time and learn and do a goal. Make it about 5 goals that you want to accomplish them and I promise you that when you do that. The task in hand in opening a business will become very easy for you. You become successful faster and stronger and you will have a winning business, small or large.   

I'm a 21 year old young woman who really wants to get into college. My goal is to be involved with the arts. Art school has always been where I wanted to be, but, it's sadly very expensive. The hours that I work aren't enough, though I try to get as many as I can. Scholarships and grants can only do so much, and I fear that loans will only send me futher into debt. Anything that would be helpful, I'd be grateful for. Thank you for your time. If there's any advice or help you have, please contact me at missfuller9@yahoo.com

I am in a bind :( It seems like no matter what I do I can't get myself out of this financial rut. I am a 21 year old woman who has made some financial mistakes and am now in the process of cleaning them up. It's getting hard to pay off debts AND keep up with my current bills. I've always worked hard, made goals, and I even accomplished a few on my own. I found this site just googling different keywords and I thought maybe there will be someone out there who is fortunate enough to help someone less fortunate. I am in no way looking for an outright hand out. I just simply need some assistance and maybe someone could use mine. I am open minded and creative enough to figure out a way I may be of some assistance to someone who is generous. I am in the cosmetic field so I can offer anything from makeup to a massage. I can also help someone organize their office, home, etc. I can keep someone company or maybe be the company for a loved one. So, if there is someone out there who is willing to hear me out and lend a hand to help me through this hard time please respond to this posting with what you have in mind. I am honest, upfront, and very respectable.  I am well mannered and well groomed. I am not someone who takes things for granted or someone who finds pleasure in using people. I've been appreciative for everything I have recieved in life and am thankful for each day and try to stay positive despite the obstacles placed before me. With or without some assistance I am sure that my goals will be met. I would just like someone there to lighten the load and possibly allow me to acomplish these goals sooner with less stress. Thanks to whoever is taking the time to read this and I hope this sparked someones interest. :) If not, still have a nice day!

I AM SEEKING A GRANT OR SCHOLARSHIP TO PAY FOR THE EDUCATIONAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH MY RETURNING TO COLLEGE TO BECOME A TEACHER. I HAVE WORKED FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION FOR 7 YEARS AS A CORRECTIONAL OFFICER, AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD A DESIRE IN MY HEART TO GO TO COLLEGE IN ORDER TO BECOME A TEACHER.

I TRULY FEEL THAT I CAN MAKE A POSITIVE CHANGE IN THE LIVES OF THE CHILDREN THAT I TEACH. I HAVE WITNESSED FIRST HAND, WORKING WITH THE DEPT OF CORRECTION WHAT HAPPENS TO CHILDREN WHO DONT GET MOTIVATED AND ENCOURAGED IN THEIR CHILDHOOD; I HAVE LEARNED THAT THOSE KIDS BECOME ADULTS WHO END UP MAKING DECISIONS THAT USUALLY RESULT IN DEATH OR INCARCERATION. I FEEL THAT WITH THIS KNOWLEGE INSTILLED IN ME I CAN BE THAT POSITIVE ROLE MODEL THAT SO MANY CHILDREN NEED AND DESIRE, AND IF I CAN PREVENT ONE PERSON FROM MAKING A WRONG DECISION THAT WILL DESTROY THEIR LIFE THEN I HAVE FOUND SUCCESS.

I DONT HAVE MANY NEEDS REGARDING EDUCATIONAL WISE, I COULD USE THE EXTRA MONEY TO PAY FOR MY SCHOOLING, AND I COULD ALSO AFFORD TO PAY MY BILLS SO THAT I CAN WORK LESS AND PAY MORE ATTENTION TO MY EDUATION.
