Personal Struggles to Success in a Changing Economy

Wow, what a week I had. Being a Realtor is a people business. A business that deals with people during emotionally trying times. Let’s face it, buying a house is the largest purchase most people make in their lifetime and often scary along the way.
However as our elected officials turn their backs on the individuals and seek the security of large corporate interests and international banker community life in America gets harder and harder for each of us Americans after each decision they make.
What is my point of writing about this?
I’m saddened by the extra financial stress pushing families over the edge into divorce or just negative change. Home sellers and buyers are thrust into looking for a new place to live because “materialism just isn’t what tv and the local gossiping mother of 2 perfect little children” told them it was.
Yet, just when bad news after bad news hits, I get an email from a long time friend (almost said old friend!) that documents how she lost her home and business in a foreclosure that was not even hers!
With practically ZERO income and no apparent prospect for work, this 73 year old women decided life was going to be what she made it to be and went on to launch an exciting chapter in her life. Knowing that others are facing similar hard times she documented a series of lessons that can help all of us overcome what the ultra wealthy are doing to our lives.
Here is an excerpt from her ebook that I recommend:
Homeless @ 73
How one gutsy Senior Citizen faced a year of being homeless and how she overcame obstacles that might put other folk in the hospital.
Unwilling to be crippled by circumstances, Janice Myers not only came back from disaster, she had fun doing it!
Her whole life changed overnight. Instead of staying stuck in the dark, she put a positive spin on a hopeless situation and turned on the lights for the rest of us!
Janice Myers gives you a personal glimpse into a major crisis in her life and her search to find the answers.
With no training in how to deal with the
total devastation of an ‘end-of-the-world event,

Quoting Janice |
| I’ve always been of the opinion that the person who has actually done a job ‘hands-on’ is much better qualified to show you how to do it than the person who has only learned the subject from books, no matter how well they have learned the text.A lot of those ‘qualified’ folk have already written more books than you will ever be able to read, about how to manage your life in a crisis. But, when the actual crisis comes, those books seem small comfort.
Wipe-out is still wipe-out, whether you have been faced with foreclosure and eviction as I was, or your relationship went south, or you lost your job. You don’t need a book. You need a hand reaching out to you in the dark, pointing the way. Someone who has actually been there. I got to the crossroads and the signs were all gone. The books all told me to take the road to peace and fulfillment, but there was no sign post to tell me which way to turn.
When you stop at the intersection and wonder which way to turn, I’m right there, leaning against that old sign-less post, ready to give you a clear signal. That’s all this is; just my own view of what the road ahead looked like to me. That road was completely unknown and I needed a guide. I know what I found ahead of me will be of help to you as you travel the same stretch of road I did. You may venture on further than I did before you meet your destination, and you may have to stop and ask directions again, from some other pathfinder who has already trod that way, but I know you will be speeded on your journey by the directions I can give you right here and now. When you have reached your destination and are able to return to these crossroads, I’ll be right here, waiting. Please look me up and let me know what else you have discovered on the way and how this little booklet helped you on your journey. |

Keep Looking Up, for your redemption draws nigh!!!!!!!!!!!!
