LOST

Not sure what I need other then everything.

We just moved miles away to get a new start and we have that but since moving here we have run out of oil twice. Our car went up in smoke. We pay our rent to keep our apartment before everything else so our heads are always protected. I suffer depression already but it is hard having people that want you to fix everything you cant. We only answer our phone when it is someone we know. I got my credit back on track then someone stole my wallet a week before we moved here and now it is in toilet again. When will the world stop dumping on us?

My sons father is upset he cant see his son more but we are on the bus line it stops almost at our door.
My son cries to see his dad and then when his dad calls he yells at us that we need to move back..that wont fix the issues. Then we will be homeless as we couldn't find an apartment there. Not to mention we dont have the down payment on an apartment if we cant fix the engine of the car.

We also have severe hoarding issues appearing in my two older children. I try to keep up with it as i was a extreme hoarder three years ago but it is hard for me to even look at it as then i just want to cry. once a week I go and clean it out...

Help bring a little happiness to our home.

My name is Rene'e and I live on a fixed income and I don't ask for much of anything, but all my life I have raised seven brothers and sisters and people that I could help when I could, but now I need help, but I'm to modest to ask. I live with chronic lower back pain and hips pain. Now I can barely move the way I use to and all I do now is sit at home with no friends, but my companion and his health is as bad as mine. He lives with lung cancer, bad legs,and other health problems. We can barely make ends meet. All we want is a red Wii with two games, Sonic and Animal Crossing for Xmas to have something to do with our lives, and time. We stay to ourselves and I feel that he will enjoy that, because he says that way we can both exercise together. We also need food for ourselves and our dog, Poochie. If that wish comes true that will make the best Xmas of all.H

Changes

I will never understand how things are always different. I do realize that things change and that is life. But God never changes and yet sometimes people act as if he does. Go fuguire what is the ryme and reason. Or in the famous words facked for us: Blame It On The Rain.

 God bless you all and keep you warm and safe!

Trying to find my niche...

I wander the world wide web, looking for that 'perfect niche' that I know doesn't exist. I compare myself to Beatle George.  For the most of it, his material was suppressed outside of his 1-2 songs per album. After the Beatles' break-up, he was first to come out with something -- and what  a something it was! A triple album entitled 'All Things Must Pass' which I love, feel and breathe. And it blasted right to a well-deserved #1.

Since my new-found freedom, I started a telecommunication company, which is nearing its 2-year anniversary. It's NY State Certified, partnered with Ingram Micro and a Cisco select partner, and in the local and the U.S. Women's Chambers of Commerce.

Today, I am also a journalist, a photojournalist, a roving reporter, and a critic. I promote local everything as well and write everywhere.

Most importantly to me though, is I have become a friend of the local music scene - the bands, the promoters, the staging crews, the venue managers and owners and the fans. I have come out to meet them and we have literally hugged. I even hand out prizes to try and find people who may need just to know someone understands, or to be a spark of hope, and meet hundreds of people every weekend.  My friendship and fan base on Facebook exploded.  People actually care about me and what I have to say. The reason why, unfortunately, is a common ground - domestic violence and abuse.

This writing is not to mull about that. I just want to write, and can't find anywhere that it fits in tonight.  I've been writing for several blogs, columns and specialty visits, and I love to do it. I am proud that my writings get a huge following and response. My issue is I don't know what to do with it next.  I feel that I need an action item.

The EXPOSURE Concert is really getting alot of hype... I'm getting ready to launch a street crew spearheaded by my daughter, Jackie. Many of the bands have been impacted, directly or indirectly, and the cause is personal to them; so it's a full circle for so many of us. We are uniting to expose it, because that's the only way out.

My next set of goals include launching a radio show promoting stuff I think is cool, calling out the next hits in music, recommending bands that I think have "the sound," and helping people in their relationships in whatever way people want me to... funny, or drop-dead serious. I'm here for them, not for me.

I am a music historian and live melodies. I got over the fact my musical intake and exposure was stifled for 22 years only listening to classic rock... since September 2008 I left that stale arena and starting with Temple of the Dog's 'Hungerstrike', taught myself everything since, with YouTube, Wiki, searches and forums. I get it now, I'm back in the saddle, and lovin every minute of it! I have learned who Pearl Jam was and is, and have actually painted 'Alive' in my bathroom, because I didn't want the same-old dolphin or ocean theme.

Stuff I thought was off limits for me... from finding jewelry and clothes that I think are 'me'.. to traveling I find myself doing.. I've gone to help my very best friend since 1st grade out in Red Rock, Arizona, and also flew to Los Angeles, for a week, saw Laguna and Venice Beach with another friend since grammar school; companies were fly me to NYC and LA, this was amazing. I turned my business trip into a 'Peace Mission' and my friend will attest, as well as the hundreds of Facebook photos, I made tons of friends, met lots of musicians, and they have sent me really touching emails saying how they love what I'm doing. How rewarding to me. It only makes me want to go more. Reach more people. Make a difference and keep it going.

I show everything to my Facebook friends, it was really cool getting ariel pics, especially of sunrise descending over Chicago, to Eddie Vedder's 'Rise' a beautiful song featuring mandolin, a very spiritual feel. Music means so much to me. At my own house, TV has been non-existent since April, 2008. The radio is on from my waking til my sleeping moment, every single day. I keep abreast of current events by reading the news online, and overviews of my facebook friends.

I had to un-learn all the stuff that was embedded and beaten into my beliefs... and started to learn for myself, and draw my own conclusions. I find that people are pretty cool.  Ya gotta stay away from the negative, the whiney, the woa is me folks, and the drama freaks, but after a while, you learn how to pick them out. I can't believe all the amazing, positive, good people, that I have met in the past year. I've partied with tons of facebook friends virtually, which means chatting while having a few beers. Its great.  We get to know each other without leaving the house, no drinking and driving, just chilling and talking about stuff happening in our worlds.

I believe things fall apart so other things fall together, often we miss our calling because we're too busy with little crap to notice, that we don't take the time to acknowledge people, and put too much into shiny things.

Don't tell me for one minute that you can't make a difference. I am one person. I have made a difference. And it feels so good, that it's become my destiny as kooky as that sounds. I'm all for peace, music and freedom. If someone can find fault with that... then they just suck.

I care about every person because every person has a purpose, is beautiful and has promise. Too often we don't realize greatness just beyond our finger tip's reach. Once in a while, we need to let go and lie in a country field and stare at the stars. With some cool music playing in the background to fit your mood.. maybe James Taylor, maybe some Beatles.. maybe some Moody Blues.. or maybe even some Pearl Jam.. music definitely enriches... way more than TV can... TV takes us away from each other... and I believe music brings us together... oh and with that, Longview from Greenday just came on.

I hope I can find some places to post this, cuz I feel people care, but it doesn't fit under self-help, morals and values, entertainment, none of that... !?!?!? help

love you guys - Peace Priestess

We are all worthy

Hi, to everyone remember we are all worthy.  I believe what we get in life is what we focus on.  We must focus on good things.  I know from experience it is easier to think than to do.  How a man thinkth thats the way we are.  We must stop thinking of lack and start focussing on more than enough.  Ask and believe and you shall have.  When we ask God he will not give us a stone.  My thoughts are changing every day and it makes me more and more stronger.  Years ago I was very down.  Wasnt really interested in nothing.  Slowly things started to change.  I started to believe  I had so many things on my mind I didn't know where to turn One morning I arose and didn't quiet see until I turned on the tv.  There he was preaching in front of me.  My ears were listening when suddenly they heard Why are you still sitting there in that same old chair  The words were so strong that it made me wonder he's right I've been sitting too long.  I've got Faith so why don't I use it to open the gate.  I turned my faith into action.  I started to act on what I believed.  I believed I was in good health, I believed I could be anything I wanted to be.  I believed I had more than enough money to pay my bills.  I felt happy for no reason at all.  Negative thoughts in my life can take a hike.  I believe when I'm in need of money I will give money for a good cause God will give itn back to me after all it was his to begin with.  Seek ye the Kingdom of God and everything else shall be added to you.  And the Kingdom of God is in each and every one of us.  The Lord takes my hand and leads me.

About nobody99

I am a 28 yr old male from KS and I really do not like it here. I have seen so many other wonderful places and just would move to where I would be happier. Some ppl are made to stay in their hometown but I am not one of them. I graduated high school in 1999 and I have worked ever since I was 15 yrs old. Due to helping out family and a couple bad realationships I don't have alot to show for it. I am good at writing stories and want to become a screenwriter. I enjoy the outdoors, hiking, fishing, camping and anything outside. I like animals of pretty much all kinds. I like classic cars  and I still have some kid in me cuz I like to play some games. (when I have time) I am still looking for my the woman I will marry because I yet to find her. The Lord will guide her to me when time is right. Hopefully sooner than later. I want to achieve my career goals soon and just live happy and the American dream like most ppl get to.

Change of heart...

Being on here reading people's stories, my situation seems so little. Sometimes we forget the meaning of Christmas… and we take for granted what we do have. I have a home, I have a job, I have a van, I have 6 beautiful children all in good health, we eat (just not what we want all the time), we have furniture to sit on, a bed to crawl into, a yard to play in, my family has a lot to be thankful for. A little help for Christmas would be nice, but will we survive without? Yes, because we are not without-- we have all the above and some families do not.

My original posting if anyone saw it, I was asking for christmas help... however after reading some of the stories on here... i have had a change of heart. Gifts would be nice for my children, but what we have in our home is the best gift ever-- we have each other. And its FREE.

Please forgive me- I was feeling sorry for myself when I explained our housing problems

When I looked at what others had written and how much hardship these individuals had been living with, I felt guilty about  even taking up the space that I have. I am thankful for my life that I have and feel lucky to have my problems. It could/can be alot worse than it is. If there was more that I could do to help with the people I have read about here, I will do my best to give any input that I can to help. Thankyou for the people that took time out to think about me and my family! We do not have our housing figured out yet but something will come through. I am worried for my dogs ,they are apart of me and who I am. Finding a place for my dogs and us  is nothing  compared to small babies and their mother out on the streets or having dying  family members needing to be cared for but not having the money for medicine or a place to live. Things will get better just hang in there!

It All Starts With You!

Every morning when we awake the first thing we should do is go to the mirror and smile at ourselves and say Good Morning.. Thats the first step to starting a "Good Day" and as the day progresses you pass that smile on to other people, smiling does have a "ripple effect".  You should look at yourself in a mirror and tell yourself "I love you", therefore you can pass that love on.

 

Acts of kindness can be a smile, a hello, or holding the door open for someone and these Acts of Kindness can be passed on and have many ripple effects.  People just take that fact for granted sometimes, there isnt enough kindness in this world today.. So, I say to everyone reading this spread kindness and remember it all starts with YOU!
