greetings all
well some here know my story,,after dfing, pretty bad,,,
lets just say i went from an easy financial existance to immediate extreme poverty
and being a mature female, that is harsh
i have great empathy for those in that position,,must be my polish lineage that kept me a pluggin
anyway, fast forward,,,went from homeless (only churches would give me food bags,,ugh)
then onto welfare,,,
then onto dead end jobs, hard at my age,,but allas,,,surviving
then got a program thru welfare,,yuk i hate that word
opened a store front business
now in my 5th, yes 5th summer
and the local paper has a 'peoples choice awards' which is quite a prestigious award in town,,,major advertising bling
guess what,,my shop won in my category,,ok is only a nail salon,,,but i beat out many contendors
they had things like favourite barber, restaurant, tire shop, hair shop, etc
so there ya go,,it can be done,,,i am so proud,,,,especially when i let it leak out to jw's lol
it goes in the paper next tuesday
just had to brag,,,,those just out,,,your story cant be worse than mine,,,and look where i am,,,and i am a very mature female
thanks
orb
