When life gives you lemons.... write about it!


Lemonade? Nah... I have been seeing sooooo much news about homelessness lately.  Now, I completely accept that the Almighty Google may just be targeting me.  But, when I am encouraged to sign-up for Nextdoor, a "social network for your neighborhood community", and a large percentage are about homeless in the area.  Well, I wonder.  Maybe the world is just changing and seems like very few are truly ready.

So, how do I deal?  I write!  And today, I have finally taken the plunge and signed up to be a Creator on Medium.

Here is my first post:

Beautiful, Brilliant & Talented: Another facet of Homeless life in the PNW

My husband & I are currently living out of our 1986 GMC Suburban in Vancouver, WA and became houseless last year near the end of July, because of a predator, a person who was supposed to be family, who claimed to need roommates to help afford his apartment and once discovered that he was illegally subletting low-income housing that he did not qualify for, proceeded to misuse the local authorities to get us thrown out on the street.
And after, I saw another creator's post where it seems I am not the only one who is seeing this stuff:

It is good to hear others are seeing the same problem I am.

It is good to hear others are seeing the same problem I am. If people would just stop & listen, sit with each other, embrace each other, see each other's value.
