I am me. Maybe I feel things more deeply because of my background, maybe it hurts more.., BUT I'm survivor. Money, position and "power" does NOT buy happiness. I didn't like me back in those days but I do like the man I have become since,<br /><br />Love and happiness are not prizes.<br /><br />Money may appear to bring both, but it's false.<br /><br />I have more friends now than ever before in my life. I feel more love, more belonging, more connected. <br /><br />Thank you...Beyond Survivorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13651923245154253074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553737404201765566.post-45098655173844487472012-10-22T00:06:26.619+01:002012-10-22T00:06:26.619+01:00Being poor is nothing 2b ashamed of.

Giving 2 other living breathing things is what we all were put on this earth 4. In one capacity r another. I of all people know that doesn't put food on the table yes it's a struggle but LOVE is all this world needs.

They aren't known for that, they are known for their success. <br /><br />How many times did Edison fail at inventing the lightbulb? Who cares. We aren't defined by our failure, we're defined by what we do after. <br /><br />You worked your way up and managed a business before. You can do it again. <br /><br />You know how the system of business works and you mastered it. The economy dealt you a bad hand. Now it's your turn to rise up again.<br /><br />When you owned your business, you were at the top. You tumbled a bit these past few years, but that's over. Start climbing again. <br /><br />Let your next book be about your journey to the top... for the 2nd time.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200131162089641212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553737404201765566.post-73523677191899772432012-09-24T23:56:37.459+01:002012-09-24T23:56:37.459+01:00I relate to the desire to help people especially a...I relate to the desire to help people especially advocacy.

I resonate with your fears re finances and long to be financially independent (and be able to work again).<br /><br />You are doing so much for the CSA community--you are a strong force. I am proud to be a part of it and to have connected with you.<br /><br />I will be sending you loving vibes through my meditation.<br /><br />Love,<br />TrishAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05742401594783514517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6553737404201765566.post-13557766960506484012012-09-17T00:10:53.177+01:002012-09-17T00:10:53.177+01:00I have recently come across your blog.

I too had doctors saying so what to all my fears/worries about what losing my job would mean. At the time I did not feel very understood. I was told I needed to concentrate on getting well physically and dealing with past traumatic events at the same time as working would not enable me to recover physically or emotionally. Life has been hard and loss of personal income dealing with benefit system has impacted physically and emotionally in a negative way. However I am working to healing from traumatic events and this journey I indeed could not have taken if still employed. I do hope to one day be recovered and back working. I tell you this to say I understand the fear, the feeling of losing everything-that is a valid fear. Yet we do survive even if with some more battle scars. It helps us connect to help more people. I hope all works out well for you and indeed you manage to stay online. Perhaps there would be some voluntary or charity funding avail to fund your blog? <br />I believe in God so I hope I don't offend you by saying I will pray that you find a solution to all obstacles in your path including employment. Thank you. Behind The Smile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
