I will try to appreciate the outside surroundings and inside gifts of a place to live; forgive to work as there has been much less in 2020 and double rent raise. I will practice patience in this regard as others full with care that can’t reach out to touch or comfort them suffer even greater hardship and whose social plight as innocent civilians has them still bound in incarceration. I almost used the light a candle feature for this person on this site but they are not deceased but suffering as others run amuck so I will try to stay with myself in peace and wish others health and peace on earth.

My utility tripled when I divorced, even though I had been the one paying the bill. I went to an advocacy group and explained the problem. It cost me nothing. Their volunteers did the work. It took them 2-3 months, but they were able to get my rates reduced to close what they were originally. It helped that it was an organization and not myself doing the appeal.

My utility tripled when I divorced, even though I had been the one paying the bill. I went to an advocacy group and explained the problem. It cost me nothing. Their volunteers did the work. It took them 2-3 months, but they were able to get my rates reduced to close what they were originally. It helped that it was an organization and not myself doing the appeal. You may wish to look into what service might be available to you, and see what rights you have under the law. Good luck, Claire. And I’ve done that myself with dogs plenty of times. They always forgive! Read More1 Reply Claire3 months agoClaireHappy for you, Holly, though i did appeal to an organization but they didn’t agree with me even though I showed them the math. As well, I have been refused normal course of action for an informal hearing by the housing authorities so currently im out of options and living with non working outlets, no way out! Blessings and congratulations 👏 1 Reply Holly in Ohio3 months agoHolly in OhioI’m so sorry, Claire. At least you tried. Hopefully things will change for the better soon. 1 Reply Don Jones3 months agoDon JonesTo just see what truly is – as the starting point. After that, I can illuminate the whole universe. But it starts with honest, raw seeing. 5 Reply Patricia3 months agoPatriciaI AM beginning anew today by committing to making specific space in my life each day to practice gratitude! Today I am grateful for the interior nudge that prompted me to return to this resource/community to provide structure and sharing in gratitude. Thank you! 8 Reply pkr3 months agopkrI can begin anew today with my beloved “cup of coffee”! Happy New Year to All here. May your blessings be many. Peace & Love 🙏✨❤️🌟🙏 6 Reply Antoinette3 months agoAntoinetteI can begin anew each moment when I’m aware of the miracles of life all around. I’m grateful to be able to breath in and out freely with no pain or suffering. I’m grateful to be able to walk. My legs are working and with each step I can arrive with freedom in the present moment. What joy this moment is. Happy new year to you all. May you be well and May you be happy. May you be free from suffering. May love and peace be with you always. 7 Reply Linda3 months agoLindaI plan to create more of a routine for my days–it has been easy to let things drift. I feel better when I have a purpose each day–doesn’t have to be huge, but it will keep me focused and growing. My retirement is at the end of this month so it will be even more important to create some structure. 6 Reply Deirdre3 months agoDeirdreI too am retiring shortly and agree some structure would be good. I am grateful for the sharings of others on this site as they help generate new ideas Thank you 2 Reply Holly in Ohio3 months agoHolly in OhioI look forward to hearing what you come up with, Linda. 2 Reply TofuLove3 months agoTofuLoveBy fighting the darkness. 1 in 100 people in the world is a war refugee, that's equivalent to 3,300,000 Americans. I just watched as the people elected to protect the American people pushed for the NDAA veto overrule and before some military type tells me that it's necessary, literally national security isn't a threat if that thing isn't passed for a week -- it was our way of saying, you don't get your bombs and fighter jets without help for the American people.

I just watched as the people elected to protect the American people pushed for the NDAA veto overrule and before some military type tells me that it’s necessary, literally national security isn’t a threat if that thing isn’t passed for a week — it was our way of saying, you don’t get your bombs and fighter jets without help for the American people. We were sold out by the people put there to protect us because the military vote matters more, reelection matters more. Killing people matters more than helping those in need. Americans spend more on military spending than the next 10 nations after us combined and we couldn’t get stimulus help from our own government because according to them, American’s during a pandemic don’t actually need help. Funny how the Canadian government doesn’t think that way or any other country in the developed world who have been helping their citizens through this and not calling them “greedy” like our government has (while giving millions and millions to corporations and to build fighter jets.) The same way we are told medical for all is a handout. Read More3 Reply MelaD3 months agoMelaDBy putting one foot in front of the other. Looking up with an open heart and open hands. Prayer and meditation. Listening to my intuition instead of ignoring it. Letting go of what’s holding me back. And not necessarily all or in this order either. Happy 2021!! 7 Reply Cheryle3 months agoCheryleThank you for your insightful share… especially listening to intuition it can be so easy to override that important aspect of wisdom. Blessings for the New Year! 1 Reply MelaD3 months agoMelaDHappy New Year, Cheryle! 2 Reply Ed Schulte3 months agoEd Schulte“Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened. Don’t open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down the dulcimer. Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.” RUMI everydaypower.com/rumi-quotes/ 9 Reply Anna3 months agoAnnaI know what I can change is hard work for me. But that's what I care. Deepen my awareness of the moment and transform any lack of patience into a humble welcome even of a bad feeling. Yes, welcome, open the door of my heart, even a bad feeling is a part of me. So to speak, have a coffee with it. Then again open my heart, find a new peace, smooth the corners of my soul, especially with my old mother who is increasingly confused after my father's recent death, and also with people of different op...I know what I can change is hard work for me.
