A situation that happened to me yesterday.
As a single mother of two over the years, i fell into a rut.
i didn't work, i was on the system, & life was difficult back then.
Finding my way OUT of that rut, was even harder. But i DID it!
Today, i work full-time, and am pulling my life together more & more each day.
i feel blessed, & life is good.. i still don't have much, but i love & appreciate the things i have as though they're the most precious treasures in this world.. i'm always grateful, everyday!

Yesterday, i got upset - SO upset..
As an honest woman who's made so many changes to her life, to pull herself up (without ANY encouragement or help from the system) - i want to pay it forward and help women in poverty, but also i need to pursue what made me angry, because it simply isn't fair.

They really pick on the wrong people, just sayin'.. i was simply a single mother of two, who was trying to feed her children each month and maintain a warm place to live.. We didn't have a lot, and i didn't ask for much.. And i did everything fair & honest .. This was a mistake of a case worker, but regardless of who's fault it was, it's me who pays.. & dearly at that.

i'm really disappointed & doing what they want of me - but i am working on a way to make this change... Something needs to change for someone one day in the future !
