Let’s Talk About My Return!

Hey Everyone ………. 

I’M BACK!!!!!!!!

It’s been almost two months since I’ve posted anything and I am sorry that it has taken me this long.  So much has gone on in the past few weeks.  It’s so difficult trying to keep up with everything on your plate.  There are things that get neglected and unfortunately this was one. 

It saddens me when I am unable to post.  I love writing.  This is the reason I started this blog.  I wanted to get my thoughts and feelings out to the world and then sit back and wait for responses.  But how can I expect people to respond when there is anything for them to respond to?

I have made a vow not to be on a hiatus again.  I cannot disappear and then reappear – that is unprofessional.  Starting today, I will be submitting regular posts (nice and juicy ones), letting everyone know what I’ve been through this past month.

So to all my followers, sit back, relax and enjoy my blog!

Thank you for your Patience!

Let’s Talk About Priorities!

I was having a conversation with someone today and they were telling me about their struggles. They brought up one of the most feared topics that we all fear may happen. FORECLOSURE! They sadly admitted – and I was already aware – that this is not the first time the bank has began the paperwork.

The process has always been that the bank will begin the process and somehow/someway, they always find money to get out of the hole. The problem happens again because they have difficulty maintaining. They just cannot keep up with the mortgage. So then they become stuck with what decisions they should make.

I know this is an issue with a lot of people. I do not know how or why people’s homes are foreclosed. What I mean by that is, I am not in a position to say that ALL those who lose their homes, do so because they haven’t prioritized. However, I can say this about this particular individual.

There are a few people that live in their home. Yet, only one of them has a paying job. Unfortunately, their paycheck is not enough to cover all of the bills. I can say that they are trying their best.

On the other hand, the person I was speaking with, does not have a job and refuses to get one. I do not ask where they receive money from. I assume friends and family members will help out when necessary; however, I can safely say that paying mortgage has not been their priority.

When I do know of them having money, they are shopping. You will find them in the stores buying new things as opposed to paying bills. I have never understood this and I don’t speak on it. I do not feel it is my place. It just saddens me to see people behave so poorly.

I truly wish this individual and their family well. I hope they will be able to stay in their home. I never want to see anyone homeless. However, if you are not making any efforts to save your home, then why do you feel you deserve to keep it.

We ended the conversation by them telling me that they did not know what they were going to do. At this point, since they don’t have money to pay the mortgage, then they do not have money to move. It’s a struggle deciding whether they should move even if they receive the money. I understand wanting to be in your own home but sometimes you have to know when to let go. Honestly, this conversation saddened me 😔 and I am praying that they make it out of their situation – happily!
