So this is a beginning, a new beginning. New place, new focus on rebuilding. I am putting my thoughts and experiences down to share with those I love, and love to do business with. And maybe a little for myself, to chart a journey almost 49 years in the making.
First I am a single mom of 6, 4 are still at home. Gosh, I never considered myself a "kid friendly" person, yet some days I would be happy to only hang out with my kids. Who knew? In our house, we are all such individuals and "space freaks" that it is always amazing to me that we get along so well. Yet my children are my joy, even the "old " kids. ( Up and out of the house as they are.....they will always be my babies).

This blog isn't about business, though that conversation will be within this. This is about me, my journey.
So as I am writing this, the landlords of the house that I have lived in for three years have given us to the end of the month because they want to sell. Makes me mad! If they had done a lease option to buy, we would have already paid them $45K. ( and through some of the toughest years of our financial lives!) Now there is a hurry to sell, and the boys and I are left with few options of where to go. We could live with my Mom, who truly has little room for a family as large as ours. I answered a few ads on Craigslist, and actually found a scam. ( total bummer, was in my price range....and the people who own the house currently were surprised to find out that their house was being rented....scam!) So we are now facing homelessness ourselves. Not due to anything except bad luck.
Yet I feel like everything will be ok. I don't know how, or why, I just believe that Conchetta House is suppose to grow ( non profit -subsidized housing for single parent families in school that I started...how ironic is this?) I believe that the environmental awareness work and the social media management that I do will really take off, and actually is beginning to. ( frustrating how many people will "let" me volunteer for them until I can "prove" myself. grrr)
I know how far I have come, even in the last 7 years. Yet there is so much to do. I do want to be beautiful again, live an artists life, teach yoga and sail on a beautiful ship bound for somewhere. I wonder if struggle is all there is or if I will get to see Paris. Or fall in love. ( you know I don't think anyone has ever fallen in love with me....I think I have had a lot of "likes" but never love.....would like that on the Bucket List too......someone to mean I Love You in a romantic, beautiful way.)
Well, first things first. Packing, and telling the kids we will be alright. And praying, a lot of praying. Then the hard work, making everything look easy to those around me. Did I mention praying?
