What Is Your Dream?

Tweet

I have a lot of dreams. One is to get my publishing and merchandising business off the ground and one is to build my hotels. This morning after a neighbor told me she was leaving to go to a shelter because she couldn't pay rent and told me that it wasn't the first time she'd been in that shelter, my heart broke. Six months ago I was laid off and have been trying to find a job and have been on the verge of eviction a couple of times. Since I have been evicted twice in the past ten and a half years after losing a business and then being laid off, the idea of going through that again is rather scary. I'm still looking for work but when my neighbor told me about her situation, it brought back memories but it also got me to thinking. There are a lot of women, especially single women, who are struggling and there just isn't much of any help out there. People don't think that the situation with illegal immigrants is a big deal and our government doesn't seem to think it's a big deal to allow companies to outsource work to people in other countries but both situations are costing hard working American citizens their jobs and putting them at risk financially. Yesterday, I heard about how Vonage quit using their American based employees in favor of employees in the Phillipines (sp?). CompUSA is also closing stores in Southern California, which mean we are going to have that many more people trying to get the few jobs that are out there. It's time for things to change. I'm not sure how but maybe you guys can give me some feedback since I want to start an organization to help single women who are trying to get work and need help in the interim. Not just temporary help, though, but help to give the women something long term and help them to realize their dreams. I'm not sure how to do this yet, so I could really use your input. Thanks in advance.
