The Fight is Half the Battle…

Do we fight harder to keep something we love or do we fight harder to get out of something we hate?

I believe that when gifts are handed to us, it is easier to ease up on the fight until a more convenient time comes around.

However, when push comes to shove and we are fighting for our very survival and what is rightfully ours, then our instincts tend to come out with our claws…fighting harder for what we cherish closest to our hearts.

Alzheimer’s Disease

If anyone is looking to watch a great movie….I recommend “Still Alice”.  It’s a beautifully written movie about a college Professor who develops Alzheimer’s Disease.  It’s a touching story of one woman’s struggles, while losing her memory and eventually her mind.  She has a rare form of the disease that is genetically carried on to her children.

I can personally relate to her story because my grandmother developed the disease when she was in her sixties.  It’s very sad to watch, as a most intelligent mind starts to forget even the simplest task, such as trying finding their bathroom in their own home. They know their  minds are deteriorating, but there is nothing they can do but try to cover it up.

If you or someone you know is severing with Alzheimer’s Disease, please feel free to comment here.  The more we can talk about it, the more we can find a cure to this horrible disease.

HOME SWEET HOME

We have all wondered how much more our economy and as people can take. The mortgage crash of 2006 has severely affected our country and other countries. So many families have lost and are still losing their homes. It may just be a home to some. It may just be hard times, some may say. However, true these statements are, the fact of it is that a house holds a lot more than merely a roof over our heads.

A house is our home. A home is a place where we raise our children. A home is a place where we keep our memories. A home is a place where we grow as a family. A home is a place to feel safe in. A home is a place where we gain our future. A house is a lot more than just a dwelling. Our home is our house.

If you are losing your home, do not give up. Write letters to your lending company. I do not mean one letter, but letter after letter after letter, until you are heard. Study your mortgage documents so you understand what the legalities of your documents mean. What kind of mortgage do you have? Was income verified and documented? Do you have a fixed interest rate or a variable interest rate? Is your mortgage owned by one investor or several investors? Find any discrepancies you can in your documents.

The Government is working to create new programs for homes in distress and the longer you can hold on to your home, means the better chances are for you to save your home from foreclosure. Fight back and do not give up. I didn’t and against all odds, I am finally home once again.

Excerpt from Manuscript – Dear Paxton

Ms Mandi Photo 1

It was the summer of 1986, the last day of school. The sun was bright and hot. The valley was always so beautiful this time of year, with its clear blue sky. The usual valley winds hadn’t picked up yet and the air was as still as could be. The plains were surrounded by large gray-blue mountains, giving the illusion of such solitude and isolation.

Lisa was a Senior in high school and would be graduating in a couple of days. Her mother and sister had moved to The Pines in August. Lisa had been born in a small town north of The Pines before her parents had gotten a divorce, moving to the busy suburbs of Orange County.
