Karma was a chain mail but but the words were true somethings happen for a reason and if you understand the reason life can work out. I am a senior who came here to relax and work for the state. I got here and the state is in flux - the governor wants to give furloughs and jobs with the state are unsteady. I called real estate agents to help me find a decent place to live and got few responses so I went out on my own and of course was shafted and lost my money to one of those people who prey on seniors. So I am stuck with no money and no way to get my things out of storage, a very bad house situation - but you know what - I still have a job until the governor says otherwise so that is a blessing. The other things will work out too, don't you think? If I believe in Karma? There are still good people in the world and I have to believe that in order to keep going and to stay strong.

I know there are a lot of scammers in the world and I was bound to run into one of them eventually but I am keeping my faith and my belief that something good will come out of this mess. If you have information on a decent house in Waianae area (I am interested in living where culture lives and breathes) one that is clean, at least 2 bedrooms, 2 bath or 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, a small yard, close to the bus line (I take the bus to work everyday) - then please email me and I will come and look at it. I cannot move until the middle of August because I have to get paid so I can pay the rental fees. There is are three of us. My husband is retired and gets social security. My son is looking for a job and he will help pay the rent too. So, please let us know if you know of a place - I think we can afford a decent place with my salary and his social security. My credit is good. Also, if you can contribute to helping me get my things out of storage, a small donation or if you can afford to make a loan then we could develop a payment plan (with promissory note) so we do not run into any bad feelings for each other. But donations would help also. My things will be shipped here when I get all the money but I also need a house to put them in.

Think about helping someone who needs your help. This is not a scam - please feel free to email me and I can meet you, get to know you and you can see the situation I have found myself in. I am a long way from home but I know that people are people the world over and even the smallest amount of help would be welcome at this time. Mahalo and even though life has thrown me a curve - I know that I can and will rebound and then, of course, I will need to pay it forward and help someone else. Suggestions and help.  Thank you so much. God Bless.

well here i am again grateful for a place to put my diary where it cant be taken from me. after losing my diaries from my whole life to my x i dont know if i could ever put pen to paper again. i dont know why he was entitled to them wasnt right. 

mothers day. what a hard day today will be but it will be fine.  im feeling good and optimistic and going to get ready for work in a few minutes. but had desire to remind myself of this day in the future. im starting to cry from the pain i feel inside but i realize i must feel it for if i dont i will lose my strength.

one of my only two friends brought something up that i hadnt thought of and it scares me. my x is facing alot of prison time and what if he runs to a place that has no extradition. im sure they took his passport but he has two private plans. i cant believe i didnt tell his p.o.. i never even fathomed such a thing. i need to speed up this process some how im sure ill be able to do it.

well i have to go and do my thing and make the dough.

ciao 

life is wonderful and grand even though it can be so cruel and harsh.

i worked very hard at being good and not vengeful or mean to those that have done wrong to me. and i was right it pays off.  i had almost lost faith in humanity after the last 2 1/2 years of torture that my x had put me through. sometimes i felt i couldnt face tomorrow for my pain was so great and all consuming. after he took my kids  i had no purpose no reason for breathing but the thought of leaving my children without a mother was much more terrifying than the pain i endured daily.

i kept believing that somehow someway god had to make things right. even though many days came and went and i cursed him, screamed and yelled how could he turn his back on me and my babies. i'd wake up in the night (i still do) crying for my children and it hurts but within the next 2 weeks they will be with me. i couldnt see his plan through all my pain. no matter how i tried to understand i just couldnt. i couldnt fathom what i had done to deserve the evil doings of my x and his parents. people i had never harmed nor hurt. people that i loved and just wanted to make them proud of me. people that wanted to rub me out of my childrens life. didnt they see that they were only doing harm to themselves in the long run. the children started to loathe them long before they were ripped from me. and there i was the never ending fount of forgiveness telling the boys people make mistakes and we forgive. trying to repair the inevitable damage that they were causing. 

as hard as it was i just kept thinking it cant end this way. karma has to come full circle.

at last it has. my x is going to prison for sure (he just couldnt stop the drinking and driving) he's facing 10 years (aggrivated dui's).  i get my kids back and i got my house and i have this new life growing inside me that i already love and cherish.

the father of the baby had a car accident and has passed. its truly sad for his family. and i wish them all the peace they deserve, but god has a plan even if we cant see it when we are hurting.

to all of you out there going through hard and painful times it will get better. the more good you do for others is key. even when you have nothing you have love, and time to share with someone who needs it. thats the only thing that i found peace in. the desire to help others even when i had nothing i shared whatever i had. and sometime its nothing more than giving away the watch you are wearing to the little girl in the line in front of you that declares how much she likes your skirt.  or having a favorite pair of earrings and a friend asking to buy them from you and you give them to her (not for money)but for the simple reason it made her happy. i learned along time ago that material possessions are only that and favorite things come and go but the happiness you bestowed apon a person will stay with you a life time. and that is worth so much more than an $11000 21 jewel swiss watch that you exchange to an underprivileged 15 yr old for a research paper about the watch. i knew when i gave him that watch that i was giving money up (but i only paid $4 for it) and knowing that this kid who had nothing was going to wear that watch to school the next day and for once he was going to feel the confidence that every child should feel every single day. i felt great about that decision after all he worked for it. he went home researched the history of it, wrote up a paper and presented it to me in lieu of payment. what a fine trade that was.

im getting carried away but my point being no matter how little you have you always have enough to give.  take it from me ive had everything, lost it all  and even though im not monetarily rich im the wealthiest person i know. and im grateful.

have a wonderful evening 

Wow,  I never thought that my life would lead me to a place where I am asking for help.  I was always the person to give help.  Right now I can't afford the time, effort or money to give the things that I wish to give.  That is ultimately why I am here.  My story is simple.  Mediocre success led to great failure.  There is nothing worse than looking back at all the times that I boasted about how great everything was.

 The house is gone, the car is gone, all of the valuables are gone, the wife is gone, I have been broken.  The only worldly goods left are whatever I recieved from friends after she left.  That and a PILE of bills.  Oh and 50% custody of two of my boys, 100% custody of the other.  Did I mention a pile of bills.  I have million dollar ideas, a billion dollar attitude, and a ten dollar bill to my name.  I am not looking for a hand out.  I will pay back whatever I get as soon as I can,  or if that cant happen I will pay it forward.

God bless and good luck

Hi there. I dont know if this will actually work or not, but it's worth a shot. I'm a 26 year old mommy to three beautiful girls (ages 5, 2, and 4 months). I am married.. my husband works as hard as he can with a full time job and side jobs. we are in severe credit card debt and if anyone feels compelled to help we would forever be grateful. Our debt isn't because we are careless or live extravagantly.. we don't. Our debt is because my husband and his dad opened a business together, unfortunately his dad turned out to be a total fruit cake and kicked my husband out because he's a twisted man. My husband decided it was best for our famiy to just let him have the business and dissolve the partnership in court, which is what we did. Unfortunately this led to us having to pay a lot of our bills on credit cards for months. We just have never been able to get back on our feet after that and we're still struggling. With the rising gas and grocery prices things seem to be getting further and further from easier. But even so I know there are people worse off and I am thankful to God for always seeing us through somehow. Even though we dont make enough to pay our bills.. I still tithe because I believe it's right and I make sure to give to those less fortunate than us.  If you could find it in your heart to help us at all... any money you donate.. 10% will be tithed to help someone else in need. I'm a firm believer in what goes around comes around....

God Bless and Much Love!

I need help! I am busy trying to earn an advanced degree with no help from loans or grants. Hubby has depression problems and is unable to work. One child is still at home. I'm exhausted after caring for everyone and trying to keep it all going. I need cash to pay bills and put food on the table. In return, I will do any kind of writing for you. I can do it all, from poetry to academic papers to speeches and occasional pieces. You will like what you read! Thanks to all; I will answer any and all messages.
