Good things really do come

I am sorry you guys.......I see that there are still people out there who are interested, so I do feel a sense of responsibility to keep you all informed as to what is happening in this crazy life of mine. At least from time to time. My time and energy as of late have been refocused on my family, trying to save the world (or at least my neighborhood) and my business (note....business last.)

Last year and the beginning of this year have been a very tough one for our family. My youngest son has been ill off and on for quite a while. He has had many days of excruciating pain and many of limited pain. We have pursued many avenues trying to understand what has gripped our little guy. No one had a complete answer as to what it could be until we took him to Childrens Hospital last year for some pretty invasive testing. It was there that he was diagnosed with IBS. It has been devastating to say the least, for him, as well as us. He does have his moments of joy though.....days when he can forget. But most of the time he hurts. I closed my business last year with much emotion. It was the hardest thing I thought I would ever go through. But this.....this makes the business closing feel like a cake walk. And although I have questioned why the forces that be allowed me to fail I realize now that it was a blessing.  My little one needs me and at least right here and right now, this is exactly where I need to be.

I think I will save the "saving the world" explanitory for another post. But let's just say, to anyone who has ever dealt with a rogue HOA......I have a new understanding of what frustration and exasperation power hungry people can induce on humanity. And let's just say, it ain't pretty.
