Do Not Be Fooled by That Job Offer
Social Security Fraud First Thing This Morning - Before My Cup of Coffee! Friends, please be careful. Thieves are becoming smarter and more aggressive. Today, I received an attempt to steal my personal information; and a second business program similar in pattern to TheRealGroup's attempt, I fell for in May 2019. I will tell you more about that in a moment. Let us first tackle the social security fraud.

Working With A Disability
I was just in an interview online for a work from home job and encountered a situation that is not new to me, or probably for most people who have a disability who are seeking employment. Whether it be a job online, or in a physical location, people with disabilities are often looked over for positions of employment that they are completely capable of doing simply because they have a disability.

Real-Life Wonder Woman, Nicole Cherie Barker, Helps Coaches Attract Their True Fans
Being an entrepreneur is not for the weak at heart. There is so much competition and pressure to fall in line with the standard model of perfection. Women are expected to behave in a cookie-cutter fashion: to show up in full hair and make-up, to wear heels, to be whatever everyone else wants them to be. Many women do fit the bill, but if we are really honest, it’s challenging to try to fit into that mold every day, and even more challenging to break it altogether.

CoVid19 - Me behind the mask
This won’t be fictional no names have been changed because no names will be mentioned.. This is a story about one healthcare worker who’s heart and soul went into her job anyone she took care of found it hard not to smile when she would start caring for them it’s about a job that was loved so much that it became her downfall. This is my story, when a job is more then a job caring for people who are deep in a weakened state it’s more of a life’s calling when you find yourself stressing yourself only to be so very proud of yourself for being up to this career challenge. Most healthcare workers throw themselves mind body and spirit in and in the end become drained of every bit of energy they put out. This is how the CoVid19 pandemic ruined my career only I was driven by fear and riddled with anxiety about it all and as a healthcare worker to know that I would soon be up close and personal with it scared me enough but this was a slow poison to my career, by that I mean it became a paranoia for me I’d get these small feelings of anxiety before going into work and I’d wonder the whole ride there “am I going to have another CoVid19 patient” I also would like to clarify that the whole reason I get completely stricter with a frozen fear of God in my blood over it is because how this virus mutates and infects each one of its victims differently some die some don’t some get mild symptoms of the flu some feel like it’s a slow painful drowning feeling, so believe me when I say this thing is on my top list of the 5 most scariest things ever experienced thus far in my life. This poison of a virus keeps me 80% in the house and the other 20% when absolutely necessary this awful thing that has stolen lives, taken jobs, made the world an even bigger mess stole my wits away that are at my nerves and forced me out of the job because my anxiety just won’t let me, I came into healthcare to care for the sick and do my best to keep you safe and alive but this virus took that from me and now I can’t say to myself yes I know this person will pull through and be fine, when I’m at work and you’re in my care I become a mother, or a sister, maybe even a friend and my heart aches for the sick and breaks hard for the terminally ill. I took a walk down another area of our facility during the first wave of this and to walk into this room and see people on ventilators sent the coldest chill through my body I questioned every patient in the room in my mind wondering if they had the virus I wanted them all to be ok and to wake up and be able to do what everybody else in the room was so effortlessly doing.. breathing. My soul just crumbled for them all and I think that was most likely the start to the end for me knowing that scene was to much to handle that night I prayed for each one, I thought healthcare was my calling I believed in my heart of hearts that was my forever career I was positive that I’d never actually be going to work because I loved it so much.. CoVid19 was the end of my career for me and not because I don’t want to help save you.. it’s because in some cases you cannot be saved.

The Market: The Root of What Defines Freedom
One of the most common reasons for conflict has been rooted in economics. Currency, throughout history, has been known to establish the social order and has been closely connected to the status and well being of individuals. Human beings have been defined by assets and wages for centuries, if not more, and an individual’s ability to do something has depended solely on the amount of money one possesses. This concept can be seen even during Eras such as the Renaissance with the Medici family and the rule they had over Florence because of their wealth, or the aristocracy in France that held the most power prior to the French Revolution. The richer the individual, the more power over society that individual holds and the same logic applies to the other side; the poorer the person, the less impact they have on society. Even today, this is a common trend. Considering that the amount of wealth an individual possesses has, more often than not, decided for them what they are capable of, it can then be inferred that in societies freedom itself begins with money. This correlation has only increased after the Industrial Revolution. Following the Industrial period, Western society has deemed economic freedom as freedom itself. In regions like the United States, they have been considered free countries because the economy is based around a free market, but even then the only truly wealthy are the individuals that succeed. In a sense, the structural backbone that formed Western society five hundred years ago, even after numbers of revolutions and movements, is still the same outline that shapes today’s society. What happens in a region’s economy is the baseline for helping them decide what freedom is, which in itself illustrates the connection between economic freedom and other freedoms. An individual’s sense of political and civic freedom differs depending on the amount of economic freedom given to them, and by understanding this connection, society may achieve progress. Furthermore, whether or not an individual may deem economic freedom as a real freedom is dependent on the individual’s ability to make use of that freedom.

Fire on the Wharf
Fire on the Wharf There was no room on the lee side of the wharf; four old wooden herring carriers were in so he tied up on the other end with the prevailing wind wafting against the hull. It was a small job and the breeze was light, being low tide, he would finish up quick and be on his way.
