Hi,
My name is Sandara Reynolds.
I just wanted you to see where I am coming from because I am so excited about creating an online business.
I have done bookkeeping and office work most of my life, but there was a time when, after I lost my job, I could not find work.
The enevitable happened...I was soon homeless and scratching for any crumb of a job I could get just to eat. Being a moral woman out in the streets, is not very easy. You have to be so careful. I found myself sleeping in high bushes surrounding churches, inside open church chapels and underneath leaking bridges---to say nothing of how difficult it is to find a job when you look like a snarled rat. One good thing was that it was at a warm time of the year, and I was living in Florida at the time. I was able to walk (oh, yeah. no car, either) to the beach and use the brrrrrrr-very cold showers provided.
I was so hungry one day, that I went to a local burger place, just as they were closing for the night, and asked the night manager if he had any food left over. I explained that I was very hungry, but had no money. He said he did not.
When I left, hungrier than before I walked in from the wonderful smell, I looked back at the front door opening. The manager was coming out with a whole tray of left over burgers. I started to return, thinking that he had changed his mind and that they were for me, when I watched in HORROR, as he moved towards the dumpster and threw them on the ground for a hungry DOG to eat. A DOG! At that moment in my life, I vowed that I would never be that hungry again, and I also vowed that I would be more compassionate and caring towards other people. That is probably why I like my job as a customer service specialist so much.
I am only sharing this with you because I really think that people, in general, don't appreciate the food we eat, the warm bed we sleep in and that car and other modern conveniences afforded those that work.
I now have my own home, a two-year old car, and plenty of food in my cupboard, but the vehicle I am riding in on my journey to success in this lifetime is the computer being "gassed up" by the Internet. I want to invite you to check out the links on this page.
Enjoy your visit, and come back anytime.
Thanks.
