Reflections on Our Disastrous Move – Now That It’s “Over”

Broken Home

Granted… our home doesn’t look like this… Well, if we had a home that was ours, I guess it might look like this. But, be that as it may, this last move definitely did something to us that no other move has done before.

How to Help Someone Move Apartments – and How Not to Help

Moving Boxes

Having recently moved yet again – with our move far from over, we encountered a lot of people wanting to “help”. Moving is, in fact, an extremely stressful event. I am far from over this move. With items broken and missing – it is like trying to have to start life again. Here are some tips for those who don’t move, who have never moved before, who won’t ever need to because of being able to own somewhere already. These tips are here to share what you can really do if you want to help… and some things that should sooner be avoided.

Our Shocking Move – We Have Landed – But What a Disaster – Totally Broken…

Disaster

One of the hardest things one can experience when moving is having to deal with the necessary time in closing off accounts at one apartment and then opening and changing accounts from previous owners in the new apartment one is moving into – into one’s own name. It is a full-time job which lasts roughly a week or two to make sure everything is taken care of. I don’t know how one does this and still manages to earn a living while one sits waiting on the phone for hours, faxing new forms and making sure everything is up to date on every side – both from the point of view of the old landlord as well as from the new landlord. As for ourselves, we are definitely falling and I just don’t know how to cope any longer!

How to Change the Way You See Yourself (Includes Video)

I Am...

I am (sic) reminded of the well-known comparison given concerning the way we each see life (and other things) so differently. One such an issue – for example – is when approaching the viewpoint of how we see God. This, of course, triggers off millions of viewpoints. Who is right?! Who can be, of course, when we are talking about an Infinite Being? (Anything less than that would detract from any God most would wish to worship.) Once that Being is Infinite – then, whatever we see of Him will be merely a section of Him.
