A News Update

Hello everyone, a very warm welcome to you all!  Here is the link to my regular weekend post, I hope you all enjoy it!  Weekend Thoughts

As far as my upcoming move goes, I still have not found an apartment, but I know that it has a lot to do with my limited budget.  I am in contact with a great non-profit organization in my area, and I have to tell you that they are amazing, and I really appreciate what they are doing to help myself and others.

So I spoke with the director of this organization yesterday, and she has offered her help by asking a man who works for her to drive me around this Thursday to help me find a suitable apartment.

My stress level has been quite high, as you can imagine, and I have been crying, and my stomach has been "acting up" as in...a nervous stomach.  But thank God just knowing that someone has offered to drive me to places to look for an apartment is an immense relief to me.  I do not have a car and use public transportation, and this kind gesture will save me a lot of time.  I am feeling much better about the situation now, a lot calmer, and I also want to thank all of you for your kind words, your concern, your love and encouragement, and prayers and thoughts on my behalf.  

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I will be keeping the "Go Fund Me" link up on my blog for a while, perhaps until Christmas, and if any of you are able to donate something to help with this upcoming move, it is indeed appreciated.  As well, I would like to thank those of you who have already donated towards my move, I want you all to know how much your kindness means to me and how much it will help!  The Go Fund Me link is on the right hand column of my blog.

Thank you so much for listening.  I wanted to post this update so that you will all know my news.  I will post any updates as they become available.  Warm hugs and much love to you all!

  15. Linda, I am so glad that you have given an update. I understand how stressful everything can be. I am happy to hear that you have found a great organization. I know some of them aren't so helpful. You will feel much better with the added support of a ride. I pray you find an affordable place soon. xx

  16. Hope you find a house soon. A couple of anti acid tablets worked wonders for me(far more effective than chalk based Rennies) when I had a nervous stomach for a few weeks, constantly feeling sick after I ate anything at all.. but it depends if you are on other medication

    1. In my case the nervous stomach has been associated with stress. To be honest, I don't use or trust over the counter remedies such as Tums, preferring to use natural remedies. I found an amazing tea that has helped a lot. Tetley Ayurvedic Balance - Poise Vata. It is an herbal tea, and I have one cup of this with a little honey and it is very calming. I recommend this to anyone going through stress.

  33. Oh Linda, I'm so sorry you've been so out of sorts, and I can certainly understand...I know the feeling. It's very difficult to even put thoughts together when we are feeling like that because of various life situations isn't it?

    I am so thankful to God that He has sent help your way in this tangible way! : ) Still praying that you and Romeo will find a safe, reasonable place to dwell. Praying for a sweet nest for you and little Romeo.

    God bless you dear Linda, praying this man will have some special insight and you both will receive favor. : )

    Much love and a supertight hug, coupled with many, many prayers. amelia
