Her name was Minnie, my faithful companion in homelessness. When we first became homeless and started living out of it, my youngest was only one and half years old. My oldest was only about 9 years old then. To my youngest, the rv was home. It wasn't until we came to my friend's house did I realize just how much living out of the rv had affected my daughter until she said "I don't like it in here. I want to go back to OUR house, the rv." That’s when it hit me that her memories of what “home” is are based on the three of us living out an old Minnie Winnebago.  Read more >

Recently I saw an article on a Facebook page featuring a headline in the Palm Beach Post News. A woman who commented on the Facebook page made the assumption that the content of the article was a slant against sex offenders and she began a tirade of “statistics” that sex offenders can be rehabilitated. The host who posted the article commented back that not all offenders can be rehabbed.  Read more >

Canada’s homeless have found a friend in filmmaker Daniel Cross. Daniel’s documentaries, THE STREET and S.P.I.T. (Squeegee Punks In Traffic) have won international awards for their radical and very raw take on the lives of homeless people. His current research involves a new project called the Homeless Street Archive as well as other documentaries. With the help of EyeSteelFilm, Daniel founded a non-profit forum for the homeless population so that their voices can be heard.  Read more >

What exactly does N.I.M.B.Y mean? For those of you who don’t know, it stands for Not In My Back Yard and now that you know what the acronym stands for, maybe you should be asking what exactly it is that N.I.M.B.Y’s will stand up for. When it comes to the homeless, N.I.M.B.Y attitudes are nothing new and are expected. Maybe you’re a  N.I.M.B.Y and don’t know it yet or maybe you do and keep that part of yourself locked in the closet. Either way, here’s some signs that you might be a N.I.M.B.Y : 1.  Read more >

About Me: 

Okay, just to make it sound like I'm more interesting than I actually am, I like the challenge of trying to fix cars with little or no money, am currently engaging in adventures with homelessness while raising two kids alone. I am also finishing one degree and getting ready to start another because I believe that just because one is homeless doesn't mean one can't be educated! For fun I like to write, dink around on the internet for umpteen hours blogging and trying to find "a real job." Have I left anything out?

Somewhere in Seattle
