Today, I am starting to settle in to this place. Its hard to sleep at night because I don't have my pillow or blankets but, I am adapting to this place. It is all women's place where we have four program classes per day and work on our Treatment Goals. Today, I landed housing with Bashir in Bloomington. I am so thankful for him and it will be nice because I'll be only two miles from the police station and close to Starbucks. I might get my social security number changed and work part time there with my disability or figure out a way to make other income. I will never use myself in anyway shape or form for money. Women who do that have low self-esteem and concept's.


I have been given a chance to put my life together and it starts with a single step. Once I am out of here I'll have the tools and resources to be successful to land my dreams and goals. I want to get an emotional support dog for my ptsd it will help me with my anger outbursts. It will help me before they come on. Being in Bloomington, Minnesota close to the police will make me feel at home and even if I get to visit Officer Captain Jerry Waukuitz it will be worth all of it. I hope in a year I'll be able to get back on my feet to do some volunteer work and eventually get back into it.


I think I will become a lawyer and focus on Environmental, Government, and Litigation. With these three I should bring in a good income and be in demand. These types of lawyers make an easy $150,000 with all fields of law combination I am guessing. I have a legal mind and I have a foundation of communications and even if I want to switch it up and take another Masters in Criminal Justice Leadership I'll be a hell of a lawyer it will be a win win and help me out on the back end.


Where do I go from here; well, I am a mother of 270,036 original copy officer captain sophisticates who are growing and loving life. They love it when their mother can be who she is and and all that she is. I love taking care of them, guiding them, and developing them into young adults to be ready for the world and adventures that await. My life is unique that because it's not my first rodeo to Crisis this will be the second crisis stay that I go through. I hope to gain skills here that I can take into the community. Landing my housing assignment today makes me feel good and I'll be ready for a place soon enough. I will have to get creative when they take my money from disability I am going to look for scholarships and when you can write essays I'm going to do it.


I am a late bloomer reason being due to my cancer, and mental health condition ptsd which can hold me back a little bit, its more the add that holds me back but, it won't forever. I do good on most things but, have went from being dyslexic to working through four more years of college. I am a over achiever but, don't have enough wins quite yet. I am working on that but, have encountered major opposition and hope to be done with that after this stay here in Saint Paul.


Goals:


  1. Buy A desktop computer

  2. Buy a laptop computer

  3. Buy markers and art supplies to do art therapy

  4. Be in Bloomington June 15th 2021

  5. Find some new cloths at Goodwill

  6. Attend regular AA Meetings

  7. Find a mentor for business

  8. Find Bert to do Amway or 31 Gifts

  9. Do 31 Gifts and make a side income

  10. Get an Emotional Support Dog to help with my Mental Health Condition


So when the dust settles and the sky parts to see blue sky . . .this is what will matter most not what's in my account but what I have left behind.
