so i finally have a job. yeah!!! i work in the scheduling department of Apx Alarms. meaning i set appointments for technicians to go visit customers, talk to tech's when they've visited customers, et cetera. i just started on last Friday. i like it so far. unfortunately, it may have come too late. i have some serious bills coming due, and i had to borrow money for gas today.
on another note, i'm finally getting things on paper for the NPO (non profit organization) i want to start. if all goes as planned (which it rarely ever does) i'll have every thing i can do done by the end of the year. hopefully the governmental aspects won't take that long, and i'll have it up and running by the time i go back to my fam's house for my Christmas vacation. for those of you who don't know, it is my goal to organize and operate an NPO that not only provides a service, but networks the resources of other related organizations. the goal is to treat and prevent abuse, rape, and violence in general. not only would we shelter, physically and emotionally treat, and assist abuse victims- and provide legal assistance- but provide treatment for the offenders. if the victims are the only ones being treated, the circle of abuse isn't broken, it's only split; like cell nuclei before multiplication. besides, complete healing for the victims is infinitely more difficult if there is no remorse on the offender's side. how do you reconcile yourself to the idea that some one you thought you knew, and trusted hurt you so deeply... and it didn't even phase them? or even to the idea that you were picked randomly by some violently sick stranger; that it wasn't personal? and, if offenders are also treated, the chance of repetition and/or acceleration is notably reduced. some of the services we will offer will include shelter, counseling, medical treatment, legal assistance, parenting and health classes, access to the resources of other organizations, habilitation, rehabilitation, and anonymous emergency hotlines. the hope is to be able to supplement, and perhaps improve upon, any and all existing organizations- regardless of religious or governmental affiliation.
so, that just about covers it.

Congrats on the new job! Have you heard of "The Secret"? If not, I recommend that you research it, and either read the book or watch the video! (www.thesecret.tv) It tells about the law of attraction. What we feel and think, is what we attract to us! If you actually SEE your non-profit (in your mind) up and running, it will attract what you need to be able to GET it up and running! Trust me on this! I have been living "the secret" for years without ever knowing :) I am known for saying "What you see..shall be!" Go for it! :)
Hey, I'd love to hear an update on this NPO... when I am rich and famous I will help fund you. :) I truly agree that the offenders of abuse need lots of treatment, too. The cycle won't stop by just throwing them in jail and/or getting their victims away from them!
