When I got sober almost 31 years ago, I found the quote "When the going gets tough, the tough get going" in the newspaper. At the time, I was in a tremendously scary abusive relationship and I had just gotten sober. I clipped out that little tidbit and taped it to my driver's license. It comes back to my mind now, and it's still helpful.
I now find that the person who swore to never fail me in order to get me to move here has had an emotional breakdown of some sort, so now I'm seeking at least $250 a month to just pay my rent. Thankfully, all utilities are included in my rent, so there's only that amount lacking in my measly social security amount of $545 a month. If I can just manage to sell readings and items I make in the amount of $250 extra a month, I can make it. I'm shaking in my boots because I don't know if I can make that much. I'm going to give it a heck of a try because my rental history is excellent and I don't want to break my lease on this apartment by having to move out before the year is up. It's not up till July.
I'm going to keep posting things for sale here on my blog, along with photographs of the items and I'm thinking of doing a half price sale on readings in hopes of getting some income going that way as well. Ten $25 readings a month would be a great help. At least I'd keep a roof over my head and not have to break my lease.
