It's Alive!
Most of you readers know that Joey and I started "Two Feet Below" with the idea of joining able-bodied people who want to learn more about crip life, and help crips get through this thing we call life on this berg we call Earth through our experiences.

#5 New state, new me. As scary as it can be to go to a school far away where no one knows you, it can also be incredibly exciting! Getting to go to a new place with new people can help leave behind any embarrassing childhood memories or reputations you've acquired over the awkward childhood-teen years. Due to the nature of living so closely with other people and being surrounded by others who have similar interests as yourself, (especially if you're entering college with a declared major) it is generally easy to meet friends quickly and most colleges have designated freshmen events the first week for that very purpose.
How to Earn a Million
You are working that nine to five job somewhere mediocre, putting hours into making someone else rich. All you are rewarded with is just about enough money to keep the lights on and food on the table. Your boss, however, he is taking expensive holidays, dining out five days a week, showing off the latest phone, and driving around in his flashy car.
ConfessionsPublished 6 years ago in JournalHow To Start a Business for Those on SSI
I have an idea for a turnkey website designed to help people start a business rapidly. It would help people on SSI and SSDI make money to get off those systems and live freely. It would be a massive collection of links to Nolo press as well as city websites everywhere in the United States for every major city. It would be functioning as part social network, part database. The website would help a business owner write a business plan using business plan template software. We would make every Nolo press paper or paperless contract available on the site. SSI could use this to promote the PASS Plan that gets people to plan ahead financial self-sufficiency.

Having only been at uni for one semester, it seems a bit pointless to write something like this as I am probably just as clueless as people who haven't gone to uni yet, but I know that if I had read something like this there would definitely be a few things I would've done differently.

I was taught young to take pride in my work, work with integrity, and be dependable and reliable. I'm an 80s baby and this was even a course in high school. They called it a business class and taught me how to speak, how to dress, how to have a good work ethic; they taught me that this is how you build security and grow in a company. Unsure if it is a grand scheme, but they conditioned me to believe that was it—no options. I stepped into the world believing I had to work for a company.
Kristen BryantPublished 6 years ago in JournalChasing the Dream: Musical Theatre
February 24. A large portion of my 2018 year goals/plans can soar or crumble based on my actions of that day, February 24. As the new year rolls around, I love seeing the messages of hope and encouragement. Seeing goals made and pursued. To see individuals mentally and physically decide that this year is a new start for them. There's some serious motivation there. When I dig deep down, I understand I need to make goals more often, for longer periods of time, yada yada yada. But my goal list could turn one way or another on February 24. No, it's not my birthday, nor is it an anniversary of anything I've done previously. February 24 is the date of my audition for the Musical Theatre Program at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. For those that don't know, I live in Farmington, NM, a small city in the Four Corners area where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah all meet. In reference to that date, I want to dedicate this post to the importance of chasing your dream. To chase you dream, you must research, act, and be willing to accept the results.
Kevin RothlisbergerPublished 6 years ago in EducationThe Year that Kohl's Saved Christmas
2017 was a bit of a rocky year and the turbulence hit a frenzied level when I lost my job at the beginning of May. What followed was five months of struggle—collecting unemployment, a small part-time “consulting” type gig that was inconsistent at best and the fear that at age 53, my best years as a marketing professional were behind me.
