Nothing

A great place to start

to plan and create the best

version of myself.

Sometimes people fall on hard times from life transitions like unemployment, divorce, bankruptcy, or losing their homes to foreclosure. I can relate because I’ve experienced both unemployment and foreclosure. Neither was a pleasant moment, bringing fear and doubt inside my thoughts about the future. Having hope that things could improve, enabled me to see each situation for what it was in the long run: the opportunity to begin anew and rebound better than before. Ultimately, I discovered the strength to reassemble the pieces after things fall apart in both scenarios.

Today, I will be optimistic and resilient if I experience any setback and, if necessary, to rebuild my life if I must start from nothing.
