Internet, television, radio, and people have been plagued with conversations, news articles, video clips, and interviews covering the topic. People all over the world are talking about it. Television and Radio stations visit the conversation more often than not. The poor, or low income class, is expanding.
One may ask: “How does the poor get ‘more-poor’?” So how do we cope with the new environment in which we live? What do we do to help others cope? I started by taking one day at a time and reflecting back on what a Professor said in one of my first classes in college; "Be where you are, when you are there, do what you are doing, when you are doing it." To sum that up, I believe she was saying, "Live in the moment."
This too is a time to grow and learn new skills, to continue on our path of personal and professional development. This is the time to be resourceful and fall back on those characteristics that sometimes lie dormant, such as; being an encourager, lending a hand, and the list goes . . . Not only does this help others to cope but it also is a mechanism for self to cope as well.

Just my thoughts on the new experiences many of us have been facing. SHARE your thoughts so we can all learn and grow from your experiences too!
Until the next time; let your VOICE be heard.
