Fortunate Friday: Resources

What if you had no way to reach family or friends; what if you couldn’t get where you needed to be; and what if you didn’t have resources for your needs and wants?  It really is hard to imagine living a life where nothing came easily, where literally you had to beg, steal, or borrow everything.  I’ve been poor, but I can’t say that I’ve ever been to that horrible place.

Especially in the technological era that we are in, there are numerous ways in which to reach out, give, receive, pay, buy, blog, bitch, and even cheat on your taxes (or your spouse).  So, today, I’m thankful for resources (not to cheat, by the way) and am fortunate to have such wonderful avenues of expressing myself and, well, for just living.

Just for fun, try to visualize what it would be like without the Internet, cell phones, banks, cars, electricity, running water, planes, and medical technology; then, I want you to think about the millions of people around the world who don’t have any or few of these things.  You and I are fortunate.  Be well-be beautiful.

About Kellie R. Stone

I believe that every woman has passions and dreams, waiting to be unlocked. With encouragement and support, they could grow into something tangible no matter how out there they seem to be. For me, one of those heart-fluttering passions has always been writing. Since I did, indeed, cultivate my dream of being a writer, I've written and/or edited 15+ years worth of articles here or on other blogs, published two non-fiction books in the self-development genre, co-authored an international best seller, and am working on a poetry anthology and another women's inner journey book. I adore showing others how to live life unfiltered, whether I do it through the written word or other vibrant means. Kellie R. Stone
