How does a person rise above a nightmarish condo situation, while having to live there day after day?
I can tell you, it isn’t easy.
CONDO HELL. Soon, I will have lived in condo hell for four years. It started out with a quick change in attitude from the guy who sold me the condo as soon as I bought the place. (He was also the Developer, and is one of the... Read Full Story

I recently read that the beloved actress Sandra Bullock is starting a new life, which involves living in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The words on this flag kind of got to me, given my current living situation, in which I have been trying to cope with the aftermath of raw sewage overflows, an unscrupulous... Read Full Story

Can This Really Be Happening?
The Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary has a secondary entry for the word Purgatory as “a place or state of temporary suffering or misery.” I suspect there is probably another book of word meanings out there that has a picture of Purgatory’s suffering souls next to the word “condo owner.”
There are some lucky ones. I know that. I’ve heard these wild tales of how a Homeowners’ Association (HOA) or the Condo Trustees have actually done right by the... Read Full Story

Unitarian Oasis. I recently went to my first Unitarian service in search of some peace and community, at the suggestion of a very wise woman.
It was a lovely morning, with gentle music and voices, and friendly people. I got the sense that, although this congregation was liberal in their beliefs, they were active and serious about their efforts to better themselves and support good causes.
I took a moment to lay down my burdens…and it was good.
