Free Alexis Hutchinson.....single moms speak out!!!!!

I used to think the army stood for justice, I thought of them as do-gooders, peace-makers, problem solvers.... you know stuff like that. I guess I thought wrong. I read BV today...(that's blackvoices for all of you who don't know) and it really hurt me to see that the army would do such a thing to a single parent, who has no other means of childcare. This girl is struggling, believe me single parenting isn't any easy job. She joined the army probably for a better life for her and her son, with the thought that they would provide the things she may need for her child. I mean why else would a person join the army??? I know it ain't for fun!!!! With all that said I'm sure she thought they would help her find the proper childcare or at least provide the proper funding for a safe place for the child to reside while she was away. Instead, they turn the other cheek at the last minute and put her in jail.... wtf???? Is that the way they treat you?? Yeah, I understand that it is mandatory that you deploy when they say you need to, but what happens to your family if they aren't stable or old enough to take care of themselves. Right now that child is with his grandmother, who might I add is overloaded, physically and emotionally burned out with taking care of other relatives, check the article for more info @

I just feel that this is an unfair way to treat a person and a child, we don't know how this child is doing as of now, his grandmother can't take care of him, she can't give him the attention he needs as a 10 month old, and as a mother I would have done the same damn thing!! As parents we want to make sure our children are safe at all times, especially when we are gone for long periods of time. No woman wants to leave her child in an unsafe environment, that's not an act of good parenting damnit! Instead of the army arresting her they should have accommodated her and kept their word, gave her a freakin extension, I mean she is a cook damnit!!! I'm sure the army has whole lot of damn cooks!!! This is an injustice to all single moms, whether you're in the army not! There are people out there right now looking for ways to get their child proper childcare, the funding for childcare is scarce, and it's so much going on these days, that you just can't leave your child with people, unless you have known them throughout your life and you know they're not pervs!!!
This is BS with a capital B!!!!! They need to let her go so she can be with her son and try to come up with a solution, jail time shouldn't be an option, it's just downright wrong!!!!
God Bless!!!

Why We Should Find Alternative Ways of Living to Avoid Eviction & Homelessness

                   It was a sunny day in June when we found out our landlord wouldn't be renewing our lease, the day was going great, I made a couple of sales, business wasn't great but it was paying bills. I was talking to my husband in "the shop" (the tiny home in the backyard that turned out to be the perfect workspace) about the rodent problem that we were experiencing when my oldest son came in with the mail. There it was, a notice that our landlord wouldn't be renewing our lease. The talk of rodents went elsewhere, we immediately went into survival mode thinking and planning what would be our next move. We were starting over with the house, at the top of our budget at 1400 dollars a month plus utilities.  The duplex we lived in before the house was great for a Sunnyside Duplex,. The landlord kept it up, but there was a shootout there, and that raised concerns with my husband and I, which caused us to look for another place to live. So we found thou house wit

The Art of Bouncing Back: Steps to Pick up the Pieces and Start Again

       B ouncing back, picking up the pieces, picking up yourself, starting over, whatever you want to call it requires a whole lot of patience and perseverance. When we fall, man, we tend to fall hard some of us have a hard time getting back up, some of us need a boost or some kind of motivation to get out of the slump. Don't feel bad, we have all been through it. Falling on your face will surely make you feel like shit, but you got to get on up now! (in my Jodeci voice) the comeback is always phenomenal so don't trip. Find your Reason.      Shit happens in life, we got to be prepared for everything these days, but when we aren't prepared and shit just hits us back-to-back it throws us off track, well it is up to us to hop back on the saddle and ride till the wheels fall off, or the hooves, whatever. Just get the hell up and do something, find your reason, find a good reason to do it and do it for you. Give yourself time to feel bad, cry if you have to and let it all ou

Finding employment in Houston............

                It seems to be the hardest thing to do these days.....  with unemployment rates rising and companies  continuously laying off employees, people are becoming discouraged. The workforce is crowded, it's like future employees are fighting for jobs. Well with that said, I took the liberty to help find ways to make money and tips on how to find the right job for you. First off, we will look at some of the things that can possibly stop you from finding a good job, we will start with appearance. Overall appearance plays a big role in job-hunting, employers want to see their future employee in business professional attire, not in everyday street wear. When attending an interview men should be sure to be clean shaven, hair should be groomed, clothes should be cleaned, ironed, shirts tucked in, and belts if pants have loops. There should be no jewelry, unless it's a wedding band, earrings, necklaces, gold teeth, are prohibited and should not be worn to an interview.
