Hi! and welcome back to the Global Community Park!
There are many changes happening in the world today. The world, as we know it, is changing rapidly. I noticed it more when I tried to raise money for my singer to go to Chicago. I understood that people just are not spending money and that many don't have it to spend!
The world is changing and our society is changing with it. Just today, after over 30 years of ruling, China as repealed its rule that each family can only have one child (of course, the rule was extended if you didn't have a male child). But today, the rule was repealed. Are we preparing for the next war? Who knows?
For this reason, I've bent the focus of the Global Community, because I think we need to understand about more than living in "paradise". Right now we have a whole generation of kids who are disconnected from society as a whole and very comfortable with it. We have a senior population who are fighting for their promised Social Security Retirement Benefits.
Two that I know of are sick and one who died before their S.S. Benefits check was received (three days before to be exact). The woman who died was an award winning author and was featured on CNN in Chicago. Her husband managed her writing career and when he died in March 2014, she didn't know how to handle her business. She found her house was in foreclosure and she had around 200 books ready to be mailed out for P.R. Her husband was handling everything and his secrets, died with him. She became depressed, living in her brand new SUV after losing her home, she began to drink heavily, she died from alcohol poisoning in September 2014.
I was given her mail three days after her death and her Social Security acceptance letter had finally arrived, but she'll never know it.
Two other friends have been waiting for 3 years for their checks to begin. Mind you, this is not Welfare. These people worked and paid into the Social Security System with the understanding that they would be able to collect when they retired! I know one of them worked for 30 years, then retired! The other, I'm not sure of.
It's for this reason, my heart is heavy knowing that people are hurting emotionally, financially, and are sickly-physically! It's for this reason I'll begin sharing the focus of this blog.
Our Global Community means more that finding ways to enjoy our lives in "paradise", but, also to share our ideas.
Find a way to get promises that we were told as children about how Social Security taken out of our paychecks will be a type of savings for our retirement (before it somehow changed into a supplement to the American Welfare System), and help those of us who need our retirement savings supplemented. It was NEVER meant to be Welfare.
This is just one of the topics I'll share in this blog. I hope my readers will stay with me through this change. I won't let you down and will still discuss living in paradise on a budget. I also want to cover the new working generation who have rejected the dream of having a good job, a house, and 2.5 kids. They are the generation X that feel cheated and lied to. I listen to them saying that the "American Dream" was a lie all along. They instead are opting to find, define and pursue their own dreams and working online is allowing them the freedom to do just that.
Anyway, I've rambled too long and I'm sorry for that. I'm working on changing that as well.
Once again, thank you for all your help and support. Those of you who have rewards coming will get them next week. I'll let you know when you can collect!
Here's the picture I promised yesterday of the raised ocean levels here in "paradise"
These pics were this morning. Although it is eerie, it's awesome as well. Nature is BE U Ti Ful!

| These waves are usually not visible unless I'm on my patio. |

| There is usually an island where the arrow is pointing. I can usually see it, but not today! |
