For the Love Of God and Country and Whats Right and Just... ONWARD
I am almost convinced the world has gone upside down mad! I think it is a very safe bet to say this last 8 years c-r-a-z-y! And that is being kind... extremely kind! I am convinced with pure intention this tobaggle of life as we have seen has purposely put into place to create the great divide. A disharmony... Do you realize how many relationships have been destroyed? How many families have been misplaced? How many companies have folded? How many children have been misinformed, misdiagnosed and been fed who knows what by who? I-n-s-a-n-e!!!! And I'll get to the entitlement crisis in a bit!
I don't like talking politics!!! I am not qualified other than an opinion on how this imposed nonsense descended into my world...
Lets start at the beginning, shall we! I had a very good job. Honestly the first real take charge and do what I had been trained to do... I was an event coordinator for a prestigious banquet facility. Yes, food and beverage at its elitist! I had worked my way up the food chain (no pun intended) to watch it come crumbling down after a corporation changed hands. Then as the corporation's policies were changing the onset of the 2008 financial crash came immediately to follow. (I am not sure anyone is aware of what I did before the world started to fall subject to____________! Fill in your own word on that one.)
My job description and job duties included, Coordinated and designed events developed packages to meet the customers need, Ordering all food and beverage, maintaining a staff of 20+ and other vendors for production and events. Desktop publishing maintaining web content, writing copy on various topics creating newsletters, brochures etc… for all marketing advertising purposes. I was responsible for banking accounting and human resource procedures.
I had always had my hand in art. I had always had this entrepreneurial sense for doing extra. Most of my young adult life with my talents I had been honing in on always finding a way to make money... extra money at doing what I did best. So when the onset of this nonsense started I resorted back to what I always knew...
To follow came a 12-week gig for KSDK our NBC affiliate station. They were needing a writer and moderator for a mom's website. Thrilled at that opportunity, my position a discussion leader/Contributing writer Headed up discussions for a group while moderating content for other participants. Writing on several different topics/segment assigned for weekly discussions. It was quite the eye opener for things yet to be discovered. My love for writing and research flourished. My online and on-screen presence found new meaning. I had no problem at all when the TV anchor asked if she could come over and interview me while I did an art project! It opened more opportunities and I realized where my passion laid.
As I watched the world before me, lay offs after lay offs and the struggles of families keeping their homes and banks and mortgage companies foreclosing and the disintegration of families and relationships end... it devastated a world! If I heard one more time from anyone "well you need to go get a job! Go do anything!" Especially in my own relationship... I was blatantly told, "I am not going to support you." I never was looking to be supported. I was looking to land somewhere feet on the ground and head up swimming above. The whole world as we knew folding in front of our eyes devastated by corruption and greed. ( I am sure each of you reading have your own story to tell!)
Then the hand outs came and people who never in their life needed state dependence having no choice but to turn to an entity that promised salvation. Embarrassing and with no other options lines formed to feed their families. Thrown in my face... I too needed the assistance. There was no other way...
All the time, seeking and searching. Phone calls and emails that half of the time not knowing where any of it was going... All the time watching culture after culture invade our country. My country! trying to find a place to live... while forcing the majority of us in a place we could not understand. I could feel my dad rolling over in his grave.
Out of the woods out of the waters... in deep and sinking... emotional, financially and mentally sunk. That is how it all felt. Now looking back as this picture all unfolds... bit by bit we have been played and lead into a desert because we have been told there was water. Shameful and disgusted! That is what I feel now!
My entrepreneurial spirit downtrodden. I had always worked part time. I was proud of being able to provide and support my existence and for my children. It no longer was working... and I could not wrap my head around any of it... fear had set in! Anxiety had taken over... causing more ruckus and crucifying life... my life as I knew it!
Taking a 2 day a week gig to maintain, that was my choice, my only option! Thankful yes... begrudgingly sick there were no other choices. Watching my own relationship crumble to a horrific measure... I can only hope if he reads this he finally has come to terms with his selfish abusive behavior and he begs God for his own forgiveness because I will NEVER forgive his intolerant behavior. Detrimental blatant abuse and destructive cheating... the things he caused that has played a great part in my health.
Crawling from the depths of despair, depression, PTSD, financially broke and mentally done, I reinvented life. I did what I did forcing myself to do anything... it is ironic what mental exhaustion will force you to do! I got up. I got dressed. I did my make up... I had to remind myself to eat! I got in my car and I continued to go.
I am no JK Rowlings but I know that place she was at! Although suicide was never an option... it lingered close. I had kids and grandkids that I was determined to pull through for... regardless of what any person or Dr was going to tell me... BOTTOM LINE! LIFE GOES ON... SO GET ON WITH IT!

Freelance Communication Coordinating/ Writer/Photographer/Artist http://kitryn-marie.weebly.com I Specialized in, marketing, research, writing, web content writing/social media, public relations, desktop publishing, creative design for advertising, digital content/photography and fine art.

I became proficient in events coordinating, vendor set up/relations, hiring entertainment and scheduling/ordering food and beverage I also passionately talentedly dived into teaching private groups in home settings for acrylic painting instructions for adults. I was not going to sit on my ass and feel someone owed me something! NO ONE OWED ME A DAMN THING!
There were times I worked for free just to gain the experience and exposure! I needed to do what I needed to do... to maintain and survive and grow as a woman making her mark in this life still trying to provide for my child. My mantra became... WATCH ME! My hashtags became #answers #photography #writer #horses #beauty #travel #meetmeinstlouis #buildingmyempire #ninetythousanddollars #beautynotbeast #location #blessed #magic #manifest #succesful #myhappylife #starofmyownrealty #starofmyownroad #resort #retreat #madefortv
If I wrote it enough and said it all out loud it was going to happen! and I was not going to give up! I am determined ... It is going to take place and this is the life I am going to live!
So where am I now and how does it all apply? I will inform you... unless you have been living under a rock! Middle-Class AMERICA has spoken! We are tired of being subject to a lower standard of living because an entity has said there is water! We might be thirsty but we are not stupid or blind nor lazy! We work! and it is only those that have protested in childish, I need to be fed, I need to be protected, give ME whatever my crying achy breaky heart needs is done! We as Middle-Class America have been over looked and not heard!
There has been massive demonstration and destruction in a country that its founding fathers based this country on freedom of speech, family value, God and enterprise. Restoration is what is needed for us all to come together as a unit! We are in this struggle and fight to get us back to some sense of order. Where business is at hand and priority for a successful happy life is put into the proper place!
I will continue to work and do what I do in order to survive and become successful in my field... I will continue to be an upholding citizen, human being, woman, mother and entrepreneur respecting this life and this country for the sake of... ONWARD AND LETS GET ON WITH IT! There is a future ahead... a bright one for all of us that stand for the sanctity of family and God and the future children of this country and great nation!
I am just one... and I hope whoever reads... YOU ARE TWO, THREE, FOUR ETC... We are all in this together! Until next time...
