4 Ways That You Can Support Homeless People in Your Community

>> Dec 14, 2011

The issue of homelessness is a serious one that will only go away with the help and involvement of entire communities. It is important to recognise that homelessness is caused by a variety of issues that effect individuals differently, and so the problem requires some serious and creative solutions from all people as opposed to waiting for government officials to fix everything. Here are some suggestions of things you can do to help homeless people in your community today.

Show Respect
People who are homeless are not really different from anyone else; they have simply run into a different set of life circumstances than you have. One of the easiest and most important things you can start doing right now is show compassion towards the people who are worse off than you, and to acknowledge them as equals and people who deserve respect. People who are homeless have to face isolation and scorn everyday, so being treated in a civil, polite way once in a while will help them to feel like they really do matter.

Support the Local Homeless Shelter
There is a lot of work to be done when it comes to running homeless shelters, and they often can't provide their services to all the people who need them. That is why it's so important for members from the community to help out as well. There are many things you can do: you can organise fundraising events, volunteer your time serving food, make donations of money, clothes or other household items, or you can work on getting the word out and drumming up more support. Every little thing helps when it comes to improving
homeless services, so whether you are buying charity Christmas cards or organising large events, just do something and you will be helping.

Support Policies That Help the Homeless
Although the real power of combating homelessness is in the hands of people in your community, it also helps a lot to try to support policies that benefit homeless people as well. Often, people who are homeless are working but simply can't rise above the poverty line, so any policy that controls the cost of rent or that raises the minimum wage needs to be supported. Other people who are homeless may be victims of domestic violence or are suffering from mental illness and addiction, so rallying for better services and more affordable housing in your community is an absolute must. Make yourself heard and contact local government representatives – they won't act on these problems unless you, the voter, make them.

Educate Those around You
If you see someone being abusive or rude to a homeless person, or overhear someone saying negative things about them, you must act, as educating those that are close to you is extremely important if you want to help end the cycle of homelessness. Teaching your children about homelessness will ensure that they grow up to be compassionate, caring people who will hopefully become community-minded as they get older. Actions speak louder than words, so if you continue to do what you think is right, others will see this and want to help out too. Homelessness is not the problem of the individual, but is an issue that can only be solved with the co-operation of entire communities, so make sure you are doing your part.

Fish and Water

Yesterday we had a lunch at a restaurant that has a koi fish pond. I saw lots of fish in the pond; they are tame. You can touch them.
Many fish in the water makes interesting water bubbles and ripples; that’s why I link this post to

Buying a Home with Your Super- Things You Need To Know

>> Dec 13, 2011

Buying a home with your superannuation sounds like a good deal and often is. It’s considered “smart” and has some tax benefits. Fine, but let’s not get too starry-eyed just yet. There’s more to it than that. A lot more, in fact, and it has to do with the basics of property investment. If you’re going to invest your super in a home, you need professional advice. You must be 100% sure you’re making the right move with your super.

The big issue- Avoiding taking risks with your super
Your super is your nest egg. For most people, it’s the biggest source of personal capital outside their homes. When buying a home with your super, perhaps for your retirement, the risks of buying investment property must be clearly understood.

The problems are:

Getting value out of your investment rather than more costs- When you buy any property, you’re buying a situation which involves:

· The quality of the premises
· Site issues
· Financial outlays
· Maintenance costs
· Rates
· Water rates
· Property tax, where applicable

If you just had a vision of thousands of dollars flying around, you’re a true realist. These things have to be factored in to any property investment. This is your super we’re talking about, too, so the risks could have other impacts, particularly on your retirement capital, if you take on unforeseen extra outlays.

Sorry to be so apparently negative, but it’s critical that when you invest your super you’ve got a good idea of all the basic information you need and a healthy respect for possible risks. To make the best use of your super, you have to pin down all these issues well before the purchase stage. You don’t want to be buying a liability. You want to be buying an investment property asset which will do what you need it to do.

Getting it right
The formula for successful risk management when investing your super isn’t complicated, but it does involve some preparation.

You need:

· A very clear picture of your goals- Before doing anything at all, decide what you want, and what sort of investment you’re prepared to make. Do you want a nice apartment, a cozy home, a beachside bungalow, or something special based on personal tastes? OK, now do some costing- Doable, isn’t it?

· Expert property investment advice- This is basic common sense, but you’ll find that the information available is invaluable in risk assessment and forward planning. A few minutes consultation or reading information can make the difference between a sad mistake and a brilliant investment move.

· Good financial advice- It’s a very good, simple move to run your investment idea past your tax accountant. You’ll find that all the information you need regarding your options for investing your super are just a phone call away. You also need to know what you can and can’t do in terms of superannuation laws.

Remember that you can use your super to get a dream home, if you try. Getting things right will pay off.

Empty Seats

>> Dec 12, 2011

Yesterday Sunday, my husband and I asked my father to attend a family gathering at my father’s youngest brother home. I was glad that he’d like to go. I could see that other relatives there felt rather confused about my father’s recent condition. My father still remembered their names but when he’s being asked a question, my father didn’t respond it correctly or he answered it very slowly. We plan to take my father to a hospital this Monday. Hope I can get the answer and then start to resolve it with proper treatments. I really want my father to be happy, healthy, and active in his old age.

For Blue Monday, I share here empty blue seats in an airplane. On our last flight to Jakarta, we brought a wheel chair for my father. The stewardess told us to wait for the wheel chair and went down from the plane in the last turn. That’s why I was able to capture these empty seats; since all other passengers have come out of the plane.

How to Create a Happy Home

>> Dec 11, 2011

Looking for ways to turn your house into a happy, welcoming home? Look no further.

Where we live should be more than just a place to sleep – it should be a place we feel happy to call a home, somewhere we can relax and enjoy both our time alone and our time surrounded by friends and family. Here are some ways to help you create the happy home everyone should have.

1. Treat Your House as a Home.

In order to truly feel at home, you need to start treating your house like one.

If you are someone who prefers to spend most of your time outdoors, or always prefers to be out in the evenings, or would rather meet at other friends’ places: ask yourself, why is that?

What is it about your house that makes you want to spend so little time there? Is it that your backyard lacks privacy and you feel like you cannot relax? There is usually a simple solution, such as investing in
garden fencing or some other means of providing a little more privacy, if that’s what you feel is lacking.

2. Add Personal Touches.

Any place can feel foreign and uncomfortable if you haven’t taken the time to put your own spin on the place.

Even if you do not own the home, or you share your house with other renters, it doesn’t mean that you can’t put up pictures and photos you love, souvenirs you’ve bought from your travels, and so on.

Give yourself the task one weekend to go out and buy supplies to help you make your home more interesting, and decorate it in such a way you feel proud to show it to those who visit.

3. Make Your Home a Destination.

If you get restless at your house and seem to always arrive there, only to want to go out again straight away, why not find ways to make home life more exciting?
Investing a little now will mean you save time and money later on, and soon your friends will be eager to visit.

You might want to get new
pool supplies in time for the summer weather, set up an entertainment system or simply buy some great new music to listen to.

4. Can You Live There?

A happy home needs to be a comfortable one, not just a roof over your head. Do you find it unbearably hot in the summer, and freezing in the winter? Is your bed the sanctuary it should be? Do you enjoy sitting in your living room furniture?

Issues of comfort are perhaps one of the most important parts of making your home happy. Focusing on them will mean you improve your quality of life incredibly - even if it means you need to look into moving somewhere new because you cannot find any other solution: it will be worth it.

Otherwise, if it’s a simple matter of new furniture or getting creative with temperature solutions – get your brainstorming hat on! Look online for great deals and ideas.

5. Be Proud of Your Home.

If your house is a mess, too cluttered - or, on the other extreme, completely barren that if you had friends over for dinner you would have nowhere for anyone to sit: it’s time to change this.

The reality is, we all need to recharge our batteries on occasion, and this is extremely difficult to do if we cannot relax in our own home.

Take care of your house on a regular basis: a little cleaning and extra care taken every week will mean you don’t let the mess get on top of you, and staying at home or having people over to visit will no longer be a stressful experience.

It’s so simple to make your house a happy home, no matter what your resources or situation. Follow this advice and you’ll be feeling relaxed, comfortable and house-proud in no time.
