Dare to Dream: The New President November 19, 2008

by Janice Burroughs

My life events are not unique. Just listen to the passion of the 2008 campaign as people struggle within the greatest country of modern times. Many have lost homes, retirement savings, jobs, and health benefits. They may lose more if their marriages or health do not survive the stress.

I was blessed with a twenty year marriage, successful career, and a beautiful daughter. Then the next 5 years brought divorce, the suicide of my ex-spouse, single parenting, the death of my father, health issues for me and my Mom, job loss, and astronomical private health premiums. And now? I am a small business owner in the midst of an economic recession!
