Life's a risk, so I took one

Submitted by Joanne Griffing

I was one of the many Americans who was laid off in Sept/09. No jobs, unemployment was months behind, afraid/fear took over as I kept asking "what am I suppose to do"?

So I somehow talked my husband into becoming Foster Parents. I thought lets give back, so we took the 9 month course, but we're not in the system yet. Here is the reason why and how my life has changed profoundly.

While taking the classes for Foster Care I received a phone call from some guy in DC asking if I wanted to "help him out". I was referred to him and I had nothing better to do and he needed travel help, from me! Volunteering, but hmm maybe this is a niche'. I had just opened my Travel Agency too. I told myself if I was still being a "Travel Agent" I would open my own doors, so I did, Tea Party Planning.

Well, everything was falling into place nicely so I prayed.

The volunteering I did turned into something no American thought would happen, the Tea Party was born, Americans started Protesting for their freedom. I did it, with my friend in DC and through his 1000 members, we put 2.6 Americans together uniting USA! It felt so good to be an AMERICAN that ONE day, so good. Ask anyone, if you didn't have goosebumps well, your not American.

These issues we deal with are for WE THE PEOPLE. It's alot of issues that needed to be taken care of a long time ago. Seems like the baby boomers have alot of strength left, after all most of us are just congratulating ourselves as our kids just graduated College. Now, if only they could find jobs.

And that's just one problem. So many, so much you don't know, we have to go back to DC, we have to keep fighting for our FREEDOM.

So, last year was easy for me to full fill my dream, I was the only one on the Internet.

Now, I'm no longer alone. Whereas last year if you said TEA nobody even knew what that was (Taxed Enough Already) this year everybody knows everything. But wait, I'm still here! Go to my site.

So I sit and wait and pray. Oh and I'm a blogger now too. I blog, every state to promote me.

I took a risk, I'll let you know if it was worth it in September.

For now, I sit, blog, pray and wait as my future is unknown, now that's scary.
