So, I spent a weekend hitting the open homes and seeing what it's like to try to buy as a solo person. Folks, it's tough out there... As an older, single person, it's really tough. Take a look at how I found "the churn" and let me know how it compares to your experience.

A recent survey showed that 94% of customers would recommend a Heartland Reverse Mortgage to friends and family.

Not So Easy Christmas

Is this Christmas going to be a first for you since someone you loved passed away?

Christmas is coming!
Is this Christmas going to be a first for you since someone you loved passed away?
Perhaps, this year, marks two or more years since your loved one left this earthly life?
One thing you might like to do is create a tradition with them in mind.
Possible ideas are:
* set a place for them at the table
* say a prayer of thanksgiving that they lived
* make a dish and give it their name "Noeline's Desert"
* collect some berries because that is what they used to do
- "Keith's Berries".
* listen to their favourite music
* go for a walk or have a game with them in mind because that is what they liked to do

The memory of a person no longer with us can be a powerful aid in coping with our grief.
Strength and Peace be yours this Christmas.
With Kind Wishes to you all
Rhonda

As a home dialysis patient, I regularly receive medical supplies in very strong boxes (a lot of my medical supplies are heavy liquids).

So I have so many boxes to give away. For free. To any who wants them.
They haven't been flattened, because they'd lose a lot of their strength if I did that (although they'd still be strong thick cardboard boxes - your tape would be your weak link).

Anyone want any?
