During the beginning of my divorce I had contemplated living in my car because with my income I was not able to afford the rent and because of this experience I find myself emotionally drawn to the topic of affordable housing.

Reading Memoir In a recent survey by Statics Brain Research Institute, fifty-seven percent of books started aren’t read to completion. I must say I am one of those who start books and don’t finish them. People read all the time. Rather, for information, for entertainment, for instruction, or for guidance.
