Oprah Winfrey said one time that she was so poor she could not even get a doll for Christmas. I thought about that when I was in a huge upscale mansion of a client that overlooked the Pacific Ocean. She had her own rags to riches story.
Many years ago she was laid off from her job at the beginning of April. Since she was a person that at that time lived pay check to pay check, she had to get an extension to pay her Federal and State taxes, then she had to beg her landlord to give her a little more time to pay her May rent. Her meals consisted of drinking alot of soup.
She never told either one of her parents that she was unemployed and had no income. She went to the cemetery the Saturday before Mother’s Day and after the funerals she stole a few flowers from several different graves. She did not want it to be noticeable so she made sure not to leave any holes or dents. Then she went to the 99 cents store and bought a vase.
Her mother got several flowers for Mother’s Day, but her bouquet of various types of multi color flowers was the biggest one and the most unique arrangement she got that year.
Luckily she started to make some money from her own internet business by Father’s Day and she was able to shop for her father in a regular store, not in the cemetery like she had to do for her mother.
