A Good Person Just Lost Her Job: The lady who rehabilitated a drunk in her neighbourhood loses her job
I lost my job 2 days to 2016...i have thrown two 'termination of appointment' parties and my niece thinks thats a wierd reaction considering how much I loved my job. As one whose spirit cannot be bowed by circumstances, i'm super excited about the new year. Its time to explore, get knowledge and hone my skills in preparation for the centre stage...by God, give me three months!!!
Anyone in a similar situation? The year doesnt feel new and you are wondering why everyone else is happy but you? Trust me life happens but till you decide not to be a victim, life will keep happening. Don't let life toss you, make life happen on your terms.
Cry if you have to, talk to someone but make sure you stand up, rise up from where you are. You have so much to offer. You are more blessed than you feel, stonger than you think, greater than you imagine.
Look in the mirror and see a conqueror. Beat your chest and say I cannot be defeated. I'm the light of the world and the life of the party.
Life wants to ahow me pepper. ..me, i'm already making pepper soup...and its gonna be veeery sweet.����

Murder-Suicide: Man kills himself and his two children by deliberately driving off a wharf in South Australia
In what is being described as murder-suicide, a popular father from Port Lincoln on Monday morning, January 4, drove himself and his young children off the end of a wharf in the coastal South Australian city at high speed. The bodies of Damien Little and his sons, were found in the submerged car by police divers. A rifle was also recovered from the car.
The white station wagon was spotted driving off the end of Brennan's Wharf about 6:00am, and sank in up to 30 metres of water. Witnesses told police it seemed the vehicle had deliberately driven off the wharf. Divers from SA Police's Water Operations Section flew to Port Lincoln from Adelaide for an underwater search, and police said the bodies of Little and his children were found just before 12:30pm.
On Tuesday, January5, Police has confirmed that Little deliberately drove off the wharf and into 30 metres of water. A family acquaintance and local businessman told AAP he was still numb about what happened.
"It’s just a shocking thing to have happen out of the blue and for no reason that we knew of," Wheatsheaf Hotel owner Peter Watherston said on Tuesday.
"He and his brother used to pop out for a beer. He was just a normal, everyday Australian bloke."
South Australian Commissioner for Victims’ Rights Michael O’Connell urged people not to rush to blame Mr Little.
"This tragic, heart-wrenching incident has caused a great deal of anguish for family, kinfolk and those who knew them, but also to many who find murder by a parent to be among the cruellest of tragedies," he said.
"As people seek to come to terms with what has happened, they should be careful not to victim-blame.
"We do not know the reasons Damien did what he appears to have done and speculating helps neither the family nor the people of Port Lincoln."
Hundreds of tributes have been left to the children on social media. Locals have also placed flowers and teddy bears on the edge of the wharf. The victims’ distraught family has asked media to respect their privacy.

Aside the seven years imprisonment, Justice Jose also made an order that the EFCC should trace his properties and sell them and give the proceeds to Adesoye Holdings Limited.
Money: Nigerian University dropout becomes a stockbroker after using his student loan to start trading & now earns £30,000 on a bad month
Elijah Oyefeso, 21, trades on the stock market for just one hour a day to earn his income. Elijah, from Camberwell, south London, who likes to show his wealth on Instagram (inset) now lives in a £5,000 flat, buys expensive cars like the £150,000 Lamborghini he had sprayed gold (left), and likes to buy watches including a £21,000 Cartier watch that he's worn twice.

He said: 'If you work hard you don't need to look at the price tag, you just get it.'
Elijah claims he bought his first Mercedes aged 18 but soon faced jealousy from his peers in the south London neighbourhood after his success.
He said: 'They've come from the same area and they're still in the same area and went to school in the same area.
'My mum came from west Africa and came with probably £100 in her pocket.'
Elijah went to the University of Buckingham to study business management but put his student loan to good use.
He said: 'I used my student loan during university and I thought "I could actually do this".
Elijah dropped out of university and started investing in the stock market with the cash sum. Within nine months, he claimed he was making tens of thousands of pounds.
He claims his income on a 'bad month' will be between £20,000 and £30,000 but added: 'On a good month, I don't think I can tell you that.'
Elijah, who featured in Channel 4's Rich Kids Go Shopping on Channel 4, was filmed as he traded online, making £1,000 in just 15 minutes.
'I've been trading for three years, I know when to stop,' he said.
The most he's lost in one go is nearly £10,000. 'When you lose it, you get back up. If you lose 12 times, you get back up 12 times.
'You want to leave a name when you're gone. Think about JP Morgan, the assets are worth 2.6 trillion. So that's a lot.'
Elijah, who listens to classical music while trading, said: 'There's a saying, you are who you chill with. I chill with people who have half a million in the bank.
'Earning £20 to £30,000 a month, in my world that's not good. It motivates you to do more.'
Elijah pays £5,000 a month on his flat in Kensington, a stone's throw from department store Harrods.
His main expense is cars and when he was aged 20, he made sure he, literally, had one of London's flashiest cars by paying £150,000 on a Lambourghini and painting it gold.
