Posts Just For You- This Week at ActiveRain March 5 to March 11, 2023

  

Every day there is something to learn here at ActiveRain.  With this series, I try to highlight posts that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, something about Real Estate or other professions, about a place, or about a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

 

Nina March 6: Nina Hollander Marching to a Solution: Breaking Through Those Prison Walls

How many situations have come up like this? This one took the persistence of Nina as well as help from a U.S.Senator.

 

Liz and BillMarch 7: Liz & Bill Spear Ask An Ambassador: How Do I Get Help Around This Place?

Bill's post deserves more exposure just in case you missed it. It's not as easy knowing where to go for answers as it used to be but his tips are spot on.

We've all had to reset from time to time. Let's head to Ed's post and if you can offer support.

HannahHannah Williams Do I Need An Attorney to Buy a Home?

This story is a heartbreaker. Hannah did everything she could.

 

EndreMarch 11: Endre Barath, Jr. Notarizing a Grant Deed-no big deal, right?

Great story from Endre and it's a reminder of where there's a will, there's a way.

Chef Dolores is still using her walker but is able to do more in the kitchen and around the house. Recovery after hip replacement surgery can be a slow process.
