Loves Makes You STRONG

Sometimes distractions come into your life to throw you off purpose. Yesterday was one of those days for me. But the distractions did not win, because now I'm back and stronger than ever.

For the first week of August I faced many small battles. I had to stand up against unjust and unlawful treatment by a landlord. A landlord was very unprofessional and intimidating toward a loved one of mine. This loved one was literally afraid to run into the landlord. No one should have to live in fear to someone they pay rent too. I must admit this got me pretty ticked off! This landlord (though a human being with flaws) needed a lesson in how to treat tenants. I told my loved one that even landlords have someone over them and must follow laws. I took her case all the way to the corporate office and the Department of Fair Housing. By the end of the week victory was ours, as the landlord verbally apologized for his behavior. If you rent then know your rights. Landlords can't just treat you any kind of way. And even if there is no illegal wrong doing you can always go on the Internet and give the property management a bad rating. No one will want to rent from them if they are aware of how a current tenant has been mistreated.

Yes! I'm still focused on creating more love in the world. However, I want people to know that just because a person is kind, does not mean they sit by and let injustice happen. No, but to the contrary, it is love that will give you the strength to fight against wrong doing and take a stand for what's right. Okay! so maybe it wasn't my fight but I can't stand for people to be bullied and the protester side of me came out. I had to show someone I love that you can be loving and powerful at the same time- there is no dichotomy here. In the end everything worked out peacefully but I just had to blog about this.
