Security

This week, I am designing a solid foundation.

Each morning, we wake up in our safe shelter.

Our screens fill with images of those who have none.

Some of us are born with a guaranteed future of stability.

Many have all the support needed to build our own home.

Until we are homeless, we have no real understanding.

When I was evicted, I landed with a mid-levels friend.

My lifestyle was upgraded due to my circumstances.

A soft place to land is a treat in a time of great stress.

Rural women around the world live with real limits.

Our worth is counted as the property of men in our life.

Authority and security blend into a reliance on the other.

Building on this tenuous beginning requires persistence.

It's too easy to take for granted the roof over our head.

This struggle is a chronic virus in the operating system.

Building on shifting sands requires digging deep.

We need a hand to hold and a shoulder to lean on.

Learning how to ask for help takes practice.

Watch this space for a new sales launch.

It's time to shift into commercial speed.

After 20 years of prep, Hong Kong is ready.

Do you value our security?

Naturally,

Founder
