Just read your blog about living right on the wrong side of town…excellent! It reminded me of when my boyfriend (now my husband for the last 36 years) and I first started out…poor, living in rentals we painted and improved, in dicey neighborhoods….but happy and connected to our environment, our fellow humans, and the seasons in a way we do not in our comfortable, middle class suburban home. I think their are fewer “walls” between folks when we are not quite as comfortable and complacent….when we need each other….
Again, excellent article, Corbyn!

Corbyn , I don,t know if this is the same article I read in the ‘Now Magazine ” are not . After reading the article I started following your life , as well as what is going on with your family . Hang in there girl things will change for the better . I also read your article on ” loving the dumpster ” . If I was going to pick a dumpster to pick my organic items out of it would be Trader Joe,s . Pray for you and your family ever day while I am going to work . I also wrote the editor of ” Now Magazine” a stinging email about something she wrote in about old people . I just hope she lives to be old herself . Take Care John
