Sitting down with Phil Part 1: Is my value in a risky market?

Nic and I were married in 2005 we were young and blessed to be able to get a loan and buy a house.  For the amount we paid for it, it was the perfect home.  We had my step son, who was five part time and our rooms were huge for us as we were just starting out in the world.  Flash forward to 2007 the housing market crashed and our little house was still big enough for us but we were pregnant and wanted to move to a bigger house.  The problem was our house lost over fifty percent of its value, so in 2008 we had our first little girl and went from part time parents of one to full time parents of two.  Our little house that was such a blessing a few years before and such a steal was now a trap that we couldn’t get out of.  We were stuck here and for a girl who didn’t like to be trapped I felt trapped.

Hi my name is Cassie I am a Chronic People Pleaser

Chronic People Pleaser related to post anxiety disapproval disorder. So I like variety, I love hanging out with different people and I hear a lot of really cool ideas, environments and events happening all around me.  It is easy to become e overwhelmed in my schedule if I say yes to everything around me.  There are some amazingly cool things, but they are not God’s for my life .  Now I know this, its easy to type, but wow is it hard to do.  I don’t like saying no and I blame my mother, (I gotta blame someone)  “Did you just say no to me?”  or “Excuse me I brought you into this world and I can take you out.”  Now my mother is 5’2 but I swear she could take a six foot seven marine down if she got mad enough.  She is a little scary, and I learned to never tell her no through sitting in the corner, or my bottom being a little red.   Chronic People Pleaser I am a nurse and although I don’t ever diagnose patient’s, I do diagnose myself alot and systems.  I am a chronic people please
