Homeless, But Not Hopeless

Some people are worth paying attention to, and I find Brianna Karp to be one of those people.

After loosing her job in 2008, the 23-year old sold her furniture and piano, and moved back with her parents. When that did not work out, she moved in to an old trailer, and parked it in a Walmart parking lot. She has since blogged about her life as homeless, struggling to get by day by day, all while trying to get back in the work force and make a life for herself.  Her blog has landed her a book deal; "The Girl's Guide To Homelessness".
