Keidra was so excited. She had been accepted by the University of her choice. Even more excited were Keidra's parents. They had been paying money into a good safe investment college fund for sixteen years. Time to liquidate part of the money as Keidra was headed to school to become a lawyer.
Keidra's parents had been very meticulous about funding and keeping track of her future as an attorney. When the statements came to their mail box they were immediately opened and scrutinized. Keidra had been present for this family tradition from the time she was ten years old.
She and her parents planned a special dinner the night the first check was to be sent to the admissions office of the University. Keidra had envisioned herself walking across the stage with that final degree of accomplishment in her hand. She had envisioned as well the victory in passing the bar exam. Her life would be great with her dream becoming a reality.
What Keidra and her parents didn't know was that Keidra's identity had been stolen along with theirs. It was 10:00 AM, a hot muggy summer day when Keidra and her parents received the phone call from the University Staff. The check for Keidra's first semester had bounced. How could this be?
Keidra's family went into panic mode. Her parents checked their financials only to find that the majority of their money gone. They were good stewards of their money. They had worked and saved and invested with wisdom.
What they had not done was listen when there was a news report on the media about Identity Theft because it could never happen to them. Those poor souls that experienced such trauma were out there in the busyness of life.
Starting with the phone call from the University, Keidra and her family entered into a nightmare of hell that had been carefully planned and executed. Their Identity had been stolen and sold to only God knows how many people.
Their hope turned into hopelessness. Their life of happiness turned into a life of stressfulness and dark depression. The family unit was damaged to the point of seeking therapy. They could get very little help from anyone in law enforcement. Keidra's vision of becoming an attorney soon became the reality of being a waitress at a nearby diner.
Identity Theft is the fastest growing crime in the world. It takes years and many times a lifetime to recover. The key factor in Identity Theft is to hold on to hope. Anyone can start over regardless of age, stage, or condition. If we give up our hope, we allow The Phantoms Of Darkness to control our lives.
Is this what we really want to do? Live in the dark world of Phantoms? Envision your hope as a peaceful light of love around your world and allow that love to lead guide and direct you to a new and more productive life. You can do it! Learn how to recover and protect yourself. It just takes becoming aware.
