On the 10th. day of Christmas a Jamaican gives to you – Integrity!

It’s been a tough year for many of us and although the economy has shrunk and many businesses have closed their doors, my small business Strokes & Slants on the other hand has increased tenfold.

Because   fraud has increased tremendously. 

The biggest scam artist of all  being  Bernie Madoff.

.

While most of  my cases  are not of the magnitude of Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi Scheme there has been enough work to keep my company afloat.  Many do not realize how a signature or a change of a letter can alter a person’s integrity.

.

Over the past year I have looked at dozens of documents,  Wills have been altered, pages added ,  signatures forged, checks with changed numbers, documents tampered with and land transfer claims distorted. An extra zero  here , an initial or signature in dispute  –  Families divided and trust is  completely lost.

I work hard at providing a good service,  and quiet recently while out shopping I found at the bottom of my shopping cart an Angel card with the word “Integrity” .

.

I took the card home with me and it has been sitting on my coffee table ever since.  I felt this word spoke to me – because during these hard times it is so easy for anyone of us to pick something that doesn’t belong to us, change something that you may feel may not be noticed.  Your inner voice should tell you to step outside of your conscious self and do the right thing.

.

I sit over these documents with magnifying glasses and micscropes  examining and diciphing  each letter and symbol to be sure that my opinion is correct,  because attached to my opinion someone’s life will change forever.  They will either loose the contents of the will that they thought was so clearly in their sight or may even end up in jail for fraud.

.

I once told a potential   client who could not afford to hire me – It’s not whether you can afford to use me but whether you can afford to lose what’s in the will if you don’t use me?”

Your inner voice should be whispering to you to STOP because when you get caught it is a stain on your character that is not easily erased which will have a lasting effect on your career and your personal life.

.

  • Integrity – is never second guessing yourself of who you really are. 
  •  Integrity is honoring your word and holding tight to what is right. 
  • A gift that we must value every single day because better days are ahead for sure.
  • Tough times do not last forever only tough people with Integrity!!
