  • My Music

    Wednesday, April 2, 2008

    I'd like to talk a little bit about how music has affected my life. Music lets me escape my reality and enter a world where I am loved and the world is a beautiful place. I am taken away by my music and feel the love the person singing a love song must have felt while writing the song. I don't just hear music, I feel it, for me it is an emotional experience. Not just with certain songs bu...

    Saturday, May 9, 2009

    I just want to let you all know that I have been on DS for almost two years now.  When I first joined, I had recently been discharged from a two week stay at Two Rivers Psychiatric Hospital.  I have come a long way and thanks to Daily Strength, I was able to grow, learn, and share.  Knowing my triggers and Using Affirmations and Cognitive Therapy has been a big help in my recovery....

  • My incredible journey!

    Friday, June 6, 2008

    To some of you this may not seem incredible, but for some like me it has made me a true believer in my heavenly father,  not that I wasn't already.  I believe that God presented me with this journey at a time in my life where I felt as though I was in a very deep dark place.
    Twenty three years ago I married a man 15 years my senior, he was good to me for the fisrt 12 years of that ma...

  • inspirational poem

    Monday, July 27, 2009


    I know that I understand, how little they really know.
    And that look of pity on their face, will always show.
    They can't look past and get to know, the person deep inside.
    They never see the real me, the part this chair can't hide.
    I want them to know I have a mind, I am capable of love.
    I have lots of hopes and desires, and things I dream of. 
    I know my legs may be useless, I may travel b...

  • Old Smart Dog

    Friday, August 8, 2008 | A Funny story

    An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard; I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of.
    He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.
    An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.
    The next day he was back, greet...
