Sometimes in the self-discovery that allows for personal growth and acceptance, it is equally important to recall a moment where we know we were loved ... recalling it provides the "balance" that is needed in our lives and promotes the healing of our hearts.
As a chubby 13 or 14-year-old, finding stylish clothes that fit was a daunting task. One day, my mother told my father, "...10 Recommendations23 Comments -
This forest is awesome. It is cool and a little dark where we walk - the sun filters through above - it is magical.
The trees wrapping around one another as they grow. I would like to live in this forest. I could use SOMETHING wrapping around me:)
It's a little like a wonderland - I expect pixies to leap out at any point - Heinze loves it too. I wish the deer...2 Recommendations10 Comments -
Monday Morning; "The Start of a New Life"
Well......all is done. Mom's funeral, burial, her bills are paid, furniture moved out, etc. Now begins my new life. I'll never forget mom, or my dad (he died in 1982), but mom's death made a change in me. I'm going to treat myself, Margaret and others better. (Not that I've ever been hurtful to anyone) I joined a gym...3 Recommendations12 Comments -

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...3 Recommendations3 Comments

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....6 Recommendations27 Comments

Easter Cats
So, I have this really gorgeous flame point himalayan (that would be a cat for those of you who are not ailurophiles, aka cat lovers) and I had this great (ok, stupid) idea to dress him up as an Easter Bunny to take a picture and post on here for all my DS friends. I mean what could be cuter than a cat dressed up as a bunny? hmmm, the first thing that comes to mind wo...5 Recommendations26 Comments -
