  • Okay, just call me "THE BITCH".  I had a long talk with “it” today and threatened him big time.  I had previously told him that come the first of May if he hadn’t made an attempt to repay me the money he “borrowed” while I was so sick and I didn’t know what day it was, I would take action and sue his ass for Theft By Deception, Neglect and s...

  • Think Pink!

    Tuesday, July 8, 2008 | A Positive story

    I dyed the front part of my hair pink last week.  I visited a friend in KY last month and I dyed her hair purple for her.  I could not talk her into pink...but I did do the purple.  It looked pretty cool but I still wanted it to be pink so...
    I WENT PINK!  I think it suits and now my head matches my mood; perky and girly. 
    My field of flowers is in in full bloom now too an...

  • R&R

    Thursday, July 24, 2008

    I'm hitting the road in the morning and plan to be gone for at least two weeks.  First stop - Memphis then on to my property in Arkansas.  I'm hoping to enjoy the woods, get some fresh air, make some improvements then head out to see family.
    So, if you don't hear from me, I shall return.  I desperately need some R&R away from "it".  And since he doesn&...

  • so is that all there is my friend?

    Sunday, August 31, 2008 | A Positive story

    All there is. Three powerful words. I think too often we don't see what we have and feel that there has to be something better, maybe so. But I am going to try being happy today at least for what i do have.  Not much more to say, accept thinking positively does work. It ain't always easy, but it is doable with belief in people, yourself and the vastness and beauty of the Universe.&nb...

  • Hard times...regular folks are amazing

    Thursday, September 18, 2008 | A Positive story

    As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess!  I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok.  When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...

  • Woke up Smiling! :)

    Sunday, November 2, 2008 | A Positive story

      It was so nice to wake up smiling today!  I woke up to the end of a dream with my Mom in it.  She was in the hospital in this dream and she looked so happy and healthy.  In the dream she was holding my nephew that was born 2 months and 10 days after she passed.  She had such a loving smile on her face, that it brought me such comfort.  It was like she was so thrill...

  • New Life

    Wednesday, January 7, 2009

    For the first time in a long time, I have a wonderful update.  The house we’ve been looking at and thought we lost to another buyer fell back into our laps this morning.  As of 5:00 PM EST, it will be a done deal and I will have a place of my own.  I don’t know whether to laugh or cry but I’m excited to see something good happen and my life beginning to turn aroun...

  • southern song in the air

    Wednesday, February 18, 2009

    every time i tried to go home, the tall slender  woman with beautiffi; dark skin  and her wide  smile would look at me with a charm in her eyes, i would wait, walk back in forth in that little glass room, stareing out the window to the world i was thinking of leaving. i  saw people all moveing to the same song, music, filled the air, no one in pain, they worked,to th...

  • Bigger Baby Steps

    Saturday, November 14, 2009 | A Positive story

     
    This week had it's up and downs for me, but I got through it with the help of family and friends.  Had a setback a couple weeks ago that really knocked me down mentally and I had to end the situation, the best way I could, with the help of someone on this site.  I realized I couldn't continue, for now, going to this support group where I really felt uncomfortable.  I ...
