  • To Patagonia and back...

    Tuesday, March 18, 2008 | A Positive story

    I'm back! Phew. In the last week, I've spent 48 hours on 6 separate planes, 10 hours in buses, and 5 days of unbelievably spectacular hiking throught he Patagonian Andes. Wow. That is one short, intense vacation.
    We left LA, flew to Atlanta, ran onto a flight to Santiago, Chile, and then ran again 9 hours later to a flight to Punta Arenas, which is about the last major city you can fly to ...

    Just days from my departure to another state.Specifically,I am headed from Buffalo,NY to North Carolina.This move is intended as a move to start a new life.This isn't in an effort to run from anything or anyone.The saying that "Wherever You Go,You Take You With You" holds a lot of water and I am a firm believer of it.I did have plans to join up with the lady that I was attached to s...

  • I'm actually at Pat's house

    Saturday, June 7, 2008

    I'm at Pat's house and it is nearly 5 in the AM. while we are not getting much sleep, at least I am not freaking out as I had a couple of days ago. I am much more optimistic about our being able to live together and love being with Pat as his girlfriend rather than as one of his caregivers.

  • self inflicted

    Friday, August 1, 2008 | A Positive story

    OK so I was reading my old journal posts. I’ve been reflecting a lot lately. And I realized how when I first started stuff in the past I would be so excited about it and then I would let things slip. I know I had a lot on my plate and things where hard for me. But it amazes me how far I’ve come from the girl I was then and the person I am today. I am not the same person I was then. ...

  • Shaken but not stirred

    Tuesday, October 28, 2008 | A Positive story

    Today I thought my calm was in danger for a while.
    One of my friends stopped talking to me for a while and I realised I may have said something that could have been taken the wrong way.
    The thing is when you know that what you did was not intentional and you know your friendship is strong the calm does not leave you.

  • A revelation

    Sunday, December 21, 2008

    As I've written before, my ex has a drinking problem. He was both physically and mentally abusive at times. The mental abuse occured most often out of the two.
    Today at church, Pastor was talking about joy, internal joy, even when things are bad you can still have joy with enough courage. He went on to talk about how some people want to take that away or how we are sometimes codependant on th...

  • My story, why i hated myself and my road to recovery

    Wednesday, July 15, 2009 | A Positive story

     
    There are things in our life that we truely cant stand and we hate it so much, we cant even look at it. But what if the one that you dont want to see is your self, your appearance and personality? That is exactly what is happening to me.  And this is my chance to spit it out, to vent it like a machine gun destroying everything on its path.
    Eversince as a young kid. Alot of people have t...

    "Positive vibrations, YEAH, POSITIVE! That's what we got to give!"---B. Marley
    I have managed to accomplish two major things! Wolfie and I got all the packed boxes off to UPS store yesterday. I had to creatively hunt down someone who would do it since the UPS people screwed up TWICE. I brainstormed on Friday. I was thinking "haul", we need someone willing to "haul"...
