  • Update on my progress to reach my goals

    Sunday, May 25, 2008 | A Positive story

    I officially passed my driving test on May 20th of this year and that is much of my goal.  The rest is moving,  getting transpotation,  a job,  and starting over with paying old bills - a fresh start with a new life on my own.  I have every hope and will do the rest of what I have to making sure that if anything happens I will be taken care of and will be able to leave my...

  • Things are slowly falling into place!

    Saturday, June 7, 2008 | A Positive story

    Well someone called about one of the things that I have for sale and I am happy.  I'll probably have to run the add for 3 more days - should have done that in the first place.  I am going to hand a huge sign on my Handicapped Parking sign annoucing a moving sale,  etc.  A lot of people drive by and hopefully someone will stop in and see what I have to sell.  ...

  • Great Book

    Friday, September 19, 2008 | A Positive story

    Since I have decided to write my book about Rape, I have read through a lot of different books on the topic. Some were merely statistics, while others were stories from survivors. When I mentioned to my counsellor that I was interested in the topic for a book, she recommended some resources for me. I looked and looked for one of the books, but could never find it. This week I caved and bought it....

  • I'm finally out of the hospital and hopefully mending,

    Tuesday, September 23, 2008 | A Positive story

    Well I'm home from my second home and not as scared as I was because it's making me more scared to go into the hospital.  Every time I go in there I don't know what's going to happen next!!  I'm definately not going to the same doctor again.  2 times he almost did me in because of his incompitence and it's over.  He took the foley out for six hours the ...

  • Feeling better today and I hope it continues!!!

    Wednesday, September 24, 2008 | A Positive story

    Well I had the morphine pump filled today and I am still sore but not as bad as last night.  I have some stuff going on but I finally got off my duff around 5:00 today.  I really felt like sleeping more than going to the doc.  I am so excited about getting the PerMobile and the SUV.  It is proving hard to save the money for the SUV but I will do it.  I have to buy ea...

  • A little better each day

    Thursday, October 2, 2008 | A Positive story

    With each neb treatment and each steamy shower I am getting a little better each day.  The coughing fits are pretty much gone and I am slowly getting better WITHOUT being in the hospital.  I think my lung doc it probably going to be mad at me because if he hears anything in my lungs he throws me in the hospital and 1 month in that place along with almost dying and  picking up an ad...

  • I have made some new friends on DS.  I decided to check into all the physical problems that I have listed for me a found a large array of people in different kinds of situations.  One is a nurse,  one is a woman who lost her son at the age of 2 from Addison's (remember God only takes the good people and sometimes they are too young to speak for themselves),  one is having ...

    Wednesday, April 29, 2009 | A Positive story

    I am back at home. NO more school. At least not until September. I don't think I can even begin to communicate how happy I am to be out of there. No more cranky, catty girls to deal with. I am looking for a job now. I have one for July/August, but not for May/June. I applied to a bunch of volunteer places and I'm excited about hearing back from them. The one I am most excited about is Big...

  • Big Step

    Tuesday, September 15, 2009 | A Positive story

    I took the big step today. I set up a sexual assault awareness session on my campus. I know it'll out me as a survivor, but I am hoping that by doing it, I can help other's avoid what I went through. It's scary as hell, but also exciting. I get to share my story with people in the hopes that it will not get repeated in their lives. I am terrified and nervous and the time isn't her...

  • impressions..

    Sunday, October 18, 2009 | A Positive story

    Each day our subconscious is bombarded with thousands of impressions - both positive and negative. They come from the outsides as well as from within. Impressions flow in a constant stream, oftentimes uninvited. But the kinds of impressions admitted to our minds defines the scope of our lives.
    When a high truth and a pleasing thought sink into your mind and heart, you no longer suffer the penalty ...
