  • Re-calibrated :)

    Saturday, April 12, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    Ahhhhhhh... Went out yesterday after BPradio to the bar down the road from my sis's house (which I WALKED to thank you very much:)) and got pretty buzzed. The walk to the bar gave me lots of contemplative time.  The big surprise about the bar was that I walked in and immediately I got my hand shook by every guy in the bar. I ended sitting next to a guy who calls himself Vegas Bud an...

  • MY WORLD (poem dedicated to my love who is no longer my love)

    Friday, November 7, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    Why does life hate me?
    There is so much more to see, to love.
    I can not do everything right,
    when I do, it ends up wrong.
    My world doesn't seem to matter anymore.
    Give me a world where I can love,
    Please never take it from me.
    Never use my heart against me, Never hate me.
    I can be beautiful too!
    Let me show you how I can be beautiful.
    My love runs so deep and so strong,
    it is true until the end of time.

  • Because my life sucks

    Saturday, January 17, 2009 | An Inspiring story

    I found this on the internet. I had accidentally stumbled across it (if you know what the stumble button is you know it's highly addictive) and as I read it it echoed thoughts I had had before. I'll let you read the first third or so of the article which follows:
    "
    My Great Grandmother was born in 1904 and immigrated to America with her family shortly thereafter. When she turned 12, he...

  • People you meet in life

    Saturday, March 28, 2009 | An Inspiring story

    At this point, it feels like the most important person in my life is my HR director at my work.  She is a Psychologist and Anthropologist, and she has become in a way a sort of mentor for me. The woman to whom I moved to this town and I are attempting to remain friends, however my nature of sharing my observations of someone (even just to help) has only alienated her from me more.  This...

  • This is the Day That the Lord Has Made!

    Monday, April 27, 2009 | An Inspiring story

    So, as many of you know, I was baptised at Westside Church of Christ yesterday!
    I wasn't sure it was going to happen, but on Sunday, the 26 April, I was re-born with an identity and life in Christ.  I was very nervous, of course, considering I had to go up in front of the entire congregation (around 450 people), and profess my commitment.  The pastor, Bobby, who I just love and admir...

  • 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...

  • My cup is overflowing

    Monday, November 23, 2009 | An Inspiring story

    I have been meditating every day for the last week, and I have been finding so much out about myself through counseling and by using DS as a form of therapy.
    I am begining to discover just how much I love the person who I am and the person that I am becoming.
    Yesterday a friend on DS told me that I had really helped her and she wanted me to know it, this was a really humbling feeling for me as I th...
