Trichotillomania has been my deepest and darkest secret for almost 40 years. I think that I have finally found a group of people who will totally understand what I have been going through. I started pulling my eye brows and eye lashes at about age 14. I can remember not having any eye lashes as a teenager. Today, I have most of my eye lashes, but...1 Recommendation

Lately I have been jogging/running on my breaks from taking care of the disabled woman I care for, here on the North side of chicago. The way I feel afterwards is amazing! I really love doing something for my body in a positive way, and am very determined to keep it up. I am personally very disgusted in myself physically... and have exercised in the past. I just gave up, but realize i must remain...1 Recommendation1 Comment

Still I Rise by Maya Angelou
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

A Borrowed Poem "A Strong Woman..."
Wednesday, August 13, 2008 |
A strong woman versus a woman of strength
A strong woman works out every day
to keep her body in shape
but a woman of strength looks deep inside
to keep her soul in shape
A strong woman isn't afraid
of anything
but a woman of strength shows courage
in the midst of her fear
A strong woman won't let anyone
get the best of her
but a woman of strength gives the best
of her to everyone
A strong woman ...1 Recommendation6 Comments -

"The Hole"
It is deep,
it is sharp,
it was a shattered
piece of my heart!
It's been there,
it's tore apart,
strewn about
right from the start.
Who knows why,
Oh! does it show?
Cuz it began
so long ago.
When it took
it's first blow,
that flung it about
to and fro.
It finally gave in,
the pressure built up,
the pain it did boil
and it did erupt!
It will move on,
will be patched up.
I know this now,

Trouble arrives in measures,and we stack it up real high,
until we're convinced,we have no reason to try.
If you feel defeated, you're absolutely wrong,
for if you follow your dream, you could never lose for long.

Here's the poem I was finally able to write for my dad.
With a stern voice
And a heart of gold
You were the best dad ever
Soft, yet bold.
Someone I could go to
In times of dispair
No matter whatever happened
You were always right there,
To show love & support
As high as the sky
Then remind me you're watching me
By pointing at your eye.
I'll never forget
The good times we had
At the track, or a...1 Recommendation5 Comments -

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns

Chapter 3 Shootin’ Fish in a Barrel
The fall of 1989 the Berlin Wall came down, and I picked up a fishing rod again for the first time in 9 years – what I hoped would mark two remarkable events in my lifetime. That September morning I woke up with a craving to get out of Northern Virginia. I grabbed my boyfriend,...1 Recommendation4 Comments -

These marks I make
Pace my life
The years I had
And those to come
Now are all done
I'm here to say
Good- bye
I am so sorry
For all the pain
I've put you through
But Nothing lasts forever
So, my final prayer
Is a simple wish
That you forgive me1 Recommendation3 Comments
