About Me
Over fifty and fLabulous LOL. Comfortable in my own skin and grateful for everyday God gives me!! Facing adversity since a child I have learned the value of appreciation for the small things and value humility above all qualities. I am not so smug as to think I am the only one in the world with a boo boo.

Interests
My Christian faith walk, my friends here at DS, my neighbors friends and dysfunctional family. I like to paint, to cook for family and friends, and sewing. Eckhart Tolle, Maeve Binchy, Joyce Meyer and Sarah Bann Breathnach are a few faves of mine that I take time to read. I am not fearful of solitude and have become freinds with my times alone. Do not be afraid and just do it are things I constantly tell myself. And I am a terrible speller lol.

Close Physical & Emotional Abuse
Greetings. I went and posted before joining, I hope my faux pas is forgiven. In the past three years my husband's anger management has decreased and his verbal and emotional abuse has increased. It has been a challenge for me to say the least.
Treatments
- Art Working / Worked
- Art is something I do for myself by myself, but the art comes from God's grace and blessing which reminds me of the bigger picture of life itself. I'm just glad to have a hobby,something I never had time for while raising my children, all now grown with children of their own.
- Forgiveness Working / Worked
- I forgive but don't forget. I learn and remain alert and aware of my own behaviors and actions. I no longer react. I forgive myself for not being perfect and for being sad at being rejected ignored or yelled at. Forgiving myself first, forgiving him second. None of us are perfect, but that doesn't excuse abusive behavior for certain.
- Music Working / Worked
- Music is always a great way of soothing my sad moments, but so is silence and just listening to the wind rustle the grass and move through the branches of the trees.
- Talking Working / Worked
- I talk a lot, to anyone who will listen, the draw back of talking to some family members was they were very judgemental and more trouble than help so I stopped talking to the ones that were more trouble than help. I journal and talk to only people I know I can trust. I talk to God more now too, and no He doesn't actually talk back, but if I listen and be aware and alert I will be more in tune to God's will for my life which doesn't include putting myself in harm's way.
Close Healthy Relationships
I feel it important to be alert to our relationships and make every effort to be a positive addition to all of them.
Treatments
- Patience Working / Worked
- Patience as in waiting things out, giving time to situations to heal or end, keeping in mind this too shall pass.
- Talking Working / Worked
- We have a right to express our feelings and perspective in a dignified and respectful way, and to be listened to in the same manner.
- Writing Working / Worked
- Journalling is a great way to talk without offending anyone and adding clarity to cloudy situations.
Open Financial Challenges
Allowed family to persuade me to spend what I didn't have, but that was years ago, I don't do that anymore and have peace, financially and personally.
Treatments
- Budgeting Working / Worked
- I am known as cheap, and I don't care. Better frugal than broke and in debt.
- Cut Up Credit Cards Working / Worked
- You have them you use them it never works out any different.
- Debt Consolidation Working / Worked
- We did it and it worked, only because we didn't go back into debt again.
- Earn Money Working / Worked
- Earn money by saving money every where possible, that is what I do.
- Filing for Bankruptcy Not Working
- Thankfully I have never had to go that route.
- Holding a Garage Sale Not Working
- What a waste of time, at least for me, I will never do it again.
Open Families & Friends Of Addicts
My adult child has relapsed and losing everything to their habit.
Treatments
Open The Financial Crisis
Currently watching prices go up and our financial worth go down.
Open DailyStrength Members Community

Open Bullying
