Trying to Walk (part 6)
Holding this prescription in my hands was so exciting for me!!! Validation at last! I am a mess! (hahaa) I now have a reason for all of the crazy thoughts and anger and for wanting it all to end. Relief was in sight…. I held on to that paper for a bit. All of a…

The Meds…(Part 5)
Happiness? What is it that makes us happy? When one spends so much time trying to fit in and live the life of status quo, it’s a hard question to answer. Do you know what makes you happy? Was your immediate response “well, my life with Jesus makes me happy.” That’s usually the answer I…

Who’s to Blame? (The Silent Scream, P4)
Is it okay to be angry at God? I think so. He created us, and understands anger. Is it acceptable to blame God for all of our problems? Is He the one to blame? Many people believe so. The world is full of anger and rage against God. He gets blamed for the natural disasters,…

The Silent Scream (part 2)

Love Revolution
“Have you had your hug today?” This was a question I heard for years, when I used to go to work as a flight attendant. I looked forward to seeing this co-worker. I didn’t get hugs in my daily life, and craved contact with another human being. Those hugs were like therapy. I could feel…

Conscious Living
I was watching my husband do something silly the other day…this occurs a lot in our home (yes)…and asked him a question, “Do you ever experience self-awareness, and stop to contemplate what it is you’re really doing?” We laughed about it, chatted for a few more minutes, and then proceeded to go on our separate…

Falling Leaves
The other day I was having a conversation with someone whom I love dearly. They are tired and worn out. Too much to do, not enough time for rest and meditation. Too many things on their mind, too many choices to make…all of this wipes a person out. I know how it feels, as I…
