I am relentlessly in pursuit of my best life and hope through these social media opportunities that we can help each other rise up from the ashes
Overflow
This overflow of gut wrenching pain and chaos in my center confounds me confuses me contaminates me.
From where does it come? What, where is the source?
It enfolds me, encompassing me in traps me.
Anger. Fear. Guilt.
Panicked and confused, scared and I don’t know what to do, where to go
Silent screams
Silent tears
Silent No
Silence me
Overflow
The Fox and The Hound
What’s your favorite cartoon?
I’ve watched this so many times over the years. When I was a child in the late seventies and early eighties, I had the vinyl with the picture on it. I listened to it, I watched it and I loved it. It was the taking in of a lost baby fox without its mother that stole my devotion. Later as a teenager I would adopt a foal that’s mother had died after birth. I raised that foal as a mother. He would suckle on my fingers. Come when I called. As a day or two day old foal, it was February and my dad put newspaper all over my bedroom and let the baby stay on my room. I woke up every couple hours with a velvet muzzle and a little nicker in my face. So I think the movie prepared me for the raising and loving and heartache of raising an animal as a human
I gave my testimony in front of my church
I was pretty nervous. My method of staying calm was by looking up towards the back of the congregation and sweeping my eyes across the room, smiling as I spoke and having written really good notes to go by! I was 15 years old.
Horse Back Riding
I haven’t rode a horse in years but it is my very favorite physical activity. To sit on that magnificent beast, to be in line with it, to move with it, exhilarating!!
Taking A Chance
I greatly admire a person that will take a chance, possibly a mistake, and do what their heart tells them.
Quit a job that is unfulfilling, break up with that person that is convenient, comfortable or maybe even mean, move to a new town or country! I admire a simple person set out to do something new and exciting, maybe even scary.
Taking a chance or risk. For themselves. Admirable!

What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?
I see wild animals……
In Arlington Texas, at Veridian Park, I walked side by side with a little bob tailed cat. only he was larger than any house cat I have ever seen! Of course I see beautiful birds and I hear their sweet songs. Squirrels come by my yard for corn treats. I snapped the photo of the turtle in Hawaii!
Loving You
You are Wonderous and Marvelous. My Creator, my Father, my Healer, my Comforter. You are the smile on my face when I walk in hard times and the Joy in my heart when I don’t see an answer. You are my very best Friend. I love you
I met you at a young age. I had an encounter with you that completely changed my life. You came to me. You spoke directly to me as a little girl. In my parents’ room. You told me you loved me and that you would not leave me nor forsake me and that you would protect me and lead me as a Shephard leads his precious flock. I belong to you. I love you.
Precious Redeemer, never stop teaching me. Open my eyes to your truth. Keep me from disobedience. That I may please you and always be a pleasing aroma to you. That I sacrifice my fleshly desires and carry my cross. Create in me a loyal heart. A tender heart for you. So that I may tell the peoples of all you have done for me and how much you love them.
When I do not know the answers Father, I ask you to still me. Quiet my mind, be still my heart and as I wait with patient endurance, I call to remembrance all the good things that you have done for me and my countenance is lifted. I know that no good thing will you withhold from me. That you will perfect all that concerns me. I give you my thanks, my love and my fidelity. Oh how I love you!!
I would like to change the fact that on a deep level, I haven’t loved myself.
I would like to look in the mirror and not listen to the negative dialogue I hear within, I am actively on this trend, loving myself. I don’t want the readers to feel pity or think I am actively disliking myself. I am on the road. I am taking the purposeful time to change my inner voice, to say positive and loving things about myself, to myself. I am created in Gods image, marvelously created. I love God, so why has it taken me so long to really learn the art of giving myself a break, not comparing myself to others, I mean, God decided how I would look on purpose and it is a lie from the pits of hell that I should alter myself so I can look like someone else to be happy or prettier. That is what I would like to change, the idea that I should change something about myself just to fit in.
