Check on each other

A lady told me a story. She said someone passed away and the church was packed with people. The man was a good man but had fallen on tough times. At the church, she thought, "if each person in the building had checked on the man and had just given one dollar...the man would have been in a different state of mind." From this I thought about how people are hurting, in pain, and depressed but surrounded by people who love them. So, I am going to check on random people and close people this week...yes, I said this week...I will take it one week at a time:) I challenge you..... Call someone ...not to gossip but to ask...."HOW ARE YOU?" and really mean it!

A New Year!

Happy New Year to all of you! I hope you all are in good health. I am taking the time to get back on the horse. As you can see from the last posting.....I not only fell off of the horse...but he kicked me too:)
Thanks to everyone who supported me and continue to support me through this time of loss.

I am taking your advice and trying to remember the good times, laugh and speak as if she is still with me.

For the new year, I need a focus. Does anyone have information on fasting? I hear it helps with clarity and direction. If you have tried it or know any information, please send it to me.
This is a new year and my prayer is that I may be able to impact others and be a blessing in their life.

What are you focusing on in 2010?

Who do you turn to?

Ever been in a crowed room and felt alone? Have you ever wanted to just fly away for a week or two (not on a plane...LOL)? When you feel like this who do you turn to? Yeah, people say...if you need anything just let me know...Well, what am I suppose to do...? Pick up the phone and call someone and ask them to listen to me cry? Please people stop telling people this if you don't mean it. If you are not willing to help...then don't tell the person that you will help in anyway...lol Yes, I am laughing at that part because it is quite comical how it has become the thing to say..."let me know how I can help" WTF.... Just help in any way....Not everyone wants to have to say...Can you ? or Will you? And then what about the people who said that and I stepped up and asked...and you know what happened ..."Well, I would but..." See, they should not have said a thing...LOL I think I shocked them with a request:) But anyway, I got sidetracked with this portion...because I wanted to get it off my chest. Back to the matter at hand...

Everyone has a place where no matter what happens they feel safe, a haven. For me this was my mom's house. I knew that I could open that door and receive a hug that was filled with unconditional love. I knew that she would fight to protect me against any enemy. I knew my position with her, my place in her life. When I stepped into the house, I knew my worth. So now what? Where do I go? What do I do? Who do I share these feelings with? Who wants to hear it? I have a void!

Does someone have a manual on who you turn to when you are use to being the one people turn to? I am a "listener"...that is my role. So who am I suppose to talk to?

Okay, yeah this may sound like jibberish...but those of you who have felt alone in the world...hit me up. What did you do? What helped you get through? Who helped you get through?

Easy equals young, old equals ?

I believe life is easy. Stop rolling your eyes...LOL I do believe that life is easy and it is the older humans that make it complex. As we get older, our belief system shifts causing us to sway away from easy. A key example is listening to your friends and their problems....in your mind you are thinking this is an easy fix...in their mind (along with their emotions) it is a difficult task. Take me for instance, I hate my job right now. The younger me would hustle and grind and get on another path. The older me is looking at all the complexities that come along with this change. You don't believe me. Think back to when you were under the age of 18. You believed that most things were an easy fix. You believed that you would be whatever you wanted to be. You believed in the innocence of love. You believed that life was fair and if you lived right...good things would happen. Now, think about how you feel now. Has it changed? What is the impact of the change of thinking on your life? Do you still believe life is fair? What about good things happening to good people? Let me know what you think....

What ...You are getting a boo?

A group of us....placed names for Halloween in a basket...pulled names...and that person was your "Boo" for the week. Your Boo placed things in your mailbox or had someone deliver presents to you all week. Okay...I am not saying go get you a Boo....LOL But it was so much fun! People were creative and very giving. People would see you and say "Are you my Boo?"...Yeah, we are big KIDS...but it made a negative place, positive for a week:)

Show you better than I can tell you!

Why do you have to show people that you mean business? Why can't they take your word on the situation? Okay...you tell people at your job...." I am not going to be the only one working hard!" They don't listen but still expect you to work hard while others chill....WTF

Introducing....Show'em Sally....LOL that will be me for the rest of the time....until there is the same expectations for all people...equal work for equal positions...Fight the power! Can you hear the music? LOL

Why can't people get it before you have to take it to this level?
