Starting Over

Starting Over

Once again, I find myself starting over from scratch. It's not going to be easy, but I've done it before. I can do it again. Life goes in cycles and every so often, you go through something that cleanses you mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This year has been a cleansing period for me.

The fact is that I've known for awhile that I need to clean things up a bit. I got complacent and let things build up. My grandma always told me that if you stray from the path God wants you on, he will find a way to bring you back. If you don't go easily, he will eventually put you there whether you like it or not.

Well, whether I like it or not, here I am. I know it's where I need to be. I've learned a lot of valuable lessons getting to this point but it doesn't make my situation any easier. I hate what is happening in the world today. There's no compassion and people think they can get away with anything. 

In spite of Mr. Kirkwood and Mr. Harting and their shady tactics, I will get this current situation resolved and hopefully, at some point get back on my feet financially. Karma does not look kindly on people like them and I hope I get to witness when she rears her head.

Regardless, I'm working on getting back on my feet. They will not beat me. They can try, but in the long run, they will never take the things that are most important to me. I will make it through this and I will be stronger than ever.......

Being Alone

  Most of you who know me are well aware that I spend a lot of time by myself. I'm so used to dealing with all my problems on my own. It is exhausting, but sometimes I feel like it is the only way. I was told earlier this year by a family member that I love dearly, to basically stop whining about doing things alone and just "put my back into it." This happened at one of my lowest points and just drove it home that it's just best if I keep to myself. I'm just like everyone else. I need to have someone to talk to. I want to have someone in my life that I can do things with. I'm tired of being alone. I don't even talk to my kids about the things that weigh on my mind. They won't listen and if they do, I doubt they would care much. Since I lost the store, I've been living with my son and his family. My work has slowed down considerably due to the nastiness of AI. On a good note, it has given me time to work on my own projects and build my business. It...

My Demons

Image
 I am a warrior. I take on every challenge and give it everything I have. There are days when I struggle; days when I get overwhelmed. There are days when I want to throw my hands up and walk away. I don't. I push forward even though it's hard. I was told once that I needed to fight my demons. That's not necessarily true. I do not fight my own demons. My demons love me and they play with my angels. I fight the demons of others who try to control me and put me in places they want me to be. I will go where I need to go and do what my destiny demands, even if I have to fight the demons in the world around me. I fight the demons of the world. The ones that try to snuff out the good in the world. I am a powerful healer and positive spirit. The world's demons do not like that. They do everything they can to beat me down. I will not let them win! I learned a long time ago that I had demons as well as angels that would protect me. They taught me that perfect balance co...

Redefining Me People who know me know how bad last year was for me. Somewhere along the way, I lost myself. I got stuck in a fog and I wasn't sure how to get out of it. It didn't matter what I tried, I was stuck and I didn't know where to turn. Negativity surrounded me and I couldn't see any path that led to anything good. In September, I deployed for the Red Cross and it helped some. I got to put a few things in perspective and I got to take a step back. I started to see a little light at the end of a very long tunnel. When I went home, the darkness started to close in again. In January, I made the decision to deploy again. This time, I stayed longer, much longer. It's now the middle of February and I'm still here. I miss home a lot and I miss my kids terribly, but I need this time to redefine myself. I'm still me, but I'm making a few upgrades. My Aunt Peggy passed away a few days ago. Losing her was hard. She was always the one to tell me to suck it u...
