ALL She Had...

ALL She Had...

I have spoken about my Mother, often; but I have known all-along, that she is the reason I have my Faith.

This morning, I had an epiphany - her Faith was ALL she had. That "mustard seed", that kept her going for 92 years; and married to her "perpetrator" for 64 years.

I have carried a "chip", regarding this for over 62 years. Today, I released it, and forgave her for the "garbage" HER choices caused me to have to learn my way through.

I let it affect MY Faith. I was remembering this morning, going camping in a 2-person pup tent; with 3 people emerging to attend a local church in their "Sunday Best". ON VACATION!!! We didn't know anybody; why did we even have to go??!

Because SHE needed it - she made those hard choices, and stood by them; even when her Alzheimers took away her choice to knowingly stick to them.

I am not preaching, here; but you do have options and choices. Whatever you choose - stick to it, like your life depended on it. It just might!!! You never know...

Thank you, and have a good day, and be safe... #ENDtheSILENCEofVIOLENCE #dviseverywhere #domesticviolence #growin2024 #awareness #protectyourself #besafe

In our world, fear is a very common feeling. It's kinda getting scarier day by day. How can we not be overtaken by it? After 9/11, I battled some very strong fears - including a small plane flying overhead, when I was walking down the street, in my small town. That whole Covid debacle - they shut down the world!!! Then, I lived through the Derailment. I feel fear every day - wondering if I'll get sick. All of these bring up valid fears - but what am I supposed to do? Sit in a corner and chew on my hair??! Ineffective coping mechanism, right? But what CAN I do? Face them - talk to people, even a professional if need be. Remember, we ALL have the choice of our REACTION to our fears - we can let them paralyze us; or motivate us into action, EVERY DAY. What will YOU choose? We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

...your biggest fear DID happen? ...your biggest fear did NOT happen? ...you took that chance you've been prolonging? ...you took the first step to protect YOURSELF? ... you found out what "they said" WAS true? ...you found out what "they said" was NOT true? ...you took a deep breath, and you WERE able to begin to relax? ...you just "Let Them" do them? ...you "Let Yourself" do you? ...you BELIEVED your life was meant to be lived to the fullest? ...you COULD just be?

You ever feel that way, especially in a heated debate? Don't know about you, but when that happens, my brain is usually telling my mouth to hush - but it just keeps on going. Sound familiar? My personal goal has been to practice silence - you do have to pick your battles, because there are people that will argue with you about the sky being blue!!! Also, if you're dealing with a narcissistic person - you will not win. So, depending on the relationship - do you value being right, or value that relationship? Choices must always be made; and it takes contemplation BEFORE you're in a "battle". What are YOUR thoughts on this? We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

Regarding my word for 2026 - Building - I have been watching YouTube videos, every morning, evening and on my lunch breaks. Covering everything from building wealth in Retirement with Warren Buffet - to growing my life-skills with Mel Robbins, and her variety of guests on her podcasts. I am seeking my life "what next", for when I plan to retire within the next 5 years. While on this quest, everything I take in, I glean a little bit. Learning things the "traditional way" - via formal education, has NEVER been strong suit. I have actually been sharing some of what I've been learning with people I'm around every day - and it's coming out making sense. Normally, that only happens when I write, and correct, etc. Who knows where this will go - I'm going to just keep learning this new information; and blending it with things I have always known, because of what I've been through in my life. Stay tuned...what's next??! We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

It's hard, sometimes, to remember there are a MINIMUM of two sides to every story. When you factor in the truth, the incredibly creative fiction a mind can come up with, plus there is each individual's perspective - any situation can get blown out of proportion so fast, it's not even funny!!! Sometimes, the best thing a person can do is step back, close your mouth, and wait for the smoke to clear. It's hard to do - but if you don't, it can evolve to even bigger problems than were there, to begin with. What do YOU think??? We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

...so difficult??! I have mentioned that 2025, was a year of struggle; though I had one, of two of the BEST vacations, in my life. I spent over half the year trying to "start up", again; based on internal focus and structure that I had been building for roughly 10 years. FINALLY, after struggling for months - the words, "Start Over" appeared. The good news, is, that I wasn't starting over at ground zero. I was able to lay out a plan - it takes a minute (or seven), or at least 30 days of consistency, to build a good habit. I will let you know when I've arrived. We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.
