The Route

"The route to self-love and healing is never-ending, and it demands regular attention. There will be moments of doubt and disappointments, but each stride forward demonstrates your will and tenacity. Celebrate these modest achievements, and remember that you are worthy of all the love and happiness the world has to offer." - Unknown

Send Healing Vibes

Those reading this, please say a prayer and/or send positive, comforting, healing thoughts Virginia's way. She's a wonderful woman who deserves good health.  So, you'll understand why I'll be absent for a bit from the blogging world while we keep close to my mom. Everyone stay safe and well.

Child, Teen, Adult

Healing is so hard because it's a constant battle between your inner child, who's scared and just wants safety, your inner teenager, who's angry and just wants justice, and your adult self, who is tired and just wants peace. Be gentle with yourself.... ~ @Actual1Murf

The Unexpected

Last year I wrote about sending out an intention to the Universe of something that you would like to occur in your life (or pray), and then trust it will happen. One example I shared before was the synchronicity of our move back home. Not only does the Universe/God answer our call/prayer in due time,… Continue reading The Unexpected

Healing Hearts Day

They say it's usually people who are alone that disparage Valentine's Day, but I know better. So, I'm just going to say it, I don't like Valentine's Day, and this is coming from someone who has had a love in my life for 30 plus years. After writing about this holiday in the past and… Continue reading Healing Hearts Day

Uphill Road to Recovery

My husband and I know each other well, which helped us to quickly fall into a regular routine at home for his recovery. At that time, I was able to post blogs more often.

Grocery Shopping and Underwear

My husband asked me to write a blog about underwear, and since he's still recovering from an injury, I thought I'd oblige. If there is anything that a crisis can teach a person, it's gratitude for simple things. The outer apparatus, more correctly named, the External Fixater holding my husband's foot together was about a… Continue reading Grocery Shopping and Underwear

It works out in the end

I thought I'd post an update  from my last winded blog post about my husband's injury and the debacle of his scheduled procedures. It turns out that the surgeon (who is the best in the area, we are very pleased with him) is scheduled for surgeries months in advance. For people like my husband who… Continue reading It works out in the end

Wednesday Wisdom

I was thinking about my recent blog post on optimism and last week's quote about it too. I came to discover that optimism is not too unlike hope. So, here are a few quotes for today's Wednesday Wisdom on hope. I couldn't decide which one I liked best. Which one is your favorite? 1) We must accept finite… Continue reading Wednesday Wisdom
