A Month of Caring and Sharing


I have decided to do something different this month. For almost two years I have been given the opportunity to share my life, experiences, worries, hope and determination. I have been truly blessed beyond words to have been allowed these opportunities.


With each entry I have poured my heart out, opened my life to so many of you out there and been blessed to have the chance to know you. We have all had our own roads to walk have we not? Life has been wonderful, harsh, trying and inspiring. I have read through so many of your blogs and found reasons to pick myself up, dust myself off and keep moving forward more times than I can count.


So this month, I am sharing my blog with many who wouldn't normally do so. I am calling it " A Month of Caring and Sharing". I am opening it up to many who have shared their lives with me, many who live near me and family who have endeared their own challenges in life, yet have come up swinging, fighting. Some are old friends, college friends, family, new friends, childhood buddies...family but all our beautiful souls. My thought here is to allow these wonderful people to share their own experiences. Yes they are very diverse, but it is those diversities that allow us to grow, understand and to open ourselves to the world around us.


As the month goes by I will offer new entries from these many beautifully diverse people. I know you will open your hearts to them, because I know each of you have done the same for me. Through their experiences and the journeys they themselves have set out upon, we can all benefit. Our hearts will be touched, our souls stirred and hopefully along the way we will find a bit of ourselves in there too. After all we are a community are we not? We share and care everyday here, in our blog do we not ?


We all have stories to tell, to share. The roads are not all the same, nor are the outcomes, but they all connect us. each person, each story winds down and has to endure the wintry roads of our lives. These are their stories...your stories...

Life Lesson #157 ~ Daughters of the King

"A Daughter of the King is known not by the crown she wears. but by the message she bears." ~ Daughters of the King ebook As a child did you ever dream of being royalty? I know I did. Yes, this comic book loving, Sci-Fi watching little girl daydreamed of being a princess. Pictures of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty come to mind. I mean who wouldn't want to talk to animals and sing all day? I sure did, but more than anything  I wanted to wield a sword, carry a shield and fight with the rebels. I twirled around in my cape made from a bath towel and carried a light saber made of a cardboard wrapping paper roll. My idea of royalty was more of a warrior than a dainty helpless damsel. I wanted to be like my favorite Amazon fighting Princess, Wonder Woman right out of my comic books or even Princess Leia from a galaxy far far away fighting against an evil Empire. Looking back now, I know I'm a warrior by birth. Even at my weakest, I've been a fighter from the

Life Lesson #200 ~ Jealousy

"When people are intimidated  by your strength and happiness, they'll try and break you down, and break your spirit. Remember, it's a reflection of their weakness, and not a reflection of you." ~ Free Spirited We have a saying here in the South. Truthfully it's probably where 'Bless your heart' originated. See, while we're biting our tongues, mama's raisin' isn't forgotten. When folks are acting all high and mighty and being ugly we simply remind ourselves to kill 'em with kindness. Lord have mercy! This task may be really difficult at times, but the truth is, you catch way more flies with honey than you do with vinegar, that's for sure. Now when it comes to those who ain't acting like they got good sense or feeling the need to make a mountain out of a molehill, well you just gotta remind yourself, "more Jesus, less drama." Mama didn't raise no fool... I can assure y'all of that. When gossip shows her

Life Lesson #480 ~ Small But Mighty

  Let's get real today!  Be genuine and authentic. Speak truthfully, wholeheartedly with intention. If you're a spoonie, you probably know where I'm heading. If you're not. Pull up a seat, sit down and join the conversation. There’s a lot here to unpack. Ok, my question today, if you're dealing with any form of chronic illness, is this. How do you deal with family, trolls or outside influences who call you a phoney? Every spoonie has a muggle in their life or two or three even who invalidates their illness.Those who make it abundantly clear you're putting on an act.  You don’t even have to think about it. Names are already coming to mind, aren’t they? Let’s face it, you know the drill. It's an old routine and we all know how it goes…You need attention. You're dramatic. There’s nothing wrong with you. Oh and my personal favorite....you're faking it.  These kinds of people can’t grasp how you can actually be THAT sick, at all. I mean, come on. You don&
