Do Not Be Ashamed of your Feelings and Life

By
Why do I feel guilty for feeling something I know that is almost completely natural? Is something wrong with me? Am I overly sensitive again or am I just living in my own bubble? Am I OK to the world, is the world OK to me?

Am I just immersed in ONE person, one GROUP or just living in my own mind-bubble? Letting others determine whether you are living your life right or not should not be the way. Everyone has his or her way of living their lives, and just because one person does not see it the way you do, does not mean that YOU are wrong, or she/he is wrong.

There is no right or wrong. There's just you...and them...and us...all trying to live and survive in this messy world. Everyone has wars and battles that they are not showing. Well, some show it more than others but everyone has his or her own ghost.

Should our battles intertwine, then we should help each other in ways that we can or can afford to, in time and in money. But if we can't, then there is to be no blame. But the bottom line is that no battle is to be ashamed of. I don't have to like the fact that my battles are aired and people are thinking of me in ways that I don't like to be thought of, but it is the truth. I've never been one to hide my true situations and life. It's always been out in the open if asked. In fact, sometimes it is out in the open when NOT asked.

I think that's the way I would like to live my life, and it's always been the way I lived. I don't like to feel this shame when people look at me, think of me or remember me. I am not someone you should be ashamed of. I am someone you should be proud of. Simply because I have come this far.

No, I am not superhuman and no, I am not super-successful. But yes, I am super alive.

Prompt - Describe My Favorite Drink

By
Favorite drink? Non-alcoholic? Lol. Coffee because of its aroma and it is an added bonus that it wakes me up (before I go-go) and at this point in time, I try to stay away from Starbucks because it ain't cheap and it is basically sugar-in-a-cup, that stuff. I am continually in love with my three-in-one, yes, boring but faithful. And everyone should be in love with coffee, in my personal opinion. But that is just me. XOXO Marsha

A Sweet Life

By
Bad news comes along everyday but last year alone, quite a few bad news struck me. The timing was like a mechanical pendulum. I thought to myself several times that I had enough, that what I needed was a break. A 10 day retreat where I am required to speak to no one, do nothing, listen to silence and nature and just be what I am meant to be.  But real life is not something you can escape for a long period of time. I served my silence....but reality will pendulum-swing back. A friend passed away after being in a coma for a few months. I know both husband and wife and they've always been really positive about handling the toughest of life situations. We may not agree with everything, but we do agree on many. During the time she was unconscious, I prayed every single day. I kid you not.  Her husband would report about her condition, good or bad, and I would either offer thanks or pray for good news and strength. Even during the worst hit moments, I kept the posi...

Feeling a Little Better

By
After all that fighting with the first week of meds, I finally feel like I am slightly more human and I can even consume food without throwing up anymore! It's a big celebration at the dinner table, it's a big celebration in the room and it's also a big celebration on the inside of me.  Taking care of myself has never been as important as last month when the sickness took over every single aspect of my life, every second of my life, and every ounce of my energy. When you're well, it's OK to fight all the way to planet Pluto and back  because you have it together. But when you're sick, there's nothing more humbling than your body telling you that you absolutely CANNOT.  Being this way has everything to do with being a single mother. Being alone or lonely was never much of an option for me and that has to do with the way I was brought up and the way I grew up. I had to fasttrack a lot of things and many times, when I failed, I had to pick everything u...
