Failure... Let Them Teach You

By
I've been thinking a whole lot about my past failures. The times I agitated and pissed of (or were pissed of by) others, the ties I've severed. The people I've said fuck you to, the people I've asked to leave my life, the people whose lives I've left, and the people who I knew did more harm to my life than good. 

I've also thought about my life as a teenager, a young adult, the pain that I've probably unconsciously inflicted on the people around me, my parents, my ex-boyfriends, my co-workers, my ex, my kids, my in-laws, everyone. 

Maybe I just feel sad because there's something at the back of my mind that I can't solve. It's a situation that I find myself stuck in because no matter how Wonder Woman I think I am or can be, it's beyond me. 

I look to God and I look to Karma, I look to the Sky, the Universe for answers and for months, an answer is not forthcoming. God cannot solve financial problems, only humans can. 

I keep telling myself that if there's a way INTO this problem, there's a way out. The Universe does not give people problems that they cannot solve. We only have to look a little harder, search a little deeper and find a little longer. 

Really? Is it? Is it really THAT simple? 

For months I have been searching and there is this dread at the back of my mind that keeps wondering if I will ever stop wondering. When will this issue be a thing of the past? When I will be released from ever having to worry about it? When will I be free?

Although technically, it's not a failure on my part because it is a success in every other way, but my failure to deal with the problem early on has brought me this far. And if I have come this far, I suppose I can keep going, keep looking, for twice as long. I only need to keep my head up, hopes up, spirit up and keep looking. 

There HAS to be an answer.

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...

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
