Dear Rachel~

Dearest Rachel~ As trite as it may sound, you are exactly where you are suppose to be.  There is no feeling that is not okay and there is no timeline to healing.  You will love, miss, regret, cherish, laugh and cry, I would guess, the rest of forever when you think of your precious daughter, or see things that remind you of her.  The loss of little Audrey is something that most of us could never, ever imagine.  Be you, be honest, just be...  You will be loved and cared for always~ Great big hugs, Cynthia

Clutter Bug

"I had what I like to call ‘clutter body’ where your entire body is so encased in clutter that you want to cut off all your limbs and set them outside in hopes that they’ll feel some air and space."  Unknown I have had this malady since our flood in June, well to be honest, long before as my kids left home and left their treasures, and my parents left "home", this earthly home and left their treasures, and as I left behind hobbies, and collections, and things I no longer used....  It was once loved and now what is it?  What do I do with "it"....  Once was treasured by someone, remains a treasue, right~ To be continued....

In a Fury~

When you find yourself in a fury, the person you perceive as causing it is your greatest teacher at that moment. That person is teaching you that you have not yet mastered yourself, that you still do not know how to choose peace as that button is being pushed.

When you feel something like anger, practice mustering up the courage to say how you feel without being abusive or loud. You will see that communicating rather than stifling yourself will end the rage almost immediately.

Thank you for the reminder!

Father Mychal Judge~

You've got the right idea Father Mike!

Lord, take me where you want me to go
Lord, let me meet who you want me to meet
Lord, tell me what you want me to say
Lord, and keep me out of your way
