BE READY FOR YOUR BLESSINGS!

It is an amazing, magnificent and glorious manifestation of POWER - when GOD, THE CREATOR has led you. YOU LISTENED FOR AND TO YOUR CALL, and regardless of the limited worldly vision we've come to know and often accept, THE FLOODGATES HAVE OPENED. NOW, WHAT WE SOUGHT IS NOW IN OUR FIELD OF VISION! BE READY FOR YOUR BLESSINGS BY BEING PREPARED TO RECEIVE THEM.

IF I BELIEVED IN LUCK, I'D THINK I WAS ONE OF THE UNLUCKIEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD

Wow, I was surprised to see this "silly luck meter" pop up on my FB wall.  I did not intentionally put it here, and find it quite ridiculous for a person like me who is too centered on REALITY AND ROOTED IN FAITH to subscribe to. My to do list was directed to add yet something else I just didn't plan to do today. I hope to keep this short, but I just don't know with me. Today I turned on my computer, looked at email and then at FB. On my wall, I was surprised to see a horoscope HIGHLIGHTED in yellow - 12%, My Daily Luck. That was a big WOW moment for me since I rarely read a horoscope. I just can't allow someone's vision of MY day to cloud MY thinking and moving ME forward. If it reads well it's going to be a great day. O.K. lovely.I like the thought of it, but when it dictates a negative thought, is that supposed to mean negativity to me. I DON'T THINK SO!

If I believed in luck, my life would have been devastated from all the negativity I've encountered along this journey of life. Compliments of outer elements I had no control over. That leads me back to this luck thing. Unfortunate circumstances happen to some more than the norm. That horoscope crap is not my "TRUTH METER".  Some man or woman who doesn't even know me - is supposed to determine  - MY DAY - I DON'T THINK SO! That fortunately for me is not how I choose to live and believe. I can't wrap my brain around their trash. This was my funny for the day so far, but plan to block so I don't see it tomorrow, and I hope I won't.

When I say I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - that is an unrefutable, non-negotiable statement I can stand by based on "MY LIFE TESTIMONY". If each day I get up now and choose to think negatively, I would be unable every day to need and want to still be progressive. Looking at my life - living with a horrible disease like multiple sclerosis would overwhelm me - everyday. It is not living a life based on outer circumstances that defines the perspective by which I live my. life.

I LIVE A LIFE OF KNOWING, knowing that although my life is not where I've worked so hard for it to be, I must not lose my focus. (not for long) For change to occur, one must step out their box, for some it's a comfort zone. For me it's always been about striving, moving forward - regardless. I must live from a knowing that even just because this moment is not what I need  it to be - I can definitely change the momentum. No one determines a 12% day by writing a low ball number for me - I'll shoot high and be grateful, knowing "I AM A WINNER" despite what things look like, or how bad I may feel. THAT PERCENTAGE IS AT 1,000 - can they handle that! Enough of this nonsense for me. BE BLESSED!

Judge Glenda Hatchett - Parent Power Now!

Please listen to Judge Hatchett's message. It brings home in a social networking forum the importance of taking responsibility and care for a child/children whether ours or not. What role does or will each of us play in this overwhelming task of encouraging and building up children's character and self esteem? PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LISTEN AS SHE USES HER PLATFORM TO MAKE A POWERFUL STATEMENT WITH EACH ONE WHO IS INVOLVED.

Although I loved her show, and wish it was still being taped, change and progression must take place. THIS IS WONDERFUL!, it extends a way to effect the lives of so many young people. LET'S ALL TAKE PART AND DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE THE LIFE OF A CHILD!

In her mailing she stated to post one word as ones status - example mine is (Mother - Courageous!)

BE BLESSED!

I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES - PERIOD!

Just for the record - "I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES" and I can own that statement - I wouldn't be here now if I didn't.  That's another story for a lot of other days. GOD BLESS!
It's saw this story on the news last night and was amazed at how much Henrietta Lacks gave not only to medicine, but to but humanity. This is amazing on a few levels, and that's just from the excerpts from the book you can read in the report. The interview with the family stating - no one in the family  ever been compensated. All the $$$$$$$$$$$ that have been made. UMMMMMM!

TRAVEL TIPS FOR THE DISABLED/DIFFERENTLY ABLED

During the last three years since my health deteriorated, many of my life pleasures were snatched away from me. It's now time to regroup further and take back more - BY WHATEVER MEANS NECESSARY. One of those necessities, for me anyway and this time, is to take a much needed trip this year. I DESERVE THAT and more, as do you if that's what you feel is a need in your own life. I have not yet decided where it is I'll be going, I do have a few ideas and any and all would be acceptable, but somewhere is on my agenda.

As some of you know, just getting out of the house is challenging, planning a trip and all the how, what, where and why's about every little thing comes into play and just the thought can be overwhelming. So, as I encourage myself to begin the process of traveling with stressful health centered problems you may decide to venture to take back at least this aspect of enjoying your own life. I found a helpful site that will get me started on my journey.

Traveling in a wheelchair seems overwhelming, but it is what I must figure out to do to have a safe and enjoyable trip. I just may start off with a few weekend trips to lead up to my vacation, but as I said, I DESERVE IT! No one can even imagine the mental stressful toll long term confinement can do to one's spirit if one's never had a blow like that  handed to them. It is unimaginable to me at times, and I'm living through it every day. Well that's it for now, I think I'll read a little more about exactly how to take back a little sliver of my joy.  BE BLESSED!
