I will make this happen for myself too- just like everything else in my life- I am as determined as determined can be to move forward with anticipation and recognition with my public speaking career. And even though I have shared and spoken before, many a times, and filled many a rooms with encouragement, hope and empowerment I will keep on keeping on till that someone sees and recognizes my potential and what I have to give to the world.
Learn
Recently, Over and over again in the news and media, I keep hearing and reading about how they treat “Us” individuals with learning disabilities. After all these years, I still see how they tend to degrade people with LD, and disregard our needs and desires as human beings. They treat us with little or no respect, still. Even after all these years they segregate and label us for there OWN convinces! This outrages me! What can we do as a team? What can we do as individuals with LD to put a stop to this? What can we do to make our voices heard and to effect a change in this world and society?
I have been told…in strength there is numbers. How can we, ourselves, begin a movement towards bettering life and the world around us! Tell me?
Cleansing of the Heart & Soul
Today has been a day to reflect upon my life and to let go of my past. Once again, I have written my feelings down, only to release them from my being, and to gain strength and knowledge to live my life in a different way. It is time to let go so that my body and mind have the opportunity to heal and regain its vitality, its beauty, its serenity, and the peace of mind that is my due birthright. I let go and send my love out to everyone! Especially those who I feel have taught me the most valuable lessons around…:>))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
The Day After
Its the day after, and I have been reading and learning all kinds of new things. I am also more intune and am listening even more closely to my life’s note, issues, and events, as I let go of my past one at a time. No more of hanging on to certain ideas and old thoughts that hurt and wounded me- Gone they are! As I believe in the birthright to live, love, renew my inner soul’s intentions, rejuvenate my spirit and physical body, along with its simple beauties. I truly want to see and recognize my own glory, as I rebuild my physical body to health.
My Visit
It is the day after, and I visited my new homeopathic doctor. Had a consultation, and an acupuncture treatment. I was also given some homework assignments to do and tasks to perform. In addition, I was given some new guidelines and instructions as to what foods I aught to be eating now. To be honest with myself, after I came home and had dinner, I began to anguish and have a panic attack over it, but then I told myself…”the doctor knows more than you!” Your way has not worked, nor the latest way- so be open-minded and try his-” that’s when I began to calm down, and find peace and acceptance within my soul and being.
I must go for now, because I must start making phone calls and ordering my list of prescriptions I need. So until I write again…
Inspiration
Today, I spent the first 5 hours of my day writing a letter and advocating for a woman who’s son has C.P. and a learning disability. She needed some help and Salas for this IEP meeting on Friday. Well, to say the least, I was there for her. It made me feel warm inside knowing that I could help her. It rejuvenated my spirit knowing I was able to be their for her in a time of real need. Reaching out to take her hand made me feel grateful for all the life experience I’ve ever had to go through!
Today’s Journey
It is now 5 p.m. and I just came home from the doctors with my husband. I also see that it has been 5 days since I last wrote anything on my blog. Oh my… but to be honest, It was all I could do to stay focused and together the last three days. I have had an emotionally trying and draining week, trying to keep it together emotionally. I had my moments, had a good cry, of which I believe brings a good release to the heart of pent up feelings and emotions. It does a heart really good:>) Along with writing your feelings out and tearing them up, burning them and releasing them.
It helps to move through a situation at hand, however, sometimes if you can’t, if one is willing, like I have been all my life, it may take years, and years, and years in a particular area in order to have a break through or healing. Sometimes I think my issue will never end, or that I won’t be healed! It is a wound that keeps coming back time and time again. No matter how deep I dig to release this from my being, it’s still there! It haunts me like a ghost! And then, suddenly, I am lead to someone eles or lead towards a whole new direction and action in my life to take. All I find I need to have is an open mind:>))))))))))) and a willingness that never quits!!!!!
One of the on-going challenges I’ve been experiencing has physically gone on for the last 35 years. I don’t like to talk about this much, because I’ve worked on it for so long-. I am hear to tell you that I am still alive and ticking and getting to the root cause. I have learned to cope and accept my allergies to all the different food I have. I will continue on, because I must! I will seek more, and research more, and reach out to those Doctors who I think might be able to help further! You see, in the last 5 years my body has been reacting violently to foods and not getting the nutrient to what I eat.
I have been working with the best Naturopathic Doctor’s around. And Monday, I will be going to see a new Homeopathic Doctor. These challenges have been far more heart wrenching than my Cerebral Palsy and Learning Disability. When I begin to think about this for a minute, it is very painful, it is more painful, and up there emotionally with fighting for my life and my education with my Civil Rights Case , or trying to prove to the world that I am a capable person in doing anything I put my mind towards doing!
But I will survive and get through this just like everything else! I will! I really will!
Now that I have spilled my guts…I will close; as I must prepare my dinner.
Activity is a good thing
It is now 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon California time, and I have been on the go all morning. I have been writing to people all day long and networking. What a wonderful feeling to take action and, to make things in your life come to pass! What’s even sweeter is when you connect with others who have the same interest as you and bond and work together in unison’s. There is nothing warmer than that!
Well, I have a dozen or more things left on my agenda today, so I will sign off for now.
Take care…
Becoming Visible
Dear Blog,
I know I have not been doing much entering lately. I have been taking care of life’s most important issues right now. These issues are foremost, and stand before me at this point and time. I not only have been working on updating and making Whispers of Hope better than what it is already, but I am bringing another new web and blog design to this site! I have been doing whats before me and taking care of the most important things before me. I have also been holding down the fort, too:>))) I have been caring for my husband who broke his leg 3 weeks ago now!
Thus, I am doing triple duty! Not to mention the fact of taking care of me, my health, my animals, my home, and everything else that goes with daily living. I have been juggling a lot and doing very well. My days are long and quite full, but I look towards it all positively and being grateful for everything that is happening. This fills my heart up and give me a good feeling inside. Life is not always a rose garden, but I keep pulling the weeds to make it beautiful:>)
I will write more when I can. And I will enter this code too, for all you bloggers out there:>)<a href=”http://technorati.com/claim/h4webbim3” rel=”me”>Technorati Profile</a>
To All of You
I have not entered anything into my blog in a few days because my husband feel down, off a block fence, and broke his ankle. Yes! So I thought I would come on for a second and extend my gratitude to all of you, who have written a response to my writing and were so kind, warm and giving.
It feels very nice! I wrap your love, your care, and your understanding heart around me like a beautiful warm quilt that keeps me protected and safe! It also gives me more reason to keep on keeping on and to keep writing about the hope within myself never to give up on my passion:>))))))))))))))
To all of you, I say thank you:>)
I will write more when I am able.
I am lifted on high by your comments and support so keep them coming:>)
