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:>)

So Content

For the last week and a half, I have been caring for my husband who has broken his foot in three different places.  Even though he will be in a cast for the next five weeks, I am grateful I have been able to be an example for him.  It warms my heart to see him walking with his crutches, caring items in his mouth, as a third hand, and willing to do for himself!  Willing to go beyond, and, willing to regain his strength and have the fighting spirit which we all must have to keep on going:>)))))))))))

Another Day

Hi all!

I am checking in from another busy day of caring for my hubby:>) Boy, am I ever grateful!  I am so glad that I have the ability to do what I do, otherwise I do not know where I would be.  I am so thankful I have had a fighting spirit all my life and have never given up on myself and kept the hope and faith in my heart, no matter what!

I am going to sign out for now, but thought writing would do me good, and it has:>)))))))))))))

Until tomorrow…

My Personal Battle!

This morning I received the nicest complement a person could get!  It was from a new friend I just met on line.  A very sweet soul who came into my life with angel wings! She not only is giving me her support, but has put one of my writings up on her blog.  How sweet is that- and oh how I appreciate her love, devotion, and kindness!

The truth is, that ever since I can remember, I have been passionate about getting “my life,” Together,  whatever that is:>)))) lol, and giving more that 150 percent to it, in everything I do.  I don’t know any other way.  Weather its dealing with a physical therapy issue, a learning issue, an inclusion issue, an employment issue, what ever the issue was, I have always, always walked the line!  No matter what I have had to deal with, I have always spoken the truth, and given everyone my all weather they could except it or not. I payed the consequences too!

More times than not, the people I confronted, could not handle the truth. Yet I was canned in the way they decided.  Most people could not, and did not know how to cope with the issue or situation at hand or with me personally!  They liked to tastefully turn the tables, put me on the defensive, and make me out to be the bad guy!  And I, I only want to see good for the world, I only want peace and harmony for others, and I only want to share with the world- if I could do it, so could you!
I don’t want favors, and charity!  I don’t want to be treated any differently just because I have a physical disability or a learning disability.  I may need some help.  And I will ask, if I do!  As there is absolutely nothing wrong in asking for those accommodations and in turn, receiving them, fulfilled. And giving it your all! There is nothing wrong in having the same desires as others!  We are all human!  Aren’t we?  Why then should we be looked at any differently?

I do not think society ever dealt with a human being just like me before!  A free spirit, a rebel with a cause, a person who has hope, dreams and desires, and whats to help others not have to go through what I had to go through!  And to see those dreams accomplished.  I am a person who is willing to go the extra mile, who is willing to take on the system, to not only see equality for herself, but equity  for others!  I want to see and bare witness to fairness. I want to bare witness to justice being made for my kind.  It doesn’t matter to me what your disability is- lets learn to help each other and work in unison.  “One for all,… and… all for one”  This way all  of us can have an opportunity and chance to have our wants, need, and dreams met.

We are not animals to be lock in cages.  We are not extra ammunition or surplus to be shot rounds at.  And, we are not criminals!  We are human beings desiring the same things in life that”NORMAL” people have a chance at daily.  So why can’t we!   We do not deserve this kind of treatment.  We are people who want to succeed in our lives-  We want to see our hard deserved action recognized-  We want our words to be taken seriously, and we to want to be praised and validated- we want other to recognize our achievement without being locked out of the mainstream of life!  We want our lives to have meaning too!

We don’t want to just sit at home day in or day out, and stare at the four walls because we were blocked, conveniently, from earning a living, or getting a degree that we could have gotten if those professionals who call themselves professionals did not stand in our way, or label  us, or made a unsound ruling and judgment just because we are shrouded with an imperfect body, or mind… this does not give anybody the right to look down upon us, or judge us.
