I looked at my before and after photo from January of 2008 when I was in the depth of chemo for my Ovarian Cancer and I was horrified at the pictures, I was sure it wasn’t me, how could I look that scary and sick and at the time and not realize what condition I was in?
  None of my family or friends let on as to how they must have felt when they looked at my face and into my eyes, instead their behavior indicated I was doing well …

I mentioned in my Cancer update how powerful the word Shame felt to me. Probably because I’ve felt so much in my life regarding being ashamed of this and that; we’ll explain more another time. It’ll be a whole chapter in our grammology book.
My mom as I’ve mentioned was big on guilt, fear, and yes shame. She taught us to recognize our faults and work hard to improve them. We resented every moment however, always seemed to be trying to be better people.

Are you a Sinner?
I was saying my morning prayers today, and of course part of it asks me to be a better person and obtain forgiveness for my sins. For the first time in years I stopped for a moment in mid prayer and asked myself what my sins were. I was somewhat perplexed as I remembered my childhood upbringing and the MORTAL SIN…. Oh well I thought, I hadn’t lied, I do swear (however don’t think it’s a sin unless you use the Lord’s name in vain) and I …

I was able to attend the Wesleyan Church today. I love to go there, when I come out I always feel like I’m going to try to be a better person. Not that I don’t try anyway, however, it gives me more motivation to try harder.
The theme for the morning was sharing your story. How did you find Jesus? I listened as the Pastor told some stories. Her thinking was good, I understood her mission. Make us think about how we got here. That there was someone who loved …

What do you think is the most important part of your life? Is it material, or is it personal? What is the difference between material (home, car, money in bank) and personal (people you love, family, children) etc etc. My daughter got me thinking about this when she surprised me and said……I learned something about love mom and what I think it really means. Hmm I thought where is this going? If someone you know dies and you feel no personal reaction to their being gone….you couldn’t have loved them. …

Kala, my 19 year old granddaughter stopped to visit me with her sister Mary.We started talking about her true love and what it meant to her.  How does a young woman know when she’s in love and is it real?  I found the conversation interesting as I could see passion and feeling as Kala and I talked.  So here is how Kala feels about her first true love.

Here is a post from a friend of mine. She wonders under the blanket of friendship, how much do you tolerate and give and still call it a friendship. While I’ve discussed the different kinds of friendships that exist, here’s one that I didn’t think of. Let us know what you’d do…I think my friend could use some of your thoughts. My best…and thanks for this post…
Can You Out Grow a Friend?

Question, do women give up the great husbands, waiting for the so called soul mate that makes you tingle when you see him? Your heart races, and your body is longing for the next intimate encounter. Is this lust, and can that it be translated into a sound relationship or marriage?

My niece asked me how to determine if a potential male friend could be trusted? If there was such thing as truth regarding men and what they tell women. I wonder, what an interesting question. What a loaded question. I’ve worked with men all my career and you always want to believe what they promise…however, it ain’t the way it is.. You learn quickly to cover your backside and depend on yourself to keep you afloat.
