Self Acceptance
As I have grown older, I have come to realize pleasing others is less of need and more of a strain. When I moved out of my parents home over 20 years ago, I learned the delights of developing and acquiring my own (very) long list of wants and desires. Quite a happy time, as…

Waiting in the hallway
The doctors wanted me admitted for the night but I chose to go home. I cope best in familiar surroundings with those I love. It has been a difficult waiting time waiting in the hallway. As the Lord reminds me, one can praise while waiting. It has been an exhausting journey; all of four days…

The Long Kiss Goodbye
Ever felt trapped? Ever worried and dithered over planning your escape route? I recently fell into a deep hole by wrong associations. Taking on a leadership role of a well-dressed project, after a well-dressed presentation. I failed to ask myself some crucial questions, to base my response on good judgement. Fatigued by a two-year stint…

Time to Heal – Let Go and Let God
When two friends fight! One friend had a disagreement with another over a very trivial issue. Others took offence and even picked sides. In short, a full blown episode of Grey Gardens – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758751/ . Coffee dates and long telephone calls came to an end. Visits and special days taken off the calendar. Blank days…
