Six Sentence Story

  1. Last night, I couldn’t remember if I took my anxiety medication.
  2. This morning, my 6 year old acted like a packed old G from Compton.
  3. Midday, an AA meeting triggered a major loss grief in my life, setting my anxiety on fire.
  4. Around 2:40, a miscommunication happened… Which resulted in me confirming I DID NOT take my medication last night.
  5. I was sitting in my car, at my kids’ school, and had a 35 minute meltdown.
  6. I’m now eating my feelings through AMAZING dove dark chocolate and peanut butter chocolates.

Iā€™m so thankful for endings!

Parents, there’s no manual… We do the best we can; and, we all need to give one another grace.

Salted Caramel’s 5 Things Tuesday

3 Comments

Her question: If you could make 5 changes to the world, what would they be?

My answers:

  1. There would be houses bought up, with leans and loans paid, so homeless people could be off the street.
  2. Veterans would have unlimited access to therapists, professionals, and reintegrations resources.
  3. CEO’S would be required to work 20+ hours a week in their employees’ locations. This would produce leaders rather than bosses.
  4. Children and animal abuse would result in the harshest punishment allowed.
  5. Water and Air, anywhere, would be free.

What would this world look like if you had the opportunity to change 5 things?

What Do You See #171

Host post with details here

He was a proud man, a leader in every sense of the word. He wore the burdens of every generation before him; praying for the day when the load would lift, even alittle.

As nights became days, and the sun’s unmerciful rays called him back to the field.. He prayed, that the load would lift, even a little. Every torn that pricked his skin, every blister that formed upon his arms, the labor was far too much, for even a proud man.

The sun moved past twelve, the sun dial said so. He prayed his burden would lift, even alittle. The Good Lord was his saving Grace.. This his momma taught him… “You just gotta keep on doing what the Master’s say!” She would mind him. His momma had so much wisdom.

Then, one day, the most unusual thing happened. He was instructed to grab his things, and flee. There were wars inside the walls of the grand house… And His people risked the chance to gain freedom.

This statue is Mr Gregor, the bravest and most honorable man from Zumberhill Plantation. The missing parts of his body are said to be pieces he left in all that he touched… While the rest were the bare minimum of necessities, in his bag. He never minded giving so much of himself, for the Good Lord promised Streets of Gold… So he prayed, and prayed, for the lighter load.


Hope you enjoyed.

The image is of a cell phone text screen. On the screen poses the question, What would that one text message say? Below it is the traditional iPhone typing bubbles. Below that, in brackets, says The one you just canā€™t send.

Hereā€™s the host with details šŸ™‚ Hope youā€™ll join in this challenge!

Fun fact about me: I canā€™t STAND my feet wet! I can barely stand a bath or shower. When it comes to set sand, wet floors, public splash pads, nopeā€¦. I canā€™t handle it. Additionally, my legs were one of my favorite parts of my body.. until I had kids.

SOā€¦ letā€™s find some pretty, comfortable, dry legs and feet:

These are ones Iā€™ve gathered thus far in my life.

  1. Always keep some kind of structure in your life.
  2. Be kind to someone every day; start with yourself.
  3. Write it down! All of it!!
  4. Get rid of multiples. Do we really need 3 emails? (oh yes I have more than that!)
  5. Train your brain with Positivity! Self Talk, positive affirmations, whatever.
  6. Always pre- soak your laundry for at least 15 minutes.
  7. Ask God for the answer and expect to receive it.
  8. Listen so that others feel seen and heard.
  9. Make stuffā€¦ crafts, desserts, houses, jewelry, whatever.
  10. Always stay true to yourself, even when you take a great loss because of it.

HAPPY LUNER NEW YEAR šŸ‡ØšŸ‡³ Tons of prayers are going out to the families affected by the senseless shooting in California last night!

You never know where you’ll find alittle inspiration! Cheese = yummy!!!!

I was on TikTok today; and, I came across one particular video that sounded familiar. It was.. Because it was as if I had posted it, except from the male perspective. It referenced a man with a big heart… And how such a heart will contain BIG emotions… all of them will be big.

I didn’t hesitate to share the gift of knowledge with him. I mentioned what I understand was this type of person, and encouraged him to Google.

In actuality, I feel we’re all messangers. Nearly everything is for the purpose of your testimony. What you face, how you overcome, changes you make, ways you heal… It’s all for your story to make an impact on another life… And it will… If you share it.

….. And when you’re done writing your story…. And your book is complete, will people gather around and miss you? Will your children read at your funeral? (Well, you’ll be gone BUT… here’s hypothetically speaking!)

Lisa Marie Presley passed away the exact same way as her father. She’s been laid to rest in Graceland, beside her son, and not far from Elvis. This family has a legacy that’s timeless… One of imperfect people who lived and loved in the spotlight of the Press.

Here’s where you can see all the details of this celebration of her life.

OK well, time to play a game with my Calandra. Have a wonderful evening!

Speak Life,

Nova
