Tuesday, 2/16/21 This post could contain triggers for some people. Fantasy is one of the ways Grace would survive hell.. On the left side of the page is an example of what would actually happen. On the right side of the page is an example of the fantasy my psyche would simultaneously conjure up to… Continue reading Reality Vs. Fantasy

Friday, 2/12/21 Good Day, Beautiful You!  Glad you’re here1   First of all, in last Tuesday’s post I wrote about falling too far to be redeemed as far as Great Guy is concerned, and I can feel that way in other areas in life, too. I’ll think I’ve waited too long, wasn’t good enough and/or… Continue reading I Confess, I Dare to Still Believe

Tuesday, 2/9/21 If you’re new to the blog and wonder who Great Guy (GG) is, well, he’s written about quite frequently because he’s been one of my greatest life teachers whether he wanted to be or not. He’s a good man and most of the things learned about myself because of him have been difficult… Continue reading Casualties of Hope and a Heart That Was Not Yet Healed Enough

Friday, 2/5/21 Howdy! Glad to meet with you! I was walking along the shoreline one day when I saw these trees on their own little islet. I imagined them as two beings that were stripped bare and living in a grey desolate place yet they’re still raising their limbs with joy, in defiance of their… Continue reading Joyous Desolation

Tuesday 2/2/21 (For brief explanations about ‘Grace’ and the fractured parts of my psyche, please see the post “Dissociation” dated 10/14/20, or ‘Cast of Characters In My Mind’ tab on the Home Page) Hi, how are you doing today?  I hope you had some good times this past weekend? Knowing I am going to write… Continue reading Introduction to ‘Grace’s Era’ of Childhood

Fri 1/29/21 Welcome! Good to meet with you! Here’s one more thought about hope that was previously written for my GLP group . . . A beautiful place in Tennessee called Onsite Workshops, a personal growth/emotional wellness retreat center, offered a 30 day online version of their most popular workshop called ‘Living Centered’.  Because of… Continue reading Open Handed Hope

Tues. 1/26/21 Aloha! Do you, too, think that’s a beautiful greeting?  What’s a word that helps you to feel welcomed?    As mentioned in previous posts, I am getting in touch with my emotions on increasingly deeper levels.  It’s been quite a wild ride!  The ‘pendulum effect’ has been in full swing (pun intended:)) so… Continue reading Becoming Sensitized

Fri. 1/22/21 Hi!  How is your day going?  Here’s another prayer I wrote for the GLP group.  This month’s theme is ‘Hope For New Beginnings’.  We gotta keep our hope up!   (There’s a personal observation before the prayer.) Lord knows, I’m all for New Beginnings.  So why is it I dread change?  Does it… Continue reading New Beginnings

Tues. 1/19/21 Welcome! Thank you for being here – always happy to meet with you. I mentioned in a recent post about how the depth of what I am actually feeling has been deepening substantially lately, and wow!  It’s a good God thing, I know, but who knew (well you, probably!) how much emotion one… Continue reading Faith Prevails

Friday, 1/15/21 Howdy, glad you could be here! Apparently the ‘Hope’ theme lasted quite awhile for the prayers I wrote for the GLP group  mentioned in an earlier post.  That’s good because I write and/or post what I have to express, learn, or need to be reminded of.  This past week had memories emerging and… Continue reading More Hope!
