My Introduction

I am so happy to be able to share with others through blogging. It has been upon my heart for a long time to do this but had other commitments before making my first entry. I have had a couple of poems published and a short story for Chicken Soup for the Soul, although I am far from being proffessional. I just had a fire in me to come to you out there in places I only dream about, and share my thoughts with you.
I have had a difficult life with my health so I have had lots of time over the past couple of years to do what gives me air in my soul...write, write, and write! It has helped me set a great deal of inner pain free and has shown me that I had fear of things that were just a waste of time. There have been so many tragedies in our family which brought a heavy blanket of despair for a great many of us. My own personal hurts have been many, but, I have learned over the years that I would not be who I am today if I had not walked that walk. I can be insightful to others pain and feeling of loss. I am not saying "Thank you God for the painful events & experiences", but I say, "Thank you God for seeing me through it."
I have come a long way and I can relax within myself today because of my faith that God has placed me here on this earth for a purpose and I can't wait to see what it is and what it has been. One of the gifts He gave me was being able to sit and tend the dying. I took care of my Mother during her 3 month battle of cancer and I learned to be strong but something else happened too. I know that this walk on earth is only a lifetime for us all but I have seen enough people passing on that it is not always ugly or frightening. It always hurts, yes, but, there was something that happened to me when I crawled into bed with my "little mommy" and I sang to her as she took her last breath. it was so peaceful. After that experience I was called by the hospital to be with a few Senior Citizens who had no family and who were dying alone. Then, others got my name and sent for me.
I pray that this does not turn you away. I have so much to tell and I will continue this somewhat "diary" in hopes that you will make your comments or ask for prayer. I am a prayer warrior and am known to send "prayer emails". My fingers speak far more accurrately than my rambling mouth.
Blessings to you today...always...& forever
