Living Our Best Life – fear
Fear, just typing out this word makes me feel anxious. It is an emotion that I struggle with on a continuous basis.
I am sure there are many of you who live with a chronic illness 24/7 who are also in the same boat, and it is not a cruise or a party boat. Instead, it is one that you fear may sink, capsize, or may not make it to your preferred destination.
So my question for you today is, IF you experience fear, how do you handle this emotion?
As always, thank you so very much for stopping by today. I appreciate each and EVERY one of you who visit here, you are a blessing.

Hello wonderful human beings.
My question for you today is a simple one. Although I try to keep things upbeat, I have learned through a lot of trial and error that in order for me to heal to the best of my ability, I must first accept my present situation and go from there. So, my question for you today is, “What has been the most difficult thing for you to accept on your chronic journey?”
~ Thank you for stopping by to visit and your willingness to share part of your journey.

life has a way of leaving us with scars…….well traveled paths embedded into our brains dictating to us how we view and experience life, how we see ourselves and the way we react to life’s experiences.
many times we are not even conscious of these thoughts…….they have been implanted, taught or rehearsed over many years………
much like the sand, the wind manipulates by force how to display itself with out even asking for permission…..
today, I am sending out a gentle reminding that YOU have feet, you CAN move in a positive direction, you can begin to CHANGE your thoughts, beliefs, desires, and choices………only you can take away the power of the past.

Don’t allow your body to physically trap your mind
Your body may hold you back at times but that does not mean your mind must stay in the cage
Allow your thoughts to go free
Free to soar above the pain, confusion, and fear
Free to see yourself from an unanchored perspective
Where the beauty is abundant
Would you like a letter?

As many of us around the world are in isolation, it feels very surreal to me. Even though I spend more time at home then most people, it still feels odd not to be able to freely move around my little neck-of-the-woods when I am able.
Thank goodness for the ability to connect with others through our beloved wifi. It is such a blessing to still feel close to those we are not able to spend time with.
But, I have to admit, I have always enjoyed receiving a real letter in the mail. There is something special knowing that someone took the time and energy to sit down and write out a note just for you.
So, if you feel this way too, please let me know. I would be thrilled to send you a letter, even if you live on the other side of the world. I don’t want people feeling isolated from real contact. I know a letter is not real contact but I feel it is a bit more personal than a text or a response on a post.
Please do NOT leave your address in the comment section but instead send me a message through my contact page. If you do not hear back from me in 48 hours, I did not receive you message and please try again.
Please know I care about each and everyone of you.

With all the stressful things going on around the world, it takes a huge toll on our minds and therefore our bodies. Those of us who live with chronic illnesses have very legitimate reasons to be concerned. But instead on dwelling on the scary, we are going to focus on one postive thing we can do today to bring about contentment, joy, relaxation, or any feeling that is the opposite from the ball of stress you may have rolling around inside you.
So, my question for today is, “What is one thing you can do this very day to allow yourself to feel at ease in the world, even for a little while?”
~ I am praying for every single one of you beautifully amazing people, now go be amazing, even if it is from the four walls of your room.
