The Real Disability- Part 1


The Real Disability-Part 1

               How do I start?  Normally I’d start by saying:  “I’m tired”!  Yet, I’m not tired…..I’m inspired!  Inspired to learn all I can and share all I know about being loved, hurt, smart, creative, dumb, happy, sad, and any other emotion a real human can experience.  Sharing can help.  Shame and secrets hurt!  Aren’t there enough examples of the shame and secrets in the media? 

               Often hearing I’m too young to be experiencing the things I have and still do, leave men speechless.  No doctor has the answer, no friends have the remedy, no bottle is deep enough and no drug continuously takes anyone that high.  The last 10 years of my life have been one challenge after another.  Trying to give up over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over Ha! Ha! Ha! And over and over, NEVER WORKED!  Don’t give up!  It’s not an option if there is a destiny for your life…alive!  As I watched the “Iverson” documentary on Netflix, I saw injustice in a community and saw the injustice in the world all at the same time.  All of us make mistakes.  How we deal with the consequences of our mistakes, gives us character.  Someone is always watching, especially in our social media crazed world.  Our children, soon to take care of us in our old age, are watching.  Can I tell my nieces, nephews, little cousins, clients and friends: when you work ALL your life on middle to semi high income, your income will be cut in half once you retire; plus, most of your money will go to medication, doctor visits, bills and sometimes food?  I do not feel comfortable nor do I want to tell people I love that!  Do you? 

               No one is perfect financially, including me.  Still, it’s very difficult for good people, with good intentions, a good heart and some mistakes, to get a break.  The services, assistance and information are vague and designated for only certain parts of the world.  There are also a large number of requirements for some programs many do not qualify for.  The extensive application requirements and time spent applying to get turned down, may discourage people from applying in the future.  Those who don’t qualify and/or are rejected will be left without help and struggling.  Let’s change this one community at a time.  In future blogs, I will address more health conditions, resources as well as treatments.  Again, my objective is to shed light, give an understanding word and encourage our youth to be all they can be.  Feel free to comment, ask questions or share this blog to others.  A disability does not make you less of a person and no one should be made to feel that way.

Social Media and Our Own Values

     The television, computer, cell phone and advertising media has changed the belief system for some Americans.  There are schools across the world teaching computer technology (with social media examples) over religion, cultural differences and unity among all.  Additionally, people are more exposed to the harshness of reality and mimicking what they see.  How do people see more violence, hatred, body shaming, drug abuse/overdoses, money glorification and sexual immorality?  Mostly through the media!      The stories about Serena Williams and Les Moonves (CBS former CEO and Executive) have taken  over the social media scene this past weekend.  They have crossed all different topics such as race relations, sports, history, women's rights, violence, sexuality, embarrassment, LOVE, RESPECT, honesty, fear, acknowledgment, trust, lies, misconduct, power abuse, working class, sexual aggression, family, mother/daug...

Are politics being run by fame, notoriety and wealth?

Are politics being run by fame, notoriety and wealth?                                                 The world today is different compared to just a year ago.   Everyone seems to be touchy and sensitive about everything.   Some people are marching just to be marching with their friends, not knowing the true cause. If a celebrity is doing it, he/she is more likely, going to have a following.   The fame, notoriety and wealth status has led to the election of our most recent president.   Realistically, hos moral character was not a factor relating to his election!   The more fame he gained from his political fight came from the misconception about his many business ventures.   Highlighting the word misconception because majority of pe...

Childless Rain

There is nothing like the sound of a tear-filled rain Every single drop causes more and more pain My heart is weighed heavy on my soul No one will ever know how that conversation took its toll The sun never shined the way it did that day One more trip to the doctor To hear what she had to say Oh my God She didn't She said it Just like that What was I to do Or cry with Now that I'm alone I hear nothing Dead silence Except for the rain There is nothing like the sound of a tear-filled rain Every single drop causes more and more pain My heart is weighed heavy on my soul No one will ever know how that conversation took its toll I tried to open my eyes But only see a dark image of me The rain was running down the window With every drop My heart sank I knew it would be over Dreams of a family Stay strong they say Oh really Says the mother of three Her trails and tribulations No way that was me Our stories are not the same Don't try to make ...
