NEVER LOSE HOPE…

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

Feeling hopeless and ready to give up on Life itself…

I received the most powerful & simplest encouragement that literally changed my entire outlook…

“As long as you are alive.., There is always Hope…” – Apostle M. Waller

I dont even think my pasture knew at the time how that simple statement changed everything for me.

SPIRITUAL PILLARS:

FAITH brings the initial belief

HOPE SEALS THAT BELIEF

LOVE IS THE GREATEST, for GOD IS LOVE

HOPE NEVER FAILS

HOPE NEVER DISAPPOINTS

HOPE NEVER QUITS…

Hope is not a wish…

Hope is not a faint breeze riding wishful thinking.

REAL HOPE is sure…

HOPE SAVED MY LIFE…

And here I stand today as tangible evidence of these simple wise words…

“AS LONG AS YOU ARE ALIVE..,

There is always HOPE…”

LIFE WITHOUT MUSIC?

What would your life be like without music?

I can’t even imagine life without music.

Life without music…

One of the greatest creations Man has developed into art.

We express so much through our music, whatever the genre is.

Our joy, love. Pain…. memories, all captured by melodies in harmony played through instruments.

Musical instruments that have been discovered date back to the early days of mankind, ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Music is in our DNA…

A World without music…

Is a world without expression, beauty, and emotion.

I can’t even imagine what that world would look like or sound like…

So, BLAST your favorite song!

Sing it loud!

Play your steering wheel drumset, lol

Music is a universe of limitless creation of colorful emotions, feelings,

Escape!

DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME

Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail.

BACK IN MY SINGLE DAYS LOL

My roommate and I decided that RAMEN NOODLES would be a good substitute for Spegetti pasta….

….it wasn’t…

EPIC FAIL

Turned into an interesting tomato soup at the end…

Yes, it was as bad as it sounds…

I dont recommend it at ALL…

But desperate times call for desperate measures…

That was a little too desperate, though lol…

Hmmm…

Do you see yourself as a leader?

Interestingly, a leadership role hasnt been the #1 attraction.

I think a leader doesn’t look for the leadership spot.

I think it’s a natural gravitation towards the position.

It’s a need to fill the areas that are lacking in the things which are concerning.

Leadership comes from a genuine desire to serve.

A need to see equity and justice served correctly.

It is a determination to see “it” done.

An, “If you want it, done right,

DO IT YOURSELF” mentality.

Do I see myself in this light…?

We will see…

MEMOIRS OF A BLUE PHOENIX

CHAPTER-

There are days when it’s not all bad…

Dealing with multiple sclerosis,

Plus, dealing with the trials of the day

make it that much more valuable;

when you get days where you feel

Somewhat Normal.

Im still on a mission to find a cure to defeat this adversary once and, truly, for ALL.

A cure for me & all who are walking this path with me…

It’s a different perspective on life when you are confronted with your own mortality.

It’s a festering thought in the back of the mind,

Taunting & Cruel,

Reminding you that you are on borrowed time…

Still..,

That is overcome by the love I have surrounding me, reminding me that all is not lost.

As it was said to me by my spiritual mentor, ” As long as you are alive, there is always Hope…” – Apostle M. Waller

HOPE is my Anchor in this Storm.

An anchor held firmly in my grip…

HOPE, everlasting…

Imagine that….

What does your ideal home look like?

Wish list:

Main floor, basement, second floor, home office, home theater – and I mean real deal home theater with Popcorn & candy.

Has to be by water, a private community lake, or ocean front above Sea level property.

There are plenty of rooms for family and friends.

JACUZZI

SPA

Outdoor FULL ENTERTAINMENT SPACE

And a garage leaking Horsepower!

With a racetrack… mmm… Driveway, with 3 elevation changes, simulating A JAPANESE TOGUE RALLY COURSE!

….

That’s a good start…😎

MEMOIRS OF A BLUE PHOENIX

CHAPTER….

Well,

These last few days have been…

Well,

Depression is REAL…

It’s hard at times to find your way out.

By Gods grace, I have a strong support circle who is here to lift me up and keep me afloat.

It is TRUE

“TEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK”

I hope and pray you have the same

strength with in you, as well as around  you.

Keep pushing forward,  learn the lesson of the day & move towards the next adventure.

LIFE is a one-time experience…

Dont spend it in the Dark of Depression…

THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO DISCOVER,

Not only in life,

but..,

Within yourself as well…

Besides…

Quitting has NEVER been an option…

🙏🏾

MEMOIRS OF A BLUE PHOENIX CONTINUES….

At the start of the day, many can attest to this. There is a gloomy cloud over your head to greet you…

For those who may not understand,

The battle with depression is REAL…

Multiple sclerosis brings its own burden with it, and then you compound adulting on top of that!

It’s a real struggle.

There is a reason we wave the MS WARRIORS banner.

This is a real Fight for your Life.

A fight to retain who you are while staying a float mentality.

This is not for the faint of heart…

Multiple sclerosis will reveal what kind of heart you have.

WARRIORS LIVE HERE 💪🏾

TO WIN IS THE ONLY OBJECTIVE…
