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…”

WHAT A DAY

How do you celebrate holidays?

HOLIDAYS ARE FAMILY & FRIENDS TIME

Sit down for a moment is usually the thought after preparing for the day or the night of events.

The occasion makes it well worth it.

Spending time with family, friends, & FOOD!!!

Depending on the occasion, the menu is usually full of what everyone brought or bought.

Any occasion spending time with family members and friends makes time worth every second.

Smiles, laughter, & memories make it priceless.

With the reminder that not all of us are here to be seen or heard makes it even more precious.

The TIME we have together is unknown,

Therefore, there are some tears involved, from time to time.

Reminiscing about life…

Reflecting on lessons each of us has learned during the time apart helps fill the air with stories that help fill the air with emotions, which add value to every moment spent.

Recovering those lost to time refreshes their missing presence…

With a beautiful joy, we say hello with warm hugs,

Followed by Jabs to the ego as laughter spreads when your most embracing moments are shared by those closest to you.

The time is precious;

The reason to gather becomes bigger than the calendar date.

These moments remind us of the love we have anchored to us.

Family…

That’s what it really is about…

Whenever the pieces of your life come together in one place…

It’s the definition of a magic moment where…

Lost loved ones are resurrected with every recalled encounter…

We call to them when our thoughts run back to, DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN…?

Even writing this…

In our memories, our loved ones still exist…

Holiday…

What better occasion is there to see their smiles…

When we hear their voices…

When you reach the untouchable…

… Time has a sense of cruelty…

A double-edged sword…

Memories cords…

I think of these things as tears build in my eyes even know…

” DAMN I MISS YOU…”

My Family…

My friends…

These tears remind me…

I will see you again…

Until then, these occasions bring you back again…

I look up to the sky, knowing I will see you again…

CHERISH THE TIME YOU HAVE…

Every moment….

Every day….

As time ticks away…πŸ˜₯

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…

SELF WORTH

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

If I could, I would send a tip, tips, to my younger self.

#1 Let what people say against you roll off your shoulders.

#2 Realize there is a process for EVERYTHING.

#3 YOUR VOICE DOES MATTER, but there is more value in an attentive ear, paired with an Understanding mind…

#4 PATIENCE IS EVERYTHING

5# NEVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU, “YOU CAN’T DO…”

#6 BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, NOT IN THE OPINIONS OF YOUR PEERS… They’re just as confused as you…

#7 FEAR GOD AND LIVE LIFE FEARLESSLY.

#8 YOU ARE LOVED, MORE THAN YOU KNOW.

#9 TRAVEL MORE!!!!!

#10 TRAVEL OFTEN!!!!

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…

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,Β  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…

πŸ™πŸΎ

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.
