EMBRACE THE COLORS!



TODAY I HAVE ON
WARPAINT OF
THE RAINBOW


Saturday Morning, here waiting on the sun!
Coffee in hand; the four-leggeds are running and barking and celebrating in the darkest hours waiting for the light!

Chris will be waking up in her daughter's home in NY, home from the hospital, having left
"the girls"
ready to heal, ready to embrace the day, to exercise those arms, and regain her strength for the coming days!
She is probably making her bed and wishing she could 
S T O M P

I think she will soon, knowing she is taking but 1 percocet for pain, knowing she is a WARRIOR,
knowing she has some wild angels right beside her!

*

I'm burning the sage and some other good stuff (can't mention) ~ I've got my warpaint of rainbows on today, having heard from several pals that they have recent diagnosis, having heard from my special Jilly of her recurrence ~
of others (can't tell ya)

Lily the Black Bear and baby HOPE are up to some wonderful tricks http://www.bear.org/
Lily is even seen in a picture with a blue ribbon on!
She too is wearing her "colors", engaged in her fight with an adopted "auntie" to give bear spirit and strength. Cancer better run for the ocean as the "bear clan"
is hot on its tail ~

Friends DO NOT let friends battle Cancer alone. 
Did I mention:
CANCER SUCKS!

/ /^ \ \ \



So I'm thinkin' ... aren't we glad and blessed we have those men and women fighting with all they've got to keep our rights of free speech, our abilities to lay down in a soft or firm bed at night, to go out to dinner tonight and celebrate a brilliant sunset?
We are so richly blessed!

So how bout it... let's STOMP TODAY...
STOMP FOR THOSE WE KNOW, THOSE WE DON'T KNOW WHO ARE FIGHTING FOR US,
THOSE WHO ARE FIGHTING CANCER,
THOSE WHO ARE FIGHTING A BATTLE WE CANNOT SEE,
THOSE WHO ARE MISERABLE AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CHANGE,
THOSE WHO DECIDE TO STAY AT THE FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN,
THOSE WHO MADE THE PAINFUL DECISION TO MOVE ON AFTER TALKING, PRAYING, HOPING AND WISHING THEY COULD HELP THE OTHER PERSON TO MOVE TOO,
THOSE WHO ARE DOING WHATEVER IT IS THEY ARE DOING AND HAPPY WITH THE CHOICE


LET'S STOMP, DANCE, LIVE, LOVE, FEEL

Healing Heartaches, Stories of Loss and Life
continues to be read by many, yes I continue to be blessed in receiving many emails and reviews by the "true experts", those who have walked the walk, and know the journey from the darkness and now are wanting to or have gone into the light of life again differently.

~ ~ ~

As Dr Seuss would say, and I like to say often,
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"

Wishing you the best Saturday ever, don't take any wooden nickels along the way! Tarpon Springs Florida is having a wicked arts and crafts show today! 

I invite you to visit my website; great reads there, great resources too!

Chris: NO stomping, no cleaning!!!
Jilly: We are with you,
FYI: Lily the Black Bear and Hope have more than 91,000 fans now on Facebook!
Joe G. almost time to get that nerve fixed!

I am richly blessed to roll with some powerful angels on this side and "the other-side" from the teeniest to the elders...
And for that I give thanks! And So It Is...

The Fire is hot, the embers ablaze for so many,
may you find some comfort in that.

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, have the time of your life!

Remember Dale Carnegie?
"Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours

Wish I would have said that... haha
Guess living it is just as good though ~

Walk In Beauty

Healing Heartaches is available at the above website, also available at Amazon, Borders and Infinity Publishing

Be happy, make this a day you will remember.

Relay for LIFE, the colors of rainbow ribbons.
My neice and friend are walking this weekend,
fund raiser for the Cancer cause ( it sucks)
Hey there Chris, if the wrinkled bed was irking
you and you did something about it, you are
strong, determined and focused. Like Sherry
says, BREATHE, STOMP and come-on home ASAP.
Chamber of commerce weather here in Fla.
Spring breakers & traffic obvious.
Makin' in count today & always, FIRM

ok you got me with all those comments of the picture perfect weather--it's is the frozen tundra again up here. why not make the bed??--i had a messy bed and I fixed it--big dea,l at least I had a bed--some people don't have that. And some people are so sick they can't move--I don't have that either. See, God knows what he is doing! He gave me lemons and I worked with them. It's the unltimate challenge. HAPPY SATURDAY EVERYONE!!

YES, God does know what HE/SHE is doing.
After all of yesterday's false accusations,
she is being a tad bit wiser about what she shares.
Thank you for not sharing certain things, much better than expoliting people.
Thank you protecting other's privacy and not telling us everything.

I have seen your face "Circle of Grief" Be warned that Karma is HELL. You need to get your own material. Stealing thoughts and phrases from Dr. Showalter and her book is pathetic.
Is your own head so empty that you must pretend the thoughts of others, especially someone so well respected and knowledgeable as Dr. Showalter are your own is very transparent. Get a life of your own.You must really have serious mental health problems if your think YOU are in any way shape or form a good source of advice to people who have grief issues, or any other issues for that matter. You are the one who made all those stupid petty remarks on the blog and ran like hell when were called out by readers. One week you haven't had human contact in months, the next you are a wannabe community organizer, so now you are a widow who hasn't made an inch of progress from the death of your husband six years ago and are thinking YOU can lead other to heal? Are you Cybil? So now you consider yourself an expert on what? I know the internet provides everyone an opportunity to say whatever they want but you are an excellent example of why people should know a bit more about the Charlatans on the web that fake expertise.Karma is a real bitch and it will come back to bite you in the ass. I don't know whether to pity you, or expose you. I know that you will over time expose yourself for the fruitcake you are.
People are not as stupid as you think. A word to the wise.
You need to do some serious soul searching. You are poison. People should absolutely steer clear of you, just in case some of your insanity rubs off on others.
Sincerely,
NOT A FAN

The post at 8:57 is confusing

Who is the Pretender?

If you are referring the lunatic, why dosn't someone report the fruitcake's page.

Who on Earth is the Pretender?

Thanks for explaining Jaren's Mother
