love – Joyful Healing, Dogs and Quilts

When…

When did you stop loving me? It was before that humiliating incident with the music box, I know that. I remember gushing about the sweet words on; I was your partner and you loved me. You quickly corrected me. The words meant nothing. You just bought it for the music. I was embarrassed, crushed andContinue reading “When…”

Grandmother

As I read an article on Facebook yesterday, I realized my grandmother was no healthier than my mom. When my parents moved from St. Louis, I begged to stay with my aunt. I didn’t want to go to my grandparents. I had a job and could have supported myself but my father refused; he madeContinue reading “Grandmother”

Overwhelmed?!!! Nope!

Last night, I talked to my stepson and grandkids. They are in the process of selling a home and moving and working two and a half jobs. My husband and I can help so we are going down on September 9th. Then we will come home and go back a couple of weeks later toContinue reading “Overwhelmed?!!! Nope!”

More Moving

Came home and did cleaning and more moving and tossing. No progress tonight as far as I can see but it will get better. Yesterday, I found a beautiful light fixture a friend gave me. I hate electrical work but youtube to the rescue! (Again). I am going to wire it for a plug in.Continue reading “More Moving”

Progress but loves needed

I made progress on moving furniture today. Sadly, one piece is too water damaged to second hand. We have a roof leak that defies fixing. Everything will now be in plastic boxes. Tigger feels there was not enough cuddles today so he took my lap. I’m too tired to argue and he always brings meContinue reading “Progress but loves needed”

The Ones We Marry

I read once we become involved with people most like the parent we had the most trouble with if we aren’t healed. And, once we heal, it can put great strain on our relationship if the partner sees no issue with their behavior towards us. I am there. My husband is disabled. The women heContinue reading “The Ones We Marry”

Let’s Get Something Done

Tomorrow is the day my friend is coming to help clean and organize things. Mostly bookcases this time. Will move a few things to storage on Thursday. If we can get that done, I can work on the bedroom bit by bit over the weekend as we work on the bathroom. My friend is thisContinue reading “Let’s Get Something Done”

Joyful Healing and Blessings

Tonight I am reflecting on the weekend. I have worked my backside off but I have also had so much love and support come my way that I have stopped and had some happy tears. My cousins have become my cheerleaders. I had no idea I could love them as much as I do. MyContinue reading “Joyful Healing and Blessings”

Scattered

I started today scattered but I didn’t let that stop me. I had help and we loaded the car and he moved a bunch of stuff to other locations including trash. I got a shelf down and am ready to move a dresser tomorrow. I looked around and things are a mess but I alsoContinue reading “Scattered”

Freedom and Love

As I am working and feeling this amazing freedom from junk, it has then this morphed in healing in other parts of my life. Today when I realizing I was repeating patterns that were equally known and destructive I knew I needed to change life dramatically. From stupid things like feeling happy when I buyContinue reading “Freedom and Love”
