Hey there!  

I checked my You Tube account, and Jesus Revolution doesn't drop until April 11th! BOOOOOO!!!

I  prayed today begging God to keep people away from me, who speak bad tidings and basic negativity.  It's beginning to make me so ANGRY.  I just want to live my life as I always have: happy, joyous and free.  :)

On a positive note, I guess God is using his sandpaper to make me a better person.  He is sending me the sand paper people. Loving God is not so much about being a good person so you can get into Heaven.  It's about a daily progression of learning and understanding better concepts on how to treat ourselves and others. 

Walking with God is learning to live by higher standards because this world in and of itself is a depraved place to be.  

My senior pastor (RIP) once said that we will never know the depravity God rescued us from.  I have forgotten most of the depravity God rescued me from. My mind has been renewed.

Anyway, I have to get ready for Good Friday service with hubby John.  

If nobody told you that they love you today, know that I love you.

Bye for now! ;)

 Hey there! Wow, this month has been a whirlwind of my former friends depression and fear!  I couldn't log anymore entries this month because I was severely depressed.  Then I realized the root of my depression.  I came to believe that it was the constant streaming of different channels.  I was becoming addicted to them hoping to distract myself from my moods.   While I think streaming is convenient and awesome, I was abusing it to lift my moods. The time I could have spent writing my book or blogging I instead spent on entertaining fears and depression.   I'm holding off on my book and Web site in lieu of getting-out-of-my comfort zone activities, like getting out of bed during the day to pray for God's will in my life.   When I hear His answers, I will resume less important activities. I might even reconsider going back to my streaming TV, but I want to be in a better space to do so. I reduced my watching to only one channel and m...

 Happy December! There is much to unpack here as there have been some new developments in my life this past November.  Let's just say that  I will have so much more to add to I Dream of Purple Skies , my book of memoirs and poetry.  It's going to be a book that is so much more than living and coping with mental illness and how I observe our fallen world through a mentally ill lens.  It's going to be a book about recovery, redemption and coming full circle.  It's going to be a book about intrigue and healing as I have begun slowly uncovering the lies I was told growing up about mental illness and distorted images I was given about my life. This book is going to be mostly about learning to love unconditionally and learning how to forgive human foibles in order to walk into a better, brighter and healthier future no matter what your age. You will notice on my Facebook page how I use it as a cathartic tool in dealing with my mental illness with an edgy sarcasm ...

 Hey there! Sorry I haven't been around lately.  I  was kinda going through a depressive phase.  Sleeping a lot.  Only concerned about hygiene when I had to go to work. I don't know really what triggered it.  Been feeling exhausted lately.  But since then I've been on the proper dosage of medicine.  It took a minute, but I got there.   Now I'm bathing and even applying makeup just because. It had much to do with God's guidance, getting involved in volunteer projects at church and much praying to God to help me get out of bed. I'm not getting involved in my husband's business or all up into the cracks of what is not mine.  My last depressive phase lasted about 2 months.  Ugh. I lost my appetite and dropped weight, I didn't think I would look good in makeup anymore . Then slowly, day by day I started getting out of bed earlier and earlier.  I got my hair done, I applied makeup and thought: " not too bad for almost 53." My hu...
