The story of Laila

2013-07-17T04:08:00-07:00

It's been awhile since I've blogged. I really want to get back to writing (I'm planning to write a book soon and blogging really helps me to process). There's so much to blog about!Recently we went on vacation to Dinkey Creek, CA. It is 60 miles outside of Fresno and 13 miles north of Shaver [...]

Living and Working… for Heaven

2013-06-18T19:13:00-07:00

I recently did a training for the Facilitators associated with Freedom From Grief. I started by talking about the "key" to success. Wouldn't it be nice to have money for all the times you've heard "this is the KEY to success". As if there is only one key, one way. I do, however; believe that [...]

The Other Side of Negative Thinking

2013-06-10T16:48:00-07:00

Again, it's been a little while since I've blogged. I've had so many ideas and topics that I've wanted to write about, yet, I've been putting off actually getting them out. There is a part of me that believes that I'm insignificant. That what I have to say doesn't really matter. It actually runs deeper [...]

The Mind and Body Connection

2013-05-28T17:54:00-07:00

As someone who has experienced my share of emotional turmoil, painful abuse, and a journey of healing and dealing with my past so that I can live in the present, I certainly understand the mind and body connection. I also see it in Grief Recovery. When people come through Grief Recovery and even get a [...]

Are you stuck?

2013-05-23T21:15:00-07:00

It's been a little while since I've blogged. I've felt blocked. Last week I started to write and nothing seemed to come out right. Usually when I write I don't think much about what I'm putting down. I just start typing and everything sort of comes out. Lately that hasn't happened. It's felt like work. [...]

Forgiveness is layered

2013-05-13T23:59:00-07:00

I never imagined that a journey of forgiveness would take me to many places. Have so many peaks and valleys and be one of the deepest things I've ever learned and something I know so little about. At times it eludes me. I like to have a beginning and an end to any part of [...]

The gift of receiving…

2013-05-07T20:18:00-07:00

On Saturday, we had our last class and celebration for the Grief Recovery Graphing God class. It was an incredible class and an intense four weeks. At the end, we celebrated with food and sharing. As people were finishing their meals, one of the participants stood up and spoke. He acknowledged me for the intensity [...]

Detox – Almost Done!

2013-05-03T19:34:00-07:00

I am on day 19 of my 21 day detox. What a journey this has been. Next week I wills start to add foods back in to my diet and hit the gym perhaps 3 days. I've only been able to hike during these past few weeks and even that was almost too much. My [...]

Things are not always as they seem…

2013-05-02T20:35:00-07:00

Things are not always as they seem. It's intense if you think about it. I recently had an experience with a good friend. Someone I love and admire. It's a mutual feeling. We have known each other for several years and have been in each others lives.I had an experience with her where I began [...]

Attachment

2013-04-30T19:05:00-07:00

Today I got to pick PeeWee up from the vet after his surgery yesterday. He was so happy to see me and he seemed to be doing really well. As I am quite attached to this little guy I was very grateful. There was a chance that he would have a hard time waking up [...]
