Special Dedication

This is a very special dedication to the man I love more than my life. Through good and bad I have never doubted that my heart belongs to you. No matter what life brings, I will not turn away. You complete me and embody the truth that love never fails. When it is true nothing and no one can break it. To David, When I first met you I felt like I had known you forever, telling you my secrets and what I didn't want ever. you listened to me I bet you thought I'd never end, who would have thought we would become more than just friends. Over a period of time, I got to know the real you. A man so caring and gentle, with a heart so true. You've survived your life with hurt and loneliness by your side. I told you I'd never leave because of the feelings I have inside. I know you like no one I have ever known, and sometimes I wonder what I'd do if you were gone? So I have decided time answers all. If it is meant to be time will remove the wa...

Listen with you Heart for a change

Listen with you Heart for a change....not to your heart but with it and you would be surprised at what you can hear...truly You know that your heart can quickly see, far away and clearly; especially those of the spiritual world. You see this especially in the spiritual things, where many things can be perceived only by faith, by the sight of the heart. The heart is the eyesight of our being. The cleaner it is the further, quicker and clearer it sees. The eye of saints of God has reached the ultimate stage of purity available to human in the spirituality since the lifetime, and after death, when they united with God, their ability of seeing became clearer, more comprehensive, by divine grace. That’s why the saints can see very clearly, comprehensively and deeply. They see our spiritual needs. They see and hear all those who call them from heart, namely all those whose inner eyes are turned toward them and who don’t doubt or believe, who are in despair and darkness. When they...

Carry Your Cross

I’m so afraid of suffering. I’m afraid even of the most insignificant pain. To me, being cold is the most terrifying physical pain, to others is the toothache. Loneliness itself can be often felt as a physical pain, but whatever suffering would be like, it does not comfort anyone. We are aware of the fact that if we want the Resurrection, we have to pass over the burden of carrying the Cross as the Lord Christ Himself did. But is this indispensable for everyone? Is there a way to reach salvation without suffering? Father Seraphim Rose said: ”We, those who call ourselves Christians, have to wait nothing but being crucified. Cause, being a Christian means being crucified now and any other time since Christ has come for the first time. (…)And our crucifixion must be exposed, so that anyone could see it, because the Kingdom of Christ is not from this world, and neither the world nor even only one exponent of it can receive it, not even for a moment.” I wonder what is the me...

Tantrums

Why do we yell and hurt each other when we fight or argue? Is it as some think that we are passionate and if we don’t yell we don’t care? I have even heard that a good argument is great and healthy for a relationship. So, my question remains…why do we yell when the other person is right next to us? I have been thinking on this a lot and it took a lot of researching for the answer to find it. I know I do it too, yell when I’m angry. I do it to my fiancĂ©e and to my daughter, friends, you name it. When anger hits I am off the hook and can’t see rhyme or reason and first natural reaction is to yell. Why? It makes me feel better, that the other person can hear me and I’m getting all of my frustration out. But am I really? No. The only thing I accomplish is to anger myself even more. When I am angry, I also take what I lovingly call cheap shots. You know little remarks that you know will affect the other person negatively. Yet, you do it anyways because it gives you temporary pleasure. A...

Happy New Year!

Hello, I want to make this entry a little personal while giving some things to think about. I read this on a post someone sent me and man, did it slap me in the face. Here goes: "When we said 'I wish you enough' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them". I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye. They say it takes a minute to find a special person. An hour to appreciate them. A day to love them. And an entire life to forget them. Think about this next time we meet another person, hang out with people or go shopping...in your everyday activities. ...
