Bio

Hello.  I have dealt personally with ADHD, addiction, marriage difficulty and loss of family members. I have experience dealing with family members with mental illness.

Have you felt that in one little moment, it all implodes. Know that in this painful moment, "This is Not Everything You Are"

The reason I am here is summed up by Frank Turner song lyrics:

Life is about love, last minutes and lost evenings,
about fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings,
and the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering,
and help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live.

Is your past like the saying: "everything that I have ever loved and had to let go of has claw marks."  Let's chat about how to let go of the past for a brighter tomorrow.

Moving On With Forgiveness And Trust
Relationship Stress / by TiredWithJoy
Last post
 December 20th, 2015
...See more Were you hurt so bad that you could never truly love again? Has the hurt created a prison for you? Perhaps you have been criticized by others and yourself until you are to the point you don't feel worthy of love. I think the song lyrics from Desperado by the Eagles are really powerful about describing the pain of never getting over a breakup with forgiveness. There is no freedom. Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin' Your prison is walking through this world all alone The end of the song is really telling. If we never had freedom and trust, we can never move on and fully enjoy life. Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? Come down from your fences, open the gate It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you (let somebody love you) You better let somebody love you before it's too late If it has been years or decades since you let somebody love you, it is time to move on. It is easier to say than do, but it is sill true.
