ALAFIA from Charleston SC!!!! A blessed day indeed as todays significance really hits home. Yep... Im still in whites and about to change into another set to go out.. I laugh because my schedule normally isnt this busy so Ive really had to plan how I rest. Though I work very hard to not use this word there are many times when brought to my knees or unable to complete simple tasks that I must admit that Ive been put out to pasture; Work related disability. Being of stubborn head, I forced my body to continue to work and ending up damaging it more.. when we overcompensate we do harm. Thus Charleston SC ... degenerative issues have caused me to seek weather where I can actually LIVE instead of survive. There are many who have solo roads, we are Ambassadors. Its out faith which sustains us... someone once asked.. how do I get what you have???? You know he would not have wanted to go down that road. I work very hard at being happy. It is possibly the one tangible aspect of my life that I have control over. my emotions.. peace of mind. When they are in check.. balanced and appreciative of the flowers that bloom in December (this is the South) then there is less pain to deal with. It took a lot to eliminate worry and stress from my daily life... yet my LIFE depended on it. How do you face the unknown .. with the certainty that your FAITH will carry you through. When I first arrived here in Charleston I went straight into a homeless shelter.. I knew no one here. I was physically healed from the scar you see on my left cheek, what we now call my blessing... Yet most of my light work has been in dark places... You never know what will be your flight moment... for me it was spilled blood.. which I dreamed about 3 days prior... some things in life.. you have to walk through... See when you come out on the other side.. youve gained so much strength and yes your faith, no matter what sustained you..... I was thinking about it this morning... guess thats why I posted so early... a lot of times Im on Egun time... !!! I wore white at the shelter as much as possible... I wear white whenever I step into the churches here... I dont care whose church it is... I dont care what Sunday it is... Im wearing white... An Evangelist said one Sunday from the pulpit We dont ask this Sister WHY she wears white and it aint even First Sunday ... I over document life at this time because for a long time... I did not have the capabilities that I have now... and technology caught up to my needs. I continually pray for adaptive and assistive technologies that will provide a means to continued productivity in the home and life in general for those who they know one day there are many more simple things that they wont be able to do for themselves. My Voice is whats left... not to sing though... soon I wont hold the cameras anymore .. but hopefully my voice will always be intact. I have to maintain faith that I will continue to be practical yet imaginative about my living and lifestyle .. they wont even take me back in occupational therapy.. When the medical profession says... just continue doing what you do for as long as you can because we can do nothing for you but meds... Heck yeah you go deep... I used to self medicate .. yet Ive eliminated the need.. I chose LIFE ... lets put it this way... my Zarabanda name suits me!!! B| I need for people for find that overall internal peace which allows them to face living hell with serenity. Its that simple. Peace...may we all receive our particular healing!!!! 1
