A mystery to myself even, I’m a thirty something woman with an eye for beauty in a world of forgotten glory. My simple desire is to bring warmth to people whose doorsteps are darkened by despair. To those who are caught in the spiral of recovery and relapse, for whose who are tired before most people even begin a day at work, for whom the act of starting another day is
battle enough to make them want to beat a retreat back to the solitude of a single room.
Recovering from illness or addiction of any kind is exhausting. Watching loved ones try and fail takes its toll.
This author wants to create a small corner of the web which gives the message that all hope is not lost. You have not been forgotten. It is never too late. There is ALWAYS a light at the end of the tunnel, despite the fact you may not be able to see it.
Most importantly,
“with all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.” EhrmannÂ

I read some of your work. Nice. I see you are following me and thought you might want to read an inspirational blog on my grandson, Michael. He survived brain cancer at the age of two. Check it out and let me know what you think of the story.

I find your blog very inspiring and informative. Mental health awareness needs to be just as important as your physical well-being.

Thanks so much girlychristina. I agree that mental health is just as important. So often it is undermined because it is not something that is visible, tangible.
Thank you for stopping by.

And those suffering with mental illness or brain injury often do not look ill at all. Thank you so much for writing. Even if it is difficult for the sufferers to read these types of stories certainly they are helpful for those caring for them. Keep sharing.

Servant of charity – Thanks for stopping by. Your webpage looks amazing and inspirational. I write from a very strange perspective having watched a loved one suffer for years, and now finding myself tangled and bound by the very same illness.
I don’t know which is worse, to be the carer or the sufferer.
Thanks so much for your comment. God bless.

I don’t know much about anorexia but I remember a girl in Highschool who was skeletal. She wore loose, warm clothing. She was very pretty. She wasn’t with us long. She missed a ton of school. I wonder if she lived? I’ve been out of Highschool for almost 35 years. I pray you have the strength to persevere through your recovery. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Your story is worth hearing. You are worth hearing. ❤️ May God strengthen you everyday. He loves you so much.

Together we can make the world a better place. Whenever I remind myself of this, I know it is possible, just like in the bible when the Israelites had to rebuild their wall, it was an uphill task, but when each rebuilt the wall infront of his house, the work went on well and smoothly.
God bless your kind heart and strengthen you in your lending out your hand and heart to others; to “create a small corner of the web which gives the message that all hope is not lost”.
