Nothing more toxic…

HATE is a cancer we make

A killer of souls


 
Self-inflicted Hell

Infecting everything

Corrupting… lifeforce


 
Yet… we’re in control

Cancer of our creation  

Owner of its cure


 
Always easier said though… than done. I’m no exception, not immune to its infection. Guilty of harboring this poison within my heart, feeding it, letting it grow until robbed of my fun here. And for what? Nothing of importance.

I once enjoyed this Forum; contributing, participating and enjoying all the eye candy. Sure, I didn’t much like some of the Forum drama but learned to “look away” along with avoiding the local Bullies. But these past months… watching LIKES being exploited and corrupted pushed me over my edge.

Though I couldn’t care less about the Leaderboard… I couldn’t let go of this charade in deception, having little tolerance for cheaters, liars or deceivers. Ironic, how it’s often our strengths and unwavering convictions that turn on their Master, edging us to our DARK side. Turning me into something… NOT me.

My inner battle rages... struggling to let it go… compulsions making it hard. But trying to stop my freefall, refusing to succumb to demons of my creation. Reminding myself what is truly important and The Reason i come here… much too important to forsake.

Shame on ME... any TIME is too precious to waste on hate.

How cruel it must seem

Waiting for a visitor…

That is not coming


 
Their home in lockdown

Unable to comprehend…

Its for their own good


 
Those with Dementia

Mom, Dad, Grandparent, Sibling…

Feeling forgotten 


 
The Covid-19 virus or the impossible task of its’s containment touches the lives of most… some more than others. It’s collateral damage everywhere… but it’s those lost voices I am thinking of and praying for today.

More than ever
Hour after
Our work is
Never over
 
A tale of two extremes...
While millions are out of work deemed "non-essential" and asked to stay home, many now stressing over how they will care for their family and pay bills. My heart hurts just thinkin of all the unemployed single moms with no savings, no family safety net. Now,,, no job. I can't imagine. 
Yet while so many can't work, going Stir Crazy with family in a bad remake of Groundhog Day...  others deemed "essential" are faced with mandatory OT and putting themselves at risk everyday. I am fortunate to be one of many, as a RN I am witnessing unprecedented times n changes in healthcare as we're overwhelmed. We're on OT shifts plus every other weekend. I'm not stressing over bills, but over not spending time with those I love.

Miss Li - My Heart Goes Boom
 
"Cause when I'm with you baby

My whole world starts to bloom

All I ever want to do

Is to lay here next to you


 
When I'm with you baby

I'm feeling less confused

And my heart goes… boom, boom, boom

Snow, Snow and more Snow, making my homecoming… perfect. 


 
There’s no place like home

No feeling as comforting

That of belonging

 
More than memories

More than familiar faces

There’s a connection


 
Unexplainable

Also… undeniable

My community

FUCK covid-19  😡

Ruining my vacation

No more snowboarding


 
Closing all resorts

Wasting all this fresh powder

People out of work


 
The Silver lining….

Spend more time with family

That IS why I’m here. 

Sometimes… all it takes is a Nose rub to ignite your Fireworks

Hey, Soul Sister

Your lipstick stains

On the front lobe of my left side brains

I knew I wouldn't forget you

And so I let you go and blow my mind


 
Your sweet moonbeam

The smell of you in every single dream I dream

I knew when we collided

You're the one I have decided who's one of my kind


 
Just in time

I'm so glad you have a one-track mind like me

You gave my life direction

A game show love connection we can't deny


 
Hey, soul sister... Happy Friday 

This… is who rules my heart unconditionally



MY instant attitude adjustment. 

NO distance comes between US

Lightning… strikes again
 
 

Loving in two worlds

Hard on All or Nothing me

Bound by compromise


 
I give what I can

Left wishing I could give more

But knowing I can’t

At work… she’s my Lady Writer

At home… she’s just MY Lady

But… always I am hers

 
 

Better than any Chicken Noodle soup for this Cold….  

Hi Zoë  *Hugz*
Good luck today… show em how you mix tunes down in Argentina.  Still trying to juggle my schedule so I can attend. Cross your fingers n toes.


 

Regardless of race

Our religion, gender or

Sexuality


 
Wishing all of you

A very Merry Christmas

And Happy New Year


 
A time of sharing…

Meant for family and friends

Appreciation


 
It’s all about love

Forgetting our differences

Caring for others



 

Happy Birthday… Zoë

Some friends come and go
Time and distance taking toll
Their connection fades
 
 
But true friends remain
Staking a claim to your heart
That can’t be broken
 
 
Happy Birthday Zoë
Thank you for sharing your life
YOU make mine better

Watched an epi of Black Mirror last night, San Junipero , reminding me of a dear friend, Zoe the Purple Dragon, hoping these words find you well and your heart full of fire.
