When my heart stops beating, and I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I could say, "I did the best I could and loved with everything you gave me." ~Erma Bombeck

A blond is watching the news and hears that 2 Brazilian men died in a skydiving accident. She cries and says, "Oh my gosh, how many is a Brazilian?"

Interesting quote from a friend this evening.
"Sometimes when feelings don't fit the facts, a person may unconsciously revise the facts to fit their feelings."

SUMMER 2011
I had a reading today by my amazing psychic, Liz. I have been seeing her for well over a year and she has always been pretty spot on with her card readings. I had a lot on my mind this visit and the reading did not disappoint. Maybe my other psychic friend, Doug, from Salem, is right in telling me that I have my own psychic abilities. I have always been very (veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery) intuitive.
I've been studying Tarot this summer and seem to give pretty accurate readings to my family and friends, and when I read myself it is ALWAYS the same type reading, no matter how much I wish for it to be different --- the cards (and my energy) apparently do not lie.
I would never share what the reading said, but I do want to touch base on one thing we did talk about (and that I had talked about with Doug not to long ago). My physical and emotional strength.
Physically, this summer, I not only went down a pant size, I have become an avid walker (at least 4-6 miles several times a week), am heavily into boxing, upgraded my gym membership so that I have access to every Planet Fitness in the universe, live off of healthy choice meals (and snacks, of course..lol), Vitamin water and get healthy amounts of sleep thanks to good ol' Ativan. I am down almost 20lbs so far.
I've had to buy not ONE, but TWO belts in order for my jeans/shorts to stay on. My arms are way more muscular and breasts/butt smaller. People keep telling me "Des, you look so different." I didn't know what they meant until I compared pics of me from March/April of this year to ones taken just a couple of days ago. Now I agree..lol. Oh, and 'Skinsational' and I are in the process of starting a new relationship. It was the Rhode Island thing to do. Just sayin.
It feels friggin amazing!
As far as emotional health goes, I am giving myself an A++ in that. I have finally (FINALLY) found a therapist whom I absolutely love and feel safe with. She has reached into a part of me that no one else has. I can tell she likes me. Genuinely likes me, as I do her. She laughs at my jokes. She gets my point of view. She gets - ME. She has been a tremendous support and even more so now as we work on some very personal issues. Issues I have put on the back shelf for over 20 years.
I am open to all life has in store for me. I no longer have a DO NOT APPROACH SIGN on my forehead. I have an ALL WELCOME sign, and you know what, it works!!!
I have met some AMAZING people! I joined several support groups (one online and one in Pawtucket, RI) --- something I never thought I'd do.
What the heck has happened to me???
Oh. Wait. That is the word -- Me.
I haven't focused on ME in so long.
At first it was scary but now it is ridiculously exciting.

I've always been one to listen to my conscious and trust my intuition. I seem to have a pretty good track record.
What I've come to learn is sometimes we don't understand the true meaning behind someone's actions.
I can't seem to allow myself to believe things are done out of hate or revenge, but rather hurt and confusion. Maybe I am wrong or just an idiot, but this is what my inner voice is whispering.
It's not about being the bigger person, it's about one thing, and this comes from the depth of my soul.....
I've only experienced true love once (so far). There was a time when I couldn't even look the person I loved in the eyes because their beauty took my breath away. I told this person over and over how much I loved them, and those were never just words to me and it never seemed strong enough.
I always said actions speak louder than words.
Truth be told, I would never want to hurt someone I felt so intensely for and wanted nothing more than happiness and a future with.
This is not weakness, this is strength.
With that said, I will prove that my words weren't just words one last time.......I will leave it at that.
Love is a gift. Some treasure it, some don't.
Some don't know how.
I know how to treasure it and I forgive those who don't.
I forgive.....and those aren't just words.

There comes a point in everyone's life when they have to take a stand for something that is incredibly hard. It is amazing how someone can hurt another person, an innocent one at that, so easily and not even think (or care) about the repercussions.
For all that I've learned in my life, thus far, nothing has prepared me for what has happened to me this year. I am horrified about what I recently found out. Even though I had a hunch, it's all in the proof.
Everything always come down to two things. The truth and proof.
And being the type person I am, my heart breaks for anyone who has the ability to cause another harm. I just can't believe it. Truly.

I've finally had enough. My character means everything to me.

Identity Theft
Identity theft is not something to mess around with. The proof is in the evidence and I feel victorious.
Everyone should be grateful for the fact that everything (and I do mean everything) is traceable in this day and age.
