My Friend's AA Birthday Card - Written by Me

I can't take credit for this wonderful peice of art, but I wish to share the website http://www.pomegranatedoyle.com/gallery
Something about the work speaks to my soul, BRAVO to your work I adore your pieces Pomegranate!

Letter to Friend: (She has 11 Years of Sobriety)
On this special day Remember; Never abandon your Dreams for they are the foundations of YOUR SOUL.
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it, just as he has carried you, held your hand, and stroked your hair.
Isaiah 43:2 “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown, when you walk through the fire of oppression you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you”
"Remember: It's ok to look back and see how far you have come, just don’t stare.”
Serenity is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it as you are molding your Serenity and Peace each and every day like an artist perfects his strokes.
"Remember; don't run so fast that your guardian angel can't keep up"
I will always be here for you, through the rivers of difficulty and the JOYS OF THE SUN. I see so much beauty inside you that is still waiting to come out. God is still molding you into HIS MASTERPIECE and HE is amazed and in AWE OF YOU.
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! Thank you for always being here for me and the girls, you are the BIG SISTER I look up to.

Walk Through The Hurt and The Pain - Not As We, As Me

Alanis Morissette - Not As We

Reborn and shivering
Spat out on new terrain

Unsure unconvincing
This faint and shaky hour

Day one day one start over again
Step one step one
I'm barely making sense for now
I'm faking it 'til I'm pseudo making it
From scratch begin again but this time I as i
And not as we

Gun shy and quivering
Timid without a hand

Feign brave with steel intent
little and hardly here

Day one day one start over again
Step one step one
with not much making sense just yet
I'm faking it til I'm pseudo making it
From scratch begin again but this time I as i
And not as we

Eyes wet toward
Wide open frayed
If God's taking bets
I pray He wants to lose

Day one day one start over again
Step one step one
I'm barely making sense just yet
I'm faking it til I'm pseudo making it
From scratch begin again but this time I as I
And not as we

These lyrics means so very much to me, especially now that I'm recovering from neck surgery. I have started over so many times in my life drifting from bad memories to present and not making sense at all. I have been haunted from the past, "AS WE" resembles that dark child for me, as you can see in the video she is stroking herself this symbolizes the dark child. I'm not sure how many times I've been faced with dreadful thoughts and pains that no human being should have to go through. I never truly saw myself as a victim or martyr I felt like a Warrior or a Survivor. Many times I was lost, but God always FOUND ME, or should I say I found GOD AGAIN, and AGAIN.

You can't run from pain, you have to face it head on and walk through it. Oh my, how long has it taken me to realize this? GOD is the only ONE who has shown me this, but I'm grateful God sends us these wonderful people called HUMAN ANGELS. My human angel is my husband who has stood by my side through the trials and the tribulations, the highs and the lows, the sadness and the happiness. He made me realize I have to FACE it and he was right there with me holding my hand and God was holding the other one.
I have so much gratitude for MY LIFE exactly where I AM. God knows our hearts and he knows them so well.

            Journey of A Creative Mind

   A very talented fellow I met on Yahoo 360 while blogging posted this beautiful painting.on his page.When I first saw this  painting it stirred up so many emotions inside me, it inspired me tremedously. I see a woman peaceful and serene at the same time naked an unihibited. I wish you could see the wonderful strokes and the true painting, it would not upload. When I saw this painting I sort of owned it as if it was speaking to my inner soul and knew me so well. When I write a Poem or a "Mind Blast" I find a painting that inspires and compliments my thought process while creating and writing the piece.

                                                     Journey Of A Creative Mind

                                                        by: Karina D'Aunoy

To the depths of my inner being

I  search for my peace

I cry to the heavens

The answers I yearned for daily

Solitary in thought

Pondering my destiny

Shackled by disbelief

I know deliverance is near

My lifeless body sinked to the bottom of the ocean

There is current a force taking me now

Lifting Me to the Sunrise

The True Journey as only begun

Open your eyes, Beauty is surrounding me

Out of the darkness into the Peaceful Sun

~Karina D'Aunoy
