I want to pass to my children the importance of helping and supporting each other within the family and relatives

Keywords: {0}

What I treasure most in our family is the special bond they shared rooted in their belief in God and love for family. Ours is not a perfect family, we have our own ups and downs but the bond we shared provided a sense of continuity that I want my children to experience as well.

I try really hard to have the right perspective on things and it just doesn’t stay the way I want it to

Growing up Christian, I was always asked to not focus on things below (worldly things) and on things above (God, eternity, etc.). Now, as I go through a crisis of faith, I find that really hard to do. I really don’t have any idea what I’m supposed to look at. Well, I’ve got a vague idea of what’s beautiful and true. However, aligning your perspective to something sounds like a big deal and I don’t know if what I know right now is of substance or worth committing to.

I told her that was the best possible card I could ever receive on this date

One friend wrote a beautiful tribute about me and shared it with me. It honestly sounded a bit like a eulogy, but that’s ok. I think we have things on earth screwed up. We wait until a person is dead to tell them how much we love them and say nice things about them. I think we should do that while people are living.

Living in the moment allows me to enjoy life as it is, not as I want it to be or as it could have been

I’m able to be truly happy for people, which is a new concept. I had, in the past, thought I was truly happy for people, but my own mental health problems clouded that and caused me to feel jealous of their happiness. But now, because I am at peace with myself, I can find true happiness in the joy of others.

Is this an audience I want to reach?

Keywords: preparation , public speaking , audience , hecklers , presentation skills , the three keys to great presentations , toronto star

What part of my expertise best suits their needs? Ignoring that vital part of preparation would be like subjecting a captive audience of strangers on a boat to a lecture on the Three Keys to Great Presentations. A few may care somewhat, but most would tune me out or, at best, resort to scratching their heads (at worst, tossing me overboard).

I would cry looking at the calendar and seeing there were so many days left

Keywords: motherhood

Mentally i think i was losing it. 1. The stress of not being able to take care of my son the way I want to because I am the size of Texas and had the energy level of a pea. 2. Not being able to keep up with my sons growing energy levels 3. Being closed off from most of society and being stuck at home due to the pandemic 4. Pregnancy hormones. All of this makes a disgusting combination of one hell of a hot mess which was me. except i wasn’t even hot.

I don’t have the energy or the time to do all the things I need to do, all the things I want to do, and so inevitably, I have to prioritize and things don’t get done

Keywords: personal

I feel as though my life has built specifically to this point. There’s an urgency I can feel in my body; it’s been there for a long time and I think it’s made of a lot of different things, but right now it feels like everything I’ve ever been through has turned to poetry in my blood and I just need to get it all out and onto the fucking page. Some of it is trauma pushing its way to the surface. Some of it is the result of therapy and trying to heal the trauma. Some of it is a rush of energy in the aftermath of graduation. But all of it feels like a ton of poetry crawling around inside of me, waiting to get free.
