NormaJean, I see angels sitting around you in a circle giving you love and support. It is so good that you reached out.
Laura F— it warms my heart to read your story, how you are helping this man. And we are all sending love and success to you and him and the professor. You are doing the best work. Wow.
Quick update on my story: the deadline to "drop" the class was Friday at midnight. The professor emailed me at 8am Saturday to say that our deaf friend is sticking with the class for the rest of the semester!! I reached out to the student (let's call him "H") via text. We met at a local cafe` to start homework that is due. Long story short, he ended up coming to my house for dinner that night. It turned out to be a madcap kind of evening, with people coming and going, etc. I'm glad I tend to cook too much food, because we ended up needing all of it! H is such a great young man, I was glad that he felt comfortable enough to fall asleep on the sofa while I cooked (with my chiweenie dog curled up on his chest, no less! - she is a bit slutty lol), and we had a lovely 4 way dinner conversation by using an iPad to write messages. I found out a lot of new info about H, and we found we have a lot in common for people in two completely different generations. He's very interested in reiki, astrology, tarot, spirituality in general. He is a Leo, I am a Scorpio and his mother is a Scorpio. I have many Leo friends, and tend to get along best with Leos and Tauruses. So now here's the funny part, before I share it, remember how my and H's interest in French is fairly new. I follow FreeWill Astrology, which is a fun horoscope site written by Rob Brezny. I love his horoscopes because they are so positive and proactive (which for my fellow Scorpios, so refreshing, am I right?). Here is my horoscope for the current week, again full attribution and thanks to Mr.Brezny: (emphasis mine)
"If a man treats a life artistically, his brain is his heart," wrote Oscar Wilde. I'll translate that into a more complete version: "If a person of any gender treats life artistically, their brain is their heart." This truth will be especially applicable for you in the coming weeks. You'll be wise to treat your life artistically. You'll thrive by using your heart as your brain. So I advise you to wield your intelligence with love. Understand that your most incisive insights will come when you're feeling empathy and seeking intimacy. As you crystallize clear visions about the future, make sure they are generously suffused with ideas about how you and your people can enhance your joie de vivre.
LMAO !! H has a great sense of humor, we both got a kick out of this, and I love it when The Universe has a sense of humor too.
Normajean - thanks for your post. You're not alone in the thoughts you're having. If you poke around on here, you will find many positive visions and messages, which may help. I've gone into panic mode a few times over the last few years, and one of the other members here (RunestoneOne), very wisely advised me to re-organize my emergency supplies. Doing so doesn't prevent emergencies, but it helped me to focus on fears and worries and channel those into a proactive action. I'm not saying to re-organize supplies, necessarily, just saying try to latch on to ONE thing you can control in your life/environment, it really helps.
Hi Norma Jean, I am a little late in responding to your post,since it is the first time I got into this category. I will add you to my board of prayers. I pray the light reaches you and you are lifted by people's prayers, healing meditation and receive the light you need to have strength to get you trough this very difficult time. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.
Hello Laura F. Your story of your young is really touching. I'm so happy he's sticking with the class. I'm also so happy he has crossed your path and you his. Your horoscope is so dead on, I'll go on that site to check it out. I will add you to my praying board to help you and you young man. God speed!
It's the first day I visit this thread. I didn't know what is was about. Reading the last couple stories, has helped me look at something other than the good old "me, myself and I" state of mind. That is something I really want to work on. Although I am sociable, I'm a loner, so I have very few friends.
Currently, my best friend is going through a very tough time. She is going through a depression. She has mental health issues as well. She lost her mother less than 6 months ago. Because of her anxiety, she started drinking a bit. Not enough to be an alcoholic, but she was afraid she was going down that path very quickly since every evening she was trying to not get a bottle of vodka. She was self medicating with it. One night she called me and was suicidal. That's the night I gathered information for her on the AA, and other social organization to help people going through the same kind of situation.
She called AA. I am proud of her because she sough help right away. So the problem didn't escalate. Even though they realize she is not an alcoholic, they still took her under their wings and are helping her very much. She already has a sponsor and communicates with her very often.
She is currently off work, has no income because she is a truck driver (18 + wheeler) and she has no benefits because she works for an agency and not company. She is 2 months behind in her rent due to her illness.. She is a very generous person and gives a lot of herself for others. People are drawn to her because she has an aura of friendly openness.
She needs help with her ongoing mental health issues as well as the deep depression she is going through. She needs help with better managing her financial situation, and $$ to pay the rent. She needs help to not fall into the bottle and self-medicate again. She needs plan if or when she returns to work. Being a truck driver is not easy as I've learned from her, specially not for a woman. She needs help to re-orient to a new career if that is what is needed of her. And I need to better help her.
Your thoughts and prayers would be very welcome.
Thanks
Bright Opal, I am sending your friend healing energy and light and love. Her situation can turn around in an amazing way. All of us reading her story can send her love right now. May she heal from her life wounds and find joy again. Gratitude helps and gratitude heals. Gratitude and despair can not occupy the same space.
Gratitude and despair can not occupy the same space.
Wonderful thought and so true.
And in this moment sending healing light to all who visit this site and to those They ask us to support
Also it occurred to me that when I click “like” I find I am really sending support and gratitude to the writer which is a form of healing light.
Bluebelle and Jeanne,
I heard that recently and loved it.
I also love this one by Maya Angelou:
"Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space. Invite one to stay."
For all who visit here, remember these, recite one or both as lovely bits of positive thinking and emotional self-support.
I love to print or write little reminders like these on index cards or pretty psper.
I take them and tape or paperclip them onto or by things I look at everyday; a calendar, bathroom mirror, refrigerator door, or tucked behind a light switch plate, or on a bulletin board or gift card or piece of art work.
