I looked into my saddened eyes<br />
And saw deep dark pools overflowing.<br />
The river of tears ran uncontrolled<br />
Down the my stained cheeks<br />
As I tried to catch them as they fell.<br />
<br />
The sorrows of yesteryear rush<br />
Through my thoughts and consume<br />
My shattered heart, broken by loss<br />
Of my loved one, no longer at my side.<br />
Oh how I wish I could turn back time...<br />
<br />
Emptiness fills my soul yet it hungers<br />
For the love we shared and closely held.<br />
To be in your arms again would bring peace.<br />
But nay, it is but a dream a longing wish -<br />
One day my love I'll shed tears of joy...<br />
<br />
Until time passes by and my years tick<br />
Down its allowed clock and gain passage<br />
To the other side, I wait, I ponder all<br />
Our memories we made in so short a time.<br />
My heart quickens all a flutter with hope.<br />

Good Morning,<br />
<br />
So many trials have come and gone in the last year. Losing the love of my life was the last thing I expected. My dear sweet husband was laid to rest on January 28th, 2015.The three months between his death, memorial and burial nearly had me joining him. Military burials are wonderful but you have absolutely no control over the time you wait. I gave my sweetheart the best funeral I could muster up. He was a highly decorated retired Veteran, a Major in the Army during the Vietnam War. Mark came into my life unexpectedly and God claimed him 5 days before our third wedding anniversary.<br />
<br />
We were still on our honeymoon if you ask me. The last 10 months of his life were so difficult. He was a proud man and would not go to a doctor. I resigned my position at DCPS, and became his primary caregiver where he had been mine. How fast I shifted gears. The months he suffered I too was suffering but had no means of letting his family know as he had sworn me to secrecy even from my own children. This turmoil built up in me and was consuming me. I had collapsed after he died,<br />
fractured left foot and left rib, moved to North Carolina, a T-11 compression fracture, just had surgery last Thursday, and still trying to get spousal widow benefits. It's been 6 months and good old social security is still dragging their feet.<br />
<br />
But let's celebrate a better day! It is PINK SATURDAY over at How Sweet The Sound.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Often when I am troubled I turn to my blog and my poetic muse to work though life's complexities. Today I am very lonely and missing Mark with all my heart. This my love is for you!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shattered Dreams</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh 'tis the hours before the dawn</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That are the hardest on my heart...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I lay awake and talk to the shadow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of the woman I once was...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only now she lays on a shelf</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Collecting dust or drowns</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Herself deep in the pool</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of her own salty tears -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And shattered, a broken mirror</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lays idle reflecting on yesteryear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dreams we made, some we shared</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Others never to come to be, alone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I must sit and ponder to eternity,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For no other man could reach my soul -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I, your mate until the end of time!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No matter how hard one might tug</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At my heart strings they belong</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only to you my love, 'tis you I hold -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Locked within my heart to whom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only I bear my soul... shed my tears...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The muse escapes me days on end</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Without you here or near.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I battle bouts of depression -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anxiety rises to dangerous peaks, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the mountain's cliff beckons...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not time though, not desperate enough!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Content I'll hold on to our memories,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
None more precious than our first kiss -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our first dance of love through the night;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Endless romancing, once sparks, now embers...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dreams at times consume me day or night,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I hold you, caress away your pain,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your worries set aside, I, your wife abide.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Faith in God and Thee, for all eternity</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I shall hold you close and never let you go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My white knight, you rescued me, loved me -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Held me in your arms and sang our love song...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anon yonder the morning dove warbles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sweet melodies warm the heart of his love,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like an angel sent to me from above...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shattered shards of broken glass strewn </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Across the floor, I drop to my knees</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And hold back the misty tear eyed dew</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That dances on my lashes, and flows</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like a river, tumbling down my cheeks</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And wets my lips as if you kissed me...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I but the shallow remains of the beauty you beheld...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I care not to look within the looking glass -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
'Tis broken and no remedy known to mankind</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will repair this broken shattered heart - I can only dream.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

A long time past...St Valentine's To The Loves of My Life...<br />
<br />
Where do I start? I posted that Mark passed away 10/10/214 at 3:03PM and I guided him to OUR Lord and Savior His soul soared through the opened windows and was guided by my voice to the white lights which are Heaven's Angels' glow drawing Mark ever nearer and closer God to Thee. He serves God's Army now.<br />
<br />
Here is one of My Tribute poems to The Love of My Life...<br />
<br />
Life is Love<br />
<br />
Life is all about LOVE...<br />
Lead a purpose driven life<br />
To find what drives you...<br />
What is your passion?<br />
Who ignites the flames of your heart?<br />
Who sets your soul and heart on fire? <br />
He, she or it should drive your inner being -<br />
It drives the passion locked within your heart.<br />
Its beats are the rhythm of your life -<br />
You rise and shine each day, you end<br />
With the passionate soul on your mind...<br />
He or she must be the one who drives<br />
Your desires, assists you and allows you<br />
To dare to DREAM passionately!<br />
Equally so, he is the one who also guides<br />
You closer and nearer drawn to God.<br />
Spiritually he is your guide, the helm of your Faith!<br />
He loves you as himself, as his neighbor and as he loves His God...<br />
The best expression of love is the time you spend with someone,<br />
The quality of the time, the tender moments, perhaps mere seconds,<br />
Yet these memories dance within your heart and soul eternally.<br />
The time spent doing what each other likes to do, even if you<br />
Would rather be doing something else, is not a sacrifice...<br />
It is an intentional expression of the love that burns within your hearts -<br />
Never forgotten, locked deep within and always a memory in time, alive!<br />
Express your love daily to your beloved, for there is no guarantee<br />
Of a tomorrow, today is the only true cash and love deposit in your love bank of life!<br />
Spend your time wisely, yesterday is a cancelled check,<br />
Tomorrow, only a promissory note, make the choice intentional to be there!<br />
LOVE transcends all times into eternity, perhaps a different form ethereal, but real!<br />
Balance your life and your time spent with those you love, too much in one area<br />
Nullifies the importance one should emulate for family, husband, wife,<br />
Significant others, parents, children, grandchildren, friends and love of GOD!<br />
Spending time with each is the greatest gift you have to give an expression of true love!<br />
Lead a Godly life and encourage your loved ones to also...divinity equals eternity -<br />
Unto yours and God's purpose, grow your garden and tend it well.<br />
Nurture your Love of your life, your passion within, your garden, your fruit of your loins...<br />
To attend with passion and intentional time is to illustrate the depth of your love -<br />
Genuine, sincere, and real...lay down a path in The Garden of Love that leads<br />
You and your loved ones to the Life Eternal, without nurturing, what garden grows?<br />
Each day your love deepens, solidifies and holds fast to the heart and soul of your beloved...<br />
Instill this in the fruit you bear, attend to them as God would have you build a Kingdom<br />
Filled with Love of Life, family, self and of course Love of God and humanity.<br />
Without intentional time invested, your love nor garden and purpose in LIFE<br />
Will not grow, rather the embers die out and dissipate, forlorn and forgotten...<br />
Never, were you my Love of my life, stingy with your time with me, your desire for more<br />
Time with your children went unheard, and broken-hearted it consumed you, my Love<br />
You bare no blame or fault, their choices are their own...in our hearts we know you loved<br />
Greatly and deeply those dear, and tenderly held in the clasps of your strong arms.<br />
I many a night laid and cried with you, for blessings and healing from above..<br />
You are healed now and once again whole.. you are an ANGEL in GOD'S ARMY...<br />
Your legacy lives on, in my heart and my soul and my memories, you will be alive<br />
Eternally with God and with me, and the day I join you and God... <br />
Will be a glorious reunion of souls, sister and brother in Christ stewards and leaders...<br />
I pour out my heart to you my LOVE, Mark Angel, my heart remains open only to you...<br />
With the gift of pure true and one and only Love of My Life, you shared a dream with me..<br />
I will live on filled with your love and the purpose of that dream...freely I choose...<br />
You fulfiledl the destiny God holds and bestows upon me...I am a prayer warrior.<br />
I am charged with the task of bearing the cross laid down in life for me and shall<br />
Gladly pick it up and carry it unto my day of reckoning and deliverance to God!<br />
Each of us is blessed with a God-given talent, and gifts in our lives to utilize...<br />
You were such a gift to me from God, you nurtured me in my time of need my<br />
Sweet WHITE NIGHT and now guardian Mark Angel, I shall continue to live on...<br />
I will spread my wings and fly, and dare to dream big dreams and go where God<br />
Guides me, strengthened by the knowledge that I was and am still loved, by you<br />
And by God. My destiny awaits, you are there, once here and always with me,<br />
I draw from you the courage, the will to fight each day to breathe, to push on,<br />
To prove I am worthy of being loved, of use to many, all they need is to ask -<br />
To see me as the woman you saw in me, happy, joyful, spunky, determined<br />
Passionate about life and love, forgiving, and caring, driven by destiny!<br />
I will become the tool of Christ, tend His garden well and build His Kingdom.<br />
I live filled with the memories you gave me of what it feels like to be loved<br />
Unconditionally, in little ways and gentle tender moments, intimate with just a gleam<br />
Or smile on your face... to you, My Love of My Life, I dedicate this poem.<br />
Happy First St. Valentine's Day in Heaven...To Mark Angel, The Love of My Life!<br />

Good Morning friends!<br />
<br />
Today I am writing about the sunshine in my life. what brings me joy and rays of hope and brightens my day... please join me and share your sunshine in my comments!<br />
<br />
Sunshine<br />
<br />
Sunshine always warms my heart with gladness<br />
Its rays extend beyond the surface of its warmth<br />
Brilliantly with its bold and blazen strength <br />
My life is filled with happiness because of sunshine.<br />
<br />
Sunshine comes in many warming ways...<br />
It awakens the still and quiet morning soul<br />
And fills an empty cup of life with hope<br />
Bringing new life through faith, love, and hope!<br />
<br />
Sunshine rests upon you when you least expect it to...<br />
Today I am thankful the Lord has blessed me even<br />
Though in sadness with the loss of my husband<br />
I am filled with Rays of hope from God's rays... of sunshine!<br />

Technically it is no longer Sunday but I am a night owl lately and I guess it really is Monday 11/3/2014. Had a very busy day today down in Wilmington, NC! Daylight savings time always messes my system up more than it already is on its own accord. I was up at 4AM and that was that so was my cat Carmel. Found a Methodist Church and went to it, am so glad I did! Today was the first day since Mark died that I did not feel all alone and abandoned without hope. It was All Saints Day too and that brought tears to my eyes as of course Mark's passing away on 10/10/14 meant he became one of the saints for whom the bell was tolled. In addition it was also the 100th year Centennial and many celebrations took place. I went to Sunday school and met many new friends who then had me join them for the 11AM service. After that, there was a luncheon and so I ended up being invited to that as well and before I knew it it was 2PM and I was to be at my son's by 3PM! I made it without a minute to spare. I saw my adorable twin grand babies for the first time since April! Wow how much they have changed. Of course they are walking and running and into all sorts of mischief keeping their parents really busy. It was the best day ever seeing them and say son and his beautiful wife Laura. My nephew was there too so it was a small family reunion. Being a grandma is still rather new to me.... But I love it! the twins turned 1 this past July 29th but with Mark being so I'll we were jot able to make it down for their birthday! So this was only the fifth time I had seen my twinkles! I am so looking forward to moving here and being closer and more a part of their lives! I have several properties to visit later today and will hopefully sign a lease and be mived down from Alexandria VA by Thanksgiving, that is the plan and hope android fervent prayer! Well I best try to sleep some as today is almost here in another four hours it will be time to wake up and start the day! Good night and God Bless!<br />

What a day I had. Woke up at 3:30 AM, day started at 4:30 PM. Wrote the obituary for my husband Mark. Yesterday was our third wedding anniversary. Instead of planning a wedding anniversary celebration I spent most of the day making funeral arrangements for next week. And straightening out finances...what a shock. Ladies take charge and make your husbands and SO give you all the data to help you in the event of their unexpected demise! <br />
<br />
I had to be seen on an emergency basis my neuro and chronic pain doctor. They sent me to Reston, VA instead of where I normally go in Centreville VA. 37 miles = 1 hour and 15 minutes. @0 shots later into my spine back and buttocks, I then drove back 40 miles to the funeral parlor to sign the contract for my husband's burial. He actually will not be buried at Arlington National Cemetery for months to come, and the funeral parlor keeps the body in cold storage. Mark will be having a full military funeral with honor guards, caissons (spelling)and gun salute. He is a highly decorated veteran retired Major from the Army having served 20 years with 2 tours of duty in S. Korea. Then I headed back over to Ft. Belvoir to get the remaining medals and pins and honor awards and the beret. A Casualty Affairs officer will be out on Monday to have full inspection of the proper dress and placement of medals. etc., to validate that military protocol was adhered to...All said and told the dress blues uniform and all the decorative medals and honors and ribbons he earned and the actual uniform and undergarments came to a whopping big $600.00. He earned every penny of it too. I am honored that I have the money saved for a rainy day as this whole ordeal has been entirely unexpected. Then I went to BBT and surrendered his vehicle as I cannot afford to keep both. Then back to the funeral home to give them t he remainder of the ribbons awards, clips, bars and beret for preparation. Onto the grocery store and bought some real food to cook not fast food garbage! Spaghetti marinara with turkey meatballs and fettuccini noodles and garlic butter and parsley dusting. Yummy.<br />
<br />
Spent the night organizing more financial papers, planning out the week ahead and paying what bills I can. Dealing with Mark's ex-wife is a nightmare. She will not back down and get off my case. Not going there tonight... I will get too anxious and suffer a panic. Tomorrow I go to the florist, purchase them and then head out to Manassas to the storage unit and gut it with all I do not want or need to take to NC when I move (hope to by Thanksgiving)!<br />
<br />
Best try and get some rest as the 6AM bell will ring in just over 6 hours.<br />
<br />
Tried to add graphics but for some reason that link is not working here for me!<br />
<br />
Take care, love your brothers and sisters, tell them often and cherish each moment with your parents as well.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hugs and Kisses,<br />
<br />

My life has been absolutely turned upside down since 9/30/2013. In addition to all my own injuries from the near fatal accident I was in, my husband became gravely ill. On 09/30/2014 I finally got him to a hospital, but all for naught. He was in chronic liver failure and kidney failure. Soon afterwards the toxins went to his brain. With a heavy heart and great sadness for his gallant struggle he held on until this past Friday. On 10/10/2014 at 3:03 PM my loving husband of just shy of 3 years was called home to our Lord and Savior. Heaven has a new angel. I was at his bedside in hospice; his last 31 hours were horrific, unbearable to watch his physical pain and suffering. Yet my Mark held on, I then clasped his hands in prayer for him and placed mine over his, said the Lord's prayer and told him it is now time to go with the angels as they were here waiting to help him ascend. He opened his eyes ( had not done this for three days) looked at me and a gentle smile and inner peace came over his spirit and went to his home with God.<br />
<br />
I will post soon poems I am working on for his funeral. Praise God his suffering is over and that he is now with God's army doing his work from Heaven.<br />
<br />
Please lift me up in prayer. I am in need of medical healing for my heart and my spinal nerve damage is worsened by trying to lift an help my hubby. Financial woes as well; yet hopefully the life insurance will quickly be settled. I loved him with all of my heart and soul. I miss my soul mate. Tears flow in both joy that his suffering has ended but ones of sorrow in that I shall never hear that gentle voice or sweet touch, the hugs and kisses each night when going to bed and waking up to get them all over again. He always treated me like a queen and took very good care of me. This Wednesday, 10/15/2014 will be our 3rd wedding anniversary. Instead of celebrating our anniversary I will be in the midst of planning his funeral. <br />
<br />
I look forward to nurturing my friendships through my blog for I have missed all of my followers.<br />
<br />
Make it a blessed day, call your loved ones far away and tell them you love them. Each day we live is a gift from God. <br />

<span style="color: magenta;"><em>I took advantage of tax free weekend last week for those back to school supplies! And of course updating our wardrobes! I had a tax free weekend shopping spree and got over $500 worth of books from the Salvation Army, for only $54. Amazing what people just give away... And then I hit the designer suit racks and added 2new suits, 2 new jackets and a 100% genuine leather portfolio briefcase for a computer, but it looks like a tote purse! Spent a grand total there of $49, net retail worth over $750... and donated to a Christian cause. Fashionista in me just won't go away!</em></span><br />

I equip teachers with classroom management strategies that puts passion back into teaching and compassionate discipline, end result...MORE TIME TO TEACH! A major belief is to have unconditional positive regard for everyone in the classroom. I am so excited to now be empowered to be a change agent. I know how to increase student retention while decreasing student detentions, how to refocus the learning environment on the learning and teaching, not the disruptive behavior that takes time from teaching. Teachers are no longer frustrated and come to school passionate about their teaching, knowing that the powerful strategies acquired through a classroom management seminar has given them the tools they need to maintain discipline and order in the classroom so that learning can and WILL occur. This training is immediately transferable to the next day of teaching; teachers are excited and ready to ignite their teaching style into one that invites the student to learn. No more "STOP That! I'll send you to the principal's office...I am going to call your parents! If you know a teacher or administrator that would benefit from this seminar, PLEASE <a href="mailto:valriehefty@timetoteach.com" target="_blank">refer them to me,</a> I have the answers to their frustrations and will give them back their time for administration!</em></span></b></div>

<em></em><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><em>Eleven random facts about myself: (in no particular order)</em></b></span><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;"><em>1. I am a middle child of a total of six siblings... that includes me... 2 brothers are the bookends and three sisters.We span 15 years and grew up with all of our names being run together GarryVanessaValrieCherylDebraKevin... :-)</em></span></b></span><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;"><em>2. I married my childhood sweetheart and even though the marriage ended after 16 years and 4 years of courtship/engagement, we managed to have 2 wonderful children. Sadly their father and my first love died 11 years ago on Memorial Day, May 28th, 2002. </em></span></b></span><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;"><em>3. I have a flare for the dramatic arts and acted in high school plays, earning the Outstanding Senior and contributer to the dramatic arts award from The Upstagers in 1973. It was three-fold in that I acted, designed costumes and make-up. We competed at the college level each year at Alfred Tech Community College and always took home high honors. My first time trying out I won the starring role in White Liars, playing a German fortune teller who was really Jewish. There were only 4 characters in the drama and one was my deceased husband speaking through my mind... all on audio...It took real talent my drama director told me, who we affectionately to this day call Boss. I was made up to look like a 65-70 year old lady... I had found my niche at 15 year, a sophmore in high school, boy were the Senior girls upset with my winning the role! BTW it was the only female part in the play...</em></span></b></span><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;"><em>4. I wrote my first poem when I was 5, it was about frogs... I don't remember it but that it was about them frolicking with me in the mud.</em></span></b></span><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;"><em>5. I accepted Christ as my Saviour when I was five. Whenever I was troubled I would go outside to the flower beds outside my bedroom, this particular day I had sassed off to my mom and was very angry with her but moreso at myself... I sat Indian style among the daffodils and cried out to God. He answered me in bold emblazoned stained glass capital letters in the sky, a message from God and Heaven to be sure...the message was clear, REPENT OR GO TO HELL. That was all my little soul needed, whether I was scared into it or not, I was a believer and knew that this being we called God was real. From that day forward I heeded this lesson.</em></span></b></span><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;"><em>6. I love to travel...camping the entire east coast of the USA as a child with my family; Aruba for 2 weeks after a bitter breakup and failed marriage... and here I wrote some of my best adult poetry... Cayman Islands, Mexico 2 (cruises); and Jamaica. Holland, England, Australia, Japan are on my bucket list as is the rest of the United States.</em></span></b></span><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;"><em>7. I speak Spanish fluently, took it 7-12 grade, 2 years in college, but learned more in the Spanish speaking countries I have visited and living 11 years in NJ. </em></span></b></span><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;"><em>8. I was a teen queen in 1972-73 for the NCHA (National Campers and Hikers Association), placed 3rd in the state but won the talent competition with a modern danceI choreographed and performedto "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head...</em></span></b></span><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;"><em>9. My first teaching job was when I was a junior and senior at SUNY Binghamton, majoring in English & general Literature. I taught 2 families from Japan, Kyoto and TokyoEnglish as a Second Language, I did not know one word of Japaneze either. </em></span></b></span><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;"><em>10. I have lived in 5 states. NY,NJ, MD, FL, & VA.</em></span></b></span><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;"><em>11. At the age of 41, in January 1996 I left my retail career behind and entered Elmira College to study and receive a MSE in Reading with Reading Specialist Endorsement and a minor in Elementary Education. I was a single mom, drove 1hour and 15 minutes each way 4 days a week in the eveningfor 18 months and completed both programs with a 4.00 GPA, earning nomination into Kappa Delta Pi, Rho Mu Chapter; it is an elite honors international society of educators who achieved at least a 3.97 GPA, earning perfect grades as a single mom in her 40'sis my greatest lifetime achievement after having birthed my 2 lovely children, Jennifer Ann, 29 and Joseph David, 26.</em></span></b></span><br />

<em></em><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;"><em> </em></span></b></span><br />

<em></em><br />

<br />
2. What is the last thing you do at night?</em></span><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><em><span style="color: magenta;">I say my prayers, thanking God for the day, asking to be a better person tomorrow and kiss my hubby goodnight while Carmel, my loving cat snuggles up to us in bed. <br />
</span><br />
3. Do you have children?</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><em><span style="color: magenta;">I have 2 children, 1 daughter-in-law, 3 step children. Jenni 29, Joey26, Laura 29 (Joey's wife), Faith, 26, Soleil 15, and Autumn 12 1/2... Mark's 3 daughters. P.S.

</span><br />

<em></em><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><em>At the beach by the sea, walking barefoot in the sand hand in hand with my hubby. </em></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><br /><em>
6. Do you like to drive?</em></span><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><em><span style="color: magenta;">I am a road warrior... my retail job as a fashionista district sales manager took me on average 1500 miles a week in the car...now I am looking forward to driving as many weekends as possible to see my about to be born fraternal twins boy/girl in Wilmington, NC... I live in North Central VA.</span><br />
<br />
7. What is your biggest dream?</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><em><span style="color: magenta;">To have my poetry and novella professionally published, being a best seller<br />
</span><br />
8. What is your favorite animal?</em></span><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><em><span style="color: magenta;">That's easy.. my resuce cat Carmel, came to me as a kitten who blew into the drivewayafter a violent storm... probably thrown away by some less endearing person.. and he has claimed me as his slave ever since...<br />
</span><br />
9. What is your favorite type of food?</em></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><em></em></span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="color: magenta;"><em>Dutch cooking.I am a by God by Guess scratch cook and baker, as was my mom, God rest her soul...love the confections, but enjoy putting my own recipes together... dabble a lot in Asian dishes too.<br />

<em></em><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><em><span style="color: magenta;">Definitely a morning dove. Dad always said, your going to bed time has nothing to do with getting up time. I awake to the chirping birds at the crack of dawn.. sometimes before, usually by5 AM. I have grown to love this quiet time, to read, to write, and to just be me without noise or interruptions.<br />
</span><br />
11. Why do you blog?</em></span><br />
<em></em><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><em>It is my therapy and safe haven. To make friends and share God's word. To be inspired and write my poetry.To chronicle my life and my joys and also my woes so my friends can help build me back up when I need it. To grow as a person, in my knowledge of other cultures and to value others as I hope they value me.</em></span><br />

<em><span style="color: #674ea7;">In the still quiet of a darkened night ~ moonless<br />And the stars asleep behind ominous clouds,<br />I ponder the meaning of my life and ask<br />God why, why am I here and where am I to go?</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="color: #674ea7;">In the soft and misty dew of the new fallen rain<br />I hear a whispering voice beckon me to its hiding place<br />And precariously tiptoe into the glassy grass meadow<br />Blades dancing as the wind whips across their tips...</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="color: #674ea7;">As I lay down among the daisies and gather my thoughts<br />I feel a presence, calming and yet somewhat disturbing<br />Gently I part the tall grass which hides the murmuring brook<br />A reflecting pool draws my attention close at hand, I sigh ~</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="color: #674ea7;">Entering the cool waters I am washed clean of the toils<br />Of my life, refreshed and cleansed, I await the call...<br />Again the voice whispers, enticing me forward, I come<br />Upon the most heavenly garden and realize where I am...</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="color: #674ea7;">No sound but happiness as the meadowlark sings his hymn<br />Only bells of joy ring out rejoicing the arrival of an angel<br />Whose wings barely sprout beyond her regal robe,<br />Tears run freely now, for I am home, I am One with God.</span></em></div>

<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><em>There have been several moments over the last few days wherein I pleaded with God to call me home. I suffer chronic pain and the most debilitating of that is the severe chronic migraines that have haunted me for the last 45 years. It is compounded with the fact that I am also diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and Raynaud's syndromes. I call this my fire and ice... it wreaks havoc on me daily when they both flare-up I sing a song called Fire and Ice and visualize my hubby's favorite flowers, red roses tipped with white or bouquets of those two colors, just to lift my spirits. I didn't always have such great coping skills. Again I awoke today with this migraine that has plagued me since Tuesday, it appears I am running another marathon against my own brain... the last migraine marathon lasted 2 weeks.</em> I <em>will win this one! I spent most of Friday in tears and my husband ended up having to take me to the ER... surprise not only a migraine ma'am but your blood pressure is out of control...maybe it is the cause of the migraines then this time? For three days now it has circled in the 155/96zone with a pulse rate of 98 beats a minute... that's racing... hmmmm maybe the doctors will listen to me now...</em></span></div>

<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><em>Additionally I broke my back in 2006 and had surgery on that, along with a fractured and broken dislocated left wrist...3 times, both ankles 3 times on the left, 2 times on the right; both wrists have a condition called T3, which means all the tendons that flex the wrist are frayed and torn. Advanced osteoporosis set in and was diagnosed in 2006; last year it was confirmed that my severe advanced osteoporosis has escalated to degenerative one disease and several disks in my back and spine are now compressing upon each other causing chronic spinal nerve pain... along with a minor heart problem which is now apparently becoming more of a major one...Why am I sharing this? Because my friends even though I have been saddled with these ailments, I still stand fast and tall to God. There have been days and weeks, yes even months and years gone by wherein I truly wanted to hope because I forgot to die. My conditions made me worthless in my mind. I had no hope. Holding jobs while raising 5 children and trying to be a supermom and doing it all was taking its toll... eventually I just collapsed and rightfully so. But that is all in my autobiographical novel in progress, </em></span><br />

Is that where we are today? Are we unified? I wrote this poem from the perspective of Lady Liberty...What would our forefathers say to us if they were here today? I believe we are headed for another civil unrest.. on our own lands, among our own people. Yet we fight wars across the seas, send millions of dollars there, so that others might are arms against us and fellow Christians. The leadership of our country, in my humble opinion is sorely lacking in Christian virtues, morals and ethical practices that emulate a true leader and follower of God... please pray with me today as I ask for God to return His presence on our seas to shining seas... to grow fields of heroes who live and die for the red, white, and blue...and who are cherished for doing so. Let us become once again the great nation God intended us to be, and live in the land of liberty, where we live free, but LIBERTY is not free! It has a price and the sacrifices our brave men and women made and continue to make is that price. Our freedom was bought on the backs of men and women who are no longer here, who sweat and toil won our freedom.. today more brave men and women continue to fight for these God given liberties in our great land... will you take a STAND and join me today? I stand up for America!</span></span></b></div>

I met up with a friend from high school who also moved down here in VA, and his lovely wife and 3 of his six daughters, he invited my husband and I to attend the concert. It was called "WORSHIP NOW." Rusell Fragar is the artist along with his music ministry team. It was the most amazing concert I have ever been to. Get your copy download at </strong></span></div>

I cried today when the video came on of the marathon sprinter and 400 meter race in Barcelona, Spain, the runner fell and his dad raced down from the stands and literally held his on on his shoulder and helped him finish the race... he didn't win, but he finished, and that is the parallel to real life.. with God as our Father, we can and will run to win, for He is beside us every step of the way. The final yards he ran on his own, and finished the race... are you running to win in the race in your race with God for eternal life? Will you finish what you started and more importantly... how will you finish?

Very excited about tomorrow, as we are going to a music worship concert at The Hyltan Performing Arts Center here in Manassas, VA. A friend from back in my hometown actually leaves locally and near to us in Haymarket and he and his wife invited us to come and share in t he music worship. It shall be a lot of fun catching up on the last 42 years...that's in the evening and early afternoon we are going to a wine tasting from 12-2PM. Hope you all have some fun plans too! May God Bless You!</div>
