Part of Your World

In my teens which what about to say will show you my age, I love the movie Splash with Tom Hanks and Darryl Hannah.  It was the simpleness of the story and see how the ocean brought them together.  Then as I got older the Little Mermaid to this day still brings a tear to my eye. With all Disney movies, I wonder if I can find my prince in the water.

I love the ocean especially at night. It brings out this serenity and the darkness of the ocean as the wave crashes on the beach. The beach is open and belongs to no one but yourself.  I find it a place of solitude where tears have been shed for lost loves and difficult days where no one can see how it affected you.  With the tears of sadness can be washed into the ocean and then start the day anew. 

As I go into the ocean and explore what is around with a dolphin feel the water against my face and across my body. There is an innocence that cannot be explained only a feeling of how the water is against your skin.

As I ponder and look forward to even the dark waves crashing and drawing me into the deep wonders of the world underneath I am open. I am open to live for the now in the deep blue sea living among the water creatures and maybe finding my prince.

The Choice is Yours

In a real world, it would be nice for someone to make our choices for us. With them making the changes it means you do not have to responsible for whatever happens.  

As simple as it seems, there is no growth from it.  We are fortunate that we have the opportunity to make choices whether wise or dumb it comes down to you.  The choices we make makes us the person we are today.  With that the character aspects as part of making a choice is humility, defeat and happiness to name a few.  

If you have the power to decide for yourself, be grateful for those living in other areas cannot have that option.  Take a moment think of the individuals who lived in countries that the choices were made for them and if they disobeyed, they were punished. 

Live for today and no matter what the choice is whether good or bad the CHOICE is yours.

To be or not to be...that is the question


First, I like to say that as a person diagnosed with panic and anxiety disorder when uncertainty meant scary.  When I say scary on a scale ranging from one to ten, my score would be a thirteen due of the anxiousness of what uncertainty lies ahead. 

Since starting therapy a few months ago, one item on top of the list was to look at the uncertain.  When the feeling of uncertainty arose in me, the fear became overwhelming to the point that my face turned pale. 

If the uncertainty of how you feel makes you scared, you cannot allow the fear to overwhelm you.  If you are scared, believe in yourself to not fear it rather anticipate it whether positive or negative. 

If the uncertainty is exciting, take a three deep breath counts and count to five.  Remember when it is exciting remember to keep aware and not think logically because the emotions you just want to ride that high. 


The main thing of all is to be confident with yourself accept what uncertainty it will bring to you.  Whether it is exciting or scary, keep a clear mind before your emotions take the control and be regrettable.
