One person can change your life. I was attacked at my last job. I suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. I had nightmares for years. I could not stop reliving it in my dreams. My brain would not let me rest. It has been over 4 years and sometimes it seems like last week. I would feel well then all of a sudden I would have a flashback. It kept me from working. I had no desire to do any of the things I enjoyed. I could barely get out of bed. I have been in counseling and taking antidepressants.
I came into some information about that person. I wrestled with what to do with the information. After a couple of days, I made a call to a friend that knew someone who could get an investigation going. After a media mess and lawyers and law suit threats. This person lost their job.
If I ever got the chance, which I probably won't, I would say, "Isn't it amazing the power one person has to destroy another's life. One by being evil, nasty and hateful; attacking a person and one by making one phone call." I brought the attacker down. I feel healed.

The Dragon was Slained
1 min read
Tonight I slew the dragon. For years the teasing of my classmates in jr and sr high defined who I was, is and became. The binds that held be down and kept me from stepping forth to become what I could be in school still held me down as an adult. The fear of being teased and taunted. It really was a form of bullying. I tried to stay invisible and to fly under their radar. To be unseen was a safety net. If they could find me, they WOULD tease me. Make fun of my clothes, hair, or what I was doing. Yesterday at dress I was that frightened teen again. But tonight, opening night, I owned it! Was I perfect? No. Did I make mistakes or forget a line? Yes. Did fear stop me? Not tonight. I had a great time. I was her and I was okay.

Chance
2 min read
Go away blues. Go away day.
Time so slowly dwells and lingers.
It teases with its passing.
Sometimes so fleeting.
Other days, I hear every second of the clock ticking.
With each toc, a moment passes.
A chance to change the memories of tomorrow.
A chance to change someone's reality of today.
My reality, my memory.
But still I sit, unwanting to move.
No desire to go.
Unable? to change....for now.
Forgive my self for today.
Try to forget the regret of this day tomorrow.
Try to grab the chance today.
I have been sinking into a depression the last couple of months. I started a new job that I really like but I still have the blues. I have no Christmas spirit. I just want to stay in bed or on the sofa. I force myself to do what I need to. Everyone says I am over doing it but I was on a manic and I did accomplish a lot. Now I am on the downside. I do what I have to. Even if I don't want to. Like go to work. But I don't do what I don't have to.
I did audition for a play. I have never sang in a chorus in school or act in a church play. I have never been on a stage, not even to sweep it. I got a part with 12 lines and back up singing. I am excited. I think the dancing will be help with my depression. I have never taken dance so this will be my first time with chorography. Now that I made the commitment, I will go because I have to. I don't want to mess up when I am on stage.

Truth
1 min read
I have been pondering truth. What is truth? Is truth always truth and is truth the same for all? Someone might say this is how it happened and another says another way. What is true. They both think they are right but only one or perhaps neither is right. Or is truth the combination of both? Is how we view truth marred by our perspective? By our own beliefs and opinions. Is the truth now, always the truth? Just wondering.
