I love Iyanla. Her approach to life is refreshing, as she preaches what she has experienced. Unlike some spiritual and life coaches.

If you have a loved one that has been diagnosed or displays BPD behavior, and you’re at your wits end…. I recommend reading the book Stop Walking on Eggshells.
I have a link to download the PDF ebook of Stop Walking on Eggshells, and a link to the Workbook.
Hope it helps someone.

Another very good resource for support and in depth information is BPD Central.

Before the moment you are passing through
Like a sunlight reappearing
As the clouds withdrew
Was it you who left me wondering
What the world outside my window leads
It's the strangest kind of feeling
Oh so bittersweet
You will go where you need to
I hope you will find peace
And anytime you start to believe
That everyone in life just leaves your side
Please remember me
Anyone can see the sorrow
But there's a tenderness behind your scars
And I was there when you were laughing
I know who you really are
You will go where you need to
I hope you will find peace
And anytime you start to believe
That everyone in life just leaves your side
Please remember me
The cooler weather I feel with the windows open
Enjoying the breeze, the different colored leaves
Fall is finally here
Pumpkin patches every where
Decorated with goblins and spooks
I hear the crackling of the turning leaves
As the Autumn breeze whispers through the trees
Clouds move though the sky covering the brilliant sunshine
Filling the air with a crisp chill on my face
Watching each leave fall into place
Hearing the roars of laughter outside
As kids run and play
Talking and making plans for another day
Soon it's dusk and time to come inside
One by one they say good-bye
Before calling it a night
Autumn's song recalls memories of way back when
Cutting and carving just the right pumpkin
Raking and piling leaves ever so high
Looking like they almost reach the sky
Then running and diving in squealing with delight
Gathering around the bales of hay
Building a bonfire to warm the night at the end of the day
Sleeping with the windows open wide
Enjoying the coolness of the night
Hide and seek, trick or treat
Seeing the empty cornfields
Scarecrows standing all alone
Harvest time, come and gone
Winter soon to come along
Knowing these days of fall won't be around long
Enjoying the evening breezes of Autumn's song

I cannot count the number of times someone has told me, "Oh Wendy you can handle it, you're the strongest woman I know." While I have been through some tough situations in my lifetime; I am only human and sometimes, I just want someone to listen to me, a shoulder to cry on, or someone else to take care of things.
Know that it's ok to ask for help; it's ok to cry a while; it's ok to lay in bed for the day; it's ok to not be able to fix it all; it's ok to let someone take care of you for a change. That doesn't mean your weak; it only means you are in touch with your true feelings, wants, and needs; and in all honesty, it takes a really strong person to admit their weaknesses.

On those days when I am feeling much less than every one else;
When things aren't turning out like I planned;
When what others say and think , seem to matter more than it should;
When my dreams seem to be far out of sight;
I will step aside and start my day over;
I will take a deep breath and release the negative thoughts of clutter;
I will stand up and tell myself , I matter just the same;
I will refuse to put myself through unnecessary pain;
Knowing that I too matter;
No, I will not give others permission to live in my head;
No I will not be held back any longer;
Today I will believe in me instead!!!

I love Wendy’s Facebook page and Website. She offers wonderful affirmations and inspiration for daily living.
Hope everyone has a GREAT evening!
... that God will get you through the pain. Everyone experiences pain sometimes, emotional and physical. Next time it threatens to overwhelm you, take a deep breath. As you breathe slowly, picture God holding you, crying with you, giving you the strength to get through.
There are times when life can be overwhelming;
We don't know why we are feeling certain feelings;
We think there's something wrong with us;
We just can't seem to figure it all out;
Take a deep breath and know;
It's ok not to have all the answers;
There is nothing wrong with you;
The answers will present themselves when the time is right;
For now, Just Be Where You Are!
Relax and enjoy this life you have been given;
Quit trying to figure it all out;
Confusion can cause us to miss out on so much of life's joys;
So STOP, TAKE A DEEP BREATH, AND LET IT OUT;
It's not about knowing all the answers;
It's about taking chances , stepping out beyond the known;
And trusting this process called life;
Do what's in front of you and let God do the rest!!

Friends of mine had a beautiful baby girl a month ago, and I just had to make this sweet child a blanket! It’s not my best work, but she doesn’t seem to mind. :)
Isn’t she so precious!?!
"Dear God and Archangel Michael, thank you for helping me to know that it's safe for me to:
Be powerful
Open my heart to divine love
Speak my truth clearly and lovingly
Express my creativity
Be my authentic self
Change my life in healthful ways
Awaken my natural healing abilities
Enjoy and appreciate my life
Follow my inner guidance
Answer to my own inner authority
Ask for and accept help from others
Thank you for helping me to find meaning and joy in each moment, and for guiding me to make a positive difference in this world."

"Releasing someone that you care for can bring pain;
A pain that many of us do not care to feel;
Releasing someone doesn't mean we do not care;
It only means that no longer are we willing to grovel in despair;
We can no longer deny what stares us in the face;
If it's letting go we must do;
Then cling to another, until the pain subsides;
Then do what you must do for you!"
~~ Wendy
This is my favorite song by her.
"Someone Like You"
I heard That you're settled down
That you
Found a girl
And you're
Married now
I heard
That your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things
I didn't give to you
Old friend
Why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back
Or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead,
Yeah.
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday
It was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise
Of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead.
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known
How bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead.
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead.
“Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes is hurts instead.”

(The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth am I Here for?)
This quote is an excellent reminder for me to look into taking Reiki classes. I have a gift, and I really need to develop it more so I can use it to help other people who are in pain, like I am a lot of the time.
Sometimes we try so hard to figure it all out.
We often wonder whether or not we are making the right choices;
So much so that we miss out on what is most important….
LIFE ITSELF!!!
Just LET GO and LIVE.
If lessons are to be learned, the chance to make a different choice will return.
But for this moment, this very second, just live life and give yourself a break. You don't have to have all the answers….
YOU JUST HAVE TO LIVE!!
I took grandma on an adventure today! At first I was just going to stop at Wendy's for a sandwich, then Walgreens for a few things, but changed my mind. I kept driving and we ended up in Chesterland! We stopped and visited with three of my friends, saw my brother, then ended up at my Dad's. Grandma LOVED all the horses!! She was sooo cute! Today, I made special memories for my heart!
These are photos of my Dad showing off a couple horses to grandma!
