What's your take? (click here)

Schmidty  

WHO ARE YOU?

Who Are You?

There are numerous ways to lose your own sense of self. There are things you can do to help preserve that, no matter what happens. This sense of self is essential in any self-improvement program.

*Know your purpose
Identify your life purpose or mission statement and you will have your own exclusive compass that will lead you to your truth north every time.

* Know your values
What do you value most? Is it love, family, freedom? Knowing exactly what is important to you will reassure you in times of doubt.

*Know your needs
Do you have a need to be acknowledged, to be correct, to be in control, to be loved? There are so many people who lived their lives without realizing their dreams and most of them end up being stressed or even depressed.

*Know your passions
What gets your blood flowing? What makes you angry? Determined? Knowing what fuels your emotions will help you know what you need to do.

*Know your inner being
Increase your awareness of your inner wisdom by regularly reflecting in silence. Breathe deeply to quiet your distracted mind. Don't shun silence and alone time. Relish it. It is during these moments that your true self makes an appearance.

*Know your strengths
What are your positive traits? What special talents do you have? You can increase your self-confidence when you can share what you know to others.

*Give freely
When you are true to yourself, living your purpose and giving of your talents to the world around you, you give back in service what you came to share with others -your spirit - your essence.

They say "To thine own self be true." This is one of the truest statements ever made. Know yourself and be the you you were born to be.

Helping the Homeless step by step

 Reach 4 Salem is a non-profit corporation with ideas to support the Homeless step by step from the sink hole they are in, too leading a respectful life in the community.  We are the first to design a way of help which involves an invitation to the Homeless to better themselves through pride, encouragement, and word of mouth. This is a process that curtails agencies budgets by reducing clients, which are only looking for a free ride. Looking for help to land a job requires training. Training requires self convenience, mentally and physically. Self convenience requires knowledge, clothing, appearance, food, housing, transportation and support groups. All help must be located in one place in order for the client to focus.

I wish to see a light at the end of the tunnel, even if it is just one lone firefly.

My name is Deborah. It has been a very lonely road for Kyle and Clay and myself, for the past five years. I suffered a severe mental breakdown in 2002-03. Post Traumatic Stress, and other hidden disorders. I was hospitalized, at the time of the event my boys just 12 and 13. I am the beautiful mom that made magic real, the tooth fairy, the valentine fairy, birthdays and all the Holidays. I never did drugs, smoked nor am I an alchoholic. I am a very good person, I have raised these two young men, now 17 and 19,who have prooven to be my real heros. Let me just say we have lived through the impossible the unheard of, the saddness the abondonment, and have rich memories and very deep convictions, related to positive mental health care.

I have been hospitalized on many occasions, during the past few years. Living through still a second trauma, with the most scariest ordeals that are at times inhumain, I have struggled alone.

I am always of sound mind, clear thinking and appear to be calm, happy spirited, kind hearted and extremely compassionate.

I work very hard each day to maintain composure. My children are my heartlights and they are the continueous feed that moves me to awareness in my most desparate moments.

Geez...This was not where I ever, ever, even could comphrend I would be 8 years ago.

I am productive, a workaholic, a mover and a shaker, never idol. Did everything with my kids. On my way to just being content. A nice career as a food service supervisor for a major grocerey store, a nice place to live, a nice car, my kids and I were, great.

Today, my children can't remember when I had my own house, a car, a stable life,safe and warm with my great stuff still in storage a thousand miles away, just to be all together again....living with the boys and my things that remind me of who I am, and what I am about, feels unattainable.

Now as the tears stream steady down my face... in the quiet of the room I am renting, I miss  the Kyle, the Clay... I love them and miss the huge hugs that we share, the laughter, the honesty of our words. The truth of us is only in our hearts and not known to many.

They are in an envirement that I never wanted to see them in, even though it is with thier father, ( he had never participated in their life until 2007) I worry I am scared and God you know how my heart aches for them.

I dont know what I need. That little happy firefly could get me to smile.

I am grateful for all that is here and now, for all the great people who have helped me through the healing process, and continue to.

Bless the child who is of his own. Bless the mothers who compose and smile, Bless the strength of individuals who just walk forward. Bless the hearts for those who are grateful.

I wish for the sick and wounded spirits, that can find with in themselves that joyful spirit....it may be lost, or quiet, to find that one thing that tickles them everyday.

with grace and perfect ways

your daughter, your sister, your friend.

Can anyone help us ??

Hmmm let me see...My fiance is disabled and i am a healthcare aide(housefiance)and we are trying to buy a house in Iowa. We havent found out if we got it yet. Our  main concern now is that we dont have any extra money for the closing costs or the property evaluation or the tital search that we are sure they are going to want. We dont have any money for furniture even if we do get the property  because he is on disability income due to kidney failure and other medical reasons, and we will be able to afford the morgage and the bills . We are trying to get some help from family and friends but it seems that they are all in the same boat as we are in. I have been searching some of the grant programs on the web but we are not a orginazation and i have no idea where to really start looking..I downloaded 1 program for free but then they tell you in order to use the "free "program you have to regester it for a lot of money which i dont have.I was wondering if anyone has any good ideas on where to start looking..any help will be appriciated  and i also belive in the Pay it forward idea and if i recieve any help I will be more then happy to Pay it forward... thanks in advance .Sharon Delvecchio aka  weebbles wobble sharondelvecchio@hotmail.com
