Beautiful Human Beings Tortured with CRPS/RSD

Just discovered this illness from a friend's blog. Unfortunately, her precious and valiant daughter is suffering from it.
You can read one account in her post here.

On her blog is the option to donate money as well; please help her out as she and her son have to stop working in order to care for their daughter and sister.

Lastly, you can pray for the wellbeing of  NECHAMA TZIPORAH, the daughter of ORAH TOVAH.

My best wishes to all you around the world suffering from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome!

Guests: 1) Unexpected 2) Unwelcome

Two shoutouts here in connection to guests.

The first, unexpected. When you and your house is a mess, knock on the door, ahhhhhh. Not the kinda guest you want seeing you in this state!
Oysh.

The second, unwelcome. Creditors. I recently got a threat, for a really small sum of money I owed a phone company, and the cold fear that entered my insides, made me realize how terrible it really is for others experiencing this on a "real" scale.
Oysh oysh oysh.

Good luck!

Unsuccessful Dieters

Shoutout to all un-successful dieters out there. Good luck. And, good luck with loving your body, and yourself, come what may.

Sorry for the mean comments :(

So you're strong, taking it all in stride, not letting life knock you down, building yourself stronger...and then someone close to you, a family member or friend, comes along and says "gee, she doesn't mind that (insert not-cool life scenario), let's go ahead and make fun of her."

 

Sucks. I know.

 

Shoutout to all the tough people out there who climb and climb, only to get punched down by someone who should've been supporting you.

 

Sucks. I really know.

Bumps In Your Hair

You know when you just can't get the bumps out of your hair, no matter how much you brush? And you can think of nothing else cuz you know the whole world is making fun of you-"What's WRONG with the girl? Why can't she manage to get her hair normal like the rest of us??"

So, first of all, I'm not making fun of you. I think you look totally normal. I definitely didn't notice the bumps till you pointed it out.
Second of all, I don't think you're ridiculous for caring so much even though your mother, brother, best friend may think you are. It's important for you, and that's perfectly okay.

Just wanna tell you, though, people look good when they FEEL good. So, if you feel confident in your bumpy hair, you're gonna look even better than the most straight haired pony-tail girl ever can!

(This message is also for the girls with frizzy hair. Or any other annoying hair thing.)

Caught in a Competitive Marriage

My next shout-out goes to all those fine folk who are caught in a competitive marriage.
A healthy marriage is where each side gives their best, and ultimately, receives the best in return.
But you don't focus on what you get back!
Each one should concern themselves primarily with the well-being of their other half.
Each one should want the OTHER one to have the best.
Too many people are living a "hey, no fair, if you get a vacation, I also get one!" kinda life.
Uh uh. No good. Stop it now.

Missing People, Missing

My first shout-out goes out to the people whose loved ones are no longer in the news, but are still missing. Either dead from natural causes, murdered in hate, or "simply" lost, people make the headlines, are spoken about, and then quickly forgotten when the next piece of news comes in. Added to the pain of their loss, family members experience a loneliness that the world has moved on.

I haven't.
I am thinking of your missing, hurt, pained, or dead loved one.
I am doing something in their honor, every day, to bring em back alive and well.
I really am. I await the final redemption with deeds, not only sighs.
