surviving the refining of fire to emerge as i was always meant to be.

My photo
NE side of life, out in the country,, where the 4 seasons bring me to my knees, United States
standing still: to know God. to know the truth of my worth. to acknowledge self and others as unique and significant. to find and fulfill my purpose. to be ok with just being myself.

a short heart song


Fire Byrd said...
What makes your heart sing, and what makes it sad?I know it's two parts, but you didn't say I couldn't cheat!xx


ok firebyrd, here's my answers


what makes my heart sad?


well, i am certain there are many things that do this... but the one that comes to mind is the fact that child abuse is live and well, here and now, and it seems nothing can really change the rising statistics of this very disheartening thing. i think that is enough said, but if anyone wants to know more or to discuss this then check out my other blog... that is the purpose of my posting on that one... btw... new post there today.


and what makes my heart sing?


that would be when i spend any time communicating with supportive and accepting people, esp friends. i think this is my most joyful time and my most relaxing 'as myself' with my guard down kinda' time. and that includes my online friends, too. :O)


that is the best i can do with this topic today... i am generally much more talkative... but i am quite down as of late... and it makes it hard to write like i usually want to do. being myself and saying where i am at and knowing that will be just fine with all of you... that is what i'm talking about... can't you hear my heart singing?


hugs to all, if ok.

lovingly,

coral
ps this art piece is for sale, $75+ S&H let me know if you are interested :O)

what is the question you would ask me?


hello all,


been in and out keeping up with other's blogs but not feeling like coming up with a topic.... so i thought i would ask you to ask me a question that would make a good blog entry.... ok? making me laugh is a plus, btw!! i love to laugh. i live to laugh. laughter sees me thru anything.... if i can survive to my next laugh, then i keep on going looking for the next one after that... you get the gist. i love to laugh :OD


adding a picture of the winter wonderland in which i live.


and here's a question for your post if you wish to take it, fair is fair.... i'll answer this one, too.


in which way does your character show in your living space... i.e. the place where you are most comfy being you?


my room.... my 'playroom' reflects me in many ways... the chaos in which all the things are placed upon and below the craft table and the emptiness of the storage space is so like me; i feel like i have everything in my head pulled out of hiding but nothing much is put away in any storage areas...makes for scattered thoughts and a tough bit of effort to cope thru it all.... thus i go to classes to help me focus on sorting it all out so i can be productive again.


the walls are carefully 'scrap booked' to display pictures and sayings and letters and notes and coral colored things all that show my heart. my miniature boxes are collecting tiny things in tiny spaces... both of which i wish i could still do... that is i would like to be tiny again and crawl down into a small place, at times, and hide.


my pc is here... how i connect with people from all around the world... those i am friends with that i have never seen face to face... and information is only a typed word and a google away.


my space, where no one can tell me how to change it or keep it... the only space i have in my life that is like that!


BTW thanks for your replies to my last post... i really needed that validation and was happy to see that asking for it made what i needed to come about.... thanks to my friends.


ttys,
