A sky full of Lighters represents my angels and 1 year later…

I try very hard to live my life the best way I can, but I know I can always try even harder.

One year and one score away from an almost ending to a new beginning established in my life, I feel great knowing I feel new. In two  years, I have had 2 major surgeries which makes me feel today, spleenless, oops, I mean speechless as I noticed I have been operated on twice. I’ve been given a second chance at life or may be I just have 9 lives like a cat. My surgeries are truly a blessing to keep me alive so I can live a fulfilled life doing the many things I want to do to achieve great feats.

If it wasn’t for a truly good friend to help me get through my surgery last year, I don’t know where I would be today because she sure had the experience with her previous heart surgeries to be able to help me.  You can read about my friend on her blog Ellen’s Crazy Life.  It amazes me how this person spent time with me on the phone answering all my questions about Open Heart Surgery.  I have so many people who care about me so much especially my family.

My emotions draw in to the feelings I feel toward others.  I feel for others so much. I only want the best for any one especially myself emphasizing love, connections, warmth, and achieving talents by positive influence in helping anyone to gain satisfaction in their lives.

What better can a person do to help another?

I believe life is strong and hope is our newest generation to achieve.  Sometimes things happen to start new beginnings in a person’s life.  I am in a new beginning with a new chance at life.

I may have had problems connecting beforehand learning to symbolize who I am, but now I am off to a good start.  My life keeps on getting better even though I am at the beginning of my new era.

I wonder what joys I can give to others now, but most importantly to myself.  I wonder if I can bring peace and harmony to my spirit because by doing so, I bring peace and harmony to the world. It may take some time, but at least I am showing what I want to do and show I will do it.  Second chances, third chances, etc don’t come very often, but I know I am needed to do so much and get my life in order. I still have much to process what I learn and continue to learn in the future.  So here it is, I am moving forward in this life to be the best I can be fulfilling my name as a blessed celebration.  I know I haven’t done much yet, but I will!

It’s important to be a leader and carry your own weight.  Adaptations has been great as well as my family who gave me things I need to know.  Friends I meet either from conferences I have been to or Adaptations or my many friends in Ultrasound I have met through the years formed a great network of people in my life.  Now its time to branch out even more.

Sometimes I am stronger than usual, sometimes I am feeling down, but sometimes I just need to see the people, places, friends, and family who are always supporting me from so many different places even from around the world. DMC gave me so much. I feel so grateful in my life and thankful I can continue to strive for greater successes.  I certainly can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings to give me an even better life. My rebirth in to this world is a blessing because now I have the chance to do everything I ever wanted to do and get it done.

As a sky full of Lighters is surging around, I am feeling very pleased and happy my angels are around always.

The empathy is the key to our life ahead of us as well as feeling inspired

How many of you have empathy? How much empathy do you have? Empathy is a way for our emotions to feel what other people feel. So, how do people know if they are empathetic or not. The most empathetic individuals seem to go the most far. Empathy seems to grow more by the experiences we have in our past. Some people can feel other people’s emotions when they are very young.

Here is an image of empathy:

Notice the way the two hands are holding each other. They must feel each other’s feelings through the touch by the colors surrounding the image.

Every one is different and unique in many ways. So, how can you interpret one person and think some one else sitting next to them is the same. To be truly empathetic, each person has their differences yet can relate to similar experiences. People on the Autism Spectrum are not the same, we are all different, but can relate to similar situations we all had. Yet, the experiences we all have are what tells our own story from one person to the next. I am happy to see many other people on the Autism Spectrum telling their stories on YouTube, blogs, and even social networks like Facebook. It is important to tell YOUR story so that other people can listen and may be even relate. The picture below gives you an example of the experiences many people on the Autism Spectrum face.  Some people think people on the Autism Spectrum lack empathy, but that certainly is not the case all the time.

I imagine many times in in our life we feel inspired to do great things by observing someone else or by creating an idea in our minds which can help others.  Today I saw another amazing picture from one of my Facebook Friends where he created Autism Buttons of inspiring words for any one on the Autism Spectrum to feel great about themselves.  It is all about Self-Esteem when you feel good about yourself, but not arrogant.  Yet, every one is different and faces different battles in their life.  

If ever you want to know true empathy, look in to an Animal’s eyes. For instance, look in to Chloe’s eyes and you will see how she can feel your feelings.

I will be posting more stuff really soon so gear up my DMC readers.

Thinking of everyone in more ways than one

I know I have lapsed for a week, but have no fear I am just writing some things on paper first before I write on the computer.  I am also making a scrapbook of my life.

It is quite interesting to do a scrapbook and I bought a book to learn how to draw fantasy creatures. I am going to draw fantasy creatures in my scrapbook.

My dear DMC readers who have been so committed to reading my website, I hope you have a great week. I am going to definitely have a great week myself.

Thinking of you eCards are always a good thing to send every once in awhile to show you are caring about the people who care about you.

A suggestion is a website:

Here it is,
