********Phenomenal Woman********
Nov 03, 2009
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

A Creed To Live By
Oct 27, 2009
Don't undermine your worth by comparing
yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people
deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as you would your life, for without them
life is meaningless.
Don't let your life slip through your fingers
by living in the past or for the future.
By living your life one day at a time,
you live all the days of your life.
Don't give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.
It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;
and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don't dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope;
to be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget
not only where you've been, but also where you're going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored
each step of the way.
(Nancey Sims)
I saw this and really liked it and thought it was worth sharing with others.
The many layers!
Oct 26, 2009
The second layer is shy, observant, causes, trusting, willing, and fine.
The third layer is unwilling, untrusted, over barring, still loving, and angry.
The fourth layer is fake, manifested, wanting to be accepted, and depressed.
The fifth and final layer is what you see on the outside, its late night binges, forgotten phone calls, fights with loved ones, the people in society who just keep talking and saying hurtful things, it everything everyone has ever done to me with out knowing they have done it. This is my way of pealing the layers back and getting back who i really am. I am the first layer with all the other layer pealing away!!
Almost Done!

So I just got back from the nutritionist, and it was an hour and a half seminar on the dues and don't of what you can and can't eat after surgery. I am so happy my next appointment is with the psych. on the 4Th of Nov. then they submit to insurance!
So I put my self on a diet so I can lose weight before surgery so my liver wont be so big (the Dr. said i didn't have to). So I've been drinking protein shakes for breakfast and dinner and eating a regular meal at lunch I didn't really think of putting anything in them but today I put peanut butter in my strawberry ice cream and it was really good! I'm hoping i can find some good concoctions for when i have the surgery.
On my way!

I went to my cardiologist today they did an EKG and sonogram of my hart! All was good, I got my medical clearance for surgery woo hoo.
I also found out that surgery should be in Dec. if all go's well with ins. Pray everything go's well with Ins.
Just wondering?
Oct 14, 2009
I got my labs done this morning. They took like nine vials of blood, and I had to breath into a little bag then drink this liquid and wait 15 min. breath into another bag for what i don't know. What I'm wondering is has anyone else had the breath test done? Are there any other test before surgery that you get? Thanks
Went to the Dr. Today!!!!!
