  • 21 Days to a Better View

    rain-bow-butterfly-mcmuseumThat is how long it has been since I have blogged. This project for me has been like my little baby. I’ve nurtured all the messages I’ve written and feel in a way like I abandoned ship. But I do have good reason. I have been nurturing my soul in a new way. I met someone before my surgery and after my halo on my ankle wasremoved, I have been out like a free bird enjoying the light heartedness that comes with dating some one new that feels like it has potential to grow into something deeper.

    It has caught me totally by surprise, but after a few weeks of enjoyment of the newness, imy mind had bursts of outrage, like ” are you out of your mind?” What if he is some clever, manipulating and calculating one that is pretending to be nice.” “Don’t fall into that trap again,or its all
    over”. I felt myself like I was ready to fall into an unknown territory
    especially since it feels so “right”. The bottom line is trust- much of what has been broken in the past. I realized that my fear is not only a broken trust, but a broken heart. Who wants to go thru that again. (more…)

  • More Steps Till I Can Fly

    I now have another step to take in this process which is physical therapy. My mind is already racing and wanting to get alot of things done. I want to go to the office and a small part of me starts to get into that stress syndrome once again. Last year, I took a few days in my home to retreat in silence, journaling and reading books.  By the third day, I wasn’t sure what to do, but what ended up happening was that it was the most creative time of my life after that self imposed retreat.

  • My Foot is Free…Getting There

    Yesterday I got the halo off of my foot. All in all, the pain wasn’t so bad as I thought. My friend Dan, had given me a good visual to do when the pins were being taken off. The visual was to say thank you  to the pins for supporting my ankle during this time of healing. The doctor had to use pliers to cut the pins so the structure could be removed and then the pins were taken out. (more…)

  • Feeling Vulnerable

    With less than a week until my contraption comes off my foot, and feeling cocooned in my home for 5 weeks, I decided to go out to lunch today with my son. As he was about to step out the door, he saw a flash of light and seconds later a roaring thunder that sounded like a bomb. I had never heard lightning strike so loud. Our hearts were racing, we got scared out of our wits. Sparky, my Labrador’s legs were shaking and we decided to stay in. Needless to say, my laptop computer got fried to a crisp, even though it was grounded. The external drive connected to it also got fried.(Good thing I also have this desktop) (more…)

  • Can You Be a Hero?

    The purpose of creating and naming this site Resurrect Your Hero is that we feel that everyone has the potential to overcome obstacles, adversities, challenges, pain and suffering with the right frame of mind and attitude and rise above them. Circumstances in our lives are all different. When I was growing up my mom used to always say, “Someone else has a greater cross to bear.” In other words, others may be experiencing greater challenges than whatever we may be going thru in a particular moment.

  • Do 2 Voids Make a Whole?

    What happens when you are with someone who is wanting a relationship to fill a void vs. sharing because they are filled? How can you get to the point where you  can be the latter? Is it possible? How can you know in the beginning of a relationship if it is the first – having someone to fill a void. I suppose that when you are doing the same(filling a void), then it would be hard to see. Do 2 voids fill up or better yet, how can 2 voids become filled? (more…)
