Starting My Life From Scratch
Yet, I must confess, I hold a special place in my heart for my goddaughter/niece Annie. If you have read prior posts, I have mentioned her and her heroic way in which she has faced starting her life from scratch after her auto accident and subsequent brain traumatic injury.
Having survived the challenges of covid and the isolation that came with the worldwide lockdown, I am acutely aware of the damage to one’s psyche that can come with isolation and loneliness. It’s funny, as a writer I also know there is a vast difference between being alone and loneliness.
Getting organized may seem like a no-brainer to folks who are born organizers. I think this may be my biggest challenge but, I am ready to do whatever it takes.
I woke up determined to carve out an hour of listening time to my Audible copy of Stephen King’s “Fairy Tale. What started out as an hour of listening turned into three hours of being engrossed in the creative mind of a master storyteller.
At the same time, if you surround yourself with positive people who you can laugh with, share your joys and sorrows and still leave their presence feeling happy and with a smile on your face, these folks are keepers!
Yet, I have a faith in myself and my love of writing that instead of panicking, I take a deep breath and remind myself to keep going. I chant “NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO” then I refocus and things seem to be falling into place.

I encourage everyone who reads this post to take the time right now to click on the link and listen to Dr. Chatterjee and Dr. Jamnadas explain the benefits of fasting. Listening to both clips will be well worth your time.
. I am not beating myself up for things that are not working like I did almost habitually. Instead, I chant “Nam Myoho Renge Kyo” to myself to remind myself I am connected to an unlimited source of power within me, and that tends to keep me calm and balanced. I quickly realize I need to get through this difficult moment no matter what.
The clip is from my favorite health podcast entitled “Feel Better Live More” hosted by Dr. Rangan Chatterjee. Dr. Chatterjee, the author of “Happy Mind, Happy Life”is based in the UK and he has a very engaging way of making complex medical information not just digestible to the regular person but also understandable.
It was a nice overcast Saturday afternoon as I strolled the path. The great thing about walking is it quiets the mind and allows me to relax and listen to my inner voice or intuition
