God's mercies are supposed to be new EVERY morning! This is the beginning of a new week. I am looking forward to trying this thing again. My main concern is the diabetes. For whatever reason, I can't seem to get this thing under control. There will be no losing my eye sight, toes, kidney damage... time to go get it together. I'm hoping to walk at least 25 plus miles this week and start doing some ab work. The more I move the better I feel. Stay tuned! Gotta ATTACK whatever it is that keeps me from being 100% healthy.
New Beginnings... it's time!
Make it good!

And so it begins...
Random thoughts this morning...
I haven't performed in months. I haven't REALLY performed in years when I think about it. Yes, I have sung in class and in rehearsals to help my kids learn. But somewhere down the line I simply... stopped. I have been peeling back the layers of the onion to try and figure out where, when, and how this became a problem. And it is a problem.
I grew up singing. I thought for sure I was going to be the next Donna Summers when I was a kid. When I got older... it was Anita Baker or Nancy Wilson when I fell in love with jazz. But today... today I will be singing at a graduation. Not only will I be singing again, but I am going for the gusto and I am actually singing a song that my Aunt Janice Carr was known VERY WELL for singing. I will sing it EACTLY the way she sang it, because I haven't heard anyone sing it like her. Her version was simply put: REMARKABLE!
I believe that our family speaks house from the beyond. I believe that there are people in your life that speak on behalf of God even when you're not so in tune with what is being said. I have had so many people tell me "you need to sing more." Whatever it is that has held me back- I think it is about to leave.
Random thoughts: I need to believe and tell myself... I CAN do this... I am enough...and I have something to say. Period. I'm sure Auntie will help me sing her song today...only it will be my voice.
Make it real good!

Random Thoughts about "NEW"
I can't even begin to put it into words what it feels like to be in a new home. God has been good to me. I confess, I am learning how to trust Him all over again. There have been so many disappointments in life the past 6 months. There have also been too many people who just wanna tell me "TRUST GOD..." I CONFESS: I have stayed away from these people to try and catch my breathe.
Surgeries... deaths... and I am supposed to TRUST GOD... I'm just trying to figure out how you do that and pick up your face when it's buried in tears and grief. It's all good. This NEW SPACE ... this NEW BEGINNING is the catalyst for change. Pain is a precursor for change. I know this. I learned that lesson eons ago.
And so it is... What's next? I know it's GOTTA BE ONLY GOOD with the year that I have had. Stay tuned friends. Stay tuned. On the flip side: I have had the guts to pray..." show me how to trust you again? Show me... I've lost sight of how to do this. But we shall see. Only time will tell... for now...
I'm enjoying my new beginning in a new area of the Chi and in a new CLEAN...MOLD FREE: HOME
