Be yourself

Be true to you...with a little help
make the connection
say what you feel
and smile, more

Word for 2011

My word of the year is TRY.
I give up too easily,
I don't start because I think I'll never finish,
This year if it looks interesting,
if it looks worthwhile,
if it's something I always wanted to do,
well, this year I'm going to TRY
and lets see how much more I can achieve

Send a hug xxx

Hello people
*
Just a quick note. I hope you can help.
During my early morning blog session I came across a so tragic and sad situation. 
*
A blogger, Lori, who I occasionally pop into visit when I fancy a giggle (such a funny girl) now has to face life alone with her two little ones after her husband Tony died yesterday.  He was 34.  Lori is 29.   He harmed himself, in front of her, which was as she says, during a psychotic episode but completely out of character.  During a torturous bedside vigil she forgave him his actions but had to watch as each medical intervention failed and Tony left her.
*
Lori's blog is the Random Ramblings of a Stay at Home Mum and she's in Sydney Australia.
*
If you're able to leave her a message I know it's hugely appreciated, as Lori says
 "This- the Internet, my community- this is where I've been coming when the pain is so bad I cannot breathe. I read your messages, I feel your prayers, and it gives me faith and comfort".
*
Thank you kind peeps.
(and I won't be complaining, or moaning at my man today, at all, promise).

  6. Thanks Lily, she was such a fun read, irreverent and normal, an antidote to yummy mummy, but has now posted to say
    'the Lori you know has gone' :(

  10. Hi Pamela,
    I sent my prayers and wishes to Lori and her children. I almost lost my son last year in an accident but even still I can't even begin to imagine the horror of her situation. May God be with her and bring her some kind of peace.

  15. Pamela,
    From you I came to know about Lori's loss.I tried to comfort her with my words. I am not sure, that words can offer any comfort to such a terrible loss....
