L To the Rescue
There is nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, better than a good, close friend. Especially one that knows you so well that you don't even have to say anything. I guess my blog, emails and just overall conversation lately threw up a distress signal and my L came to the rescue. She wasted to time or resources to jump on a plane and come to KY for an in-person visit. For that, her love, and our friendship, I am so grateful and beyond blessed.
Little Sister
I’m in a room full of people, and yet I feel so alone. This lonely feeling isn't new to me; it has been my way of life growing up as an only child. I was surrounded by my cousins who lived within arms reach of my childhood home, but I was the only grandchild without a sibling. I felt then, and still feel, lonely.
Patience Is A Virtue
More people left today; I think four. More leave later this week and a ton next week. That’s the thing about prison camps; someone is always leaving. Most people here have short sentences, are at the end of their sentences, or have violated. The beauty of people leaving is that you know you are about to leave too.
Scammers Get Scammed
There are also a lot of people who prey on the fear of individuals who have caught cases. They make promises they cannot keep or charge ridiculous amounts of money for services that individuals could do themselves with a little bit of assistance. These so-called "consultants" are, in their own right, scammers and frauds who I believe, in some way, feel justified in defrauding individuals caught up in the federal court system. I was a victim of these predators myself, not once but twice.
Living Vision
I was so fortunate to attend IVISD (Inner Visions Institute of Spiritual Development) years ago and I still utilize many of the tools I acquired while I was there. One tool I have decided to use to support me in these efforts is to create a living vision. I am also blessed to still be in contact with individuals who have also been involved with IVISD in some capacity.
