Time for the MS walk!

It's that time of year again to start lacing the shoes and stretching out. The MS walk is around the corner. This disease affects so many and hits close to home. I have family and friends that have been diagnosed. They are so close to a breakthrough, and some day I am faithful it will happen. Until then, I walk, putting one foot in front of the other each step a step closer to a cure. With your Prayers, Healing Thoughts, Well Wishes and Donations, it will happen... it will happen that some day where the diagnosis of MS instead of bringing fear and despair, will be like a flue and the docs will say... OK this is what you have and here is the CURE..... Each step we take brings us closer to finding a cure...  Can you see that day? Can you dream that dream? I thank you for any and all help and support.

May you be Blessed, may your family and friends be Blessed. And may everyone that suffers be Blessed with God's Healing Power and Grace.  Love and Light, Nina P

There is this disease that's called MS

It effects the kindest souls

People with such promising lives

MS can put on hold

No one shares quite the same story

Yet a common thread prevails

In Hopes and prayers for a cure

The research is almost there

So open hearts and generous souls

And lets help fund a cure

With every gift there is new Hope

For  a happy healthy tomorrow

I walk each year to spread the word

And shine a little Light

Prayers, healing  thoughts and donations

Will help to  find a cure

I Thank you for your kind support

Regardless of its type

MS will meet its match one day

Because of all your help

written with Love and Light, and Hopes for a cure

To New Beginnings

I know I have been neglectful or sporadic at best in keeping up with everyone that I care about.

I want to Thank you dear souls for all your love, compassion and support since I have started this journey. I am continuing on this path with new convictions. I, however, cannot make predictions as to how often I will post or visit my friends here. Know that even if I do not answer or post, know that everyone here is in my thoughts and prayers. I am not leaving per say, just taking away my own guilt for not responding to inquests and visiting as often as I used to. It is the (technology) computer NOT THE PEOPLE, that I am trying to balance better and unfortunately, since blog land is on the computer, it effects my correspondence but not my Love and Caring for each of you.  So please forgive if I do not visit as often as I did last spring and before...  Life is Good and I am Blessed to be able to share it with you; my blog family and friends.... and I will continue to do so as often as I can... Balance... not easy as you sometimes have to readjust things to keep it....  This is not the end but a new beginning....

I have been working on various  projects; spiritual, physical, creating, writing poetry and a fun book(s) for children of all ages and possibly even a song... I am the great procrastinator letting fear rule at times.... I burned that and other things that no longer serve me.. sending all up in smoke... now to let the ash mix with the soils of life... God is a master Gardener.. for each new day, let me be the seed... growing roots of strength and courage.... sprouting as a child of wonder and excitement to face each day come what may.. for it takes both the sun and the rain to grow.... even the seasons change for a reason... cultivating creating... the constant revolution of life...the turning of the earth around a glorious sun in a galaxy of planets and stars.... Every one, every-thing can tap into this wonder... to be, to love, to grow, to create, to share, to heal, the list is endless...

Now my wish for all of you for 2011 . May the new year bring many Blessings and may your lives be filled with Abundance.

May Love and Light chase away ills and fears and  fill your being with such wonder, courage, Hope, Peace, Joy and possibilities Today and always. This is the first day of the rest of your life. What we do with it is up to us.

Blessings to you and yours,

Love and Light,

Nina P
