Affirmation for Peace!
"I feel peaceful and joyful"
If success was so common it wouldn't happen. Often times we fail more than anything and that becomes our teacher. What I have realized is that I'll have a sense of Joy and Peace as soon as I accept myself. It has been a difficult life, many traumatic experiences but, juxtaposed with love and unconditional love in the same light of time. Living past, present, future, has given me so many examples of what not to do that at 40 I hit my mid-life crisis I'm just getting started like a college student out of class. Life is just beginning I took to many general classes for the past 16 years Its time to step into my thesis; If life were simple then why do we exist? This motivational quote goes out to Justin VanAnderland, Young Adult Original Copy Officer captain; I pray for you that you would have peace and joy in your life you deserve it more than anyone right now. I hold onto my pillow at night praying you are home and okay. Please stay with them at the Edina House we love you Justin your our existence home.

I never would have thought to much but, a movie can really make you open up and write. I need to watch movies like Good Will Hunting more often to help me remember who I am and what I have overcome. In the process of overcoming the obstacles of weight in front of me I ask the Lord to bless me with a miracle one day to be at least 130lbs.
Today, after doing my last few writings I can find peace within myself and be joyful for the future. So often it is hard because its difficult to find the silver lining so often but today we really nailed it. We have learned, we have lived, and we have discovered it starts with YOU be who you are not who others want you to be.
I will truly find peace and joy when I accept myself as I am for not who I am but, what I am to the world that matters most. When my life is over I want to be remembered for making a difference in the lives I love with my words, my voice, my experiences to be happy ones so we can look back and have Deja vu. I want life to be lived with freedom of thought, the beauty of life and the love that keeps the flame in our hearts burning.
