I’LL TRY HARD NOT TO CRY

Posted on January 24, 2013 by Judy

I believe in tears. I think crying is a healthy outlet. Tears lead to healing and releasing them are very important. But somehow, as the years went by – I stopped expressing myself in many ways. I preferred to deny tears, and soon I ended up feeling nothing at all. Continue reading →

YOU’RE MY ANGEL – PART 1

Posted on January 19, 2013 by Judy

You are my angel in the sky, like a butterfly

YOU FLEW AWAY

Posted on January 14, 2013 by Judy

Was I really helping other people with my optimism or bringing myself back into my former sad world? I’ve written many times that the amputation of my soul was a permanent condition.
