HELPING ME COPE, MY DREAM GIVES ME HOPE

Posted on September 19, 2012 by Judy

After today, it will be the end of one week coping with two different eyes. I have only 19 more days to go until my second eye surgery.

I WAIT BEHIND A CURTAIN

Posted on August 31, 2012 by Judy

Soon, I hope the curtain of blurriness will lift after my cataract issues are resolved. But the true meaning behind my post title is my dream of stepping out from behind a curtain onto a stage. The dream that I carry is that someday I will become well known in my pursuit of helping people suffering with grief or other challenges in their lives. I believe I will be embraced by many people for my honesty. I look forward to singing with joy and spreading my message of hope. Continue reading →
