I’M SO THANKFUL

Posted on December 5, 2014 by Judy

WITH JOY WHEN I SING

Posted on June 7, 2014 by Judy

For most of my life, I seldom opened up to share my true feelings with anyone. I was too busy raising my children and surviving grief. Continue reading →

MY DREAM – PART 1

Posted on December 4, 2012 by Judy

It was the weekend before the 4th of July when I finally found the courage to tell my husband that our marriage was over. He was shocked, as I knew he would be. I found it interesting that he did not see it coming, considering how distant we were from each other. When I mentioned that, he admitted that he accepted the situation because, and these were his words: “Change is hard.” Continue reading →

I’LL SAY A PRAYER

Posted on September 26, 2012 by Judy

It was the Yarzeit or Jewish anniversary of Jason’s death day. I put out a memorial candle for him. I decided to attend services at my temple; this was something that I did so infrequently that I could count only a few occasions where I had gone into temple in the last 25 years. I sat with a good friend and she held my hand. Being able to see made such a difference. On the following day, my temple had invited me to share my music for one hour. How wonderful it would be to have my eyesight for that! My gratitude for my life was overflowing. I cried tears of joy as I stood up to say a memorial prayer. Continue reading →

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. Instead of being angry, I have decided that my husband actually did me a favor by pushing me to move out sooner and separate our money. I am not half blind. I am definitely strong and this is an opportunity for me to embrace it! I am not imagining myself running away anymore. Instead, I am preparing myself to board a big ship that will sail off to a beautiful and unknown destination. Continue reading →

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 →
