  When my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Wingsofencouragement was hacked and I lost over 500,000 followers (and yes you will hear me mention that often) I fell apart on the inside; I felt so violated, so abused, & confused; I just didn’t understand at all; I kept asking myself questions like, Why God? Why Me, I was helping others?   These and so many more questions and thoughts went on in my head.  It was as if someone had ripped my heart right out of my chest; At first I thought it wasn’t what it looked as, then I thought it would be fixed quickly, but when I realized that getting in touch with facebook and getting them to fix anything was next to impossible; I began to cry.  Those tears lasted for days.  I would go from being okay to be devastated in a matter of seconds. Yes this page meant so very much to me,, I created it in September of 2010 and I we were a thriving community; we helped each other through difficult times and we shared our hearts with one another in hopes that it would help just one person. I have written a book and that book was to be released on Wings soon; along with some inspirational jewelry and the signature bracelets for Wings of Encouragement..  Then the hacking came.  I fought, sent emails, messages, more emails, and on and on.  Reported issues , on and on; yet facebook has yet to even respond.  Facebook removed me as Administrator of my own account and I was the only Administrator; and stated that I was the one who asked for it to be done.  I didn’t of course, I mean why would I, I was the only Administrator; Anyways facebook removed me as Administrator and sent all 500,000 + followers to another page. Yes it still stings and I still get teary eyed but I keep moving forward believing that God will redeem not only that which was taken from me, but far greater more than I could imagine.   I had to recreate Wings and the page is doing well; we aren’t getting that much traffic, but we are up and going at 20,000 plus and that was done in only a few days.  I will keep pushing forward, keep sending emails to facebook, & keep hoping and praying; For today I know that I am worth it and so are my dreams and I will fight for it all, because today I am worth it.

It’s my choice

Sometimes I am not sure what it is that I am feeling;
Sometimes the feelings are more than I care to handle;
Sometimes I get so confused that I shut down;
Sometimes I stray from what it is that I know I am suppose to do;
Sometimes I sit and I cry;
Sometimes I question my mere existence;
When those times come, it doesn’t mean that I am hopeless;
It doesn’t mean that I am a horrible person;
Maybe it’s time I took a closer look at what it is I am doing in life;
Maybe I need to reevaluate my true purpose;
Maybe I’ve gotten off track in my daily meditation;
Maybe I stopped praying;
Maybe I’m angry because something didn’t go or turn out the way “I thought it should have.”
Whatever the case may be, I can always start over.
I can reach out to someone and ask for help;
I can write about my “true” feelings & resentments;
Putting them on paper seems to be very therapeutic;
Yes at any given moment I can start my day over, amend my wrongs (take care of my side of the street), and give myself a break.
Whatever the case may be, I HAVE A CHOICE;
I can choose to look at things as though I am a failure (negatively)..OR;
I can choose to be grateful for the awareness of it all, because without awareness I can not change that which I do not like.
So, Dust yourself off, get out of the self-pity mode, and start over; it’s never to late to begin again!!!

Give yourself a break.

 

Over the past several months I have noticed myself experiencing some old thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors.  Of course I let it go on for way too long, but the past few days, I’ve been taking some time to do some self-reflection.  While I may not have pin pointed the exact nature at the core of my inner self; I have become aware of how quickly low self-esteem, codependency, insecurity, fear, loneliness, isolation, and the loss of purpose and hope, can take over my life when I am not practicing my personal program of self-care.

With that being said, I have made a commitment with myself, to attend regular meetings (for my Recovery), call my Sponsor more often, give back to others, and meditate more deeply; long with making sure I am practicing daily affirmations.

When you seem to be snapping at everyone around you, when you can’t find the motivation to do anything, talk to anyone, or just to get out of bed; when you feel as though all hope is lost; SLOW DOWN for a while; take some time for yourself to reflect on when the feelings began.  Most importantly make sure you are not neglecting time with YOU and your loved ones; Make sure you are taking time out to have some fun, Make sure you are practicing what it is that set you on the right path to begin with.  Then slowly start incorporating the positive steps back into your life and give yourself a break.  We all have moments of uncertainty and confusion; we all at one time or another doubt our mere existence; It’s the AWARENESS that brings us back into the right direction; for without awareness, there’s no recognition of a problem in the first place.

You Make The Final Decision!!

“Know that you are the one that makes your final choice;
You can seek the knowledge of others;
You can research all that is available;In the end You always make the final decision!
No matter which way you turn;
…If it doesn’t work you can always choose a different direction!!”   “`Wendy Box

Much Love & Hugs
