Wow It's Christmas Eve 2013! Time for DEE DEE's Blogging!````

Welcome & have a seat folks! Here come's another installment of (Pick one!)
"AS the Stomach turns..."
"My life as a recovering (from psychotic people in my life )ex-member." 
"The turning of a brighter page to be or not to be,as it was once spoken..."
I've been sick,and am slowly getting better from this whole past year...
I think back to years past,and things I have written,many of the over 100 journals lost to the sands of time... But the memories still live within me!
This was a cruel year in many ways to me,yet now it's as if I was looking through to a mirror,that would lead me to my true home and people who support me,not bully me.
I am grateful for  all the blessings that came to me,in the way of reconnecting with folks who really did love & care about me.
If nothing else I have found that caring people are more important then things, that It really can be " A wonderful life" If we work hard to make it so. Some think that life should just drop all the good stuff down and they "shouldn't"have to suffer or have to wait for things. So many are deluded in their thinking about whats okay or not.
It is not right to push people around because one thinks" They are better,or smarter or more worthy..."
In the end we all bleed blood,we all get cold and tired. We all get hungry. It's our purpose in life to lift others up- Not push em down on the ground,and kick them.
I miss so many,yet I have faith that those who were hurt because of others bad distortions, deceptions  and unsound decisions,will reap what is good for them. Some think it right to tear down, I believe we are here to build-up.  An old Yiddish proverb says: " It is cheaper to mend then replace..." It is easy to say one thing,yet do another. Our actions should show the world,we mean what we say.
So in years past,I would just write in notebooks or whatever,and record the weather,News and what the family was doing at the time! It was like I could find what we were doing on a certain day-week or year. Sadly all that remain are 6 of the books I kept over a lifetime. If it would have been up to my Child Jazzy,we would have had most if not all,but I wasn't told she wanted to have my journals sent from New Orleans first. I only learned that a month ago. be that as it may,The format may have changed,the words and meaning are just the same! I'm so happy to live in peace with my family. My first writing project will be the first 13 years of my life. I was told then,I should write a book! Well Ya gotta start somewhere,so I see a bunch of folks are reading this!
More & more will be,and thats great,thats sort of why we are here--to learn from each other & do our best to make the world a better place,not to just complain about it!! I have always had a hell of a sense of humor,I had to. Some of the things I have lived through might have ended someone who was  not as brave as I became.
I found an Oldie radio station,I used to listen to years ago here in Oregon.Most of my growing up years,were found with me listening to my little transistor radio,my grandpa Moe bought me. 
There have been so many stories of my own history,I have shared with others,in the hopes of helping. 
So many amazing things I have seen,and so many places all over the USA,I have lived worked,played and tried to remember my soul as well! I have given a lot of thought to what I did yesterday. Now I am an ordained Priest/Minister. This is very sacred to me. I have studied and experienced many faiths,and it helps me be a better human! 
Of course the link is having issues of course!
I did it!
I hope Y'all have a happy whatever you enjoy. I'm tired but wanted to share my gratitude and smilesxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxo

Turning of (still) another page in life...~~~***

Well hello again! I have wrote on sooo many books over the years. I  wish they all but a few,did not get lost to the sands of time... Be that as it may,I am glad to see children who are happy & smiling,no matter how far! It is a very blessed world for me now. It feels so awesome to not live in a "Stress-Web" Things are mellow and nice here! Glad I can once again have contact with People whom I have so missed in secret...
Soon I will be watching my live Kaballah teachers, They are going to teach on "the 5 Spiritual worlds!" Wow that sounds like my type of reality!!!
I had to replace a counselor,she kept not showing up.  Oh well Good luck to her,in a service career! I had a rocky week,yet so much was good & kind too. I'm going to be working on my 1st memoir book. It will be from 1954-1967. Enough happened in my own history,to make it worthwhile! Some names & such, changed to protect the innocent,and those who may be guilty as sin... It will be a lighthearted romp,through the fab 60's! So I have to get ready for my class,be well & happy oxxooxoxoxo

Friday the 13th

I need to focus on some of whats going on in my life! wRITING LIKE THIS,REALLY HELPS ME TO PUT THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE! ooPS,cap lock!! Anyway,Yeterday,I woke up with a really bad migraine. I have learned to live with em,for over 30 years. Life goes on for me anyway. I did need to cut-back on my workload! 

It was also Ian's 30th BD! We had a nice time as a family,and had a great time. We laugh a lot around here & that's awesome! I have too many projects going at once,and decided to focus on the Kabbalah class and enter a contest on writing Sonnets! It's a shot in the dark for me! Thought I would try it. Will let ya know how that works out. deadline is Dec 24th,and need 12 done & sent by then! I did win 3rd place in a contest this year! You can see the award on my DL Page photos! I also have a fan page,I'm praying for lotza likes!!! 15 so far,and folks following me on Facebook,Twitter,and now Myspace! So am taking a break from the media,for most of weekend. Will touch base-one on one asap!!! My love to Ya'll have a bumping weekend!

 I missed my counseling today. We spoke & will see each other next week. My health is getting better,couple things bothering me,but not too bad. I will get in touch with some folks this weekend. Was so tired,just need to rest up some. It's a lot getting my writing out there in the cyber-world! I found the first original web-site I made,when I was teaching myself- HTML/CSS.http://web.archive.org/web/20091027035939/http://geocities.com/seaofgoodkarma/ (Will bring it where it had evolved to in time!) I also have the bones for a kids educational & safe fun site,in my archives. I learned to make hyper-links(As they were 1st called!) I started about 2001,to understand the opportunity of cyber-space! Have been posting my writing since 2004.

Each day is a gift...

Wow! another super-blessed day today,where do I even start? I heard from my God-mom today. We lost touch when I lived in Georgia.Circa 1997-2004!) It's so awesome to be talking to so many folks I missed over the years. It's like being able to come home again...
So after that,I heard from a radio personality--buddy of mine. He invited me to hear him on his radio show! I never got the chance before & considering he lives back east,it was a real treat!! So now I also have twitter! I wanted to follow him! I rode 6 miles with the grand-kids & their dad on bikes! Wow whatta trip! Last time I was on one was riding to work in Georgia!
Nice to know I can keep up with the best of em! So I had to add the last post for now,on my Autism rocks blog... too hard to think about the other grand-kids,now. I could never understand why some think they have to push people,by bullying & making them choose one person they love over another,children are the worst to have to decide... (what grand-kids needs me the most....) I'm just glad I stayed alive & not took another way. I worked hard to bring good to all I could. It's not my fault,when people choose to hurt instead of help others...
And so am finding some John Lennon,I have never heard before on you-tube. I will be taking that Kaballah class this week,so will have to gear up to study! It's going to be fun!
I have counseling tomorrow so will end for now! Have an awesome night & thanks for listening!

Life can turn on a dime,for the better!!~~***

Hi, It takes a bit to think about what I will write. Now  so many are reading this & thankfully are in touch with me. Writing  this as I have written over 200 journals over the past 40 years...  Only have 6  now,but the memories are still in my head! There are people from my life,who read this now,Doctors,Therapist's,Dentists,and friends & family. It is easier for me to write this"Letter" from home,so I don't have to re-explain what has happened over the past many years. The past 3 were rough,being homeless,because others didn't want to continue keeping a home,as we had for 40 years. It became a struggle for me to keep my sanity,and humanness... I had to let go of so many over the years,because of selfish controlling People,that were once decent yet took the "easy"-sleaze way of life. They blame their mis-fortune on me & others,rather then taking responsibility,for Their words,deeds and actions. The sad part,is the children who were involved,that I helped to raise,teach,love,guide,even with severe depression,PTSD,etc.Are the victims in this,and there is a wall as long as the great wall of China,keeping me away,because it is safer that way for all...   I am thankful to be able to spend time with my Grand kids,who missed a lot of my time,while I was in other parts of the country.
In my old school days,there were no 800--help me lines to call. you shut up & kept living.You had to pretend to be a happy kid,no matter what was going on. people didn't want to talk about problems,ranging from peoples mental illness,sickness like Cancer(my Grandma died of it back in 1967),they wrote on her Death certificate,she died of "natural causes"". That was bull-crap,her body was wiped out by uterine cancer,yet the last year she lived,we became friends & we laughed a lot.
Point is,it was a world for me,that you asked questions yet many times were not giving an answer,or the wrong ones,sometimes. I was lucky to have a Grandpa,who tried hard to teach me good things take me to fun places,like Yankee Stadium,with my brothers J&J!!,and make amends for his early life(which I only learned a couple of years ago,from someone I love...)
My Mom,had a lot of problems,yet she was a kind & creative soul,when she later became addicted to Dexedrine 15 mg(Smith-Kline& French) She could buy them over the counter,later they passed laws,you had to have a prescription. My other Brothers & sister,paid a heavy price. We were separated for years... I have a brother Mark,that I never found out what happened to him. I am the oldest,and have always loved my little brothers,and later my sister who is a Minister.We had a rough start,yet I'm thankful we all made it(except our brother Jeffrey,who passed back when he was only 18.) I still have the Crucifix That my brother Joey gave me,from the coffin. A day never went by that I didn't say a prayer for all of them,and myself...
I have lived as a Jew,converted to Catholic,follow Buddhist and Hindu ways. Practicing healing good majick,for protection to help others & this world.Always trying to help others in whatever way I can. I'm a survivor of many tragic things,yet keeping my humor & humanity,integrity and dignity. School hopefully in spring,for mixed-media,to help me be a better writer & person!!!!
So if Didn't finish that review or get back to ya,know I had to take care of myself,it's a blessing having my daughter Jasmine & the rest of our family,being there & having their love and support. Slowly others from my past,have been found like long-lost happy treasure.! Thanks for being there to give me sound advice & reality checks,when needed,and for your support for me as a person & writer!!!!!! I'm working on my first e-book of poems & photos,done over years! be well & happy will be back soon!!~~~***** OXOXOXd

The process of thought,in space & time...

   If you ask me what I think of our world,it would take hours to even scratch the surface on! I wrote once in my journal: "It's hard enough living life some-days,without having to process the experience then expound upon it as well..."
   I feel as a PTSD survivor that I have come a very long way in doing my best to improve myself & make the world better for others.
It is hard to do much writing at this time,because am still overwhelmed by recent past events. Yet I am trying to be as alive as possible,because I'm finally happy at home & really loved and respected.OXOXO~~~****^^^^^
******************************
I am sorting out many writing projects,I have been trying to complete for decades. Most of my books are lost to the sad sick Sands of time. Be that as it may,I am slowly working towards getting books ready to be published in the hopefully near future!
On my writing.com/dddreamcat page you can see the seeds of my thoughts start to take wing into articles,stories,self-help etc.
As the Chinese said long ago"May you live in interesting times: both a blessing & a curse."
I love this scene! In time a copy going on my wall!! tee hee have a good one Y'all,thanx for hanging in there with me/us oxoxoxoxoxo

Monday, November 18, 2013

It's been awhile since I was able to write here. I have been working on other things,some writing projects that I had to put off. Now am stable & away from those who have very big issues... There have been 2 deaths on Kim's other side,and she went to deal with all that. I'm very happy these days and working on(as the I-Ching wrote:) Work on what has been spoiled. sometimes in life we think our family,friends ETC are working towards the same goals. Other times we realize that we are doing the same things and not getting further with our life... I have tried hard to help some folks,that did not want my help,except what they wanted or needed at the time. It was very hard,because some people will "make you choose what they want" But say it is in the "best interest" of whom they are supposed to be helping. If someone says you should cut off ties with people you love,you should be careful about what you do... If you are wrong you can lose touch with some you never thought you ever would. There are some I had to let go of for the sake of my own sanity. It's hard when you love & it gets turned on you,in the way of manipulating people who come into your life once as friends,then grow to be abusive and users. Now I can love whom I want to!

Reality--coming back to my life & loves!

Hi everyone. It's been awhile since I could bring myself to add to this. So many changes came my/our way in the past 2 months. I will update what has happened since my last post... I thank you all for staying with me. many of you know what went down,around me,regarding people I knew & loved for many years. I covered for them,not always telling the nasty things that were done to each other. I could not stand around and see myself,be forced to be put in a mental hospital, for no good reason,nor was I a drug addict,as my former friends had tried to get some to believe. It was just "smoke and mirrors" I had money taken off my bank card many times from therm. This was the last straw. So the only recovery place I was at,was for my own protection. I miss the little ones,that is the hard part. When I asked how they were, I was told "They are as annoying as ever." Since I have been there to raise them,it hurt to hear that. I pray for the kids. I have to work on my own survival. We will be okay. In Time CNN will have more details of the other situations in the south. Be well be happy---

Saturday, September 21, 2013

Hi again,well I have till Sunday to be out of the recovery place,I've been at since last Friday. Sorry about spelling issues. Seems like somedays just trying to stay alive takes up most of your energy,as well as taking care of family,helping frinends & others. Most who were/are here have been very kind to me,they shared stories of their lives & some shared cigs(of which I am so greatful.) I havent been able to sleep,past few days. my daughter K needs & wants me to live with her. I have been fighting bad health & wet cold weather.
I will miss so many in Eugene,yet it's been fate that has led me to the direction I am headed. Later when I'm feeling better can start to work on the many writing projects,I had to abandon,many times,due to years of writers block & other reasons. I will also get back to Autism Rocks blog,fill in the many months of progress our Dominic grandson has experianced with us.

So moving To Medford in the mountains,to make peace with my life,and write about it! Have a happy Friday eve!
Be well & happy & blessed~~~~~~!

Another Turning of a page in life,Granny in the van comix a rough week for friends & me.

After a short intermission I will return! Make yourself comfi,it's just the 2 of us here. We have time to catch up in private messages/email/calls whatever .
Well folks sure is a deep subject! I feel like I fell down the well,in a matter of speaking. You really do find out who your friends are,& in this rotten economy it seems to me so many have lost any moral compass they may have had.
No not every apple in the barrel are rotten. More & more people I see are just falling by the wayside. Saying anything,& justifying it to themselves.

I just want to be happy & to live to help others. It's a dark night of my soultime. Yes this too shall pass,yet it's hard to separate the good & bad times,over a 60 year lifetime. Have a god day,that's for spending time here & giving feedback even wow is beneficial.

Hello Y'all & welcome! This will be quite an adventure! "The journey of 10,000 miles begins with one step"-Lao Tzu
This will be a place to let the folks I know & love have updates,also it will be a circle of Friends past & present,& some future ones I hope! It took me awhile this morning to get this thing going! So I will return,thanks for tuning in & in the words of Betty Davis "Hold on this will be a rocky ride!"
But fun as well! life is constant change. We all have ups & downs & it's my hope to bring something good here & get lots of input in time. My thing is "Tikun Olam" which means repairing the world,. I believe we are here to help each other on this planet & take care of it & animals.
It's not just about money,but even a smile(or like on Facebook etc) Can make someones day. Hope I bring some sunshine to yours! Be well Be happy (I'll be back!')
