Describe a family member.

Love of family

Best family member has always been the strong one the one everyone goes to for almost everything, the one everyone depends on talks to lanes on is the defender the one everyone looks too for guidance and mental stability the one everyone fears but I also trust and also runs away from this family member always has a heart of gold but also has The ability to touch you in a way that will make you think about life in a whole new way and no matter what they do you still want to be around them even when you’re angry or mad at them for a while you overlook that anger because you love them so much this family member dresses beautifully hair is always done always has the right thing to say never looks vulnerable even though you know they’re human you don’t see that part of them this family member is a role model and also I’ll go get her someone to be proud of someone to look up to a best friend and can also be a frienime too but at the end of the day she is beautiful on the inside and the outside over the years she has become a beautiful person a heartfelt golden dynamic woman that I would not change the world for and I am proud that she is a part of my family. I am proud to call her family.

My favorite form of physical exercise is walking

On By L Corelle GreenIn family, foodLeave a comment

What is your favorite form of physical exercise?

I enjoy walking because I enjoy the scenery around me I enjoy that thinking patterns that happened while I am moving going towards something and I enjoy the rest breaks that I often have to take while doing a consistent but overwhelmingly basic walk I am able to clear my head and know that I have burned at least 160 cal it makes me feel good knowing that I put some kind of effort into maintaining an active lifestyle even though I know I’m going to feel any Normas amount of pain later at that moment I am proud that I was able to get it done. I don’t get out and do these walks all the time I used to ride a bike and breathe the air in while just exploring around praying and just focusing on what I was doing while enjoying the scenery but here lately over the past few years those tasks have become impossible to do so a little walk here and there I can still accomplish that goal and still feel proud of myself that I am still being active and able to share my joy of exercise and I still love it. What are the exercises that you enjoy doing?

Most days I wish I was dead

What’s something most people don’t know about you?

I walk around with a smile on my face but behind that smile I feel as if my life has been one big disappointment after another I wanted to raise my kids in a good environment taking them on family trips like I experienced as a child what I got was brainwashed by someone who knew I was already vulnerable needing and desiring love to take advantage of me and ruin my children’s lives forever in one way or another.

Some days I think of driving into on coming traffic or taking a bunch of sleeping pills just to stop my pain or to stop thinking that I’ve failed my children even though they are all grown now my pain is still great and I still struggle with it

My mom is the first person that comes to mind.

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

This is my mom my Beautiful success story she has the most beautiful smile

Since I was a little girl I have always looked at my mom as a success story to me because I have always seen her persevere through everything. I watched her make enormous life decisions get disappointing it and still land on her feet even after my dad passed she went to work she was able to get new cars keep up the house that we were living in maintain her sanity and travel with us to different places in the country in order to keep us involved with family and friends she even moved us across country because of the possibility of building a brand new life even though that ended up being somewhat of a pipe dream that was not reality she still landed on her feet again she has always been a devoted church member a consistent employee for whatever business even a human dictionary a real inspiration to be around. Able to pick up new material fast always showing that she is an asset to whatever she is doing not to mention her phenomenal ability to play piano that I for one have picked up a bit here and there. She has always looked super human to me you never realize someone is getting older until you’ve been away from them for a while. She is still as beautiful as ever though she is still able to live on her own do things on her own maintain her ability to think Moe speak and talk to me often she is simply awesome. Not bad for someone in their 70s she’s beautiful super smart and still capable of being helpful and cherished as I do as much as possible she is the greatest success story that I can think of. She’s giving strong loving considerate always compassionate always had a great work ethic just a all-around great person so she would be the one who I would say it’s not just my hero but is my favorite one to say is my success story.

Understanding why!

What have you been putting off doing? Why?

I have been fighting Social Security for over six years now and for the life of me I have been in a fog just going through the motions every day trying to figure out what The next step is to get my life back in order which direction to go or whether to just cut my losses and do what I know best to do and every time I start to go in that direction I feel like I am on the brink of, doing something that will turn my life upside down if I go that route because making rash choices in my life in the past has cost me greatly and I don’t wanna do it again even though I don’t regret those choices I don’t want to do them again and end up in a hole bigger than I’ve ever been in even though I’m not happy in the situation I’m in right now and I know I don’t wanna be in it for the rest of my life I don’t want to uproot again and start over somewhere else without having my ducks in a row or having a solid plan I don’t want to begin again without at least having everything that I know I came here with because it wouldn’t be right and I would be devastated so I’m trying to understand what it is that I need to do and why I am so hesitant to move forward even though I know I am able to land on my feet and get things done I just don’t feel like I am supposed to go anywhere right now and I don’t understand why so that is why I am trying to figure out why and why it’s taking so long and it’s such a difficult fight to get everything moving forward for me right now why am I being held here.

I am putting off making plans I am really living my life the way that I want to live it actually finding the love that will love me the way that I am used to being loved having someone who is compatible with me who is honest and loving and giving and has roots like I do and who is honorable who I wouldn’t mind taking Home to my mom and who has morals and things of that sort who I can travel with who will cherish me and celebrate me as I would them this is what I’m putting off with the life I’m living right now it’s like my life is shrouded in secrecy because of who I am with and what I’m dealing with and I’m tired of living in shame. I am a family oriented person and I want the person who I am with to be family oriented as well I love my family and I love traveling I don’t want to be just one of many I am the one and that is how it should be so this is what I’m putting off and I don’t want to continue that for much longer.

The strength in numbers

What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?

The aspects of my cultural heritage that I am most proud of is how we come together when something needs to be done, and we put our strength in our numbers and accomplish the goal that we are seeking out to accomplish. How we manage to put our differences aside and really focus on, the goal at hand to make whatever is the issue at hand to go away even if we all go our separate ways after that, we will stand together on that issue to make it a top priority to get it accomplished no matter how long it takes no matter how much it may Keep us from doing something else at that moment it is the most important thing that needs to be accomplished, and we will do any and everything to accomplish it until it is done for example, in Alabama when the man was being attacked everyone stopped what they were doing at that moment to go and Protect him. It didn’t matter what was happening around him or them. They stopped another example when they made Rosa parks get off the bus and was disrespectful to her. We stopped riding the bus and it took over a year, but we persisted to make it happen, so that they would give us equal rights to ride the bus freely and fairly another example is when we want it to be able to vote we stopped, allowing them to treat us any other kind of way, and we’ve been together to accomplish, making it a nationwide goal to not work with anything they have going on to make it happen every time when it’s something that we all want we will stand together to make it happen that is something that I love about my culture. We still are that way just in a different way now, and I appreciate that inner strength that we have to do that in order to accomplish the goal of having us matter things like that or what keeps us moving forward And all of us working together we still have a long way to go, but I do appreciate that about my culture, even though it takes an immense strength and something major to happen for us to do that the fact that we will do it I love it about us And I appreciate my culture for it

Have you ever had surgery? What for?

More than 3

The first surgery I had was minor surgery as a child. I walked past a shard of glass from a large, broken picture window. I sliced my leg along my calf leg on the left side. I had to be rushed to the hospital. I also had hand surgery from letting a fire cracker blow up in my hand. Another minor surgery where stitches were needed.This is before the time of numbing the area so I had to get several stitches and the held down in order to stay still. My next surgery, was when I had been in labor for two days. My son was being very stubborn and not wanting to get in the right position so my labor was being prolong until the core began to wrap around his neck from all of his turning so I ended up having to have a C-section on an emergency my next surgery after that was a planned surgery my daughter then a third C-section after that, I had to have a thyroidectomy because my thyroid was not functioning correctly, and had created a mass, the size of a potato in my throat (a goiter) and another mass the size of a football in my chest, which was causing me to not be able to breathe correctly and have fainting spells often so I had to have open chest surgery and throat surgery. After that one, I had a total hysterectomy because of problems with my uterus and anemia and bleeding problems. My body has been through quite a bit, but I would say it has all been worth it.

God is life

How important is spirituality in your life?

Spirituality is very important to me because God is life.

God has made my life worthwhile and worth living things haven’t always been easy but with him by my side, I’ve been able to get through a lot and not go over the deep end. I’ve had some very traumatic events in my life. I didn’t know what was coming next or what to do, but my faith and my belief kept me going. There’s so much more I could say, but I want him with this God is everything..

She had worked really hard in school, and had really good grades, and for that she was rewarded with the presidents award. she got mini awards like the honor roll and perfect attendance Being talked about a lot. But that was one of many proud parent moment.
