blackout, lifelines, tropical storm irma

At this point, I’d like to extend my heart and prayers to those that rely on a breathing machine.
I’d like to extend my heart and prayers to those that rely on a dialysis machine.
Case and point, I pray that they were fortunate enough to have a fully charged portable machine.
I pray that they were fortunate enough to make it to the hospital the moment the power outage cutoff their machine.
I’d like to extend my heart and prayers to the senior citizens whose visits come far and few in between.
I’d like to invite you to check on a senior citizen today.
I’d like to invite you to check on a kidney survivor today.
I’m inviting you to check on someone and that someone could be anyone today.
I challenge you to recharge your spirit,
I challenge you to let your inner glow illuminate the day.
I invite you to use #seniorsmattertoo;
I challenge you to a random act of kindness today.
By the way, September is #suicideawarenessmonth;
I challenge you to be a lifeline today.
I challenge you to call or text someone: How are you doing today?
And with that being said, there’s one thing I’d like to know:
How are you doing today?

Don’t Fear The Semicolons

I

 

Life is a story;

don’t fear the semicolons,

write your next chapter.

 

 

II

 

Life is beautiful;

semicolons symbolize

a new beginning 😉

 

 

III

 

Life can get ugly;

the most feared punctuation

is like suicide.

 

 

IV

 

Let’s put a semi –

colon in the story; for

suicide support.

 

 

V

 

The untold story;

suicide prevention and

the semicolon.

 

 

VI

 

Let’s break the stigmas;

the most feared punctuation

is misunderstood.

 

 

VII

 

The semicolon;

the beginning of the end,

a life not ended.

She Was Beautiful

She was beautiful;

intelligent and witty,

and a tad bit giddy.

Her ideologies were wonderful.

 

She was traveling with a book when I met her.

She was a bookworm and I was a lame with cool tendencies

and we tended to be

on the square within the same circles together.

 

She was beautiful – radiant skin, brilliant pearl white teeth, and pretty feet.

I thought she was a vegan, I noticed she didn’t eat meat;

she would have a soup or a salad whenever we would meet.

 

How did I not notice, she was preoccupied with her shape & weight amid her cuteness?

I guess; I was preoccupied with her beautiful mind and her cuteness.

She was beautiful – and bulimic; I never knew bulimia distorted her mental acuteness.

I

 

“How should I do it?”

“Should I write a goodbye note?”

I’m glad you called me!

 

II

 

Call someone today…

One conversation can change

a life. Love Conquers!

 

III

 

Text someone today…

You never know who needs you

on the other end.

 

IV

 

“How are you doing?”

may be the lifeline someone

has been waiting on.

Mental Health Issues?

Anxiety? Depression?

Take it day by day.

 

You are not alone…

I am a phone call away;

You Will Be Okay.

The Semicolon…

more than a wink emoji;

a symbol of hope.
