If you think you’ve be beaten, you have.
If you think you can’t go, on you won’t.
If you think the sun won’t come out, you’re wrong.
The sun will always shine again,
Love will always prevail even as our heart breaks and our body writhes in pain.
Hold steadfast to your dreams, your visions of brighter days ahead,
Where you will rise to take the throne.

Out of all of the beautiful calls and messages I received yesterday, one was unparrelled and made me think about why we are here. For me, that is to reach out and let someone know I care. In this case I didn’t sugar coat or mince words and delivered a strong yet kick in the ass message with love intended. It was rough, it was raw, it was honest and a risk. I’m not in touch with this person a lot but he is family and he is important to me and my inner voice could not be ignored. Here is our exchange.
Happy Mother’s Day Cindy.
I’ll call you this week but can’t thank you enough for the support and calls.
5 weeks sober. Feeling so much healthier. Alcohol is a major depressant.
Looking forward to catching up.
Awwww, this is about the sweetest message I’ve gotten all day and happiest I can assure you.
This makes my heart sing!
And I will look forward to your call!💕❤️🙏
Actually, your message did save my life.
Talk more next week.
Oh wow!
That speaks volumes.
I’m so glad you were born and still here-;)
💕
Let me be clear, I have no idea what the outcome will be, nor did I when I sent this message, but it kept coming at me like a nat that I couldn’t swat away any more. And honestly, I can’t control what will happen in the future, (none of us can) but I do hope and pray that this will be a new chapter and a new script so the umpteen attempts at ending his life will not go in vain.
Stay Blessed, speak your truth and love yourself, your life and others. Life’s too short for anything but that!
💓🙏
Cindy

It’s very inspiring to see how lives are being impacted by your amazing words Cindy. I too can personally testify to how your blogposts have cajoled me to keep pushing on uncertain days. Thanks for all you do for us.
This is such a heartfelt comment Ero and it’s messages like these and people like you who inspires me to continue to write on my blog. Thank you for being such a dear friend and sharing that with me. I’m humbled to know this ❣️💖💓🙏💓
You’re perfectly welcome Cindy. Keep doing you.
💖💖❤️🌷💓
Cindy, YOU are a good friend to reach out the way you did. We are still new to each other’s blog, but what you may not know is I am an alcoholic. Yet, the good news is I have been sans alcohol for going on fourteen years. Eight years ago, I wrote this post and it remains my most frequented one. It passes on a lesson for your relative – say “I am not going to drink today.”
Please feel free to pass on this link. It may help, merely to realize he is not alone. The other key message is the urge never fully goes away, so we always need to manage our craving. Today, it is feint echo, but it lurks. Best wishes, Keith

You’re kind to say Keith and I did not know this about you Keith but I did just read your link. It is inspiring and I congratulate you for taking the bull by the horns, prolonging your life and being here to share it with your family and friends.
I like your motto ” I am not giong to drink today”. We can all do one day that builds over time!!! Glkad it is ow a faint echo❣️❣️❣️👏👏👏

Thanks Cindy. I can at least avoid this train wreck down the road. Keith

What a lovely poem Cindy, I love it! You listened to that inner voice and reached out, what a blessing. Sometimes we have to even if we don’t want to and that is because we are receiving that message for a reason. I am really proud of you, it takes guts because it is the hardest when it is family. How wonderful, I bet you either did 60 push ups, folded yourself in half or got down on your knees and thanked God. Perhaps you did all of these, you are an amazing, uplifting and beautiful person I am so grateful to have met. What a blessing you are in my life! Love you Cindy
Hey Cindy / this was inspiring – anytime someone tells me they passed on alcohol – i smile and celebrate
And five weeks sober – ?? Omg! Wish that person strength and health
A few months ago had someone tell me they were only drinking alcohol on the last half of their vacation – and not the full month! Planned to end the two weeks with his beer as opposed to every day-
Baby steps or stages and so that was good to hear
Thank you sooo much Yvette!
Glad you found it so and I have my fingers, toes an heart crossed❣️❤️❤️❤️🙏
Hey, that was progress for sure. Baby steps are where to start.
😁☀️☀️

You are what you think and what you do…
soooo true❣️
And yes…also what you do-do….
even the Queen of England herself with all her wealth has a Royal Pooper when she takes the throne in her stately home…
lol… i wonder if I could borrow it! 🤣🤣🤣
You sure can…
and it is or was true in the past…
but I know not know
what her majesty does
when she sits on
her royal arse!
Only the Royal Pooper knows for sure!
You are the funniest!
I wouldn’t know what to do on this kind of crapper honestly. 🤣🤣
Honestly, Only her majesty, the Queen, knows…for snobbish sure!
well, I’ve never been a snob but it might cover a lot of basis.
lol
This is a really lovely poem🤗🤗❤
