Hi to all my Friends both old and new.I realize that with some of you-I have not yet made personal contact with, and ask you to Please "forgive me" for this. It is Not that I am ignoring you, any of you, my Friends-or-Groups I have become a part of - or -have not even as much as Indroduced myself Properly -Yet. It is that my "outside work" with HomeCare for Children, has become Extremely busy recently-with more Children being brought here-into our Care and our Protection. Presently we are very short-staffed and some staff are even quitting. So, working on such a tight and demanding schedule-12 hour shifts, with not two days off together-this leaves little time for allowing me much time for anything else at Present. Now-that some of our Staff members have and still are leaving us--this means that we-those of us who can and are willing and able-put in the extra hours for the safety and well-being of these Children. Please Know-when Time allows and is on my side, I will be back here-contacting You-my Friends and Groups-who have been so kind, thoughtful and gracious to me. You "all" mean so much to me, and I need you to know this-Please. Know, too, I am with you in Spirit-Heart and Soul and am looking Forward to our Communicating and getting to know each other better, in Friendship and Sharing as soon as it Possible for me. I Love the Care2 Community-who it is-what it stands for and All "You"-the People..who make up this beautiful Community, I am becoming to Know and to Love..as if it were "My Home Away from Home. I have "You" to Thank for all these Emotional Feelings, which are New, Surprising, Exciting, and also brings Much Happiness into my Daily living Outside as well. Thank you seems such a small word to say to you to express "ALL" that I feel, NOW-since joining you and your Amazing Community. I thank my sister, Sharie, for Introducing me to--And--Passing along the Request to me, to come in-take a look around and see if I would like to Join with "her", in your Community. Sharie said to me--"Dode, this is the best thing that has happened to me in so many years-I can't even Remember"..I know my sister well--and how right she was in saying to me what she did. In turn, I have found, for Myself, "all of you" whom I have met so far-And 'you' Are the exact kind of People I care2 share My life with. I hope you Understand and also Hope 2 C you All very soon. Please take very Special Care of Yourselves and your Loved ones. I wish you all Peace,Love and HappYness!!!!! Dode and Stormy (my cat from Sharie, now 2 years old and I Love her with all my Heart. Thank you for taking the Time to read.
Am here for the cause, the support, being introduced to new beginnings and willing to take the challenge. Come from very small town, but have done much travelling-a lot of the United States, most of Canada, a lot of Europe, but least of all, strange as it sounds, my own Province of Newfoundland. Would like to someday for my sis, Sharie, myself and few close friends tour our own beautiful Island. Love my work in all areas I have experienced in Health Related Care. Medicine, Psychiatric Nursing, Geriatric Nursing, Sleep Medicine, Research, Monitor of Pharmaceutical Companies, Youth Care, Nerology/Neurosurgery, Genetics and currently working in Home Care. Always busy and like to stay active. In times of relaxation, mostly like to sleep, read, have time for myself to do things I enjoy most.
just being myself, the laugher and warmth I feel from 'spinning a good yarn' from the many stories I heard from my father-in his own words, "back in my day, there was, etc..miss my Dad. A Lot!
My Philosophy
Always try to do the best I can to live my life to the fullest. In times of Reflection, come now to awareness it's a must to let go of past mistakes..let the past go no matter how hard..once coming to reach this point of acceptance within oneself..understand you are still a good person with much to give in this world and always to your best. If things become a bit overwhelming at times, always know you can count on 'One" who will 'always' walk beside you-even sometimes may carry you, without maybe you even realizing. Trust, Believe, Love, and Praise that which you know or feel is much larger than yourself..and in knowing this, you receive great comfort.
What Gives Me Hope
each new day, every new experience, special friends, being at one with nature, creating, a smile, knowing I'm never alone, Sister, Brother, Stormy and Sharie's dog and 2 cats, belief, Love, know I'm never to old to learn, grow and experience new things, and new beginnings..such as joining care2 for the Cause. This site has opened my eyes to a whole new world. I "hope" I can make a differance in some way.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
Live and act in truth instead of making empty promise after promise...
What/who changed my life and why
My Mom and My Dad, who taught me never to feel sad, shame or belittled when other kids were cruel to me, because we were the only Adopted family in our town..but to always believe how much we were loved and we were 'chosen' out of love. Believe in myself-Always.
