"When you sense a faint potentiality for happiness after such dark times you must grab onto the ankles of that happiness and not let go until it drags you face first out of the dirt. This is not selfishness, but obligation. You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight...."

My Personal Opinion,
I believe everyone is an artist. I have had more people than I can count tell me they can't draw a straight line, so they have no talent. Well, I am an artist, and I cannot draw a straight line!! LOL. I believe everyone, EVERYONE, has artistic ability.…

Elsa Vigil said… Thanks for the chuckle, I needed/appreciate that :)
Well, I do love cats/all animals, but I am not married and I live in Chicago. I deleted my Elsa Vigil FB account. But created an alias and added only 8 people to that page. My home FB was becoming too much for me.. and I needed serious space and my only solution was to delete my page. But I love FB and I have best friends that live out of state so it isn't far to them not to stay in daily contact. Thanks Valerie, you have a sweet nature to you as well. It is a joy to be in contact with you.
Elsa Vigil said… Hi Sweetie.. I think you mis-understood my point. I don't live in guilt anymore that is why I am okay. I don't feel bad for being me; the good or the bad (no such thing). I live in complete freedom because I am honest with myself and with the people in my circle. However, I would never feel bad for the guilt that I did live with (back in the days), it is just a part of human process, nothing to punish myself over or think twice about.. Much love dear angel..
Elsa Vigil said… Dearest Valerie-
I love the card/picture you posted on my page of The Empress. She is beautiful. Where did you find that? I appreciate your concern but I don't mind them at all. It is what makes life beautiful.. lessons. I love each and every one of them.. I love life too much to ever feel bad :)
ps: I agree with Dan.. I am loving your profile picture, cute!
Sending happy vibrations and love your way ♥

Elsa Vigil said… Valerie-
It is wonderful to meet you here of all places. I love PA and I love Josh Groban. (great combo) I am excited to connect more with you. Stay in touch with me, okay..
ps: Guilt is something I've had to deal with for years and years... it is a terrible, heavy feeling. It took me years to realize I should never feel bad for putting myself first and/or for being where I am in life (broke up with a serious loong relationship (14 yrs) and I felt guilty for a very long time that I wasn't his future, he was/is still in love with me). Worst feeling ever. But when you are honest with others on how you feel and they decide to feel/think/imagine differently .. then there is nothing to feel guilty about if they’ve convince themselves differently – that is their problem, not ours. Great thing about being completely open and honest, it allows you not to feel bad about "anything". Again, as I said, it was years and years of finding my voice and finding my truth. We are all here to help and support each other. Anything I can offer or share, let me know. Lots of love to you..
Sue Williamson said… Hi Joy,
Your illness is so similar to mine, it is so so painfull at times isn't it ? do you take lots of diferent meds ?
I live on my own .. well sort of .. my daughter lives with me but she has anerexia and as soon as she comes in from work she goes to her room, she does not speak to me, but i know its not her its the mental side of her illness, sometimes we have a normal mother - daughter relationship and i treasure those times.
what about you , do you have family to help you, its nice to meet you on here.
sue.

I'm confused and need some guidance. When we talk about forgiving so that we can free ourselves from the past and the pain, does this mean we tell those that hurt us to forgive us or that we forgive them. Also, just to clarify, we talk to them…Continue

Gentle readers,I've started a long overdue letter to Human Resources regarding a promotion I did not get; I must have been discredited to not have been the choice, as I was already doing the work and had seniority. It is to be a short and…Continue

I am sad to have to let someone in my life go...not because it didn't work out between us...but because of how he has treated people so poorly and hurt innocent people...why is it that people can lie and create drama so easily and without a…
