I’ve got this.


A painting that I did and gave to a Counseling Center.
I am so lonely.  I feel empty. Life is very quiet for me.  I smile in front of everyone and laugh all the time, but deep inside, I am so lonely. I have mixed emotions about everything and I am okay with that, because it is what it is.   Loneliness to me is hard to explain. I could have a lot of people around me, but feel so empty deep inside.  I get used to feeling like this and everything is okay. It is normal to me. So, in reality, loneliness is a natural thing for me.  It is not sad nor bad.

I do love my life, because of certain people and my best little dogs, but I am also very lonely.  I don’t know how to explain this loneliness. I don’t know what to do with it? How to react to it. I accept it and move forward, because at this present moment, I am blessed with health and life.

I don’t have the energy to go anywhere, because I work so much every day, that all I want to do is finish my work in the evening and snuggle with my little dogs.

I don’t have the energy to be creative and work on my art.  All I want is time to be…. Just be. 

When mom was alive, I used to make sure we had a massage therapist come to the house once per month, so that she could have human touch.  For ten years she was very lonely when her husband passed away.  Mom wrote so much in her journals to him.  She never once mentioned us kids (in those journals) with love, care, or anything that resulted her as being our mom. They may not think so, but I feel that I gave everything to my children. I did the best that I could for them. I love them unconditionally. It is up to them, as adults, to make the best of their lives. I feel I succeeded as a mother.  I just don’t know what I am succeeding at today.

I don’t remember when was the last time I snuggled with a human?  Growing up, I never had human touch. Maybe a pat on the head or a punch to the face, but never a real, loving touch. Looking back, it didn’t bother me, because when you never had something, you never missed it…. Right?

It is time to put on my funny face and paint a smile back on. It is “ShowTime”. I have to be what everyone wants me to be. I just wish I knew what I think “I” should be?

Everything is good.  I am lonely, but that is much better than a lot of things. My life is a “circle”. HA HA  HA   “...Bring it back Debbie… Come back Debbie… Where are you going with this Debbie….”

Listen to a Child

I am not sure why I am writing this right now, but something inside of me insisted that I needed to write this. So, if you are reading this and need to help a child or you are the one that is seeking help, please get the help now. If you feel you are afraid or no one will listen, go to a church, hospital, or to someone that you can trust. Photo of Donna(top) and me, 35 years later. Photos taken at Sarsh Fisher. Their doors are closed and a private business bought the property. Our parents told us to "pack our things". Of course we were confused and afraid, because we had no idea of why we were packing our things. ( Imagine coming home from school and your parents are telling you to pack your things. You do as you are told and no one is talking or telling you why. Imagine that feeling.... ) We drove down this long driveway and arrived at the doorsteps of this huge building that we never saw. Our mother got out of the truck and demanded that we follow her with our bags. We wer...

Feedback on my article in the CoSoZo Living Magazine & my Reply

Hi Debbie, One of the members where I teach Zumba brought me the article you wrote Zumba Craze Hits Michigan. I just read it and had to send you some feedback. I thought the article was great in that it encourages people to consider Zumba, the fun workout, the fabulous aerobic activity, etc. I also loved that you boasted that the Zumba Program is currently being taught at over 50,000 locations, etc. All in all it was great. I do, however, TOTALLY disagree with the paragraph starting with Most Zumba instructors without a fitness background face away from their students.... I could not disagree with your statement more. There is no written rules about this in the Zumba instructors notes and the proof is really in the pudding. In other words, what does the student/member really prefer? Whether you believe this or not, students find it much easier to follow when the instructor is facing the same direction that they are. It has nothing to do with 'looking at someones' buttocks...

I just didn't know!

I did not know how cruel the Sheeps were mistreated when making UGG products. I love how my husband commented on the subject and decided to share it here... "I don't know what is worse, the fact that the sheep are being horribly mistreated or the fact that a nation of sheep followed the lead of a third grade level show, that featured a half dressed bimbo wearing boots, that they decided they had to have. (Referring to UGGs and Pamela Anderson on Baywatch) Now the nation of idiots loves Effing Duck Dynasty.  Just when you think the level of stupidity couldn't get worse.  I'm willing to bet duck hunting or whatever the hell they do, is at an all time high.  Ask the looneys watching what their state Capitol is and they'd probably have no idea." ~ Anthony P.
