Alone I Stand

Alone I Stand.
Captured by reality..surrounded by so many, yet alone I stand. In a world, that will turn it's back in an instant, I stand alone, gaining strength and resistance. I come before you as a woman strong, proud, and true. With two babies on my hip, lugging diaper bags, and purses, a laptop, and the latest copy of Cosmo, alone I stand in a room full of millions. I seperate myself, to only keep myself sane. I'm content in my quiet time, where I can reflect on my day. As I lay the babies down to rest, while singing sweet lullabyes...I turn, shut the door, exit the room, to stand alone, and feel every breath, every shutter of pain, but most importantly every sense of JOY I have received from the day. Then, I pray. Praying for forgiveness, and my blessings, and for all the ones I love, even if they have hurt me. By me being able to stand alone....I.....am....FREE.

Oh..to thine self be true..

To cleanse: Middle English clensen, from Old English clǣnsian to purify, from clǣne clean


To purify. To make pure. To rid of. To wash away. To make clean.


As day 3 of the cleansing begins..I find myself noticing small things. To cleanse thyself, one must start within. To literally wash away with water, as I stop drinking soda pop. A luxury so taken for granted, as with eating fast food. So simple, yet SO bad for you!!


As I begin my journey of cleansing myself, mind, body, and soul, I catch myself thinking of so many other things that I can extract from my life, to bring me closer to the ultimate goal, of complete cleansing. Man, I didn't realize how many bad, or not so good things I did, or put into my body.


As my mind awakens, so do my senses. I take this day to day, and pray for strength.
