Hello My Sunny Pals, Welcome back to Shellyville.... ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** |
| Hello my sunny pals, Last night I went to see the movie Monumental Men. It was awesome and inspired some incredible dreams. I am living in art. I am a piece of creative color. My form and statue still being worked by the hands of a genius. I hope I never loss sight of the importance of creative writing and living! Thank you for those that did their part. Never let evil win! Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, SO I have this new black shade in my bedroom and it's AWESOME! I slept like a little baby! I did wake a few times like normal but I was able to roll over and fall back asleep! I feel like a new woman today! Nice!! I wish everything could be fixed by a magic curtain. Imagine how simple problems would become! I might wish myself out of a career. You know the one I am waiting to start! This week is a lazy week. I don't have enough clients. I don't have enough to do to keep me busy and it's driving me crazy! I need to work. I need to be making money and not spending it! One day at a time! Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, So it just occurred to me that being different is good. It means I am not like everyone else and neither are YOU! It means I can be funny when I need too laugh. It means my heart can wish and grow. I am not going backwards. My life is moving forward and now is the time to see that happening. My days are moving so fast. I see patterns dancing on my wall. I am unable to sleep anymore! Tonight Matt is coming over to help me put up room darkening shades. I can't wait. I think it will help. I hope it does. I need to sleep. I need to be able to shut my mind off. The voices so loud. Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, In an odd way the eye can reflect the distance the heart has traveled. Tears run easy when hurt. Savanna is taking pictures today of her eye with her camera on her phone. She is amazing. In her reflection we see specks of color and fibers that swim in perfect harmony. It's interesting to see how one color blends into the next and yet some colors like yellow and gold stand alone. Perhaps life is a perfect example of that. We stand as individuals yet swim in the same pool. I love watching the Olympics and thinking how small our world has become! It's a great day to love. Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, It is amazing to me that time moves on. Words are written and forgotten. I put away years of writing in an attic. I walked away from a life. Now seven years pass. I picked up the pen again. I wrote a new chapter. I found a new love inside. In the reflection of my soul I have always been a writer. I have been a dark poet. I have used words to escape. I am still doing it. It's who I am and what makes me tick. I picked up my journal this morning and started writing. I won't forget that I am important. I wont ever put my pen down again. I am a writer with words locked inside. Stories not told but holding on for that day when they can be released. It's a great day to celebrate words! I love you! Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, If I had known what this time in my life would look like, I might have prepared myself more. Still, I did the best I could with what I have. Knowing that is what is giving me the faith to move on and be proud. Now, if I could keep that positive vibe alive while we fight for Jackson's rights. I know this is going to be a challenge! I get their position and I know they are playing hardball with us. I don't think they realize how hard we are going to fight in return. We are not going to let them have the upper hand. Every day that Jackson is out of school is a day he loses. He is already behind the 8ball do you think I am comfortable with that? NO! Bring it on! I am ready to fight the good fight! Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, So it looks like the verdict is in and Jackson will not be returning to seventh grade at Scranton. I can only hope that whatever happens next is a positive and learning experience for my son. I am shocked and saddened by this happening but knew his luck was running out. Dear God please continue to support me in all my challenges. Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, Today is a perfect picture day if you were a snow globe. It's frosting white snow flakes on the deck. It's ice on the windows. It's my sister's birthday and Matt's birthday too. Dominica said she couldn't remember when there was this much snow for her birthday. Maybe when she was a Kid. A lot can happen in 57 years!! I have to get moving soon. It's time for more work. I wish I owned a snowmobile that would be the perfect ride for work today!! Love, Michelle |
| Hello white fluffy stuff, The snow continues to fall in big fluffy flakes. The kind that coat every surface. It's stunning and beautiful and I would totally enjoy it if I was staying in and didn't have to drive to work. Oh well, It's Winter! Snow is supposed to happen. I am glad it is. I love it. I love the stillness and white beauty. I love that the season's occur and that all is well with nature. Life is one beautiful moment at a time. Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, I guess I'm still not ready. I like all the parts but not the whole thing. I just can't bring myself into the relationship. It's not right. I don't feel it. So here is the question?...What do I do about it? I can move on, date others... I can give it time.. I can slowly figure out what I want. I can have fun and build a friendship. I need to slow down and back up. It's not right for me to give so much so soon. I am a giver and a taker. I am not on an even playing field. I know I have the potential to hurt someone and I don't want to do that. One sweet day at a time I will figure this out. Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, Where in the world have you been? Out shopping? Maybe dancing around the universe? Or sitting peacefully in your own misery? It's been an epic battle with Jackson. It's not over yet. I still have another week of worry ahead. What will the school district do? Are they sure that Jackson is a threat to society or only himself? I would have to say himself. But I am his mom, I get paid to say that. If I was the school I would be concerned. I would question every authority and that is what they are doing. I can only pray this has a positive outcome for Jackson. Being a mom is the greatest job I have ever had. I work endlessly for positive results. I am doing the best I can but it is taking it's toll. I have lost my self-confidence. I lost my cool. I have cried endless tears. I have pushed away wonderful friends. I have shut down. I will return to living and writing. I will return to earning money and making good decisions. I won't stay in this ugly place forever. I never can. I am far too positive and wonderful for that. Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, Yes I have a mental disorder. Yes, I have unexplained emotions but the one I understand the most is my need for laughter. It was the greatest crutch I learned as a child. In my need to escape pain I laughed. In my need to put away tears and hurt I laughed. So as an adult I still hide behind laughter. I still use it as a coping skill. I still use it as if the world depended on my laughter everyday. If I did not laugh I would be miserable. I don't want to be sad. I don't want to be pissed and angry. It is no fun to live that way. I need a better outlet for my emotions and love. Love is here and I will use it to be a better person. In my laugh the sound of tears splash in the background but I am used to the noise. Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, It's not easy being content when the walls are falling down around me. If I could protect his future this would all be worth it. If however another ten day suspension leads to being expelled from school...Well it's out of my hands. 95 percent of the time he is a perfect kid. Kind, funny and on-track. That 5 percent when his ugly problems rise is where all our problems collide. It's more than I can comprehend and want to deal with at the moment. I will go to work and escape but I fear leaving behind the mess. Another day.. Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, Okay so I am only nine days late for the new year! It could be worse. I could be dead. I have been so busy doing, and redoing my life. I have been snowed in and frozen. I have been drunk with new directions and friends to play with. I let go of some demons of my past and I am ready to move my life in a new direction. I am content. I am excited about my future. I am happy my life is making sense. I am poor. Broke in every way and richer than I have ever been. I am having a blast. I am excited about the possibilities and the what ifs and the things that are slowly developing in my heart and mind. I am open. I am refreshed. I am loving myself. I let go and moved on. I remembered and treasured. I have compassion for my decisions and excitement about my next big decision. I can do this. I can be this woman I am suppose to be. life is beautiful. Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, What would forever look like? I wonder... Would it bring me my kids every day? Would it bring me a sense of peace and contentment? Would it allow me to sleep at night? What would forever look like? I have forever to find out. I have this moment that can move me forward. I have smiling kids and a messy house. I have contentment in the depth of my bones. I am home. Love, Michelle |
| Hello my sunny pals, Take some time to love. Even if it's the simplest thing like loving yourself. Love your time. Love your company and most of all find time to love all the souls out in the big wonderful world. I am working retail today and I am forcing myself to be pleasant. To be a joy to help others. Everyone is busy. Everyone is doing the best they can in the moment. I just know that some folks need a little extra love right now. I try to remind myself that I am not alone. I have God. I have my many thoughts and I have friends I can call. I have wonderful family and I have myself. It's enough. Let Love Shine! Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, My little helpers are off school today. Looks like a soupy mess outside. I love Michigan. One day you get this amazing snow storm and the next day it melts with rain. Oh well...Easy come easy go... The problem is that momma doesn't have a snow day. I have to work and am leaving the kids with a long "to do" list. I am pretty confident most of it will get accomplished. I love my kiddies and let the Holidaze begin! Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, My sweet little girl turned 16 today. A normal day but extraordinary in the way I feel. I am so blessed. Lucky down to every last drop of blood in my body. I am so honored by her generous and loving soul. I get to spend time with a brilliant and talented artist. Savanna brings out the best in me every day. I am so grateful to the stars that danced on the day she was born. Thank you God! And Thank you Brian for helping me bring this beautiful soul into the world. Love, Michelle |
| Hello Sunshine, I took my sweet girl to a concert last night in Detroit. Talk about a great experience! First being downtown with all the lights was a blast. We walked around and I felt so SAFE! It was very cold but what a great time! The concert at the Fillmore wasn't all that bad either. I haven't been to a live show in a long long time. It was fun but sometimes I feel younger than my daughter. I find such joy in living and was sad to see all the twenty something getting distracted by their phones at a concert. I mean what happened to living in the moment? The kids in the moss pit where having the most fun. They didn't have time to be on their phones they were hosting up bodies over their heads! I loved to see the craziness but was grateful I wasn't in it. I am much more of a watcher these days. I love the balance I have found in myself. I might be old but I will never feel it. I gave my poor girl something to think about. It is how you approach life that matters. Life is a choice. Make it a happy one. Pick the things that are important to you and express that. Love! Michelle |
