There is beauty in all things!
My Outlook on everyday things.

Seeing is believing,  the eyes are the way to the soul.

They say that the eyes are the door to your soul.
They can tell others if your happy, joyful, sad, angry, tired,
even lie or tell the truth, shall I go on or do you get the picture?

My Journey with Autoimmune Diseases: Brain Fog and Blurry Vision


I want to share my experience with brain fog and blurry vision. It could be something entirely different other than the usual things doctors think they could be. Like for example, my optometrist thought I might have a brain tumor. I thank God that it was something I ate, something so simple that no one ever guessed it.

I had been getting sicker these past three years than I had in a very long time. Especially my eyesight and memory seemed to be getting worse every day. I had no idea about Hashimoto’s or, matter of fact, any other Autoimmune diseases. Although I had suffered from them all my life, it turns out. The difficult years have been the past three years. I have been fighting brain fog, extreme dry eye, hot flashes, and everything in between.

I’d moved in with my son in 2015 until I could find a place of my own, but in the meantime, he lost his job. We decided that I would stay until he found a new job, which meant that we were only living on my SSI income. We had to cut corners on everything, and that included eating what was cheaper. At that time, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's that same year, and the doctor never told me what I had to do. I didn't know about autoimmune diseases or the special diets that I was supposed to be on, so we eat dirt cheap, eggs, pancakes, top ramen, spaghetti, etc. All the things that I shouldn't be eating. I didn't lose an ounce of weight; instead, I ballooned to a whopping, well I won't say. But, I fluctuated back and forth from one extreme to another. Due to my diet mostly.

During the next five years, I would battle extreme brain fog, and it continued to worsen by the day. I also was losing my vision. It was different from day-to-day. Until last August, I was driving, and my vision blurred so badly a ran into the ditch. I was going to my eye doctor, of all things. Of course, he blamed it on TEDS he had been treating me for it for the past year. I started with extremely dry eyes at first and then developed ocular migraines and was getting worse by the day.

In February of this year, I dove off the deep end and did an extreme detox of my body. After two years of knowing what my body was battling. I found a doctor who was willing to help me better understand what was going on. He told me I had to detox myself in order to find my triggers completely. After seven weeks, I was detoxed, it was a hard journey, but I made it and was very proud of myself. I lost 47 pounds finally. I didn't have a migraine or blurry vision during the last four weeks.

The first week I decided to have my usual breakfast. Gluten-free, of course! I had toast, two eggs, and fried potatoes. Five minutes after I ate, I developed a severe migraine and passed out. I woke up 4 hours later, still with a slight migraine and blurry vision. Now, I have to figure out what the trigger was?

I decided to eat just three hard-boiled eggs the next morning because the gluten-free bread and potatoes had been on my diet. I blacked out again after eating them. Eggs were my trigger! I woke up four hours later, still with a slight migraine and blurry vision. Since then no more eggs and my brain fog has decreased back to almost normal... Yeah! My vision is increasing more every day, and I'm off all the medications he had prescribed, and no more eye plugs to help with the dry eye. My migraines only come around when I've eaten something that has gluten or eggs in it, or I'd been cross-contaminated. Oh, and the blurry vision returns as well.

There are reasons why brain fog, migraines, blurred vision happens. Just getting to the root of it is a journey well spent. Detoxing was my key to the answer. You don't have to stay there. It takes taking control of our bodies. I give it to God through many prayers, and He gives me hope, love, and the strength I need to get through this.

I have had seven autoimmune diseases in my lifetime. I didn't know that until this past year after doing some research about autoimmune diseases. By having one autoimmune disease you can develop more than one, in a lifetime. Battling this together with the support of God, my family, and the autoimmune group that I am a part of has helped me tremendously.

Note: In my autoimmune group, I wrote this so others would better understand the pain that one suffers from silent diseases and autoimmune diseases. Although some do complain to get attention, ones with silent diseases and autoimmune are really in pain. Here is how most of us who suffer from them feel. Most people dread to ask them how they feel because they feel you complain too much.

Nobody knows the unseen pain that some are in and will never understand it. When they ask you how you are doing and you say you're in pain they say you're a complainer, but when something bad happens they ask you why didn't you say something. One should not have to lie about how they are feeling because they are afraid you will stop talking or loving them. It is a vicious cycle for those who have unseen diseases. Many people walk away from them not understanding that is when their friendship and love are needed the most. ~Teresa Blakely

I don't usually do politics, but I can't stand by and not voice my opinion about this. Please, don't judge me for my decisions and I don't judge yours, for that is not mine to do so. Only God can do that. I want to keep this civil and not blow up WdC with hateful comments. This is my opinion, and those that I know personally feel the same. I even talked with my older sister this morning about it. She told me that it did not concern her, and after what I said. She even changed her mind and agreed on it.

President Trump needs our help to save our country!


We are not finished with this race, folks. We can’t give up; President Trump isn’t! He needs to know that we are still behind him. President Trump saw that on November 3rd, he saw more people standing behind him than he has in the last four years. He is fighting for our “Freedom” and a way of life that no other country has.

He knows what it takes to run a business, and the United States is a business, no matter how you look at it. He has shown us his faith, his heart, what he wants for our land. Our land needs to heal, and the only way to do this is to have an honest, God-fearing man as Commander and Chief of our country. You don’t honestly know the man except through what has been said by the other side. Gossip is the worst enemy there is. I know from experience it breaks a person’s spirit; it steals their identity, tears families apart, separates friends, and defames their character.

There is one thing I can say about Trump; he says what he thinks, and he says what he means. He loves this country, and you can’t say that he doesn’t. It is in his voice, actions, and chiseled in his face. You might not agree with everything he does, but did you believe the past Presidents. No, no-one has ever agreed 100% with one. We all have our opinions. Most of us say our differences to family and friends. President Trump voices his more to his country than most presidents have in the past. Although they probably voiced their opinions, but not to the country. President Trump doesn’t sugarcoat it for us. He wants us to know what is going on.

He is trying to do what is best for the whole country. Not for the government, like so many politicians who only seek what is good for them, selfish, greedy people. He has done so much for this country. If it were left up to me, he would stay our Commander and Chief for a very long time because he is making a change for all and not only us but for more countries that need our help. He will make sure that our country heals its wounds that so many wicked politicians destroyed.

If we give up now, we give up what our forefathers fought for. What our family members died for, the ones that fought for our freedom and protection. I have generations that have served this great nation who gave their lives to defend it, actually from the beginning of the United States. I’m telling you they did not die in vain, but you who decided to go with the other person sure have made it so. You have just spat on every American who died for this country. You disgrace those who fought for your independence, which you just gave to them.

Supposedly you decide to go with that other person, which by the way, I don’t know one person who voted for them. We will no longer be a free country. You have just changed our status to a (non-free) communist country. We will be in chaos more than we have been these past ten months. You have endangered so many families and so many other people; you have no idea what you have done.

You have truly forgotten what our forefathers founded this great nation for religion, liberty, justice, and to be free from the clutches of England and many other countries whose Kings were tyrants? Maybe everyone should revisit the history of how they started this country. There are incredible documentaries that are up to date on the facts. I learned things that I wasn’t taught in school, but that, of course, was many years ago. We may not have schools anymore, putting our country on the brink of literacy and where other countries want to see us fail. You have just handed them the keys to your home to my home. How dare you take that right from my family and me!

I plead with you to stand with President Trump to fight for our country. There are four points that we need to do to help him. You will need to humble yourself, pray without seizing, seek God’s face, and turn from your wicked ways. We can make this country great again; that is President Trump’s goal. This country is set on Biblical principles by our forefathers. We stood ideally by while they took God out of schools, our allegiance to our country, working on taking it out of our government, and they are trying to take our rights away to have freedom of religion, to bear arms and speech. We took all those things out and looked where it had gotten us, a civil war upon us, against family and friends.

You have a voice, and now is the time to speak up. We didn’t speak up when God was taken out in our schools, and look where that has gotten us! Why stay silent when God has given us the time to speak out against the evil going on right now. We can stay quiet and think that it doesn’t concern us. Wrong, we cannot remain silent on this matter. God is what we need back in this country, back in our lives, back in schools, businesses, and our government. We need to step up and use our voices against those who want to harm us. Enough is enough!

Don’t let our forefather’s sacrifices go unwarranted and costly to those left behind without their loved ones. It is a cost they were and are still willing to pay for, for the greater good. We have to stand up, folks, and fight like there is no tomorrow. Because there might not be for some of us, some could be your family members who will be lost. Lost because we didn’t stand up to the tyrants in our country.

They say freedom isn’t free, and it isn’t, but we can’t stop fighting for what is right, for we all lose then.

Keeping negative things at bay. There is so much negativity going on right now, especially the Presidential race. I need to walk away from it and get some positive stuff in my life right now. It's been a very rough month and a half for my family right now. With a brother and sister having bypass surgeries within a few weeks apart. We need some smiles and laughter in our lives. May your day be filled with nothing else but love and happiness.

Let your creativity flow,

I received some great news about my baby brother, and I shared it with everyone. In my enthusiasm that it was not cancer, it may have seemed that I was overzealous in his condition. Although my brother Max has Barrett's Esophagus, it is precancerous, and it is still a severe condition. It is ulcers in his esophagus. He is on a diet and medications for it. The new doctor told him if he doesn't change his diet and take medicine prescribed, he is on his way to cancer. He will be healed in 6 months if he sticks with it. He now has the medical assistant he needs and a good doctor.

He will still need medical attention for his heart and will be seeing a Cardiologist this month. The cardiologist in Florida had told him they couldn't help him until his esophagus healed, then they could fix his heart. We appreciate all the prayers and well wishes that we have received. He is still staying in Kansas with our baby sister and is on the road to recovery. It is times like these that you count your blessings and hope that you are doing the right things to get you where you need to be. We are thrilled that things are turning around for my baby brother and look forward to celebrating his recovery when I get to visit them.

Please continue the prayers and well wishes. We appreciate them very much.

Love and hugzzzz to all *Hug* *Heart* *Hug*

This is from a relative of mine who was a respiratory therapist and now retired. Please read this...

Elle - on hiatus please, forward to your friends who are sick. This is for everyone else as well. We have to stick together to beat this.

Just in case you get the virus and develop symptoms, here’s some good advice from a respiratory therapist to help stay out of the hospital and recover quickly.

CORONA Common Sense

Since they are calling on Respiratory therapist to help fight the Corona virus, and I am a retired one, too old to work in a hospital setting. I'm gonna share some common sense wisdom with those that have the virus and trying to stay home. If my advice is followed as given you will improve your chances of not ending up in the hospital on a ventilator. This applies to the otherwise generally healthy population, so use discretion.

1. Only high temperatures kill a virus, so let your fever run high. Tylenol, Advil. Motrin, Ibuprofen etc. will bring your fever down allowing the virus to live longer. They are saying that ibuprophen, advil etc will actually exacerbate the virus. Use common sense and don't let fever go over 103 or 104 if you got the guts. If it gets higher than that take your tylenol, not ibuprophen or advil to keep it regulated. It helps to keep house warm and cover up with blankets so body does not have to work so hard to generate the heat. It usually takes about 3 days of this to break the fever.

2. The body is going to dehydrate with the elevated temperature so you must rehydrate yourself regulaly, whether you like it or not. Gatorade with real sugar, or pedialyte with real sugar for kids, works well. Why the sugar? Sugar will give your body back the energy it is using up to create the fever. The electrolytes and fluid you are losing will also be replenished by the Gatorade. If you don't do this and end up in the hospital they will start an IV and give you D5W (sugar water) and Normal Saline to replenish electrolytes. Gatorade is much cheaper, pain free, and comes in an assortment of flavors

3. You must keep your lungs moist. Best done by taking long steamy showers on a regular basis, if your wheezing or congested use a real minty toothpaste and brush your teeth while taking the steamy shower and deep breath through your mouth. This will provide some bronchial dialation and help loosen the phlegm. Force your self to cough into a wet wash cloth pressed firmly over your mouth and nose, which will cause greater pressure in your lungs forcing them to expand more and break loose more of the congestion.

4. Eat healthy and regularly. Gotta keep your strength up.

5. Once the fever breaks, start moving around to get the body back in shape and blood circulating.

6. Deep breath on a regular basis, even when it hurts. If you don't it becomes easy to develope pneumonia. Pursed lip breathing really helps. That's breathing in deep and slow then exhaling through tight lips as if your blowing out a candle, blow until you have completely emptied your lungs and you will be able to breath in an even deeper breath. This helps keep lungs expanded as well as increase your oxygen level.

7. Remember that every medication you take is merely relieving the symptoms, not making you well.

8. If your still dying go to ER.

I've been doing these things for myself and my family for over 40 years and kept them out of the hospital, all are healthy and still living today.

Thank you all for sharing. We gotta help one another.

You can share this one; copy and paste this post.
Love ya'll, Teresa

Here's my story, well most of it. Sorry, it's a little long. Realizing that we have to watch the medications that we take because of Hashimoto's, they can cause severe side effects and repercussions. I need to tell this, so you get the full picture.

When my ribs dislocated in 2013 and injured my back, causing a tremendous amount of pain, the back doctors gave me four steroid shots. In the long run, they caused me other issues, "Cushing's Syndrome," and they (4 doctors) couldn't do anything for me, but recommend surgery. I refused to listen; something kept telling me, NO! I found another doctor who finally told me the truth about my back. He made me promise him NEVER to have back surgery because it would kill me. The injury was directly behind my heart. That realization hit me hard, very hard. So, I suffered from the pain for a very long time, for years matter of fact.

My back slowly healed, but along with the stress, my Hashimoto's decided to emerge gradually in 2016. By 2017 it had gone full-blown. During this time, doctors tried different medications to help me with all the issues. Because they didn't know about Hashimoto's and what it entails to your care, they prescribed dozens of nausea medications, and they all gave me cyst in a very private area, which I can say are very painful. I have discovered that peppermint helps me conquer it better than anything. Drugs are not always the answer, but on the other hand, we need some of them to survive like gluten-free supplements to maintain a healthy balance of nutrients. I have found that having brain fog doesn't help you remember to take your daily doses. A reminder daily pillbox helps, but only if you remember to fill it. Routines are so crucial to Hashimoto patients; I should say vital to us.

In 2018 I had suffered a muscle spasm in the wall around my heart. I thought I had a heart attack. Seeing a cardiologist and running some tests, I ended up on the operating table. For six years, my heart had been damaged and was getting worse day by day. He told me during the surgery that he had never seen a mangled artery like mine. Once he inserted the stent, I was able to breathe without pain and shortness of breath. He also told me that if I hadn't had the surgery that I might have had six months to live. Very overwhelming thought, isn't it?

Maintaining a balanced diet of your own and taking supplements that your body needs are vital to a healthy lifestyle. We are all different and have to find what works for ourselves. I don't do Keto or any of the other diets. I eat what I love, but I have created gluten-free versions, and I am starting to feel better. Now, to lose the weight that I've gained during this time. I used to be very active, and in these past seven years, I haven't done anything as in participating in any activities. Although I do eat or take something that I'm allergic to by accident, it doesn't help how my body reacts, the swelling, brain fog, and vision issues are sometimes overwhelming and cause anxiety attacks of sorts. I just can't get past my body hurting so much all the time. If I have a great day, I go overboard, getting things done that I need to do. Then I regret it for days, a very vicious cycle—a roller coaster of emotions that no one should ever have to deal with, especially alone. We learn to lean on God for comfort, knowledge, strength, and insanity.

Having groups that others suffer the same diseases, but somewhat different issues help and encourage us all that we are not alone in this.

I pray that all of us find that place where we can feel normal again and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

God bless you!

Why I take Lot’s of Pictures!


My oldest son Jeremy asked me once, "Why do you take so many pictures of me and Eric all the time, Mommy?" I told him that one day we would look at it and remember what we were doing that day. I guess I answered his question at the time because he ran off going back to what he was doing at the moment I took the picture.

It's hard to imagine holding that picture today that it has been almost forty years since I had taken it. And through the years, I have tons of photos to go through and put into albums for Jeremy and his brother Eric. I want them to hand down those pictures of memories to their children. And I hope they realize all the love that went into them, to capture those moments of time.

While others say you shouldn't live in the past, it doesn't hurt to visit it once in a while. I always took tons of pictures during our family outings and vacations. A recent vacation, I took over 3000 photos, I'm not joking people! I was afraid that it would be years before I would ever see California and my loved ones again. It turns out that covid-19 has delayed future vacations to see loved ones. I made sure that I took lots of pictures. Plus, I am a nature freak, and I take pictures of everything of beauty to me.

Recently we lost a dear friend and family member he was only 23. But, I will treasure the memories that his grandparents, mom, and I made with him through the pictures that we took during that memorable vacation in Nashville.

I didn't realize how many pictures I had of him until I started going through some photos and came across the Nashville pictures the week before he died. I had started to text them to his grandma at the time but decided not to due it being 3 am. The question that Jeremy had asked me so many years ago popped into my head. I remembered what I had told him. Now, here was a memory that I would cherish for all times.

Elek is now in Heaven watching over us, like so many other family members and friends through the years. Now we are left with pictures of memories and love that we all had for each other. The moments that we all share captured in a photo or two. Well, in my case, a thousand or two. So, while you sit there and huff and puff because you hate to take pictures, remember back to these words I heed to you.

A picture holds a thousand words and memories that will last for all eternity. You never know who's turn, it will be to leave this world tomorrow. Make great memories with them. Show your love for them while they are still here with us. Take lots of pictures because they are reminders of the good times, the great memories that we share with one another. If you use your phone, print them out! What am I saying print, print, print! Can't make an album without them. Here's to memories and keepsakes may they always be close to your heart.

I know that I've been absent way too long here. I'm feeling somewhat better about the things going on around my family. I can't do anything about it but pray. God knows what his plans are for my family members and I need to release how I feel and let Him do His thing. I need my happy place back. And that is being here writing and doing my thing with my WdC family. It is so hard to let someone else take care of your family. Panicking is not going to solve anything, except make yourself sick with worry.

Ok, yes, I'm admitting I did panic, but we are talking about family and we all kinda do that at one point or another. My baby brother's condition is the same and he is waiting for his insurance to kick in which could take a few months. My sister has not heard anything on my great-nephew's autopsy as to the cause. They are still needing lots of prayers for comfort, love and healing.

My son is sick again, but his girlfriend is well. He goes to work and they send him home due to a fever. My son's body is one of those that his temp goes up when his active. But, according to CDC, he can't work, no chances. What's crazy they don't test the people that are shopping, but they test the employees, who are protected with a mask and gloves before they are allowed to work. Yesterday he became sick again, this time running a temp before even leaving the house. We think that it is allergy-related and he will get some medicine for it. He is still in need of prayers.

My big baby brother's daughter is having foot surgery tomorrow, she is in need of prayers as well. She has five little munchkins herself and will be off her feet for a month before having the other foot surgery done. Maybe I should say send prayers for her husband *Think* *Bigsmile*

I'm hoping that June is a great month for America. We need it, I won't go into all the politics that are going on right now. I'm not going to try and wrap my brain around it. I'm not sure I can at this point. Not to say I don't agree with what is happening at this moment in our country. It is terrible and tragic what we are doing to each other. I will say that I love everyone and hug everyone as well. Except during social distancing. Which is by far the hardest thing for a person who is a hugger. *Cry*

I will be here full time once again starting hopefully on the 6th. Oh my goodness I almost forgot what I'm doing on the 6th. Hopefully, everyone else will remember as well. "2019 Quill Awards Ceremony will be announcing the finalist and winners this coming Saturday. I have the honor this year to be a finalist in the category "Best Inspirational". Along with some very talented writers. 🌸 pwheeler - love joy peace, Sally, x The T Lady x, concrete_angel, and the Wordy Jay. It is an honor to be named a finalist with you lovely ladies.

I will be judging "The Lighthouse Poetry Contest and announcing the prompt for June as well this weekend. Grab onto your seats for the Winner.

Honoring all the writers here at WdC, you make this a wonderful place to be. If it wasn't for some very patient, caring, loving mentors of mine, I would've not ever stuck around.

Life is so strange for us all right now. I'm so sorry that I have not been here much. I check my emails and then get off. I just can't seem to get into dealing with anything other than what is going on with my family. I'm stuck in my home and trying not to worry about the ones I hold dear to my heart.

My baby brother is waiting to get into a primary doctor then go from there to see a cardiologist and a cancer doctor. Heck, what is a cancer doctor called? I have to say that is the only thing I don't understand about the health care system. It's all about the money. I know that it isn't that way with all the medical field, but it is with hospitals. I will not go into more detail about his health for his privacy reasons. Please, keep him in your prayers that he is seen quickly in a timely manner. In order for him to get medical attention before it's too late.

I have had my father on my mind for sometime, now. We have been estranged for many years due to a family member spreading lies and it put a big strain on my family. I won't get into it here, but it has put a wedge between my family and we all drifted apart after my mom passed in "1982." My sisters, brothers and myself were reunited 9 years ago. I was given his new phone number and now I have the opportunity to call him, and we can make amends to each other. I'm nervous and yes, afraid that I will be rejected once again by him. Please, keep us in your prayers that we mend those broken fences once and for all.

My son and his family are in need as well for unspoken prayers, and respecting their privacy, I cannot tell you at this time. God knows what they are going through right now. I pray that God gives them strength, comfort, and love at this time of need.

I hope this finds ya'll well and safe. I will try and be on more in response to emails and well wishes. I'm sorry that I missed my WdC anniversary and celebrating it with you. I will celebrate it when I'm up to it. I know that Bubblegum Jones and fyn won my packages and as soon as I'm up to fulfilling them I will. Oh, I almost forgot, as well as judging the April contest.

I hope to find my muse soon it seems to have deflated this month like a flat tire.
Love and hugzzzzzz,
Teresa

P.S. I love and miss you *Heart*

For everyone that knows and those of you that don't know what my family is going through right now. Here is the latest update. They are running biopsies on my brother's cancer and then they will be doing a heart cath through his leg and see what is wrong with his heart. He is alone they wouldn't let anyone into the hospital but him. They have sedated him, but I was able to talk to him for a few minutes on the phone. Please keep him in your prayers.

I'm know that our emotions are running very high, especially when no one can be with him. We pray alot, we tell him every chance we get that we love him. He is our baby brother!

When our mother passed away he was almost 18. We lost track of each other (all of us kids) until about 9 years ago. Then when my baby big brother died 6 years ago this coming July 2, he disappeared for almost 5 years. Last month he turned up on my baby sisters doorstep. Telling us about his heart condition and the esophagus cancer.

Then he calls us 5 days ago telling us that his cancer is worse and he doesn't want to die alone. This is so hard for me, because I missed all those years with my family. Due to a family situation that we had no control of.

Please, pray this prayer with me.

Please, please, Oh Lord, take this illness away that is keeping some families apart and make my baby brother (Max) completely healed from head to toe. I rebuke the illnesses that is within his body. Give your love and comfort with peace of mind that you are with him. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Thank you for your prayers and thoughts for my family and especially my brother. I'll try and post updates when I'm not so emotional. Everytime I tried I'd get a phone call or text and then I couldn't do it.
I love you, my peeps ❤
