Beautifully Broken

     Good evening my readers, I hope today you weren’t in too much pain. It was a hot day to day. I’m just relaxing this evening, and wanted to get at least 3 more entries in my IC blog before the end of this month. Tonight’s topic is an important one, they all are let me say that, but this one is one that tends to get pushed under the rug.”How do IC and Fibro affect Men?”      Both IC and fibromyalgia are complex diseases. Many suffer in silence without a voice, behind closes doors. IC and fibro do not discriminate against woman or men. What needs to be re-emphases is that both suffer with these. Both are affected differently, yet were all fighting this tiresome battle on a daily basis. It looks different, but we need to remember this above all else, WE all are a family; we need to start opening our hearts to the men out there who feel alone and isolated.         There is already a stigma of these diseases, so th...

Another night, of insomnia, another night I lay awake I toss and I turn. I feel restless I feel as though I want to crawl out of my skin. Every hour it seems I’m up...

                       Good evening readers,I know its been awhile since I wrote in my blog and I apologize for that. This entry won’t be a regular entry I feel led to share with you another one of my poems to encourage your weary souls. I know that a lot of my IC and fibro and many suffering from chronic pain are dealing with a lot, their health is failing, and they feel overwhelmed, pressed down from so many different angles.       Today my pain is so severe, I was late getting my period, and we know how that flares our IC, but I forced myself to go outside and just sit in the sun for a little bit. It was a time of refreshment and peace. The sky was so blue, as blue as can be, the sun was so warm on my face and the clouds so puffy. I then spent a hour just reading my bible, I felt the Holy spirit drench me with His peace. I put myself aside and ...
