Hellloooooo out there, can anybody hear me? Helllloooooo, guess what today is Easter Sunday. Yes, yes I know this is a political related website, but today I want to do a very personal diary and display several small little points.
- Jesus has Risen, that is what today symbolizes. He got up on the 3rd day with all power in his hands. He defeated death, this is a happy day of celebration!
- The world is round (snark)(smiles)
- I am a real person with a real face. I have always found it nice and interesting to put a face with the writing I read online. After all seeing a picture of the person who writes the words helps (me anyway) to associate and relate better to the person. It makes them more human to my eye and view. So today I decided to share a bit more of myself with you. Follow me on over the fold.
Usually when I read comments here I often times will go to the profile page of the person who made the comment hoping to get a view of the person, a feel if you will, for the person and what they may actually look like, but I have found only a few diary profiles that actually have a picture of the author. I know, I know, some like to remain private and unknown as such.
During my time online over the years I have actually become an open web book, and if you Google my name you can find me all over the web. So today I decided to share some of myself, a bio if you will, with pictures, my artwork and my poetry. This is my most resent picture.
I will be 50 next month so I document myself a lot lately, mostly with pictures and videos. I know it's kinda chasing vanity but I do it anyways.
I have 2 tatoos, one is a rose braclet on my wrist and one is a butterfly on my ankle.
I have fought a weight problem all my life, my entire family was at some point over weight. I reached up to 300lbs and (something) and back pain after several diet plans and failed weightloss programs. Then in 2001 I traveled to Winston Salem NC and I had weightloss surgery, the DS, and what they did was cut half of my stomach out. Over the next 12 months I lost a total of 170lbs and looked like this
2 yrs later I almost died from a block in my intestines, and infection, so I had 3 more surgeries to correct the problem and they cut out mostly all of my small intestines. And guess what in order to survive and live again I had to GAIN WEIGHT. Talk about snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. hummm But regaining the weight was not an easy thing to do because my stomach was gone. So over the past 5 yrs i have managed to gain back 60lbs. Now i want to loose 30 of those pounds, yes, I know, it's insane! But true. My battle rages on.
I am not fat any more, And i am healthy again, yet i am not happy with my size either.But I am blessed so i will live with it.
I have 3 yorkshire Terriers and they are the rulers of my house.
Houdini is the male, head mater of all, then there is little Jazz she is a cutie and then there is the mother Martha who birth the clan.
I have 4 grand daughters, they call me nana-- My daughter and her husband live in London, and I look forward to seeing them in the summer.
This is Jaynia my newest grandbaby, she is the daughter of my son(my baby boy)
Jaynia and My son-her dad, Antonio.
I am an artist and most of my new work is digital art.
I love the lines in the faces of movie stars, Angelina Jolie is a joy to paint. So are Beyonce and Jessica Simpson.
My favorite works are hand drawn portraits of real people that I create from pictures. This is my latest picture portrait of a sweet online friend, I think i captured her essence..
I also like creating Avators like this one and cartoon dolls.
I know I will probably never be rich and or famous(nor do i really want to be) but I do dream big from time to time
I write all the time, short stories, poetry and such.
Here is one of my favorite poems.
Coming face to face with self
Sharon y. bishop©2008
As I awake early and lay in my bed,
I wrestled with all of these thoughts
in my head.
The why, the how,the what, the who,
What Oh Lord, am I suppose to do!
Then I listen for the sweet soft voice of the gentle man,
the inner man,who took the place of the sinner man.
Hold still now child,
collect yourself and breath.
Then,..
he speaks to my heart
the words within.
Every woman's man has to someday,
in some way,
take his own hand,make his own stand,
and find his own path,his voice,
his own words to say.
Dig deep into your being
to find yourself.
Turn over ever stone,
every cell,
every organ,
until nothing is left!
Find your very soul,
the part you can feel so deep inside,
until it makes your eyes cry,
a river of wet, sweat and tears,
cry until all your fears
have been released
and they cease
to exist.
Cry until they no longer
hold any power over you,
until they no longer need to.
Then and only then
will you be able to clearly see
your destiny.
The place in time
where you were born to be!
The place in time and space,
where you have fullness of grace.
That breaths that smell of sweetness,
as it rolls off your lips,
and moves your hips,
at the same time.
Then and only then,
is when and only when,
the pure and free meet soul to soul.
And boast of the things you feel,
the things you see,
the things that are real.
Then and only then will your life
have the truest meaning of time.
The deepest meaning of your mind.
The center of your universe.
It can't be learned, taught, or re-hearshed.
It is a gift.
It only comes when you yield your very being
to know your truest meaning.
It is in fact the ultimate cleansing of your soul,
For then and only then will you meet your truest goal--
of time.
Then and only then will you truly know--
your own mind.
And once you find this place,
you can begin to walk slowly,and smell the roses,
no longer must you race, or strive at a swift pace.
Because you have finally come face to face,
with yourself!
Then the outer you
meets the inner you,
and become one.
And yes, life and getting there
was suppose to be half the fun.
It was in the beginning a gift from
the father and the son.
And once you reach that place
your greatest journey has just begun.
Most times when I am reading online I probably look like this...
I Hope to be remembered looking like this
If i were a cartoon image i would look like this
well I could go on but I won't.
Happy Easter Everyone. May your day be filled with memories.
