The Love/Hate of Siblings

This is a reflection of the love/hate relationship of having siblings. They bring a lot of love and a lot of frustration to your life. Gotta love 'em - well most of the time ;)

Blessed by the love of a step-parent

The first section in volume 2 of the Experience Life in Poetry series is about family. A Part of Me celebrates all the step-parents out there who took on someone else's child or children with love. I know the 'steps' in my life were a true blessing, bringing lots of love into my life.

Love for the 'steps'

So often they get a bad rap, but a step parent can be a true blessing to your life. This specific poem is about the love that my step-father brought into my life and our family. I have a step-mother who also added love to our family. Perhaps we were not a traditional family, but the addition of these two into my life was absolutely a blessing of love. This is in appreciation for all the 'steps' out there, who loved children as their own!

Finding a way to LIVE not just exist

Once the excitement over finally, having a diagnosis wore off a little, it sank in that there is no cure for Fibromyalgia and I had to make a choice. My choice was to find a way to live a full life and not just exist in a haze of pain and fatigue.

How it all started for me

Many Fibromyalgians will relate, this is part of my story and how it all started for me - the long road from onset, through diagnosis and ultimately a life filled with blessings and hope. While there is no cure and it's hard to believe when you begin this journey, there can be a great life following diagnosis.
