Prayer to me has always been something different from what a lot of people think it should be.
Others know how to use the big words and the Christian terms that I like to call CHRISTIANESE. Some pick a special time in the day, a special place, special notepads, special sticky notes and sometimes special fragrance for their place of prayer. So they end up waiting for that particular time and Stella Damasushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14197274952639066304noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098105655270721557.post-70165464674563784812017-11-30T09:41:00.002-05:002018-01-06T13:10:36.987-05:00STRIPPING MYSELF NAKEDI wrote a blog a while ago called DATING MY ABUSER, and was shocked at the number of women who sent emails talking about the abuse they had faced.

I was watching an episode of my favorite television series LAW AND ORDER (SVU) one evening and it took my mind to a million places. The episode was about a mentally unstable man who decided to start killing cops. Some police officers watched their partners get shot in the head right in front of their eyes and couldn't do anything about it. They couldn't even find the shooter, which made Stella Damasushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14197274952639066304noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2098105655270721557.post-66398933583993334912017-01-19T16:48:00.001-05:002017-01-21T17:05:12.665-05:00GET OVER IT!I was reading a magazine recently and stumbled on a story that caught my attention.

I watched an old movie called “AMISTAD” some days ago and even though I had seen the movie before, it all seemed fresh and very emotional to me.

Sometimes in life we experience two extremes of different situations.We do things with good intentions but those deeds produce bad outcomes. We want to succeed but it doesn't go our way.We think we are older and wiser but we make silly choices. We feel that we have learnt enough but life throws curve balls at us.We believe we know the people around us but we end up ticking them off.
