| Describe an item or collection in your home that represents something important about you or your life. The item(s) may be related to your history, your present life, or your dreams, goals, and desires for the future. | I am the item of artifact in my home! I am the ALL I surround myself with that relates to my history, my dreams, my future goals and my current desires to just clear it up! |
| Complete the following statement: “If I had to let go of ___________, it would feel like losing a part of myself.” | "If I had to let go of me, myself and I, it would and does' f e e l like I am failing that vulnerable little me because my "stuff" is all I have left of my former identity, family/Familia/familial and prior life. Tremendous fear and brain chatter takes over. Great statement to write out because it helps getting to the core of what drives me (and maybe = all of us?) |
| Imagine if a complete stranger walked through your home right now. How might that stranger describe the person or people who live in your space? | My new Care/Case Manager had to do my home visit. I warned her that I do not do dishes. She asked such specific questions of me as she stood in the midst of my piles of stuff while inside my home. I was terrified of her denying me my needs for care and so on... Here is what she not only said - SHE TOOK A STAND FOR ME! as she described straight to my hurting heart! "[Marsh...} !!"*7#%!!" regarding the dishes. I have read your file and I was stunned at how you have continued to live with grace, kindness, compassion - within all the failures of support, poverty, failing health, traumatic family and then the sudden death of your beloved Spouse. That you suffered it alone and yet kept your inner faith. ..." "What I see as I look around at your home -the piles, the stuff and then = there are spaces clear, shiny, organized...all represents to me that a shattered human being is struggling to live here. To find love and safety again while reaching out beyond your basic comfort zone to live better and just be.” She ended with asking me [as I stood sobbing] “How I can Help?" I was approved. Whoo-hoo!! Thank you Gayle, TCF, Ed and each one of you. |

May not be a question - just an itty bitty step written on my sticky-note that I created for me. Maybe others could promote for themselves this singular and, simple healing gift. |
