The Most Powerful Weapon

Words can either heal us or break us.

We use them to build one another up or tear each other down.

The words that we so easily use roll off the tongue attacking from all angles.

They fly here and there, never caring who they will hit and how they’ll make a person feel.

It’s The New Generation

First why do parents think it's acceptable to have children constantly using technology daily? Secondly, what is the continuous usage doing to children and adolescents physically, mentally, and socially? Wonder what effect it has on their eyes. I use a computer daily and from daily use my eyesight has changed to where I now wear progressive glasses. I personally can get so absorbed as to what I read online the I too can become disconnected with what is false and what's not. Every now and again I must pause and take time to regroup, unwind and read a book. By taking breaks I can work on my podcast and blogs and be creative. As an adult my social skills diminished even when I was out with friends and family because my curiosity had consumed me with the world of social media, now that's pathetic. If this is what I was dealing with just imagine the children and adolescents.

A detour that took two years of treatment a detour, two years of just heartbreak and through it all I smiled, I laughed, and joked with those who I hide my truth. I looked in the mirror and I cried because the women in the mirror was unfamiliar to me. I cried and I cried, and I remembered looking at my body as it went through this metamorphosis of a change. The disfigured breast after the lumpectomy, the darkened skin sustained from chemo and the burns from radiation oh yes let’s not forget the hair loss. Late in the night the beginning. The fact of the matter is that breast cancer journey is a part of my life, and it will always be a part of it. I’m alive, this will be a part of my journey. I despised the way I looked, I really did and I’m being honest with what I’m saying. The person that I used to see I no longer saw was a stranger. She was someone that was a stranger but somehow through the grace of God I got through that journey, and I am alive and I’m here to talk about it and today is what I want to talk about. I want to talk about that journey.
