How are you feeling?
I am doing well. Woke up an hour later
than usual. Had breakfast, skipped rope a
hundred and fifty something times. Did a
smudge, got ready and lit a candle. I
went for my walk to the labyrinth and on
the way back, I went mbae the post office
and found a huge package from you. It
took all my strength not to open it at the
post office.
I got home as quickly as I could and there
it was, the green scarf. perfect. And
you know, I had been praying for various
people all the way and at that moment, it
was your turn Homerx. So I put the scarf
on my neck and prayed for you my dear.
That you may get on your feet again.
Thanks very much for the coloring sheets.
I sure will enjoy that. You are a great
friend. You pay attention to detail.
Homerx, after I put the scarf on, I
stripped the bed, put some music on, did
laundry and while the laundry was going, I
did dishes. I had no energy to do that
before. Laundry is put away, dishes are
clean, counter tops wiped and I am ready
to go for a course at the AIDS office. It
is about HIV and native people. I don't
want to miss.
Then I got a call from a credit card that
is fixed minimum payments. I hate talking
on the phone to those people. I can't
think properly. I have another card with
them and they wanted asked if they could
do a balance transfer from one of my other
cards with the new card. In the
confusion, I picked a card with a lower
interest rate than the new card. I have
another card which is even higher but
because it belongs to them I did not think
about it.
I called beloved husband right away and it
was hard to explain myself. He said we
will talk when he gets home. I kept
thinking about the issue and so I called
the credit card company and asked them to
change from the lower interest card to
their other card that I have. The card
has a higher interest that any of my
cards. She was still trying to convince
me that I had done the thing in the first
place and I told her no, I want the change
done that I had just mentioned. She said
it was still early and they would effect
the change. I had my head straight this
time.
Gotta go to the meeting. Will chat later.
Love and comfort from Mson.

The green scarf got
there fast! and I hope you like color by
numbers...have you ever done that before?
I try to pay attention to what people like
and dont like I'm cool that way
I feel much better...thanks for the
prayers..they help.
I have a TV and TV stand in my guest room
that I am giving my neighbors across the
street for there girls. They have 2
daughters that are so cute and they need a
TV in there room. The one they have is
black and white and very small and the one
I am giving them if big and color.Its old
but it works great and is better than a
tiny black and whit. So I will give them
that and then I will have more room for my
exercise equipment. If
I have over nite company and they need TV
then they can watch movies on my portable
DVD player. I have plenty of movies to
chose from. So thats a good thing.
Its so hot here...almost 100 degrees out
there today. I hate summer
here...its awful...I think I said that
before but geeezzz....!!! how hot is it going
to get
OK, I guess I will get busy with my
chores. Mson, doesn't it feel nice to have
a clean place? Clean bathroom and kitchen
and everything...it just makes life
better.
OK, talk later, be safe
Love,Homer

Hey Bobbie,
I am not being stubborn about the herbs it
is just something I want to try in my
life.
The immune system is a very important part
of our body. It is the defense mechanism
for the body. HIV likes to eat the immune
system opening ways for illnesses. I am
desperate like I said for a good immune
system. I have tried acupuncture and it
did help my spirit being but not my immune
system. Now I am trying herbs just to
see if they work.
Bobbie, you could have died from the
mould. Lord have mercy.
I feel that you must feel badly that you
did not fight the HPV like the other women
did. Don't let it bother you my dear. We
are only given that which we can handle.
Forgive yourself if you hold any shame
about the HPV. Accept the virus and live
life.
Love is very strong. It is like I told
you about my high school sweetheart
Andrew. I carried him in my heart for
more than 2 decades. Compared all men I
met with him. Even when I got married,
Andrew was still in my mind if not my
heart. My beloved husband knew about it
and he was very supportive. It was not
until 2007 when I picked a rock for
Andrew. I think that part you know. So I
can understand when you say that you will
love this individual all your life. I
what you are saying
and I pray that you meet a person like I
met Beloved Husband who took me with all
my diseases emotionally and physically.
And being the alchemist that he is, we can
start to see the gold out of the darkness.
Hope you meet such a person Bobbie.
Thanks for telling me to love my husband.
I do the best I can but I could do better.
Like last week I never gave him a
massage. I was soo tired.
Bobbie, you are a hardworker. May God
bless the labour of you hands.
It is nice to see how proud you are of
Mark. That's awesome.
I am at work right now. We chat later.
I love you
Mson

I left in a hurry this morning and so I
forgot my green scarf. I feel naked
already with out it. It is a very
beautiful piece of fabric. Thanks a
bunch. I have colored once mbae numbers
and I am sure I will have fun. That is
very thoughtful of you. In the box were
also two sets of colors and two shapeners.
Awesome gift. That I will have fun with
that is for sure. Homerx, may God bless
you and give you more. You are the
coolest.
May God bless you for helping those two
girls and their family. You are very
compassionate. You are going to make life
more fun for those girls. A new world in
colour. All the best to you my dear.
Today we have the sun out. The temp is
about 15 degrees C. I can't imagine a
hundred and yet I might have lived in it
in Kenya.
Ya a clean place chases away illness.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness. It is
so nice to get into bed with clean bed
sheets. Now I have to put all the dishes
away when I get home and make sure I
maintain the house. Like do the dishes
daily and watch out for clutter. Tomorrow
is house keeping day so everything will
flow. It has been half a year since we
decluttered and we have done really kept
the home declutered. But I must look out
for the corners like Chris warned me. And
I must get my beloved husband to clear his
desk. Things are awesome at the home
front.
Blessings and love
Mson

little girls faces will be worth it. I
wish I could C your smile with your colors
and green scarf...I bet it looks so cute
on you!
Much Love,
Homer
hi Bobbie thanks for taking
my poll...
When I came in from the fields after
working, I found your beautiful message.
I must say it touched the bottom of my
soul with your ability to reach into me.
It made me cry but also made me realize I
am not the only one who has loved and
doesn't quite know what to do with the
aftermath of love ending.
Thank you for your sweet wisdom and
understanding.
Sometimes, I think we idealize love and
hold it up to be more than it truly is. I
had a horrible awakening this afternoon
from somebody who knows Lee very well.
Knew him and his ex-wife very well. He
tells me a story which truly throws ice
water on this whole memory thing of Lee.
The truth seems to be that Lee beat his
wife when she was pregnant, broke every
window in their beautiful new home, the
Sheriff and helicopter had to come out.
As hard as that is to comprehend, I saw
one time Lee in my house completely fly
off the handle and be really mean and
ugly. Homer tuned into that a long time
ago.
She had to move out of the house into
another of her parent's homes for two
weeks for the glass people to come out to
replace the windows.
Now, consider what mother is going to
break out every window in their house with
her 5 year old daughter inside. I say NO
WAY. A mother would not do that. Then
she got a restraining order against him.
He hasn't paid one cent in child support
and yet says she is lying. Sad story. I
cannot help him anymore.
I once asked Lee if he had been violent
with his wife. He said, yes, but she
never made a report to the police. The
truth seems to be coming to light.
Mson, Homer and Beline THANK YOU for
helping me cut the cord, the line, the
business relationship with this guy. Now
that really scares me as my first husband
also beat me in the stomach when I was
pregnant with Kristy. She never got over
the fear of making it into the world.
I want to thank all of you, God, and
especially my friend for sharing this with
me. Otherwise, I could have kept going
down the path wondering if I made the
right decision to let him go. And, Mson,
now I really have. Praise Be To God.
Your friend,
In Christ,
Bobbie

I KNEW it!
Thank GOD you are over him, MDSL (my dear
sweet love)....You are free
Thank you ,Jesus! Now I pray he stays far
away from you and that you can reload and
move up! Thats my girl!
we have blinders on and can only see part
of what is in front of us. If I could go
back, my life would be very different.
But, we can't go back and instead have to
go forward.
That nice guy from church came over
yesterday and helped me pick up the
cartons left in the new Cabernet vineyard
when they trained the plants. Have to get
it all cleaned up because tomorrow the man
is coming to mow down all the grasses and
weeds in the rows. He is sweet but I can
tell he has a crush on me and I am just
ready for a relationship. He is Catholic
and a true believer and we have a lot in
common. But, I can't be with him. We
have gone over this before. I am not
about to tell him about what happened and
the HPV.
He keeps wanting to take me out dancing
but I don't want to go.
Thanks for praying for me Homer and Mson.
Love you both,
Bobbie

Sorry to read about how you were hit in
your stomach while pregnant. My brother
beat her girlfriend when she was pregnant
as a result nobody has ever seen our
nephew.
Bobbie, you must tell the man everything
when the time is right.. If he is the one
he will stay if not, that is his own
business. Don't keep stuff inside that is
important.
Me I would tell.
Let's continue to pray for one another.
It is a wonderful gift.

Yesterday and today. Posted: 06-14-08 23:51pm
I woke up about 7:30am yesterday. We were
going for a support group, myself and
other people. Everybody checked in and
soon we were having chicken soup. Then we
had to drive back into town and I was late
for work. I called and explained the
situation. During my break I went to the
labyrinth and said my prayers.
Bobbie, I am learning to love my husband
more. Not to take him for granted. Last
night we sat and watched his shows.
Mostly cheers and Seinfield. Also
Fraser.
This morning I slept in. When I woke up I
tied the prayer cloth along my chest and
wore some pants. My husband loved it. I
was on the computer for a while and I had
breakfast. I listened to music. Then I
went out and basked in the sun. After that I came
inside and had a nap. The next thing I
knew, it was going to 6:00pm I quickly started
to clean the house. I was supposed to do
the cleaning yesterday but I was gone for
the support group. I knew if I didn't
make some effort today, I might not be
able to do the cleaning in the week.
I washed the bathroom, did the dishes,
cleaned the floors etc.
All I have to do tomorrow is vacuum. I
was able to go out for my labyrinth walk.
Bonus points for that. When I got home
dinner was ready and I was hungry. Now I
am going to use discipline and wash the
dinner dishes. Heaping the dirty dishes
up is not helping. If I want them clean,
I must clean them.
Homerx, thanks very much for the beautiful
container. It will be useful to put the
in. You are
so thoughtful.
Mson, you are one of the main reasons I
log onto my computer to see what you are
doing. You are such an inspirational
human being. I am glad we share the same
planet.
It is beautiful here today too. Making a
brunch of shrimp, bacon, mazarella cheese
with a sauce with chapolte peppers, sour
cream, garlic, lime juice and cilentro.
WOW! We won a Silver Medal on our olive
oil at the LA International Extra Olive
Oil Competition. Had to stay up until
11:00 last night to get the results. Oils
from all over the world. Walter would
have been so proud of this effort. Also
been invited to have a tasting at a winery
and they want to sell my oil. Every bit
helps.
You must look beautiful in your scarf. BH
is one lucky man and you are both blessed
with the love you have for each other.
What a glorious day when two beautiful
people find each other!
I don't want to go dancing with this new
guy because I feel he is moving too fast
for me. I know I am not ready for a
relationship with him and no sense leading
him on. He is nice to talk to but I am
not looking for a boyfriend right now.
Thanks for praying for me and I will
always hold you up in prayer too. Also,
our beloved Homer. What would we do
without that man?
Bobbie

Bobbie my dear! Posted: 06-15-08 15:47pm
Thanks very much for your compliments.
When I stay in bed longer and feel like I
am getting depressed, it is words like
yours that really wakes me up.
You cook good food. Awesome.
Congratulations on your Silver Medal.
Beloved Walter knows about it. He helped
make it happen. Very well done Bobbie.
And I like the way you say we instead of
I. "We won..." Very humble. I love you.
All the best with selling the oil and
keep up the good work my dear.
Yes the scarf is great. Homerx has style.
Thanks again Homerx. Yes my beloved
husband and I are blessed and the faster I
realize that, the better.
About the new guy. Take your time but
surely you can go dancing.
You are always in my prayer list Bobbie.
You and Homerx, Gugu, Miss Anonymous,
AlmostPositive, Hart74, Carl's brother
etc.
Today I slept in. Woke up and then went
back to bed. Later I treated my hair,
vacuumed, tidied the bed room, did a
smudge, had lunch, smoked a with beloved
husband sitting at the balcony. Packed my
medication and slippers. We are going to
my sister in law's house for father's
day.
She is a nice girl who told me not to be
around her when I am manic. But
I can understand. When I was manic
Bobbie, I hurt a lot of people that I
otherwise love. My husband babysat me
like a child. Watching my every move. So
I am praying that for today I be on my
best behaviour.
You are right about Homerx. He is a
shining star. I love him.

good morning
I slept for a long time and slept
heard...dont remember anything except
getting in bed and closing my eyes...then
I was out!I must have been really tired.
We took care of washing all the dogs and
Ricky mowed the yard and weeded and stuff
while I changed the sheets and did dishes
and what not...busy day. then we went to
the Mexican restaurant and it was so good.
We pigged out and came home and watched TV
and and then it
was bed time...I think we both just passed
out....busy week end. It was nice.
Any way, today is a new week. I still cant
find the birthday gift for the little girl
across the street...she wanted a wall
clock with a dog picture on it...I cant
find one Her
birthday is Wednesday so I have 2 more
days to look...if I cant find one then I
will get her a clock and a stuffed
doggie...thats the best I can do.
My elbow where I had that wreck in San
Fransisco is really hurting alot
lately...dont know why, I think I may be
using it too much or sleeping on it or who
knows...
OK, I think I will have some oatmil for
breakfast and some juice and try to wake
up...and coffee
Later, xoxo,me

I listened to that song and it was
wonderful. I often wonder what will
happen when we die.
Today I woke up around 9:00am without an
alarm which is awesome. Geez, I
forgot to skip rope. I'll do it right
away...*breathing hard* A hundred and
fifty jumps. For some reason, I kept
thinking today is Sunday.
After breakfast I went out for my
labyrinth walk. I did my prayers and then
came home and watched episodes of people
preaching at me. I had lunch and then my
friend John came over for a visit. After
coffee and , we went
shopping at the Value village which is a
second hand store. I found shoes to wear
at Pascale and Chris' wedding in August.
I went and basked in the sun on the
balcony. I am sorry you don't enjoy the
heat Homerx. Here the sun is not as hot
as it should be but it is out.
Next I came in doors and read a chapter of
the book, "How to become a better you"
mbae Joel Osteen. I think he is from
Texas. The chapter was talking about how
to be a peacemaker in our own homes.
Knowing how to deal with strife. Taking
the upper hand. I was reading that when I
change, that is when my beloved husband
changes.
I watched another episode of another
preacher man. He was saying we've got to
know when we arrive. Often a times we
still think we are stuck. We have arrived
but we haven't realised that yet. That
made me look into my life. I did not die
in Kenya, I did not die here. Surely I
have found favour with God. I have
arrived. My mind knows that, my spirit is
well aware but the body is staggering
along. It has not caught up which is a
shame. But I know it will.
Yesterday went on fine on father's day.
Father in law wanted some and he
bought some for us. I gave sister in law
and her man a nugget and said it was from
Dad. "How is it from Dad?" my sister in
law asks. Beloved husband started to
explain and there was this awkwardness and
that is the only thing that almost went
wrong. We had a great dinner. BBQ steak,
prawns, asparagus, corn and ice cream with
strawberries for dessert. Yummy food.
They have four dogs, Wheeler, Lucy, Walter
and Olive. Very happy family. They live
in the middle of nowhere. All you can see
is forest. It is quite the change coming
from the big busy city.
I am very happy that you are so involved
in your community. Helping that little
girl out with her birthday present. I am
sure she will appreciate what you get her.
It is a very moving story Homerx. May
God bless you. You are amazing.
Sorry to hear about your elbow. Hope it
heals soon but meanwhile my dear you must
take it easy. You should put a sling on
and maybe you have to see your doctor soon
when you have the vehicle with AC.
It is about 8:00pm. I will smudge and
light a candle for all of us. 9:00pm I
take me medication. 9 pills and then I
will have a bath. Try and relax my body.
Somewhere in between I will do the dishes.
Discipline. We had pork chops
with rice and vegetables for dinner.
Thanks Lord for food.
Tomorrow is another day and I hope to do
some coloring. Very exciting about the
"Color mbae Numbers." Thanks Homerx for
those.
Goodnight.
Wi chat later.
Hugfully and lovingly
Mson

slacked off for 2 days now I dont have an
excuse, just being lazy. I cant lift
weights because of my arm but my legs work
so I have no excuse for not walking....
I am glad Mson had fun at the BBQ and
enjoyed visiting with every one. Thats
always nice. I have to go searching for
that clock today for the little girl...its
so hot and I have no AC so I wont travel
far...
Hope you both are doing well...talk to you
later.
Peace and Love,
Homer

I woke up
and went back to bed the next thing I
knew, it was 11:30am. Good Lord my body
is tired. I wish the body could catch up
with the soul and the mind.
Had breakfast. All dishes were clean in
the kitchen. What a great reward. I lit
the candle and prayed. I have pictures
and things to remind me who to pray for.
For you Homerx I have the "today I said a
prayer for you" and for Bobbie I have a
button.
These are only the initial prayers before
the labyrinth prayers. I love praying.
Somewhere in between I managed to skip a
hundred and fifty jumps with rope.
I had lunch and got ready to come to work.
During my break I went to the labyrinth
but I did not finish my prayers. I must
remember to pray on my way home. Prayer
is so neat coz you can pray anytime
anywhere beneath your breath and nobody
knows.
I will be off work in five minutes. Go to
the market and get juice, milk, buns and
lunch meat. I will have dinner and will
surely do the dishes. I must apply
discipline if I want me to do things.
I will listen to your song when I get
home. Thanks for your love.

Mson, hi! How R U? Bobbie, good
morning!How R U? I am fine. It rained
quite a bit yesterday and that has cooled
everything off. Its in the mid 80's today.
Hot but not too bad.
The little girl across the street has her
birthday today. I couldn't find a clock
with a puppy picture on it so I got her a
couple of dogie posters and a High School
Musical Clock. Did I already tell you all
this?
Anyway, I really slept last night. I
walked on my treadmill and dusted and did
little things around the house. I still
cant lift weights because i don't want to
hurt my right arm any more...I think its
messed up permanently. Really, it doesn't
seem to be getting any better. Its like
the bone has been damaged or something. I
will wait a bit longer and if it doesn't
change I will tell my doctor although I
don't think there is much to be done for
it...
OK, I hope you are having a good morning.
