Love, Prayer and Peace
Ya he mencionado antes acerca de la importancia de la oración en mi vida, la abundancia de paz que sobrepasa todo entendimiento, y el amor que me rodea y submerge en un océanode esperanza y fe;He enfrentado tiempos tormentosos, tiempos de sequedad y hambre donde he experimentado el poder del amor:sosteniéndome,envolviéndome, manteniéndome viva y en pie de lucha.
Conforme continúa mi lucha he aprendido de manera didáctica por medio de la investigación y experiencia personal acerca del balance perfecto en nuestro cuerpo, mente y espíritu. He encontrado que los artículos acerca de los efectos calmantes que tiene la oración en nuestro cerebro y la amígdala son verdaderamente que fascinantes.
La noticia acerca de la atrofia cortical y la epilepsia me tomó por sorpresa pero e ntendí perfectamente porqué mis emociones estaban hechas un torbellino y por que tenía que recordarme a mí misma "Esta no soy yo,esto no es lo que yo creo" ....a pesar de estar llena de extraños pensamientos y percepciones; me sentía tan cansada pero no dejé de orar, no dejé de pelear.Me sentía como el Cid campeador en su caballo, guiando a su gente a la victoria, traté de explicar ese sentimiento a un par de personas pero no fui entendida.
Gracias a Dios fui diagnosticada apropiadamente. ¡Por fín!! el medicamento ha sido el adecuado para mí, .... continuará
Thank God I was diagnosed properly at last! The medication has been adequate for me, my husband is going with me to all my appointments,he works so much but he perceived the personality changes I went through, it was actually my daughter Nathalia who was there whenever I had a crisis, she saw me crying, screaming, shaking,uncoordinated, with asthma attacks, thyroid storms. I thank God for her life, she has taken me to the hospital most of the time without saying a word, simply doing what she has to do.
I feel quite myself again! I have started praying and meditating on words of wisdom, I stop and listen to the birds merrily singing in my garden, like they are doing right now. I feel equanimity reign my life again. What kept me fighting? What kept me from foolish, uncontrolled reactions?
"If I were to say, ''God, why me?'' about the bad things, then I should have said, ''God, why me?'' about the good things that happened in my life." Arthur Ashe
So I have never said why me? I started to appreciate all the blessings I have had in life.
"I don't want to be remembered for my tennis accomplishments." Arthur Ashe
Without knowing him personally but admiring him as a tennis player, he planted a crucial idea that would help me deal with this unexpected situation.
Did you know that Arthur Ashe was recently chosen by USA Today as one of the 25 most inspiring people of the last quarter-century?
There are many heroic people in history, but my hero is Arthur Ashe. He overcame prejudice to be the best in his sport. He was often underestimated and put down. Yet nothing stopped him from achieving his goal

LOVE was like and anchor in the mist of the storm.
Hebrews 6:19
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.
You are my Rock in times of trouble
You lift me up when I fall down
All through the storm
Your love is the anchor
My hope is in You alone
Before I first learned "by experience again" what a pituitary adenoma was, I had just read an old People Magazine article about Arthur Ashe and I quote his noble words, they were carved on my mind and I remember them when the doctor told me I had a 7mm pituitary adenoma back in 1999.Hebrews 6:19
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.
You are my Rock in times of trouble
You lift me up when I fall down
All through the storm
Your love is the anchor
My hope is in You alone

"I could never forgive myself if I elected to live without humane purpose, without trying to help the poor and unfortunate, without recognizing that ...the purest joy in life comes with trying to help others."
