 Hi amigos 🙋🌝 Happy new month. May we reach greater dimensions of God's presence this new month in Jesus'name. And a big thank you for your support for this blog through reading and sharing.  Now, let's get down to some business.

No analgesic could ease the pain, no pacifier could subsidize the pain.  It was an impossible pain. A pain that numbed my emotions, and made me a shadow of myself. I went around with the facade that I was alright, but I was dying gradually inside. No one was able to reach the wall and gain access to the dying me. I have wonderful friends that checked on me and showed me love, they would empathize with me and say soothing words. I would smile and thank them........but it was all a lie....
