Tentative Schedule of Posts

 

I am going to try once again to schedule more #specifictopics for my posts so you can be sure to find the ones you are most interested in.  

Here is the #tentative topics I will try to cover and the days I plan to publish them. Remember, this is a #tentativeschedule. It may change in the future, but I will keep you apprised to any changes.

Monday: Memories from my childhood (and already I'm behind)

#childhoodmemories

Tuesday: What's up with that? Comments on things people do that make no sense.  

#WhatsUpWithThat?

Wednesday: A good news post. Sometimes you get tired of hearing the bad stuff. Let's read some good news for once!

#GoodNewsDay

Thursday: This day will be all about the good people who are doing for others, and the many volunteer opportunities available. I will include any volunteer adventures my family and I participate on that day. (Coming up this Thursday, weather permitting, my grandchildren and I will be volunteering for #MillionGraves, If it ever stops raining!!)

 #Volunteerism, #VolunteerAdventures

Friday: This is interview day. I would like to interview one person, family or group about adversity they have personally overcome or have helped someone else deal with adversity and encourage those who are struggling and need a hand up. We could all use that occasionally.

 #Interviews, #InterviewDay, #Adversity #OvercomingAdversity #Encouragement. 

Any suggestions on someone to interview, or if you would like to volunteer to be interviewed, please contact me on Messenger or at my email: chblac6211@gmail.com

Saturday: Saturday will be a day to reflect, reminisce, and discuss. The subjects can be random and I would love it if any of you would like to participate in these discussions. Send your comments, articles, pictures or whatever else you would like to include to me on Facebook or my email at chblac6211@gmail.com.

#ThoughtfulRefeflection, #ThoughtfulDiscussion

Sunday: My day of rest. Except for special occasions, I will not post on Sunday. Let's all rest on that day and prepare for the coming week. 

 #DayofRest, #Preparation

"Enjoy the Ride; It's Going to be Hilarious!"

At 35 years old, a vital young woman was struck down by a devastating stroke; she was told she would never walk or speak again. Most people, especially at her age, would have given up and resigned themselves to life in a wheelchair and dependence on others.

But not Sharhonda. She was not about to give up but threw herself into a lifetime of recovery that has proven the experts wrong.

Not that there weren’t daily disappointments, setbacks, and discouragement. But Sharhonda credits her friends and loved ones for their constant encouragement and support that kept her resolve strong and her determination a constant companion.

“I have a strong village behind me,” Shahronda said. “Family, friends, I have a whole lot of people behind me that (are) not going to let me sink into that ‘pity’ party and stay there.”

“It will be a lifetime (of recovery) I’m sure,” she continued. “The brain is a funny thing, (but) I’m so much further along than they thought I would be, and I’m still seeing recovery.”

While most people in her situation would still be asking why this happened to them, Sharhonda says she KNOWS the reason this happened…it is a gift from God.

“The first few months were horrible,” she remembered. “I was 35 years old, and you’re telling me my life is over? No, I couldn’t stand for that! I had too much living to do.”

In the beginning, Shahronda did what anyone who faces adversity to that degree would do; she asked, “Why did this happen to me?” Now, she says, she knows why, and it’s the best thing that ever happened to her.

“My purpose was for me to help other people…to be inspirational. And” she added, “I was able to be here with my mom during her last days. If this hadn’t happened, I would have still been in Detroit, I would have still been working, and I wouldn’t have been able to spend time with my mom before she passed.”

Sharhonda is determined to be a shining light of encouragement every day, even when she’s having a bad day. She posts uplifting messages on her Facebook page every day and volunteers her help to others who have had strokes or need other assistance by giving them rides or just having a conversation with them to uplift their spirits.

Sharhonda’s advice to others who are struggling with similar issues is, “Enjoy the ride, because your life is about to get hilarious!” With an attitude like that, it’s not surprising to see how much progress Sharhonda has made since her stroke and how uplifting she is to others.
