Oh Andrea…Thank you for your very kind, very heartfelt words.

I live in Blessitude and I wish you the same. Much love and grace – Lorrie

Thank you so for the kind words. I am so happy because I have always KNOWN…from a very young age….and then I traveled away but it never felt authentic. But that is what brought me back here so I am grateful. I look forward to exploring your blog in more depth.
Lorrie,

Hi Lorrie BLESSITUDE is the best word ever, I totally identify with it power and grace. I wanted to thank you for the follow. Please be aware that my blog is a bilingual one. So you may get links to most poems in English as well as to some in Italian… Pictures, on the other hand, have no language barriers 😉
Keep up the good walk.

So happy we connected Anna…can’t wait to read more! Lorrie

What a great attitude Lorrie. How I wish some of my patients could wrap their minds around your statement, “I learned forgiveness is the key that allows love to blossom.” As a nutritional counselor, I’ve found that some hold onto pain because 1. to feel something is better than being forgotten. and 2. for power. They failed to realize that by not forgiving, it is like acid that burns their very soul.
I’m looking forward to reading more! Thanks for finding me, blessings,.
Thanks so much Ellie!! I’m excited that we have connected…I get a really good feeling about you. I have learned many things through my time of healing …One being that it is an ongoing process. And yes Love is the foundation. Blessitude
I’m so happy we now are “connected” – we have so many things in common! Thanks for sharing such a radiant poetry. Love to you! You’re blessed. Take care, Frédéric.
Yes!! I am thrilled 🙂 If Line is the bridge that connected us, I know we shall be inspired together! I see you have been exploring here…I am grateful for that and I shall be over to get to know you even better. I am so happy!!! You feel very good to me 🙂 Blessitude…Lorrie

Thank you so much!! That is so sweet…I appreciate you! 🙂
Well deserved 🙂 Keep blogging!
Hello Lorrie! I just got back from another round of elder care in Alabama. I’m not sure if I’ll be “up” to doing much more than posting for a bit because I’m not even halfway finished processing all my Scotland pics. Let me see how quickly I can get back up to speed! I’ll be in touch!
Hi Debi…hope everything is ok in Alabama! Don’t worry about the blog tour…I’ve got it covered! We can do a sunrise post when you get settled!! 🙂 Happy 4th…Hope Arthur didn’t hurt you!
Hello Lorrie. Thank you so much for visiting and following my blog. I hope that you will enjoy the content there. I like your blog and I’m returning the favor. I am now following you also. 🙂

What a wonderful blog! I’m very touched by your story, I love your words:” My place of love that permeates eternity
I have learned much on my journey
I recognize the connection that we have to all of life
A link in a chain
Where even the weakest is integral to the whole
A part of something larger
Something to be celebrated
Something to be remembered
Something to be loved”.
I’m also so blessed and very grateful and believe we’re all connected. Maybe that’s the reason you visit my blog and gave me the chance to find you…and for that, I’m also blessed and very grateful. Thank you so much for visiting and for the follow!

You are so sweet!!! Thank you so much! I appreciate you and I am humbled by your award! <3
After reading your comment about when your healing began I needed to know more, Lori. 🙂 Your beautiful poem ‘pierced my soul.’ lt is full of such strength through vulnerability – I have found that it’s only when we open ourselves up completely that we begin to heal. Looking forward to seeing each other’s humaneness on our journey. love and light. ~Karen~
Hi Karen! Oh, I couldn’t he happier that we connected! Thanks for the beautiful compliment on my poem…it is my truth. Healing is not something that is like a destination reached…I think it is more the journey. I am continuing on my journey…and I learn more about myself everyday 🙂 Look forward to getting to know you Karen 🙂
What a beautiful subject to blog about, “exchanging illness and depression for authenticity and vibrancy.” Your story is very familiar to me as I too had to face a life-threatening illness to wake up. Sometimes we have to sit in the dark to appreciate the light.
Your poem is also very beautiful. You’re a gifted writer and I look forward to following your blog.
You are a light to the world. Thank you for sharing. Lorlinda
Hi Lorlinda…welcome!!! I’m so happy to meet you 🙂 I appreciate your beautiful compliment…though I still sometimes find the title “writer” hard to swallow. After reading your post about the voices I know you understand what I mean!! 🙂 But on my good days I believe that I am! I hope that you have healed from your health crisis…isn’t it amazing how we can get a huge wake up call in the form of “dis – ease”…I pray that you are better! I’m so happy we connected 🙂
If you have the need and enjoy putting words on paper you’re a writer. I believe you do; so I’m going to call you a writer. 🙂
As for my health, I was the victim of a malpractice. Although the writing was on the wall so I don’t know how much of a victim I actually was. I was probably more of a victim of “not trusting myself,” and believing others knew better. I have my health back now; although I have lost my faith, trust and respect for the medical community. It was a hard lesson but a lesson learned.
I trust from your writings that your health is better now too. I am also happy that we have connected. Lorlinda
Yes Lorlinda…I am so very healed…but as with all things it is a journey. I’m sorry to hear about your situation…but I think when you said you were a “victim of not trusting yourself” it sounds like you learned a very valuable lesson. This year my main resolution is to really listen to my intuition!! Hope the rest of your weekend finds you full of love and peace!! <3
After writing my last comment to you a few minutes ago, I coincidentally came upon an email with the following quote by Richard Rohr that I want to share with you: “And to be fully honest, I think your heart needs to be broken and broken open at least once to have a heart at all or to have a heart for others.” Peace!
Oh Dennis! I just got back from a lovely walk…it is a BEAUTIFUL day here…and I feel so good! Then I read this….and I didn’t know I could feel better …yet I do!!! You are so kind to think of me and send this <3. I think I will copy the words in calligraphy and keep your present where I can see it daily!! Many blessings to you my friend 🙂
When blogging becomes more than blogging(!!!) and reveals to us the wonderful mystery of grace–that’s what your response reminded me of today. Peace!
I’m so honored Dennis. Thank you for your beautiful gifts today <3
Hi Lorrie! It’s good to meet you and your site is beautiful. I love your flower photos. Thank you for your follow and visit to my site. I’m happy to have found you and look forward to reading your encouraging posts!

Thank you so much for stopping by and for your very beautiful words! I am so happy Misifusa sent me over!! I wanted to say something on your site…but something made me hold back. I just want you to know that whatever you are dealing with…I send you beautiful white healing energy. Healing is a very personal issue…but it can not hurt to receive other’s energy. Much love to you…I look forward to seeing more of you!! <3
Thank you so much. It’s so lovely to meet you, and your beautiful healing energy is an added bonus. I am truly blessed. I am feeling much better the past couple of weeks and am motivated to move forward again, after spending several months resting in the eye of the hurricane!! Blessings of Love and Light coming back to you. ♥
I am so happy to hear that you are doing better 🙂 And I’m thrilled that we have connected!! Enjoy this beautiful Saturday…<3

Your words are so beautiful…Thank you! I really appreciate your kindness 🙂 I am happy we connected and look forward to taking a journey with you! 🙂
Same feelings here………….. Stay blessed! 🙂
So often our journeys start when we become stuck.. The shadows that pull us down are revealed as we begin to step out into our own light.. And learn once again that we are worthy of love… But most of all we heal from within when we learn to love ourselves..
In 2002 I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, at one stage I could hardly walk up my own stairs, and would use a stick if going a distance, as fatigue and pain set in.. I self healed, using Meditation, Qi Gong, and Affirmations… of self worth.. using Louise Hays You Can Heal your Life book..
While I still have a top up of Acupuncture every month.. I changed my life in 2002… changed career paths after 6 mths of sick leave.. Once I had made that move and altered my mind set.. I was set upon the course of my own healing..
The Journey Lorrie is always teaching us along the way… LOVE is the Key to unlocking many a lock we place upon our lives..
Thank you for sharing part of your journey with us..
Blessings
Sue
Oh Sue! Thank you for sharing. ..and for reminding me of my journey! Tears are streaming down my cheeks…because you made me remember where I came from…I was very sick…There were days I could not get out of bed. I, too, healed with love…and affirmations…forgiveness…among other things. So it feels kind of yucky to feel so yucky!!! And I know there is some resistance in me that allowed me to manifest this infection. ..I will find it..no doubt…and I will raise my vibration back to where I feel good!! I so appreciate you sharing with me. I don’t always talk about healing my illness because not everyone understands…and I would never want people who continue to suffer to think that I devalue their experience. We all come to healing in our time and our own way…and you are so correct…the main ingredient is love! <3 <3
Bless you.. In 94 I had a nervous break down.. part of my story you can find on my blog..I briefly told it with links in my awakening post.. If you like I will go find the link.. and when you have time you can read if you feel you wish to.. Love and Blessings back.. x
I will start walking around your place and I am sure I will find it! Thanks again Sue! <3
If you do have the time.. A post I wrote is here..
http://suedreamwalker.wordpress.com/2014/01/23/my-awakening-the-signs/.. Within it is links to parts of my healing journey in more detail.. You too have a good weekend ..
Sue
Thanks for making it easy for me 🙂 <3

Regards
Heta
Hi Heta…Thank you so much for thinking of me…I am truly honored. I had to recently decide to not accept awards because I have much less time that I can devote to my blog…and as you know there is a chunk of time required to do the award justice. I thank you for thinking of me <3
Hi Lorrie–Thank you for visiting my small corner of the blog world over on Cookiecrumbs–I also want to thank you for wanting to follow along on my life’s journey. I greatly appreciate your decision to embrace the positive, wanting to be a mirror to others, reflecting that light of joy to those still caught in darkness. It is not always an easy road as life often works against the joy—your inspiration will be such a boost to others who suffer both physically as well as emotionally
I applaud your choice and your journey—
Blessing Lorrie—-Julie
Thank you Julie! Your words uplift me…as I have recently gone through a very trying time and have not been present here as much as I would like. I am working through my “dark” time and healing…and hope to express some of that here in the hopes that I can help others. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. ..your words are a gift to me! 🙂 <3
Thanks for following nutsrok. I am looking through your wonderful blog right now.
You are mighty welcome!! I’m glad you are taking a walk around…welcome to you! <3
Wau…inspiring Lorrie!
Oh! Thank you so much! I appreciate you stopping by and commenting 🙂 Have a super weekend!
You too Lorrie… Thank you.
Thanks Lorrie for visiting my site and liking some of my old man memoirs. I am honored and you are greatly appreciated! Andy
Oh Andy…I loved the stories. I would have commented on the one about your pocket knife!! Wow! and I am sure that you remember it like it was yesterday!! I like to go back and read early posts as well as recent ones…I am happy that I did! Have a great Thanksgiving 🙂
You as well, Lorrie <3
Where was your header photo taken? I love it.
Thank you!! And yes, you would love it 🙂 It is south Florida, and there are days when it is even MORE turquoise!! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Thank you so much for checking out my blog and for following, I truly appreciate it!
You are so welcome…and I’m happy to see you here at my home!! Come back any time 🙂
Lorrie,
I’m so glad you found my blog. You are a beautiful soul. I look forward to staying connected.
Lori
Thank you so much Lori!! I look so forward to connecting with you as well 🙂 I have to thank our dear friend in common…Presents of Presence for introducing us. I’m so happy you stopped by. The post she re-blogged was very beautifully written…a wonderful tribute that made me cry!! I am so sorry for your loss.
Thank you for your kind words. Tomorrow marks seven years since she died (her accident happened two days after her birthday). Grieving is long, but it does lessen over time. ❤️ blessings to you.
Incredibly beautiful poem!
Thank you so much…I’m glad it spoke to you. And I’m happy you told me 🙂
Hello Lorrie,

Same to you Lorrie, Have a great weekend too. Thank you !
Hello Lorrie, it is a pleasure to meet a kindred soul such as yourself. Your “About” page is a lesson to us all regarding love for oneself, and others. Indeed we are connected. Blessings and peace.

Hi Lorrie
Thanks for visiting my blog. Good to have you on board! Hope to see you soon – love your approach to life! 🙂
Likewise, Rob! Thanks for stopping by my house…you are very welcome 🙂 Have a super day!
Here is the post I made for you and Brenda: https://pathsofthespirit.wordpress.com/2015/05/24/thank-you/
Lorrie, I’m grateful you stopped by my site so that I could find yours! Thank you! Your reflections in “My Journey” are so familiar to me––my journey having many similar characteristics. I’m excited to be connected via WP! Welcome to Life Matters, and I’m happy to join your community as well!
Hi Julia!! Welcome 🙂 I am so happy to connect here. When I visited your site i, too, felt the connection of souls who could understand each other because of the journey we traveled. I look forward to a future with you in it!! 🙂
Thank you, Lorrie.

peace, litebeing
Welcome, new friend!! And thank you 🙂 I’m so happy we have connected…I can feel your energy!! Look forward to getting to know you 🙂
These are most encouraging,inspirational & gr8 words of yours ! When someone knows that ,he/she is not only his/her physical body & their body is destroyable,& gains the knowledge that they have to live beyond their physical body,at that time some Gr8 personalities like you are created.,according to me !. 🙂
🙂 Well…it looks like I just might really like “The world according to you!” Thanks so much for stopping by and I really love your comment. Yes…I couldn’t agree with you more…we are so much more than skin and bones!! Glad we have connected 🙂
Hey Lorrie!
I hope you are well. I’d like to invite you to participate in a 3 day quote challenge. No obligation, at all. I was reading up on some of your recent posts, and wanted to say hi. It’s been a while since we’ve had a chance to touch base.
You’ve written some great poetry. I’ve really enjoyed them.
Wendy
Wendy, thanks for thinking of me. I would like to say yes to the challenge…it just might not be the best time for me right now. Let me see what it involves and I will let you know…maybe I could do it a little later. I’m so happy you have stopped by and found some things you can enjoy!! Hope all is well with you!
I hope you find honor in being invited. There is absolutely no obligation at all. Just thinking of you.
Thank you so much, Wendy…I truly am honored!! And it is good to connect <3
Hi 🙂 Thank you for the Follow! I’ll enjoy exploring your blog.
The pleasure was mine! Welcome 🙂 I hope you feel at home.

Alison

So nice to meet you! I could relate to many things!

I promise to get back over this weekend…can’t wait to see why!! 🙂

What an inspiring jiurney you’ve had! Isn’t it incredible once you realize that you can truly make a lasting impression in your own happiness? Glad to meet you! I’d also like to invite you to my ‘connect with me’ series on Sunday’s. I would be happy to have you check it out whenever you have the chance to do so.

A powerful journey you’ve been on, Lorrie. Happy Birthday to your new Self and existence.
Ah! Thank you so much 🙂 So happy to have you here!
A beautiful introduction to you Lorrie, so glad that you choose to rebalance your body, mind and spirit and share your love… What an inspiration you are. Love barbara x
Thank you, Barbara. I’m so happy that I chose to also…things were slipping totally out of control. Now, I learn something new every day. And even when there is a period of lower energy…I don’t stay there long!! I am Blessitude…and so very happy to meet you 😉 ♡
Amen, and amen! I found myself nodding through your introduction. So happy to meet you! 😀
Welcome Laura 🙂 Many blessings new friend!! Happy creating!! ♡
Love the new look of your blog (sorry I haven’t been here for ages), and thank you for sharing your story with us <3 . Much love, Reshma
No worries, my friend! I have been absent for quite some time…it is nice to walk back in and find kind hearts! <3 Blessings!
Absolutely!! Hope all is well with you <3 <3 Blessings <3 <3
This was just the encouragement God knew I needed today–thank you so much, God bless!
I am so happy that this is true…and even happier that you shared it with me!! 🙂 Welcome!
I think it’s important to share, when this happens. I tell people that Faith is not a magic wand–even devout, long-time Christians have struggles and desperately need encouragement. It’s a blessing to meet “sisters” (and brothers) who don’t hide the difficult times–who choose to be genuine and authentic, as it really helps/blesses others. And I forgot to mention how much I love your “Blessitudes”–that is really great!!
Yes!!! And Blessitude to you 🙂 When I first started my blog I had no idea what I was doing or even why I was doing it. There have been more than a few posts where I held my breath as I pressed the post button. But then I knew that I only wanted this place to be an authentic portrayal of …me. And I can honestly say that I have been rewarded so many times for sharing the tough stuff because people share with me how it helped them…and I know it is right! Thank you again…I am honored to share this space with you ♡
Ohhh, you have blessed me so much already. I know what you mean about holding your breath as you press Publish–I’ve had many blogs, some identified as “Christian” which can set one up for all manner of trials 🙂 Christians can be a harder “audience” sometimes–so now I post “whatever”, a mix of secular and faith-based work. It’s not that I’m ashamed of my Faith at all–but God has reminded me that we must “guard our hearts”. See you soon–God bless you lots!
♡ Thank you…and I understand what you said here. I post whatever comes to my heart and figure I can’t go wrong with that. Blessitude!
🙂
Had to give you a follow as its not often I meet people with the same name. 🙂
Welcome! Happy you stopped by…and I agree…don’t see our name too often!
Thank you for finding me and I love your site already! Blessing mermaid soul sisters 🙂 <3
I’m so happy we connected 😉 Wishing you a weekend filled with light and love!
Me, too. Thanks and right back at ya!! <3
Hey Lorrie! Thought you would enjoy seeing my granddaughter, Lily, in a post from a few days ago. She’s the one that contributed pictures to my blog and book. She’s off to college tomorrow and my wife and I are going through 15 different shades of grief. Hope all is well with you. https://ferencepoems.wordpress.com/2016/08/09/one-day/
Just saw your like right after I sent the above comment.
Timing is everything, Dennis!!! She is beautiful!! And I’m sorry for what you and your wife are experiencing! I did not think I would be a basket case when my son left for college…and it came on me with such force…I can remember it like it was yesterday…and ND it was 17 years ago!!! I send you both lots of empathy…you will make it through because you have to…but it looks like a shining light will be missed! Much love to you all!!
Thank you. Our greatest consolation comes from knowing she is incredibly ready and will be a gift to anyone she be associated with in the future. Peace!
Then you did your job 😉 and it’s only fair to share the gift!! Thank you for writing to me so that I did not miss her 🙂

Hello dearest Lorrie. My deepest apologies for not responding and leaving you hanging on the edge since June. For reasons not yet understood, I have a great deal of difficulty concentrating, words on a page or thinking and putting things together simultaneously scramble me a bit. It’s been a looooooong journey. With the help of a very caring friend, I was able to post a new post last night/ this morning, that while isn’t a detailed story, does give a good idea of where I went and what had/has happened. I hope you’re well, I’ve never forgotten you. Like a handful of others, in your own individual ways, our connection touched my heart, and your corner of has remained sacred and held onto greatly. I likely won’t be on WP again for some time yet, my post will explain, but I will be again, and that’s not something anyone has guaranteed me, it’s just my tenacity, which along with my faith, hope and laughter, has gotten me to this point, so I KNOW I will. I so genuinely hope you are well (I’m not quite up to being able to read or catch up on posts from anyone yet, it really does scramble me) and that 2018 will be filled with happiness, health, joy and wonderment for you.
Love & Light My Blesstitude Friend.
Sending beautiful healing thoughts!! 💜 Hope to seen you soon!!
I just looked at your old picture and read your old about me section, and I so vividly remember first meeting you – as you “then” (look and feel so to speak). You used to take walks upon the beach with a friend. I’m not certain if you had met this friend there, or if you would go together, but it was something that was very meaningful you at that time. My how things do change … and my again, how time is nothing, but a moment away in either direction. I loved the old you, and I love the new you – my essence honors your essence. <3
😁 Yes! Time is an amazing thing. I couldn’t believe I had my four year blogging anniversary!! I’m lucky…still have that beautiful beach and friend and now that you.mention it…I need to make time today to get up there! The photo of me doing “tree” yoga pose was taken last week…the morning…and sunrise that day was spectacular…so much incredible energy!
Hope your week is super…
💜
You’ve definitely grown immensely in that time, though your hasn’t change a bit, in fact, it’s even brighter. You too sweetheart. Big Hugs. <3
Wonderful blog!
Thank you so much!! Welcome 😁
You’re welcome!

Many blessings to you 🙂
