There is More Room Out Than In, Especially When The Half Has Not Been Told

Hello Everyone!

Praying All is Well With You! For sure everyone knows by now that I lost a really great man in my life when my beloved Richard Reddix Sr. passed suddenly from this life. By now, you all know that I wrote this book Stand In Your Anointment - This Too Shall Pass! Thank you to all of you who have purchased it, and if you haven't you can at:  amazon.com/author/louisempc . And please, watch the trailer for the book, it is beautifully done, and I know you will enjoy it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfOUVQFaxU0 .

I wrote the book to help me through the grief and pain of loosing this beautiful man! And not only that, As this is not just another love story book! But one packed full of information  to help others to understand themselves too as they go through Grief and Loss.  There is so much associated with it.  This book talks about Grief and Loss from so many perspectives. Growth and Development, as we all accept things differently at different times in our lives. And yes for sure about the Grief Process itself, as it is a process and has 5 steps to it and that you could be anywhere in them at any point along the process, taboos associated with widow hood and so much more.

But still I say that the Half Has not Been Told in the Book! I am still going through the settling of my late husbands estate. Will and all! What should have been a simple thing is still an ongoing nightmare; one that includes the court system. I have to say I am disappointed in so many things there. You expect for some safeguards to be in place, especially where property is concerned. Be warned and make sure all I's are dotted and T's  are crossed in all of your affairs. What should be simple is not when lawyers, and their interpretations of facts are involved!  And God help and protect 2nd wives everywhere! You automatically become an enemy even when your heart is for everyone!  Believe me on this one, the half has not been told! And did I say, that Stand In Your Anointment - This Too Shall Pass also talks about how relationships are affected to!!!

Anyone else going through and care to share? It helps to write this stuff down and to discuss it with others.  The adage  "There is More Room Out Than In" is so true especially in situations that are really complicated! New things, Old things, and where do you put this and how do you sort this, you just can't hold all of this stuff in!

Please share your thoughts and comments!

They Didn't Pick Me, But Did Find A Closer Match!!!


Just before the Holidays, I put up a post about being selected as a Match for a young woman who has Leukemia! Like everyone else, I ignored the messages on my phone. Who are you and why are you calling me was my response, as you know, they don't leave much information on those messages  But when the FedEx letter came to the door, with much more information about why they had been calling me and with a request to come in for further testing, I did!

I had my interview and they told me that the Physicians would make a decision soon.  Well I received my information on how to be prepared for it and all I would have to do. A little concern about my weight and getting to the bone for the bone marrow. And of course, I had to say as I have always said; you can get to my hip bone, no problem, I carry the other weight behind me!  My iliac crests are very accessible. Those of you who know me, know what I am saying!!! 

After not hearing from them by/after the week of Christmas, I did send an email inquiry to ascertain the progress or status of the procedures. Well no decision was yet made. Trust me, I have been praying for her!!! She doesn't know it though, but she has an extra Prayer Warrior Still!  

Well, I have received a response now, and I am not sure what I am feeling at the moment, because in my heart of hearts, I wanted so much to help this young women. I was on the ready to do what this soul needed in order to progress through her life for as long as she can, whole, happy and healthy.  I am indeed healthy, Thank You Lord for that!  I do need to work on loosing some of this weight, but God has truly blessed me in my life with good health. No Diabetes, Hight Blood Pressure, Heart Problems, NADA!!!! Thank You again God!
Here is the body of the email I received, shared hoping to inspire someone to be a blessing to somebody, somewhere! A link is included in the body of the email response.

Dear Louise,
Thank you for participating late last year in testing by Be The Match Registry® on behalf of a patient needing a marrow cell transplant. Test results show that you and the patient are a suitable match. However, physicians believe that another donor is a closer match for their patient, and you have been released from this patient’s search. If the other donor is unable to donate, you may be contacted again for this patient.
Your likelihood of being selected for another patient has increased now that you have completed further testing. Please reply to this email or visit www.BeTheMatch.org if you have any questions, if your address or telephone number changes, or if you wish to be removed from the donor registry.
Thank you so much for your willingness to help save lives. Your compassion and selflessness give hope to patients and their families everywhere.

So please, if you can, go and be a blessing to somebody. They treat you real nice! You have designated parking places in the garage! Check it out!!!
