Today My HNT is different….

I lost my father to cancer. So when I started this blogathon project I thought I would be doing this for him. The same day My friend told me he had cancer…so not only am I doing this for my father, for his memory…but also… for my friend. If monies donated to The American Cancer Society can help someone suffering with one of many devistating cancers then I haven’t done all of this in vain. Won’t you PLEASE Help?

All you have to do is click on My Half Naked Picture ..take five minutes and ANY amount and donate to a worthy cause! I need more sponsors! Pledge a DOLLAR! Pledge 10 dollars! Every Pledge gets a chance to go into a drawing for fabulous prizes to be announced this weekend! Come on now…you don’t want to miss out on that do ya? You don’t need a credit Card to sign up…and you don’t have to pay anything until the end of the Blogathon. I don’t ever touch any of the money, it all goes directly to my Charity! The American Cancer Society!

We are Down to The Wire…. I need your support! I will be staying up for 24 straight hours! I’m not that young anymore so I will need all the Mountain Dew in the state of California to keep me awake! What do you want to see posted? Random stories? Pictures? Let me hear ya!

Since we celebrated
The Fourth Of July This week In The USA
A Little Something In Red…

“My Half Naked Thursday” is dedicated to my favorite Rogue!

I do NOT think I have attractive feet, so for me to take this picture was really hard…and posting it…well that was REALLY REALLY hard. I hope you enjoy it as much as “Prince Charming” did.

If you don’t know what HNT is go here and join in the fun!

Today’s HNT is a little bit different for me…

Today My Half-Nakedness isn’t a photo as much as it is the nakedness of my heart, my soul, Me!

Someone recently told me that he didn’t have time to get to know “The Other Debis”. I really pondered that statement for a long time yesterday. The conclusion I came to is this. I am secure in who I am. I know me, and I LOVE me. I don’t know too many people who can say that about themselves. It has taken a lot of years, and a lot of mistakes, and a lot of Jesus to get me where I am, but that’s O.K. All of those experiences, bad and good, made me who I am today. I’m a multifaceted individual. THAT Makes me interesting. I wouldn’t go back to the way I was even last month, if given the chance. Everyday I wake up and thank The Lord for all the joy I am about to have, for all the lessons I learn. When my father died of cancer 16 years ago it showed me that you just never know, and life is short. I live each day like it’s my last. I tell the people that I love, that I love them. I try and do my part to make this world a better place. It can be something simple like a smile, or holding the door open for someone behind me. It can be something huge like helping a friend who has lost everything in a hurricane…It’s not about what I do…but WHY I do it. Joy. It’s all about sharing the joy for me, and you can NEVER take that away from me.

Have I become jaded when it comes to finding “The One”? Yes, perhaps I have finally. Yes, I made some bad choices. However I have experienced things NO WOMAN should ever be put through. I was in an abusive relationship that ended with him going to prison for trying to choke me to death on my own kitchen floor. I have had my self esteem damaged so badly that I didn’t even want to look in the mirror. I actually started to believe I was hideously ugly. I have had men cheat on me, lie to me, steal from me. You name it I have been through it. Maybe I am too trusting, and too naive. Maybe I am too giving, and too loyal. Maybe I am too loving, and charitable. Perhaps…I thought those were good traits. Will all of these experiences change me? I sure the hell hope so! Growth can’t happen without change.

Have I become wiser? Maybe a little bit.

Am I worth getting to know? Absolutely.

Will I find LOVE? I already have.

Flaws And All

This week’s “Half Naked Thursday” is dedicated to my ex boss J.P. When I started working here, I was going through the computer to see what changes needed to be made and what should I find, but this lovely photo of J.P. hosting a party at his house…or should I say in his pants!

Enjoy!
