Life is an echo, what you send out-comes back. What you sow-you reap. What you give-you get. What you see in others-exists in you. Remember life is an echo it always gets back to you so always give goodness!!

Let go of what was..Be free. Tomorrow's sadness is today's joy of love into the mirror of you.

Small Exchanges
As I look around I see so many people who have all come from different backgrounds and upbringings...when we all come together we are all the same..allow the light of a new experience to be shined upon you today and everyday. Be the light in someone's life. Be a bright light to those to find their way out of their dark tunnel.
Give the gift of kind eyes...Give the gift of a genuine smile. Give the gift of paying for someone's extra paper bag.. Give without expectations. Give the gift of letting them onto the freeway..Give the gift tonight as you maybe wanting to go home - let someone go in front of you.Give the gift of letting someone go in front of you. Give the gift love because in every single gesture you do is a gift in somebody else's life.

Inflicted Punishments
In my life's journey through pain.. I have learned how to let go of which makes my soul undeniably rot in the sewage . Holding onto sadness torments the soul and made me sink down to unknown depths of disrepair, depression, and sickness. When the walls seem like they are ever so high and I would ask my self.."where is the light"?
I had allowed myself to punish myself. I made a choice to suffer. I could not change what another thought of me, did to me, or just talking about me was so unnerving..I would become so angry. I was always trying to prove my innocence but it only made the issue worse because I was feeding the fire. I would stop and think about the anger after some time..many years later. it wasn't them I was angry at BUT at myself for allowing that person or group of people to see my anger through my poor body language and projections. I have learned, I have only hurt myself in the long run and I have only hindered myself. I allowed myself to suffer. I punished myself for no reason. Each time I would punish myself it was because of something of which one did to me from my past. Everything stems from a past hurt which I would carry forward in my life because it was never justified. Well, its not about justifying anything anymore. What I found it was about me blaming someone else for my own mistakes and for not taking responsibility for my own actions.
I spent 5 years of my life depressed to the point of not even caring and asking the doctor to medicate me so I wouldn't feel the pain anymore. One day i woke up and dumped all the medication out and i started addressing every single hurt I had. The ones near me didn't like me and they even told me to my face they like me better medicated...Well, I was agreeable. I never said no. I was "high" all the time. I was fat and unhappy. I was finished punishing myself. It was time to move on and move forward.
I did. I left. I changed myself and everything within my life which has made me unhappy. I am still working on myself, that is why many call "the great work within". There is allot of self healing. allot ..but I made it through the storm when I thought I would NEVER see the end of the tunnel or make it out alive. This is why I made this blog 70 days ago. To share my stories and to inspire those who may see life in an negative way. Keep the faith and BELIEVE in yourself.

We become refined as we experience Life. Life is a very beautiful yet turbulent ride. By Shan Derr 2014
..the beautiful thoughts of Shannon M. Derr
This life we travel through decades of shadows and bright light to see only for who we really are in our own light. Through a great strength do I succumb to my true self. For only after the storms do we really see within the spirit of our souls..a brighter light of my own. I do not know why this has taken me on a journey for such a very long time but it has. I am not thankful for this journey.
The journey of my life has been full of turmoil, and pain. As I look back my life has been very rough..choices has made the decisions even rougher. I was a young adult without the direction taught to me from my mother..After graduation from high school my aunt had taken me in under her wing. I lived with her for several years. I had experiences and they were good ones.
Traveling..Sailing..Seeking...Experiencing.
Still at times in our lives we become lost again and we stumble on the sharp rocks. Coming out on top or so I thought...one action into another has brought me to where I am now.
Standing still with the wind whirling around me do I fathom not of the time behind me which errored me but of the moment which is now, which has brought me here. I am glad for all the books my aunt has placed in my hands to inspire me to greater triumphs.

The stench of the raw sewage blanched fewer of thy lips did stir belief which showed no movement within trying (projection)able actions into the withering into unbalanced mask of your reality of thy own prison of pain.
