Do you see yourself in love?
With the social media tools of today, we can explore the voices of our world which never had a way to be heard. Today, we are listening ...
First, this is not an ego trip via a blog, or two blogs in this case.
If you are at www.stephencarey.com, you will find some of the lessons I have learned and am still learning, as I first faced a six year battle with cancer, and now continue to deal with the severe chronic pain, plus the various operations to repair things damaged by the treatments I chose.
In this six year battle with cancer, which is only now considered in remission, I was on a rough chemo drug, meaning I gave myself an injection every day for a year, then, four months on, three months off. Now, I take a less physically draining chemo drug, but in pill form. One that I will be on for as long as I live. The amazing thing about this drug is that the bald head in the picture (which was there), is now out of date. It seems this drug grows baby hair on the top of the head. Then, the baby hair seems to give way to normal adult hair, which matches what was there a decade ago. Kind of cool, but not earth shattering, for I would give up the drug if I thought I could keep the cancer away.
If you happen to be on www.stephencarey.net, you will see that, first, it needs work, a direction. At this time it is really a series of random posts, they are good and noteworthy, but they do not tell a story,
Finally, I have found the direction I want to take with www.stephencarey.net, which is a voyage, via the Internet, to experience the many voices from around the world which now have a platform on which to be heard.
The TRUTH about this blog:
It is not meant as a pathway to let my ego and id run rampant.
Yet, we (me) seem to want to share a bit about ourselves to the world. Actually, that statement is silly. There is no "world" to see this.
It may be seen by a few friends and others as they sift through all of the silliness and seriousness which can be found on the Web. But, it is not the world. The many tribes in the Amazon region don't give one thought about any of this. Those not fortunate enough to even put food on the table do not care about this. Somehow, it seems to be a way to belong; and, for me, a way to stay connected to technology, which I do love to learn about. But, more, I want to learn about the issues of this planet's citizens. I just like learning, and, with the Internet I am afforded a path to learn all I dare to take on.
Plus, just discuss some of the issues I see us wrestling with and my perspective, not always popular, on them.
One last site:
Let's start at where we go to recharge after physical therapy, chemo, work, or just because we need to leave our home for our taste of heaven. Our place to relax is in Costa Rica. It is a very special country, with amazing citizens, from whom I continue my education of how we all live.
For us, this is perfection. Take a look:
http://www.atriptoparadise.com Yes, there can be heaven on Earth.
Please take the time, read a bit and feel free to make an honest comment.
All the best, and as you travel the Web, I wish you traveling mercies.
