You Shouldn't Allow

came across this quote that just resonated with what I have been feeling lately thought I would share.

" You shouldn't allow yourself to be confused by others, act when you need to without further hesitation or doubt, People today can't do this what is their affliction! their affliction is in their lack of self-confidence. (Linji)

where do I belong

 I am the youngest child in my family and always knowing that I still always felt like I never knew where I belonged. Over the years I have continued feeling this way, as of late due to some situations in my family I have again felt this sense of non belonging even more so. and at my age of 49 I don't think it should be that way.Every family has a drama queen or king in the family, don't get me wrong I love my siblings however the one that is the drama queen has really caused friction among the family she does not see it but it's there, she brought on the issues and asks for our opinions then does not like when we voice those opinions, for a person who is 58 when does the drama queen syndrome end? I believe in this case NEVER! she has raised her two daughters to do the same and they are raising their children in the same manner such a viscous cycle! that just goes round and round and it has sucked in two of my sisters so bad that they don't even have a clue of how it is destroying what is left of our little family all we have is each other cause our parents have been long deceased but all the two sisters care about is making sure they are the ones to take care of my drama queens daughters and grandchildren's messes. even if it means them giving up what they deserve to have. I believe in helping family but not enabling them they will never learn to stand on their own, these sister's that are helping are not going to live forever yet my drama queen does not seem to care. and it saddens me because literally this situation has torn us all apart.Looking back through the windows of my childhood I can remember a few good and priceless times however, I mostly remember the drama queen's dramas. I am not saying that these situations were planned they just occurred and well its like the peter pan syndrome she never grew up! She just does not see. for me this situation has been going on as far back as I can remember, She and I had a discussion and I just could not agree so I spoke my peace as she is free to do all the time and she did not like what I was saying but what upset me the most is the fact that because our older sisters have let her grandson( my Godson) and his girl friend live in the house with them( first of all the girl has ran away from home and is not going to school which puts my sisters in a spot) and when I voiced my opinion that it is not fair for our sisters to have to take this on her response was " well it's on them!" my husband heard her say this comment as well and he yelled for her to grow up. she in turn told me to tell my husband to go to HELL! and until he apologized to her she would not apologize to him/ she has somehow managed to cry boo hoo to our older sisters and they hardly speak to me. I informed her that though she is my sister and I love her I am keeping my distance so that I will not have to voice an opinion of the way she and her family treat our two older sisters. we have a family reunion this coming Sunday that we are hosting for my mother's side of the family I have to admit I am not looking forward to it. I feel so much stress and my husband does not want to go for fear he will get into it with her, I understand his feelings and I hope he will reconsider. this whole situation saddens me especially because of the two sisters have in some way sided with her against me and our other two sisters.all I can do is pray and hope one day that they will see or at least be objective.

I love my siblings our mother used to say you can be mad, upset, not like them but regardless they will always be your siblings and you will always love them. so i am just taking my mother's advice and hope that her spirit will guide us all. because of the situation and how they have made me feel to be extracted from the family I really do not know where I belong at least with them.

First Post

This is the first post of my new blog, I am excited about this blog I love the name a little faith trust & pixie dust. yes I know there are other blogs with the same names but I like this one it has always been one of my favorite sayings and so here we are. I hope some of my readers from my other blog will join in on this one as well and I hope to find a few more new readers as well.

so let's get on besides liking the name for this blog what it means to me

having a faith in something is a wonderful feeling- when I say faith I am not only meaning the belief in the Lord because that is everyone's personal choice to have a relationship with the Lord I certainly do. but what I mean by a little faith is just having faith in yourself and what you are capable of doing, faith in your love of family etc.


trust well that works like faith having trust in yourself and in your family and friends, trust in mankind.

Pixie Dust- well I believe like the pixie fairy Tinkerbell, spreading pixie dust is spreading magic of love.
