Crohns: An Origin Story
I remember it vividly…the night Crohns came knocking, seemingly out of nowhere. Looking back a while later, I’d realize there had indeed been warning signs, but I’d been blissfully ignorant of what they meant, so I’d written them off as nothing.

The sound of Music
“I could never date a black girl, her skin is just too dark for me”, “her kind will never be my type”. In elementary school, I remember moving for the 5th time. I noticed all the little people with very pale skin, straight or wavy hair, and such colorful eyes. All faces turned to see the only little girl with deep dark brown eyes, smooth olive skin, with nicely textured thick hair as dark as the night sky. “Who is she?”, “what is she doing here?”, “I didn’t know blacks live here too?”

The Power to Manifest Your Own Destiny is With You
The Power to Manifest your own Destiny is with You A man…searching for light and lightness within himself is a wise, peaceful, fulfilled, joyful man. A man searching for light and lightness outside of himself is a suffering, afraid, and needing man.

Cherishing my life
I always wanted to travel the world. I currently sit here in my room looking outside through my sliding door. I sit and ponder how the world looks like. Yet what I don't know is that I already set foot through out the whole world. I can close my eyes and I'm swimming in the beautiful alaskan hot springs as I stare at the morning view of the sun and enjoying the nice warm steam of the water that soaks me into bliss. As I write I'm already creating that feeling. I can also go back to my country and hug my grandma. The loving woman who took care of me during my childhood days and gave me the most tender love anyone has up to this date.

RAINBOW and her PATCHES
Hello, my name is "Rainbow Crystal Henderson" I remember as a kid how I was always teased and bullied by other kids because of my skin tones and my name which happened to be "Rainbow." But, I just tried to let it roll off. See I have a condition and it's called Vitiligo. Meaning, I have various light shades of patches, with a faint bit of pink and white on my brown skin.

The Water Technique to Heal yourself completely
Hi there, This is my first story to be shared on Vocal. In this first story, I would like to share a technique that I had learned from a motivational speaker a few months back. Actually, I was looking for a technique that could help me to control and change those habits, upon whom I had no control or could not change and was suffering severely.

The Silver Lining Of Pandemic
The year was 2020, 1st January was welcomed as usual with enthusiasm and 31st night hangover in many longitudes. New resolutions to cross off this year and feeling of starting afresh again with great energy was at the zenith waiting to be fulfilled again. But deep within the Wuhan province of China people were hoping for a new sunrise to come as rescue for their loved ones and somehow protect them from the invisible enemy.

The last to know
How come am I always the last to know? how come everybody knows before me? What makes them feel like they deserve more than me? what makes them want to see me with nothing, lying dead on the side of the road? My mind... they all want my thought process. my sight. my opinion , but not when my opinion applies to them. I love to see myself in others, in fact that's all I look for. and the other persons ability to see me in themselves. I'm tired of the envy of being financially broke and mentally free. Being a house cat has it's privileges... I am also over the need to prove anything. to show anything. I'm sick and tired of people expecting me tom eat their bullshit and feel satisfied. All I ask for is to be given the same understanding that is expected of me. I am a very forgiving person, but I am human. I cry, scream, I laugh and dance, clean , write. Do whatever I have to to get through the trials that come before me. I never feel defeated until someone asks me if I need help. As if I can't get through this on my own. And please don't misconstrue that last sentence either. when I say alone , I mean me and the most high. as if my faith in the most high guiding me is not good enough or fast enough to suit them. we all have our own pace in this race. I run the 100. I run the relay. I have do the long jump every damn day! Dammit! what else do y'all need to see? Looking around my house , judging... How dare whomever! Fuck the views that you have of me and my children. We are GOOD. everything that has come at us we have faced and over come. Right now I'm only interested in learning things that can assist me with helping them elevate higher and not stay stuck. I have read about a few of the most successful people, not being happy or satisfied when they reach their goals and feel its nothing left to experience or they just had enough and they committed suicide or at least tried to. Today I had no choice but to put my phone down and be present. The best thing that was ever taught to me was how to work through my anger and my pain, and sometimes that means just being still and coming up with solutions for my household. That doesn't mean I'm giving up it just means that everything has a time and space when it's only you and you don't have a team. I am my own TEAM. Everyday there is something new to tackle in my household. Everyday there is a win , big or small to celebrate. We know all to well how it feels to lose everything and have to rebuild. what we are focusing on now is how to be prepared when things come at us out of nowhere. Yes, being a single mom is hectic, stressful and can be overwhelming... But honestly , I wouldn't have it any other way. The peace in my home is worth all of the things that we have been through. It has been worth the struggle. The stress had taken a toll on our mental health. We are working through that as well. Sometimes it feels as though no one can relate, then I am reminded that every single mother has went through something similar as we have and can give words of encouragement. The encouragement feels good. knowing that you have at least someone who can identify with your struggles helps in ways that I couldn't possibly put into words.

Visualisation and Metaphors
My courage is stronger than my fear. While fear's hot breath lingered on the nape of my neck during those raw days following my lobular breast cancer diagnosis a year ago last week - 1st November, 2019 - this was a sentence I desperately wanted to believe was true. I said it to myself over and over. Stuck it on my mirror, replayed it on loop inside my mind. At first, I will admit to you, I didn't think it could be true, it was all too much to handle; but I wished so hard that it might just be true. so I whispered it to myself, when no one else was near to hear; I whispered it in my head, gently, while waiting for the shower to warm up. It started to become part of my thought package, my program. I started to believe it. Now I really feel it; just saying it to myself calms me, softens my shoulders and straightens my back.
