"OOB" WARRIOR mggieblue



I only need to watch the news for a short few minutes to be reminded of how random life really is. sure i have a tendency to over think but my depth is clouded lately by a chance of storminess and interferon tornadoes, riba rumblings and the hope of another yet ever so powerful drug to play havoc with a very small invader.
We wage war everyday, with our virusses, our thoughts, our world and its troubles, our minds hyper foccussing, our little issues and the big ones...so how does one make sense of it all. a bull crosses the road and a travelling stranger let into the next life by a bad second bit of timing.....so as i wander through my world, watching and listening with the only eyes and ears I can perceive this all through I am constantly reminded of what keeps us going. I have always, when struggling tried to find the good in every day. Even if its a small wild ripe strawberry by the roadside or a twinkle in an old mans eye as you smile at him for no reason but to do it. Why do i do this type of thing particularly when things seem the worse? perhaps survival, perhaps I am the eternal optimist, perhaps it doesnt matter a bit but it works. It sustains me. I have found that without the connections of kindred spirits I cannot find much purpose in life so i have to go deeper from what i can see and hear to what I feel. This connection comes to me with stangers in cyber space and with folks I meet who may show a knowing, telling, sigh...yes they have struggled too and they are here keeping their chins up despite and perhaps in celebration of it all
Yes we fight everyday, virusses, wars, spouses, children, politicians, kids on the ball field, and we find hope every day either through, love, faith, optimism, and laughter and even sometimes grief....to name just a few, other wise our hearts will wither...and our smiles fade...purpose being feft by the roadside with the weeds....
whatever makes your juices flow..... kindred spirits.... in the flow of gratitude I find these things here at oob to help me share the collective juices of positive energy and love that sustain me far more than food. This collective stuff cant be seen on TV, cant be measured or analyzed, but it can bring forth change and peace in a heart or a lost soul...it is that powerful.
So here is a toast my friends, a water toast...hahaha to drugs so powerful they blow our minds and bodies and virusses (hopefully to smitherines),
to kindred spirits with the love that binds us all however different to our sameness,
to hope that the wars we find in our existence will settle to a peacefull resolve,
to those that came before us and left us with the connections we cherish that pulled us to this place in time.
I toast you all and hope you find the good in this Thursday. Somewhere I know you will. If you look or listen. Keep you heart open.....
with much Love and silliness,
mggieblue & "OOB"

" Out Of Bounds"

It is with very deep sadness  that I come to you with the news that my co host of the last four years  has passed away unexpectedly. His name is Lou Buratti and he has done more for the hepatitis c community than most ever think of doing. He will be missed by thousands of people that we have helped over the years. We both defeated the hep c virus and were a very positive force in the hep c community. This loss of life as we know is temporary as we will meet again in heaven at a later time. Lou Buratti was a very intelligent and caring man, and absolutely the most wonderful person I have ever been blessed knowing. I will continue our dream of loving and supporting anyone going through the journey of treatments and making sure that quality of life is the best it can be for you the hep c sufferer. His life will always be remembered and cherished because he was one in ten million, and he gave everything he could to helping others. He is now a legend and I will carry his torch f...

" THE HEALING PLACE"

Image
As I read all of your true concerns for me and for Lou,  I am listening and learning from all of you. I know everything that has happened in the past and it was very painful for both of us.  That is why he built OOB.org for me,  to protect me from all of this heartache. I am strong, and I am very fragile as I go through the forum and allow these people to at least have their last say. I want it to be a healing time for all of us no matter how difficult it is for me, this is about the man I cherished,  and he taught me real love for all people. As all of you know he was a brilliant man. I think people felt threatened by his genius because everyone wants to be intelligent and gifted as Lou, no one could ever fill his shoes and it must be taken as an opportunity to make this place better than ever before by finding the good in everyone. So with his death I will hopefully teach some of his love to you and to the people that tried so hard to hurt him. ...
