GlaDienne's Story
I Legally changed my first & middle name in the early 80's from Gladiene To GlaDienne CiBelle, It was an
Empowerment Issue-I am a rebel at heart.
I have been married to my husband John for 26 years. He is 6 years younger. Actually, he married me when I was already a Grandmother. I had been single for 7 yrs. and said" I would never marry again". We met in a Health Food Store .He said I was the only woman he had ever chased.One kiss and I was a goner. We were married on the beach 3 mos.Later.I told him if he was mean to me I would be gone before he could blink!! He had no children & I still had Starr at home she was 16. To her he is her real dad & he has spoiled me rotten. Both of us are Romantics. I think he is more so because he WOW's me all the time. Every day when he goes to work he writes me a love note and leaves it by my coffee & when he comes home I have one waiting for him-----FOR 26yrs. Every night he has rubbed my back until I go to sleep.He has 5 Degrees an MBA in 2000. I asked God for someone who was Spiritual,Very Intelligent {so we would always have things to talk about} & Someone Very Loving. He has healed my wounded soul with his Unconditional Love. God has Blessed Me.
I have 4 children. My16 th. Grandchild was born Dec.15,2010. So now we have "Alia Evangaline".She looks like her beautiful mom my youngest daughter Starr, who is the most like me.They live in Houston,Tx.The rest live all over the country ,California ,Chicago ,North Dakota and as the Grandchildren Graduate from College they are moving too.
I have not had a boring life at all ,and I guess there is a lot yet to come.There is way too much to write now and not enough space.I am on Facebook trying to keep up with my Grand Children that are in High School & College. Well I gave my Free Will Back to God over 30yrs. ago & it still shock's me how he works in my life. What I thought I was on Facebook for has completely Changed into something completely different. I have over 500 Friends & young adults from all around the world who call me Mom, Mummy, Mum, Grand Mum or Auntie . I now have Children of every Faith & I Love Them all. They Post on my wall Beautiful Pictures & are Just so loving to me. I do have to admit I have one Muslim Son that Is very Special to me I would gladly give my life for his.True friends are hard to find. Sheila, one of my friends from Ireland makes me laugh because we are so much alike except she is much younger.WE are both Rebels & she is my partner in crime LoL!!! I am now very involved in the Anti Discrimination Group & many more my children around the world keep putting me in. My Heart is so Huge I have room for everyone. They are an ocean away & I can feel when one of my children are in trouble & I have been right. Sheila Motivates & I tell it like it is straight up. IT shocks them sometimes that I am so" Blunt" but no time for soft talk.Too much corruption, Violence, incompetence, & extreme Poverty. "Burker" my special Muslim Son said "You are a true Mother through & through you just tell it like it is" They call me all the time & boy do I have trouble understanding them. God forbid I get sick they call all the time just to hear my voice..There is 6 hrs difference just from Nigeria & some we are all saying Good morning & Good night at Very different times the ones from India & Pakistan there is 10 hrs. difference. I have to remind them to check the time before they call. I have Children of All Faiths so have been under attack from different Christian Groups. But,because I am a Pastor I use the Bible to put them back in their place. This has died down now that they see I am not there to convert anyone. I am there to Love them,Accept them, Learn from them, Empower & Encourage them. I will not tolerate insulting any of them....Christ never would have behaved that way. Only once Did I have to go After a Muslim Man that was insulting the Catholic Faith. I know enough about the True Muslim Faith & the Quran to Humiliate him as a Muslim. I showed his Shame as a Muslim. He wanted me to remove what I said & then he would remove his. I said "NO" You started this so you go first. He said No, So I said " Well, your shame will stay out for ever...Expand for more
y one to see" Muslims know the Bible better than most Christians & would Never say anything Bad about the Bible, Christ or His Mother. Unfortunately there are Fanatics in every form in most Faiths. Some days I have 200 emails & messages. I was sick for 4 days &,I had 1,200 emails & 40 messages. I had to play catch up.I completely cut off Im's. They all wanted me at once driving me crazy.
I am a Published Poet, Public Spiritual Motivational Sspeaker & I am writing a series of Spiritual Books about Moving from Fear to Love & Moving from Dis-Empowerment to Empowerment.I am also still a lisc.Hair Dresser in 2 States. But, Those days are mostly gone Now.........God Had A different plan for me. I am a Deep Thinker.My daughter says" We swim in the Deep End of the Ocean".I love to laugh, and can see the funny or ironic in so much of life. I am also a Life Coach & have an Outreach Ministry called Angel Wings & Other Things.It is for Empowerment & to give a Voice to those who have None.One of my African sons had made a statement in the NOD group. This was before I knew him. I asked him to explain more.WE were 2 white women {now there are more} in these all black groups mainly of Men. He looked me up then requested friendship. He said "i think we have a lot in common" His Quote on his info was "ONLY THE DEEP CAN CALL TO THE DEEP" I could not believe it.....I have some that I call my Heart Children...Because they jumped into My Heart right from the start.
I was the Independent Crazy Woman who did the landscaping , climbed the trees to use the chain saw and everything, from decorating to the finances.
When you don"t have a man you have to WOMAN up and be the Man too.By the time John got me I was WOMEN hear me Roar!! But if any one made me cry look out, because he would be after them like a Lion.He is my soul mate and we make a good pair. He makes me laugh a lot with his dry humor & I crack him up with my sense of humor -----I see the funny in life & laugh easily. Logan, one of my Grandsons who is now 22 told me once that I was his Granny who lets him have all the candy he wants & laughs all the time.
I believe in karma and it is going to get you every time and it won't be fun.As John say's,It is easy, just follow the golden rule. Or treat everyone as God would want you to, because as you treat them ,that is how you will be treated.
Read my Ouizzies,They hit me on the head. The Flower Child Thing,I never did smoke,drink,Or do any drugs.But,I do very much believe in Peace, Love & Understanding. I write under the Name" CiBelle Of The One Heart"I believe we are all one brothers & sisters.I sure had to learn to roll with the punches with every thing I went through,or I wouldn't be here now.I am a Happy Person...But I worked my butt off to get here & I can tell you it was worth all the hard work. The View From The Top Of The Mountain Is Beautiful!!! I have a Heart full of Joy, Because, sorrow hollowed me out to hold it...That came from my first Spiritual Book "The Prophet" he was so true in everything he wrote. Hope to hear from you, although, some things never change. I did not have many friends in school & thats the way it looks now.If You really want to find me Facebook is the best place. If I don't hear from you I wish you all many blessings!!! PS. For the past two & half yrs. my wings have been clipped a bit....My back was deformed since birth but finally put me DOWN......I had 2 Spinal Fusion Surgeries in a row.I am standing up straight for the first time in my life. It was well worth it & God brought me to the most amazing Surgeon. Dr. Viet Tran, he is brilliant and very cutting edge. In Sept. of last year I was doing something I knew I could not do & SHOULD NOT DO anymore. I had a BAD fall & if I had not landed on a Wicker Lounge Chair it would have killed me. The Problem is I have am amazingly High pain threshold & I did not know how badly I was hurt until December. I have 2 Grandchildren that don't feel pain easily. So in Feb. I finally had Shoulder Surgery to repair all the damage I did...........I HAVE FINALLY LEARNED MY LESSON.........NO CLIMBING on ANYTHING.......I forget How old I am I feel like I am in my 40's........Then I think Oh,my "I am almost 70.......but I still feel 40 something.......LOL
