"Acts of Kindness Challenge" Entry #3 (200 words or less)

One day during court a lady walks up and says “Sgt.? Do you remember me?” When I remembered who she was and what happened at her house. I asked her how she was and why she was here in court. She said that she was getting her protection order renewed that she had taken out a year ago. But she just wanted to thank me for saving her and her son’s life for what I did that night.

She began to tell me all of the changes that had happened since that night and I was sincerely moved by her telling me this because 99% of the time, domestic violence cases end the same way. The victim usually goes back to the abuser. It's a horrible revolving door. You can separate them, counsel them, arrest them, have restraining orders put on them but they usually go back. But this particular lady stuck to her guns and didn’t go back to her husband and her life changed dramatically for the better and she made an effort to thank me for everything I done that night. Just by her simply saying thank you and seeing the sincerity in her eyes, made everything worth it!

Hello my friend. That is a great post. The revolving door of abuse can be so frustrating. If just one person changed their life, it was worth every minute. Be well! 🐓🐓

I'm glad you got to read this entry! If you enjoyed this then you will love the full story that I literally just finished! https://steemit.com/help/@bluelightbandit/a-cops-true-story-of-domestic-violence-please-read

I absolutely loved it. You spin a good yarn my friend. Great read! Hope you do some more posts like that one. 🐓🐓

Another great story @bluelightbandit!
This is by far my favourite one. The impact on 2 people's lives and keeping them living, is the ultimate act of kindness. ;)
Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting! Comments like yours inspire me to tell the stories that I have kept bottled up for so many years! I have so many... I have far more bad stories than good ones unfortunately that cause constant nightmares and a cold shell over my heart. But believe it or not, writing or corresponding with caring people actually help me cope with the many years of mental scars. (Ironically Multiple Sclerosis is Latin for multiple scars :/ ) But for some reason, I rather not talk about some of the troubling things that I have seen and done to people in person... Is that odd to you?

I was involved in a very intense shooting where a young man lost his life. Due to our departments policy, I had to go in front of about 3 or 4 counselors at once in a group type setting (imagine an AA group meeting or something similar where we were all in a circle). The counselors encouraged me to talk about what happened and my feelings during and after the incident. I said absolutely nothing about the incident and just kept telling them that I was fine. But in all honesty, I was extremely bothered by what had transpired that night. But my point is, I have kept so much stuff bottled up for so many years but for some reason now, I feel comfortable talking to you about it. I know it's just not you that I'm talking to, it's whomever reads this post lol. But, I guess I have certain vibes or feelings towards you and the group of ladies that I have met in your circle. Does that even remotely make any sense? I guess one way to put it, is I feel comfortable expressing my feelings more in this "group" of people rather than say a group of guys in a gun forum or something. I swear I'm not crazy lol, I'm just taking advantage of the opportunity to share some of my experiences and related feelings. These next two words are so easy to type and are used without meaning so often on the net but believe you me, I mean this with 100% gratefulness and sincerity.... Thank You!

@bluelightbandit, By primary profession I help people who have chronic pain. I specialize in neurological conditions because of the MS which I have figured out how to put into remission.
A lot of the people I help are 1st responders and military (highly decorated) soldiers who have been in severely catastrophic situations, which they couldn't leave. I'm great with post traumatic stress disorder and might be able to help you cope... and I am happy to help you, my friend. (If appropriate or a fit, of course.) We must fix your sleep first. ;)

Wow... What are the odds of me opening up like I did to someone like you? You just literally blew my mind! I can only imagine the stories you've heard while trying to help people. I am really interested in hearing more about your success with putting MS in to remission because I'm having a rough time with mine and my treatments.

This is quantum entanglement at its finest. I wasn't 100% sure if you were talking about MS taking hold of your body or referring to it in relationship to mine. Here we go down this rabbit hole, together @bluelightbandit. We can do this one of two ways, as I see it...we can keep communicating on this thread or we can move to email through steemit.chat. If we continue on the thread, others will be able to learn too. However, some stuff may be very sensitive and not appropriate to be forever woven into the blockchain. (I have to leave that to your heart and gut to decide what works for you.)
From my perspective, I am completely out of the closet. I have successful used cannabis plant medicine and a ketogenic eating lifestyle to heal the lining of my gut wall and restore my sleeping patterns. I had severe insomnia and once I fixed that and the digestive issues, I stopped having episodes. I was diagnosed in 2004, didn't drastically change until 2007, when I seriously put both those things together. I haven't had an episode since.
I know your situation is complex, but I say, fix the sleep first, then tackle the fridge. I am more than happy to share what I know and help you. :)

Quantum what? LOL Sorry, couldn't help it! I had to go look up what that meant and after reading the definition, I still don't know what it means lol! I think I have an idea of what it means.

To be honest, I didn't know that you had MS so I was talking about myself. I'm definitely interested in discussing this more with you and leaving it here on this thread is fine with me also. We can always switch it up if one or the other wants to.

I remember reading an article online in reference to possibly something similar to what you may be getting ready to educate me on. It had something to do with scientists were trying to link MS with either the stomach or intestines leaking inside the body... Maybe? It's been a long time ago when I read that, plus my memory has suffered a lot due to this mess.

It's spooky action at a great distance. (Time and space are irrelevant). Information can pass between 2 particles instantly and particles can vibrate simultaneously when they receive the transmission.
So anyone reading this, would say that our meeting is just by chance or fluke but in my mind it is the frequency that we are projecting that is instantly prompting us into taking action with a mere thought. We all project energy in the form of frequency outside our bodies. Your frequency, mine and @natureofbeing's is all very similar and we are ultimately in harmony with one another. It's like a revolving light of lighthouse on a stormy night. If you change your course and move towards what is attracting you, you will find safety, comfort and generally others who all "get" where each other have come from. Since being on Steemit for a year, I have witnessed this happening over and over again. You and I live in different countries and yet have found each other among 300,000 people on the platform. You and I have been afflicted by the same autoimmune condition, and both are or have been in professions that are "service to others" in their nature.

All I can say is welcome home, Sir.

It is not by chance, it is the change in projected frequency that all of us who have ended up on Steemit are responding to. It is this form of crypto-currency generation and all of us working towards the same things that is setting the common frequency among us. (In my humble opinion of coarse...I probably don't sound very humble at the moment and maybe a little wacked-out. LOL)
So, I will leave that for you to wrap your mind around for a bit.
On to "the how to heal" part. Yes, MS has a lot to do with the mix of bacterial colonies in your entire digestive system being unbalanced. We must re-set the balance of colonies that co-habitat in the gut and then drive up the nutritional density so that we can feed the mitochondria of our cells properly to delivery the energy they need so that we don't feel exhausted.
I have followed Dr. Terry Wahls' protocol. If you haven't head of her, start with her Ted TV talk:

This is an extremely eye opening and amazing video! I have heard from several people that organic foods and such have helped them through their health issues. But do you want to know something extremely interesting? Out of all of the doctors and specialists that I have seen, not one has ever suggested changing my eating habits or even asked for that matter. They just want to try new drugs... Thank you for sharing this with me and whomever else happens to see it. :)

FOUND IT! I'm so sorry that I missed this reply, I'm usually fairly decent with staying on top of these things or at least I try my best. Thank yo so much for what you wrote and I agree with you totally! I am looking forward to watching the material you have given me. Thank you so much, you're an amazing person!

I imagine that you've seen so much of human nature at its worst and hopefully at its best and that you help countless people every single day! Thanks for all that you do and for sharing your story here.

I did help several people in my 12 years of service, but unfortunately I contracted Multiple Sclerosis and it forced me to retire early at 38 years old. Losing my career literally killed my spirit as I believe that I was put on this earth to do that line of work. All I have now are stories and memories.

Here is a post I put on here telling about contracting it if you're intetested.

I'm sorry to hear about your MS...a good friend has been living with this for 25 years and I'm quite familiar with it. Who knows, maybe there is a way to engage that same part of you that thrived in service here on steemit so you get to experience your life purpose at least a bit even if in a different way. Just a thought.

And a very good thought at that! :)

Okay, little worried here. I saw where you had sent me several messages on our thread but when I click go to message, it just has a blank page! Our previous converstions are not there either! This is bothering me because you have been so helpful.

This makes my heart happy. I'm so glad she moved on and left his ass in the rear view mirror. Thank you for saving their lives!

Oh, it made mine happy too! It was a very complicated mess that night. I will be glad to go in to more detail about it and write what happened if you're interested?

It will have to be later because it's a long story and I have fat fingers and no typing skills 😊. But it's a hell of a story but with a happy ending!

I just finished the full story of this case if you are interested in reading it. https://steemit.com/help/@bluelightbandit/a-cops-true-story-of-domestic-violence-please-read
