GI Jane 2 or The Slap Heard Round The United States
There are things about society that bewilder me. It seems people are so quick to have an opinion about others that they have never met and that seems odd to me. Take for instance the slap heard round the United States…starring Will Smith. I didn’t even watch the...
Better Habits: Refrigerator Stone Ground Oats Recipe
Regardless of what your food philosophy is or what diet plan you follow or don’t, eating is important. Babies that don’t learn to latch on properly at birth are labeled failure to thrive and have a hard path in front of them and people with food issues do too. I was...
Medical Issues
My surgery went well last week. I will see my oncologist on Tuesday and I believe I will hear good news at my post-op appointment. But during this time I have been suffering with a bad specialist of another kind. I have sent numerous messages and Karen has called many...
Until we stop choosing trauma, we can’t know peace.
My surgery is tomorrow. I have spent today doing laundry, drinking water, updating my blog with posts I wrote in October but didn’t post and trying not to think about my surgery tomorrow. The last time I went through this I didn’t know what to expect and it was kind...
I Can’t Get Away from My Abusers
More nightmares last night. I can’t get away from my abusers no matter what I do. But I am not without empathy towards them and maybe that is part of it. I see that they are worthy of love. Trauma is passed down from generation to generation and hopefully each...
Growing up
I hear a child having a meltdown in the hallway and I want to cry with her. Children should never have to live in a hotel. It is not fun living in a hotel. At all... As thankful as I am that we have survived here over 2 years, spending every penny we have to get by,...
We Are Not Alone
Karen came in all hot today because Russell Wilson got traded to the Broncos. I do have some empathy for her but I know Russell and his wife are believers and good business people and they will probably come out even better because of this change... My heart is heavy...
Happy 57th Birthday Karen
Today is Karen’s birthday! She is 57 years old and even though that is just a number I am so thankful for that number. Her life means so much to me because she is a light and joy in mine. Happy birthday My Love. I often think about how important life is and...
Food for Thought
I realized today that some of my depression is that I miss enjoying food. I miss coffee made in a French Press with cream. I miss green tea with honey. I miss avocado with a little Himalayan Sea Salt. I have a strong sense of smell and a good palate...enter cancer...
Veda is Here
I am so blessed to have everything I need. I don’t tend to go into detail when I am depressed but Veda has been here 3 days. I named her that. I can already imagine the conversation with my psychiatrist tomorrow: No. I don’t think I need more meds. I think I can name...
Empathy is Good, Judgement is Not
I was harassed recently by a "friend" of a friend who is having a hard time and I really had some things I wanted to say in response to their messages...empathy is good, judgement is not... I am such a lucky woman! I do have trials but I am able to see patterns and...
No one pays me for what I do here.
If you would like to buy me a cup of coffee please do.
