discovering who I really am in the midst of a chaotic world
So I'm not sure how to word this latest phase of life I'm in. I'm sure I'll sound bizarre & not make a lot of sense. My apologies in advance. I'm not drunk nor am I high. Just new territory. 🙂 I saw Dr. G on Monday. I was telling her all about these wonderful, …
This past Shabbat was Parashat Emor, which is a section of Leviticus about different laws for Shabbat, holidays, & so forth. Rabbi S focused on the section of harvesting & it's still with me several days later. Leviticus states when you harvest your grains, leave the outside edges alone for the poor to have. Also, whatever …
I heard a really interesting statistic the other day: It takes 17 days to create a habit & 68 days to create a lifestyle. So you could take any goal that you wanted to accomplish & be consistent for 17 days to turn it into a habit. Do this 4x over & you've got a …
Today's post is about menstruation. This is the only warning you get. Something that affects billions of women every month doesn't need a warning but I realize some of you might be squeamish. Okay, so it's my Red Week. I'm downing ibuprofen & acetaminophen like candy. I'm drinking so much water I'm peeing around the …
Bees look SO fuzzy! 🐝 Little late this month but that's okay. My focus has been on decluttering my mental & physical space. And it's been glorious. 🙂 As you can tell, I'm entering into this phase where I'm strictly physical & financial. This might just be where I'm at for the rest of the …
It's been about a week since I started being honest with myself & going through what I actually use & need. I've only gone through a few areas but I can already see the changes. With each item I use, I feel more grateful. With each item I toss, I thank it for serving me …
I guess this could also apply to other partners but seeing how I get the most resistance from wives (in heterosexual relationships), I'm directly addressing them today. YMMV. Dear Wife, I get it. I do. This is not what you had planned. Maybe you were raised with the false belief that only one person would …
If you've been with me for a good amount of time, you know how I feel about manipulation, deception, & the mental games people play. In short, I don't do it. I refuse to give in or to be controlled by what they want. It's horseshit, right? So in the midst of all of that, …
I was thinking about how many items I've bought that are still lying around my house. I'm not talking about unfinished projects, although I do have a few of those. I mean toiletries, food in the pantry, clothes, books I wanted to read, etc. On top of all the little items I "had to have." …
This is just a quick note to let you know, yes, I've edited some older posts via password protected. This is for my benefit. Part of it is because Dr. G encouraged me to do so. I mean, this is my personal form of therapy. 😉 Another part is because I'm not there anymore & …
