Pain is caused, not when a troublesome thought surfaces, but by your conscious choice to follow the troublesome thought and re-activate your pain by staying on the topic with friends

Stop being ticked at the one you think stole your happiness.  They didn’t have that much power over you until you gave them power by your repeated thoughts and words. They were just a passing blip on the screen of your life. You would be on to happier times by now if you’d stop thinking of all the times they were mean to you. They were mean before and now they’re gone so it’s over, but you have carried that thought around, reactivating it daily for weeks, months, years. If you didn’t have it repeating in the background of your thoughts over and over like a broken record, you would be long past it and on to your better life.  It’s not what THEY did THEN that is causing you pain NOW. It is your own repeated thoughts and staying on the topic with friends. Continue reading

My lack of social activism on environmental issues is not “unloving”

I apologize to anyone who sees my lack of social activism on environmental issues as “unloving,” I am busy working several jobs to feed and clothe and house loved ones in my immediate environment. Not everyone has the luxury of time to be active in all worthy local causes. I do what I can with what I have. In all fairness, when friends want me to write a protest letter to the government,  I ask them to please write the letter for me that all I would have to do is sign if I agree. That’s why I send return envelopes with invoices: to make it easy for someone to do what I’m asking them to do, since they are likely as busy as I am.  I work up to 18 hours a day and don’t have time to familiarize myself with issues they are immersed in.  They know much more about it than I do.  The issue is right in front of them, not me. I pay attention to what is right in front of me. What is in front of me is mine to do. What is in front of you is yours to do.  If you want my help in attending to your priority, please make it easy for me.

10 Signs Your Man Is A Psychopath

I’m personally done with this topic but excellent article here.  Mine attracted a perfect vibrational match after me, don’t fret, they won’t be around long. The article:  “Are you in a relationship with a psychopath? You might think that’s something you’d know right away by the red tint of evil in the person’s eyes, the swastika tat on the forehead, or the insistence on discussing serial killers over dinner. But nope! Psychopaths can be extremely charming and come across like Prince Charming at first. So unless you know the signs, you’d probably get sucked into the life of a psychopath and not know who he or she really was until you are completely sucker punched. Here are 10 signs you should look out for to quickly identify a psychopath.    Continue reading

Sleep walking, sleep working

I love it when I wake up and begin to do phone calls and texts and go into website control panels and password files and realize I’m not as awake as I thought.  I apologize to anyone who got caught up in my sleepwalking, sleepworking, sleep texting and sleep calling of earlier this evening. I thought I was awake. It’s been many moons since I sleptwalk. It’s the reason I began to keep chimes at all the doors, so when I’d open a door, the sound could wake me.  The craziest thing I ever did while sleep walking was either stuffing my pillow into the refrigerator or loading books into the the washing machine, which thankfully I failed to turn on.
