Bundled in my black sleep silks and socks, and giant flannel shirt, I look like a cross between a naughty ninja and a lumberjack.

Getting my walking legs back
I must have taken a dozen walks around the neighborhood today, taking breaks during the day. I hadn’t done that much the past year. It feels good to have the old routine back. I’d forgotten how much I enjoy just walking.
Why are socks on the floor ever an issue? Don’t let your happiness depend on what someone else does or doesn’t do.
I’m one of those who thinks that whoever is bothered by the socks on the living room floor should pick up the socks. If the dirty dishes in the sink bother me, I can either do them or get ticked at whose dishes they are and waste time wondering why aren’t they washing them instead of playing on the computer. It’s a no brainer: I can either keep the offender out of my house or I can morph my perspective to keep myself happy. Happily, in my household I’m the one who throws her socks on the floor.
To the soon to be Mrs. Right: Apology From the Exes by Jeanette Astorino
We apologize, My sisters and I.
If our misery and healing process, has caused you any distress.
He is indeed Prince Charming, each of us own a pair of sparkling, glass slippers.
We have wet them with our tears, and polished them with our pain.
We are sorry if our anger, interrupts your date night.
It is part of the process, of healing, and letting him go,
Remembering that our interrupted date nights,
Were shattered by the anger of those who went before. Continue reading
A vibrational match, that’s what that would be
What is it with dads who can’t be bothered to pay child support ever and single moms who think it’s fine to leave a challenged child home alone every night for a year to be alone with a new boyfriend? Don’t fight for custody then leave them on their own. I didn’t want kids so I didn’t have them.
Evolution
It’s not that we have more patience as we get older, we just don’t give a fuck anymore about pointless drama.
Bernie Siegel, MD “Fake It, Zen You’ll Make It”
Bernie Siegel, MD posted on Facebook: “Dear Everybody, My old Zen Master Irving said to me on my first visit,” You have three jobs here. Your first job is to kill the Buddha. Your second job is to kill your parents. Your third job is to kill me.” As I got up to leave he said to sit down and let him explain what he meant. First, you must let go of any concepts of a separate, superior, enlightened being outside of yourself. Second, as long as there is anything you want from your parents or anything that upsets you, they will be an obstacle in your mind. Killing your parents means accepting them just as they are. They enter your mind like an image reflected on the water. No ripples. Your third job is to kill me.
I get surprised by a friend’s racist comments
I just saw a friend’s post on the news feed and went to his page to agree with him. As I scrolled to find the post, I saw a half dozen racist and bashing posts he’d made. It’s a side of him I don’t know. Oh, there are so many facets of our friends’ personalities. They are either a friend or not, regardless of beliefs. Just not one I can spend much time with.
Cutting the cords of unhealthy attachment
I’m often asked for a simple and effective cord cutting ritual so click here for it. I came across this article and wanted to share:
“One of the most important things a person can do for their relationship evolution is cutting cords that still bind them to previous relationships and prevent them from completing those relationships in the highest of ways. Most people do not realize that when you have a relationship with someone your energetic systems become connected, especially when there is a strong emotional or mental event between both parties such as a traumatic or painful event. We create energy cords through sex and when we make conscious or subconscious vows, contracts, promises or oaths (spoken and unspoken) with the other person.”
I don’t live within these 4 walls, I live in my imagination
I love connecting friends for the purpose of creating magic together, and I think magic is what it’s all about. Magic as in using the alchemy of focused vision to see the good and the enchantment in everyday ordinary life. Then it doesn’t matter if I live and work in the same place. I can never get into a rut. I don’t live within these four walls, within this one mile radius, I live in my imagination and that’s unlimited.
