Can my path be any more transparent than it is – it is a gland in the form of a butterfly that is producing my metamorphosis. It is a Stick Figure leading me into the light. My home is on the water, my city is on the water, and I’m headed to take the waters in Spain this summer for my healing process. The website for thyroid suggests: Our stress response can directly influence thyroid…
Hello yoga my old friend, it’s good to be with you again Because my hours wasted on my tears, as light crept through the fears And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains, amped on the sounds of silence Today, I made it to yoga in the first of two months where I’ve been spending time turning and turning a new chrysalis. The mantra was perfectly in tune: Gurur Brahmaa Gurur Vishnu…
Friend who hasn’t seen me in a few months: Friend: “Everything okay?” [puzzled look] Me: My thyroid is whacked but the good news is that I’m going to the beach and I don’t have to shave! Friend: “It must be hard without that beautiful hair of yours.” Me: Yeah, but it will grow back … I don’t have my womanly hair but I still have my womanly breasts! Friend: [awkward] “Right.”
She moved to the bayou because she wanted to live near a natural body of water, she arrived in a hurricane, literally and figuratively, and she and the house weathered the storm. She called the house her vacation home; a seven year old boy called it the LaLa. The LaLa was the end of a long journey, another adventure began almost immediately. So perhaps this is Chapter Two, but more likely all of that backstory…
I listened to some tapes a friend had brought to me earlier this year, they are those Abraham Hicks sessions that are about this woman who channels Abraham. Another friend said she didn’t like the vehicle but she liked the message and I’d have to say I agree with that notion. The whole adoration of the process is a little off-putting but the message is on track. And zen in its perspective. Interestingly enough I…
Just the facts – alopecia is when your body has been shocked into an auto immune deficient state and you lose your hair. You can lose a little or a lot or all (as I have). What may accompany alopecia is a thyroid issue – whether it is the thyroid that goes first or after or contingent no one can really say, but in general it does go hand and hand. Hypothyroidism is when your…
I spent a good deal of my day on Friday speaking to a friend about the flip side of the coin. Sort of seeking the tragic optimism that Frankl writes about in his Man’s Search for Meaning – of seeing meaning in the tragic. A few years ago I had asked a friend who had been raped what she had come to find as a way of explaining it all to herself and she said,…
Bayou Boogaloo is going on down the bayou and it looks like it has expanded even more this year, but I’m just not in a festival mood. Know what sort of mood I’m in – a sit on the beach and stare at the horizon sort of mood. Thank god it is almost summer and we are about to fly off to never never land. I think I’m just a little festival’d out this year…
The days are getting longer and hotter but that just means summer is around the corner, or actually standing on the corner peaking around the telephone pole. I was walking to City Park and stopped to talk to my new neighbor who bought the historic house on the corner – he was bringing down an enormous pecan tree (he wasn’t, the tree company was) because it was rotten. Yes those pecan trees grow gigantic but…
