A developing self

I spoke with my life coach today and I highly recommend her. I went through the list I had just posted on what I want in life and told her that I have been trying to figure out my whole spiritual self in the sense of how I orient myself in the world. For example, do I subscribe to the do all you can and then let the universe handle the details, or do I…

Okay, here it is!

“Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it.” – Maya Angelou I want to be healthy and my hair to grow again. I want to sell the LaLa and be done with this dream. I want to learn to take better care of myself. I want to raise Tin to be loving and loved as well as self-actualized. I want to live in truth. I want to stop reaching backwards and forwards…

The role of a caretaker

E told me the other day that she wants to explore the role of a caretaker with me. The problem in therapy with caretakers is they seldom take care of themselves. I have the solution – Hashimoto’s Disease – it is a relentless reminder to care for yourself even if every fiber of your being keeps going back to the familiar pattern. The reason is that you simply don’t have the emotional, physical, or spiritual…

Bam Bam BAM BAM

I’m moving in a week and Nicole at New Orleans Petcare posted a note because I can’t take the cats with me. But so far there have been no takers. Today I was jumping into the shower and heard someone speaking to Bam Bam outside the front door. I wrapped myself in a towel and saw this couple sitting on the bricks talking to Bam Bam. I opened the door (yes, in my towel) and…

As I walked across the Magnolia Bridge with my wheelbarrow full of plants a woman said how great it looked and I said I was headed to my…

Hair maintenance

A friend of mine says she only dates a man with facial hair, well I’m here to say that having no hair makes you very hair conscious – not in a good way – ear hair, nose hair, a wild hair – all of these things appear glaring to a bald woman. In an era where young men are shaving their testicles as a part of their daily grooming habits, why can’t the rest of…

Who is writing these horoscopes?

February 02, 2013 Taurus (4/20-5/20) You locked eyes with someone recently who you are going to see again very soon — are you nervous? Don’t be. They are more interested in you than you think, although probably not in the way you envisioned. When it comes to getting to know them better, don’t overdo it. Don’t share everything about yourself in the first minute and a half. Let things unfold slowly and naturally. You should…

Let us now bless shotguns

Is it morning or night when you wake up at 3AM? I’m not quite sure. But this morning, I was up and so I packed about seven boxes full of stuff. Stuff that I’m inclined to believe I have too much of despite a major purge back in October of 2011 when we first started renting via VRBO. Stuff that also has attached memories to it, much like the view out of my window this…
