Hello good morning and how are you? HAPPY FRIDAY to you!! How are you doing? It's been a hot one here and it's only getting hotter. I hope you're staying cool. A 4am thunderstorm wake up call got my day going and I think a nap will be in order but on the upside I got to see the sunrise...what a beautiful sight! I hope you have a great weekend and that you find some time for you and your needs too. What can you do for you to help soothe and nurture your needs...emotionally, mentally, and physically too....what can you do for you? Happy Friday to you! take good care of you and your needs too. Respect yourself enough to say "I deserve peace" and walk away from people or things that prevent you from attaining it. ~~Jerico Silvers.~~ Picture taken by my daughter at the Pinery 21 years ago today I met someone who changed my life dramatically... my daughter Emily. I jokingly refer to her as the love of my life and the bane of my existence all rolled into one...but I'm in love with my kid. Emily...you have challenged me in so many ways, and you've been a rock of comfort too and you've had me laughing so hard I cried. I love you for that babe! and so much more too. We've had some great memories together. Your strength and wanna canna do it attitude amazes me some days. But I know too how scared you are. But I want you to always know you have it in you to do whatever you want in life. Your courage screams some days (every time you ride that board of yours!!) and I've had to plug my ears and keep my fingers crossed...but I know you will do just fine. I love you more today than I did yesterday and I am curious to see the woman you're becoming...a strong, independent, loving and caring person. Chase your dreams babe and make them your reality. (I hope this picture reminds you of that). Love you forever, like you for always xo as long as I'm living my baby you'll be. The Facebook hit another milestone yesterday....15,000 friends. Thank you for flying with me! take good care of you please. Many of us are so focused on the outcome that we miss the joy of the task. If you have so much to do that you have nothing to look forward to but more doing, you had better slow down, because there is something you are missing. When you move too fast, doing too much, you miss the moment by moment, day by day joy associated with being alive. The goodness of life is right where you are, but you have to slow down in order to recognize it. ~~Iyanla Vanzant~~ Picture taken by a friend Pam T. Do you experience chronic fatigue? Do you know what causes it? What helps you?
I came across this article the other day and thought it something to share with you. There is a lot of research going on trying to find the causes and cures for chronic fatigue...could it possibly be in our guts? Hmm. This article is shared for your personal entertainment only is NOT meant to take the place of direct medical care from a qualified medical professional. If you have questions about what you read here.... please go talk to your doctor. I'm a water baby so I go the beach. Where do you go when you need to find your peace? What sounds do you hear? What smells are in the air? What does this place mean to you and why? I hope you make some time to go there and to let yourself feel all the good that it brings you. Go as often as you can and as you need...soothe yourself. these are just a few of the pictures I took that day...I came home smiling Changing yourself takes time, it is incremental and can seem like hypocrisy to judging observers. While developing yourself you may reverse opinions, contradict yourself and seem inconsistent with your beliefs and actions. Don't allow people to control you with the consistency trap. Consistency has been weaponized. Don't let consistency be used against your holistic being and full-spectrum intelligence. You are not illogical. You are not stupid. Being 'smart' is a total spectrum of behaviors; it is about balance — not just intellect. Your opinions matter, and you can even change them! You can say things that are completely wrong and still be a part of a legitimate dialogue. You can do things that are completely wrong and still be a part of a legitimate evolution. You are an amorphous being and can change your views, opinions, ideas, and beliefs at will and as frequently as you desire. You are allowed to be inconsistent, contradictory and unbound by conventions such as sanity, intelligence or making sense. When you reserve the right to total contradiction, you reserve the self-acceptance to be human. ~~Bryant McGill~~ Picture taken when I ran away last week If you are alive in the world today I'm sure you've heard about the new Pokeman Go Pick-Me-Up game. My first intro to the game was when I went to Sunfest with my daughter a week ago. She was all excited that she would be able to find some Pokeman that were at the park. In my thoughts? well...I was thinking we would find people dressed up as the characters...little did I know about the game but I learned quickly.
There is a lot of hype about this game and some people are all for it and some are just laughing at the silliness of it all. I'm not sure what camp I fall into (I've never been a real gamer) but my daughter is...so when I came across this article I gave it a read and thought it something to share here with you. It may be just a game, but it may also be getting some people out of their houses and socializing...dare I saw walking and exercising? Improve your mental health? Hmm..go figure eh? |
