So, Next Sunday Is Easter
Holy Easter cake in the shape of The Lamb. I never know what to do with Easter, so I think this year I will finally do absolutely nothing and feel fine about it. I was raised Catholic, but always found this holiday disappointing and sad compared to my favorite,...
Fine. Then DON’T Like Me.
This is a pre-post because I'm hoping to blog more extensively on this later. I'm in Toastmasters International, an organization that helps people become better public speakers. I'll be doing a speech called "The Art of Being Disliked." My point is that we burn up way...
“Meditation Time.”
In my little run of flash posts, here's a photo of me meditating. Can you tell what colors are my favorite?
How’s Unmarried Life Treating Me?
I'm continuing to go through the process of unplugging emotionally from my ex-husband and his dog and focusing on me. Like many women, I really centered myself on my marriage and how I could improve myself and our relationship. Unsurprisingly, I wanted to talk about...
I’m Back on a Laptop!
I don't know why, but my Comcast modem stopped talking to my Apple laptop weeks ago and I've had to do everything on my iPad and iPhone when I'm at home. Yes, I'm one of those Mac people, but I'm not an asshole about it. There's enough in life for me to be an asshole...
No Chavez Graphic on Google?
Uh, Google! I'm disappointed that there's no reference to Cesar Chavez' birthday on your homepage today!
Happy Cesar Chavez’ Birthday!
I'm going to see the new movie Cesar Chavez tonight. It's about one of the great Mexican American civil rights activists. My family is very excited about this film.
Non-Anniversary
Tuesday, March 25th would have been my sixth wedding anniversary, but the divorce was final on 7 February, so this is my first non-anniversary. I wasn't expecting this week to be so hard, but I keep remembering what I was doing six years ago. Thinking about Bob makes...
Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself Update
Joe Dispenza's book Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One has been instrumental to me. I've been using his accompanying recorded guided meditation to clear decades-long self-hatred, old resentment and anger towards my mother...
My Mouth Hurts
My second gum graft was on Wednesday, March 19. Day 1 - On the day of the procedure, the only discomfort was getting the anesthesia. For the rest of the appointment and day I was either numb or on 800 mg. ibuprofen. Ice cream for dinner. Day 2 - Stayed on the 800 mg....
I Go Up and Down. Here’s Down.
Do you ever get tired of being yourself? Do you ever think, "I don't want to be me anymore?" I get so sick of being me. I get SO sick of being me. I'm not the only one, right?
Still Damn Busy
I have two jobs now: the full-time job I've had for five years and plan to stay in for 10 or 20 more, and my brand new Arbonne business. This has made me too busy to blog! All I can do right now are bullet points. 1. Hit my first month's goal of $1,000 in sales for...
