Insights on keeping our balance ⚖️ in an unbalanced world. Even Seagull won't stand up |
|
This current Blog ( November 1st 2023-?) is being created in Mississippi. It's a journal of my journey . My way of bringing light 🕯️ to dispel the darkness in our world. Everyday 🎵 should be Earth day 🌻. If not now when? Trying to navigate the craziness of our world and raising our 2 rescue kitties 😻! Fine-tuning my skills as a writer! I fight depression almost every day and deal with chronic pain issues. Using my faith, humor and humility. I bring experience from decades of learning spiritual guidance, using teachings from faith systems I've used to cope and learn to move forward. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Enjoy at any rate 😜! To share relevant quotes and welcome feedback as always indeed 😁! If I am not for myself, Who will be for me? If I am not for others, What am I? And if not now when? Rabbi Hillel ( The Elder) 1st century |
| Hi, y'all 👋🤠! The past two weeks my writing has been directed to bringing encouragement and good vibes to friends and family 💜. My energy level 🎚️ has been low, between the ⭐ Stars, weather ☁️ and dealing with stress. Not a pretty picture watching my sister understand what I've been dealing with for 40 years. The old people's reality of aches and beyond. She's not used to having to take medicine and I have to help her manage them! Tell her what they are ( and what for) I'm happy to help of course but that's where I've been putting my energy pretty much 😻. Not to mention my crazy cat Maxy! Almost every night she goes into her room and tries to bat at the lampshade on her nightstand, it almost gets knocked over. I get her and play with the kitty stick ( it has a cloth fish 🐠 🐟 with a bell) I wave it around and she tries to get it. Tonight she grabbed the fish and ran off with the whole thing! Maxy brought it back to me ( like her kitty ball- she likes to play fetch and thinks she's a dog! I lock her in my room and when she gets bored of playing she Meows very loud until I let her out. Then she goes back to the lampshade again unless Sis has her light off. Sometimes MoJo and Maxy growl at someone walking by or the cars are making too much noise. The bass is usually up way too high and it's Loud. I gave them some catnip downstairs and a few kitty's treats so let's pray 🙏 they settle down for the night 🌉! I did make some changes to help me get back to my writing and hopefully get my 🥳 party started again! I took the last mini notebook 📓 ( they have 3 packs at the dollar store) I wrote on it this morning WDC weekly goals and the date 🌹 📅! Every week since last fall ( except when was sick) I posted my goals ( on Monday)and tried to get some done by Friday. Some weeks I succeeded, but otherwise spaced it out and it was when I looked at a previous goal,blog post or in my other book I'd be reminded of how many I made. A good therapist I saw for 7 years told me she thought I might have some ADHD on top of my chronic depression, and PTSD. Oye what a mess! I've learned how to do self-help and with no resources out here, what else is a lady to do?! 🤔 Figure it out the best I can! So I made more folders today 😁 and put more in them ( like Poems and haiku) Old blogs went in another! ( This one will be the next one to join them!) I have a gripe load of editing. One plan was to edit my class lessons from the characters emotions. I was hoping it would help me write my very complicated memoirs. A few people know I had a very dysfunctional family and childhood. Most folks can't believe I lived through it and are so normal and nice! The scars are there but learned how to heal and focus on helping others. I used to write so much in my journals and used it to see how far I've come. Now if I can only get it written down in a readable format. As I write this the weather man said make sure your phone is charged and floods are possible. It's been raining hard most of the day and will be into the night. Hopefully, we won't float away y'all 😜! We have laundry 🧺 again to do and food shopping 🛒. I hope everyone is doing good 👍 😊 and stays in touch!   |
| Wow did you miss me? I sure missed y'all! Most of my writing was keeping in touch with friends and family 💜😁 here and there. Good news my good friend MABs of 40+ years made it through the heart valve replacement 🐄🐮bless the cow. Another person is waiting for a triple bypass 🙏. Last Sunday my sis and I started out on our trip to Pensacola Florida, but we didn't make it. It was too bright for her to see the hwy. She tried again ( we had gotten off the exit with me navigating and pulled into a gas station.) I was a wreck trying to stay calm ( with no meds for my nerves in 2 years. Can you say true grit? Anyway she got back on the road and she was crestfallen in the reality that after driving 50 years ( in rain with no wipers and big log trucks zipping by. When she first started driving and picked up my 2 toddler daughters and me from an airport in Oregon. Later she drove for the US Forrest service, fighting fire and planting trees. Drive for Hertz rent a car and drove cross country a few times. ( As I'm writing this also adding to our list maple 🍁 syrup! She's making us French toast for breakfast!) So about our trip, she didn't want to risk our lives and we headed back home. We stopped at the new TJ Max ( a big deal around here! Hardly any places to shop like that.) As I come back to write here I'm upset over watching the News and the horror in Rafah... Netanyahu his ego, indifference to suffering and self-righteous attitude. He has nerve to call us Americans ignorant on Dr Phil's show. Those students have are standing up for humanity. I wish some would realize that not all Jews support him . I need to get grounded and clean out the kitties box. I saw some of the notes I took and shared in my last post. Oh that's right I was supposed to start on all that! I will try and post again this weekend. Wish me luck 🤞 and hugs to the lady who had eye surgery 😁 you know who you are! Be blessed y'all 🙏 🌹 😻🥁📚🌁🖊️📓 |
| Hi 🤗 I've been squeezing in writing while doing chores ( kitties 😻 wash-out litter box and stuff) Sometimes I mention a situation from my life and see if there's any interaction or interest. Again I saw someone was talking about faith and I jumped into the conversation ( if folks don't mind I could say who and where. I never assume it's okay until they say so! Because I thought about my own experiences with religion ☯️ and matters of faith, it brought to mind my days with the Children of God cult in the 1970s. I thought about how I could share that story. What brought me to join that day. What I was doing that year and the year before because if someone had told me that I would, I wouldn't have believed them or the events that led me down that road 🛣️... I started freewriting words on an envelope. People, places, and things. An outline is a story ( stories?) that emerges. I'm hesitant to proceed ( every time I've tried to write any of my memoirs, like the Tower card in the Tarot, things came crashing down.) In 2019 for example we had 90 days to pack and move. We had been renting a house for five years with help from the housing office which dealt with developmental disabilities. They never told us that our grandson became too well for the program or that it only lasted five years and suddenly my sister and I were on our own to get the four of us ( plus our dog and guinea pig moved that fast.) We did it but over the past four years, my writing hasn't been the same except for the past few months. I still find myself wondering if it's ok to jump in with both feet. The encouragement has been overwhelming to me and greatly appreciated 💗 🙏. My new blog will be public but only some will see my memoirs in fiction. I will make a passkey! This is from my list Thanks! C.O.G days Brooklyn New York City Job at Lemmings 1973 The village Gate Folk city Poor boy club ( cog) 3 months in hospital ( nut ward) Pentagram ( at head shop) Giving up everything to serve Jesus. Year and a half later found out what a scam it was in Chicago Park one day. A free day with " the shepherd" Taught me not to get fleeced. I'm adding this to here to keep track until it's an item! I may tag! (Later) Hopefully, The banana 🍌 bar is open for business! Gotta feed kitties 😻 😁! Bye till next time |
| My My y'all ❣️! Mercury leaps into direct tomorrow (Communication has been jammed by this planet, basically seeming to be moving backward, thus what retrograde means...) I keep making weekly goals and they keep falling 🍁 away. Yet some old and new 💡 ideas have made their stand in my brain and spirit. I've always had my own style and ways of looking at the world. Trying to create a way to bring people together rather than tear them apart. I spent the last 20 years doing websites, making videos, writing, and just trying to find my place in the universe! I'd drop in here and share some stuff. Get to know folks! Well coming attraction 😜 soon will be a New Blog and much more! I'm Bringing my " New Vision Club" to my awesome 😎 peeps here! I've been talking to some of my friends here and getting good feedback on questions about what folks like and are interested in! Without being pigeon-holed in one type of blog theme, as most of past blogs have been! My interests are in many things like: Animal welfare, Astrology, Tarot, The I Ching ( an ancient Chinese Oracle) Some folks are down on using these tools. I believe they are very helpful and help in personal growth. All things can bring good if used in the right spirit: to help others. I'm not into judging but trying to find common denominators with people. I've always felt and thought that if someone could find some benefits from what I've learned then that's great! That's what it's about and at the same time, that's how I've grown - listening to other people. I just started the item of the new version of the new vision club! I hope to add music 🎶 videos and things that were fun on places like Myspace back in the day! Last week I did the first Tarot reading in a year or so. Using my White Cat card deck. The last one that didn't get lost or stolen. I found a very cool 😎 site that shows the correlation of Kabbalah meaning with the Major Arcana. In short those are 20 of the most important cards in the deck. From The Fool #1 ( We start our journey as the young fool. He/she is pictured with one foot about to step over a cliff.) To the last card The World #20 There are various interpretations of the picture. Most shows the world 🌎 and symbols depicting completion. ( Of a journey perhaps?!) The first deck printed for this ( I will have to check I think it was the 14th or 17th century. Before that they used playing cards but not sure how or if they had the Major Arcana. Will report next post! Until then sorry if I didn't answer or say Hi to y'all that left comments. They mean so much to me 😍! It's Mercury's fault! By the way I'm a double Capricorn ♑ 🐐 ( sun and moon in it!) Virgo ♍ rising and will explain what it means if you don't already know! Till then have a blessed week 🌼! |
| Hi, y'all 🤠 it's been 8 days since my last hello 🤗! Mercury is the planet of communication and when it goes retrograde anything to do with it, has roadblocks and setbacks. Like you were planning to write something or someone and something else came up and maybe 🤔 you forget about it. The good news is it goes direct ( not backward !) On April 25th ( MoJo and Maxy will be 2 years old!) I got them a small kitty condo 🐈😺 and put it together this past weekend. They love another place to play and hang out 😜! I did my Tarot cards ( haven't in a long time) said a breakthrough was on the way and good time for creative pursuit Etc! I also found a site that shows the correlation of the Major Arcana and the Tree of Life in the Kabbalah. It was very interesting 🧐 and who knows maybe a topic to write about?! Both grandsons called over the weekend and was such a blessing to hear from them and knowing they are doing great! With all the troubles in the world and daily life, it's a blessing to know we are loved and cared about. Both have struggled with special needs challenges and I've given my all to help them grow and thrive. My good friend " MABs" of 50 years is in the hospital 🏥. I'm praying for her recovery 🙏 and healing. I ask my friends here to add prayers as well. I haven't prayed a Rosary in a long time but will today. It's not a " Jewish" thing but I've always been a horse of another color and don't find prejudices in prayers in all the faiths I committed to, over a lifetime. ⏳⌚ I also ask for prayers for myself in a personal matter. Trying to figure out my life. My writing plans and reviews have been on the back burner, so to speak 🙊. Am working towards getting back on track 🚉🚂 Soon. Before the retrograde was doing images and making new categories for folders. That went to 💩 poop. One of my dear friends here wasn't feeling well and you can pray 🙏 for her as well, please! Thanks for listening ( I've been fighting depression and stuff...) ugh at least not the awful pain of the past 2 years. Hugs 🤗 to y'all and to WS in Japan! Have been so enjoying his account of his trip. Till next time 😻! |
| It's grey and has been raining on and off here. Was nice to see the coverage from Mexico to Vermont as it made its way up and East through the country! It was awesome to see something positive happening with so many people coming together to see this with others. It was much longer than the last one in 2017. We watched it with the grandkids in the backyard. I don't remember too much of it. Today it was well done and the reporting on it was hopeful, how it brought people together vs how divided it many times is. If people could find the common ground with each other instead of our differences ( faith, color or whatever) this could be a better world ❤️🌍! A cousin of mine went to this and hope they had a great time with a good view! Hope Austin TX didn't have too much clouds like here! So face book decided I was ok in their book for community standards and gave me back my account. I've been downloading pictures ( some I have no backup copy's of). Some were uploaded from actual photos that don't exist. I've been sharing good things for 14 years on there. How to click Free to help animals, Veterans, and many others. They threatened me to delete my account and with it many family pictures and memories. I'm thankful it turned out well but for 2 weeks I was worried and super stressed out. So I'm trying something here! I like it when someone tags me! I was hesitant in case someone didn't, but it seems to be a good 😊 thing here! You may miss something if you don't see it sometimes 😉! Thanks tracker  ! For helping me out and being a friend 😺!And for comments! I used to keep to myself here until making friends over time 😉. It's a very nice feeling to be welcome somewhere and help each other grow as writers and souls 🙏🌹! I'm tired and have some things to do. Have a blessed day 😻 y'all 😁! |
| Didn't plan to write y'all but here I be! If you want to catch up please see my last post. I know many are busy with Easter and other things. So hopefully y'all had a good week. Update on last post: hoping uploaded ID and headshot on video for F--- book, will keep me from losing some pictures of family on it. I'm the only one who has copies ( when the tree destroyed our rental we lost them and just about everything...) On a bright 😎 note I came in 3rd in a contest this week! ( The last one was a few years ago. I came in 3rd.) I did it for Viv and she was doing it for the class I took. I took it off a few times because wasn't sure how people would react. I read a similar item last week by someone I've known since joined here. It gave me courage to share. I just wrote a song ( it's been years since) I don't have my guitar but hopefully by Christmas can replace. Last year my sister was going to get me one, but was in so much pain and depression that, didn't think I'd want to make music again. I'm tired most of the time but not in 10 or 8 pain levels. Sis hurt a nerve in her back and after a week of pain for her, she went to a good clinic here. We cleaned the car ( outside and in) , Walmart for a few things ( while the oil 🛢️ was being cleaned). WS is in Japan! Giving great descriptions and humor! He blogged it! NCIS is on and gotta feed kitties 😻 soon 😁! Haven't posted my song yet. Have a blessed weekend! |
| Hi, y'all 🤠 hey Tracker ☺️ ( I will learn tags here eventually 😄!) Whoa, where do I start? Every time I plan a post ( I had written one in my WDC notebook over the weekend) I shut off my phone Fri night ( trying to be spiritual in an Orthodox Jewish way for Sabbath). I kept it off till Monday ( I lost my faith but that's another story) Yesterday I was on face book ( I share helping animals, Vet's and other good causes - have for over 20 plus years.) A friend had posted about " why he's getting so many ads and phone notifications for just liking something and said he was just pointless ranting". I said it wasn't pointless but valid and how face book had changed since I first got on in 2007. That before that Myspace was a real community and people had to go to your page to post a good night meme etc. I also found out he was a Bass player and had a public group for it I said " back in the day I played guitar, blues harp, drums and some bass in NYC Folk city and around. (Forgot I used to sing improv with some old black jazz musicians at a club near there.) Nothing wrong there right? So after I finished my COMMENT on his post, said I was going to share the post and what I said. The next thing I know in SECOND S, my share was BLOCKED " because it went against F b policies and wasn't specific . It just removed it from my page WTF? I went back to comment on his post and told him what just happened. To be careful and something like "This isn't Russia or China, where's our freedom of speech? Meet the new boss Same as the old boss We won't be fooled again The Who ( It's a song)... Then it got UGLY My account is BLOCKED for 180 days ( 6 months). No access to my pictures with family or anything. I've been planning on slowly downloading them and in time deleting my account anyway but that's not the point. AI and God knows who controls anything else these days. I googled it last night why they could do this ( I see young girls show off their asses literally and have blocked them etc). On Reddit people have had the same problem and all they did was wish someone a happy birthday and never got a valid reason either. So I was planning on spending more time here with y'all anyway but that's super creepy to me... I have a kitchen to clean 🫧 So have a good day ☺️ till next time 😻🤔🎶😉 |
| Hi y'all This was my weekly goals post. It's not what I was planning for it but it's all I got gang! Prayers 🙏 welcome Thanks 😊 It's 7 PM, cleaned kitchen ( my sister cooks from scratch, tastes great but big mess!) Body not great but here I be. Been doing hours over days, helping her with ancestry research. My goal for writing is to attempt to post my blog. Over the weekend had many decisions to decide about life and family. Oh yeah, faith too. Didn't leave me much creativity so hopefully this week will be more productive with that! 😁 I'm praying 🙏 so y'all. I wanted to make images of Writing.com products and write a nice review. My WDC coffee cup is my companion most days! I'm so behind in my plans but not giving up. Have a blessed week 🌼 I'm exhausted! |
| Hi, y'all 🤠 glad you could make it again. I last wrote on Sunday the 10th. It feels like weeks since then and not trying to be funny 🤣. This may turn into a 2 part blog! I even took notes on conversations with all the people in my life this week. A lot of nice folks with their insights on life and more. One nurse inspired me to rethink leaving music 🎶 behind. It used to be a big part of my life ( not just listening but being a musician back in the day in New York. I always had a guitar until 2 years ago. My niece caused us to lose everything. My sister wanted to get me one for Christmas but I said no. This week is much better on my body, mind, and Spirit. Not out of the woods but close enough to breathe and think. I got 2 shots on Monday on both sides of my spine. ( Thus nurse conversation!) It's helping even though it was scary and hurt like bees struck me. She held my hand and it meant everything to me in those moments. The closest thing to dealing with images was, having to delete some Google photos (; still have "zillions" more. Running out of space and not paying for more! I have a lot of memories both awesome happy and not-so-happy. Still nice to see things like books and more that used to belong to me and us. Pet's and just life 🙏🌹 It's going to take a bit to gather what will be shared here. So am tired Had laundry Tuesday groceries ah you know the drill!!! Hugs 🤗 Hope to get another post out this weekend 😁🔜! |
