Fair
"How is that fair?" That's a question I have heard many times throughout my life. "That's unfair, how is that fair, why is that fair?" Depending on the situation and my mood my responses vary from "It's not, I don't know," all the way to" that's life, or life isn't fair." Now the real question is "what IS fair?" What do you consider fair. I find this changes from one person to the next. Each one having different ideas of what fair is. Some want everything to be equal across t

Just Show Up - Finale!
Hello there. Since I didn’t finish this post the other day and Alice is desperately trying to get her house in order before her surgery, I offered to finish my post to substitute for her. Never fear, she will be online again. Now…About the rest of the story: At age 55 I was “retired” as part of a large layoff and reorganization. After over 30 years of being the best I could (fairly successfully, I might add) I was told there was not a place for me in the new organization.

Just Show Up
After showing up for Alice with my walking cast and accompanying her on her first time driving in the rain, even though I probably could have made it home without getting wet. One of the first things I learned when I joined Alcoholics Anonymous that a key point in recovery is to not only learn how to get sober and stay sober, but in order to do so, it is also important to carry the message to others suffering from alcoholism. I remember in my first 30 days of sobriety my sp

Surrender
This is Jen. My day job is in a library in a rural area. As such, I see a lot of Christian books cross my desk. Some of those books are about surrendering to your faith. As someone who is not religiously inclined, these kinds of books baffle me. Until today when I checked in yet another book about surrendering to God and something in my head clicked. I’ve done this. Surrendering. Not to the Christian God, or any other god for that matter. I was raised without religion, so

How I Interpret the Unseen
Dreams/Visions like everything else in this world come in different shapes, forms and sizes from my experience and research. I have always had dreams and visions before I even understood what was going on. Due to my natural niche for pattern recognition it wasn’t hard for me to decipher in comparison to the majority. I believe this was due to the environment I was raised in and my natural deeply ingrained skepticism. I never believed much at face value besides my parents whic

Soulmates - Soul Connections
Alice wrote an excellent blog last week about Soul Ties and what they mean to her. She and I have had several discussions around this topic over the last two years, so I thought I should share my thoughts with you as well. As with everything associated with human beings, every one of us is different, has had different experiences and drawn individual conclusions throughout our life journeys. As with all healing, physical, emotional, spiritual, etc. each person’s experience

Leaving Bread Crumbs
“Always leave a paper trail” are some of the words of wisdom that I have come across in my life. At the time is was pertaining to court and battling with the system, but it stretches across my entire timeline. How I apply it today, and why? Today, it’s simple. I have read many books, researched many topics, that came from something I learned from dreams in the astral plane or visions then started researching them in the material world. I know some of you don’t understand this

Rest and Relaxation…Destruction?
The saga continues…Even after my 4-hour nap on Thursday, I slept the night and more on Friday, In fact, I laid down for a nap that morning and woke up shortly before 2 pm. Oops, Mr. Jones was supposed to be at the Vet at 2:00. I called them and they said I could come at 3:00. Quick shower, dressed and outdoor with the cat. Made it by three. Mr. Jones was due for his distemper immunization. When we got home, we both sat down to rest. As typical for Mr. Jones (and I suppo

Threads Between Worlds
As of recent I had a reader reach out to ask me to elaborate on “Soul Ties”. This reader was inspired to learn more by reading one of my old posts “Squirrels”. This absolutely excites me. I love research, I love talking about these things, and I love being able to share parts of who I am and what I have experienced especially if it helps one to better understand another’s point of view. I am always excited to listen to others and their experiences because there is always more

Back to Reality
Sunrise in Cancun the day we left OK. It was a wonderful vacation and I took full advantage of the time away to rest, relax and recharge. We’re talking pool, beach, daily naps, massage, snorkeling and sightseeing with a good friend. Before I left, my physical therapist had told me the best thing I could do for my recovery is to walk. And, I walked. Just getting around the resort required a lot of walking in addition to the sightseeing we did. Part way through the week,

Did I Deserve to be Hit?
Content warning: contains graphic descriptions of physical assault and trauma. Readers may find this material disturbing. Please read with care. Editor's note: The audio reading of this blog was done by me, Jen from Media, as Alice was unable to do so. Trauma is a bitch, and we have to take care of each other when we can. Did I deserve to be hit? I have learned over the years it is ALWAYS a matter of perspective. Who you’re talking to. What their background is. What their be

The Balance
Life is an interesting thing. It comes with heartache, mental and physical strain, pain, etc, but with it also comes joy, love, happiness. The many twists and turns that life takes you down on its path builds you, shapes you, changes who you are, and in many cases those around you. The effects ripple out like a stone cast into water. Most people tell you that you need to be only happy, be joyful, look at the bright side of life, and yes, this is true, you should look to enjoy
