Great stuff, great shadow work today.
I also think I live with a very nice hardworking fellow who deserves much better than to have his situation be affected by his partner's PTSD which is also a part of the massive irresponsibility supremacy that certain people seem to need to pretend is good enough, forever, for everyone, when in fact it's probably not even good enough for them, even if they are the people who supposedly benefit from it the most on a daily basis.
Expect better for yourselves, too!
Isn’t it a wonderful time?
To have the most wonderful opportunity to address and clear and heal some things.
Breathe in...
Breathe out.
🐈⬛ What I LOVE this Oct. 31st morning is...
A soft pillow, a nice comforter, and water.
And I am sure we'll get a better mattress sometime in the near future.
Soon. ♥️🙏😇🎃🌻
You Might Be Able To Do That, Too.
Enjoy Your Screaming, Crying Inner Children's Destinies Today. Fun and Healing! Progress!
Embracing the Shadow again?
Some people really could cry more.
"We're sorry we were so flaky and aligned with so much unhelpful patriarchal nonsense and just not okay to be around when we got into 'I don't see abuse and inequity happening right under my nose' mode. We're SORRY!"
And their inner children burst into tears!
Waaaaah!
Jesus Christ. Good Grief.
Might be progess!
Even the "better-off" could be better
I have had the really "empirical" experience that I feel crippled by trauma.
My body's stress response is here, now.
Just because the systems are so bad at respecting trauma survivors, girls, and women.
I haven't been able to work for money since May, and then for some reason money stuff interfered with getting much better treatment (EMDR) for healing the trauma.
Meditations and time have helped, but it's not fast enough.
I need to pray to God / Higher Power for help with healing.
I also just cannot believe how some people who really should know better get so easily manipulated by capitalism into treating certain kinds of people way better or way worse just based on money.
It's like a real life horror story.

I am a beginner student.
I can change. I can get better at finding out how to move energy. More fun to move energy than it is to ruminate or be stuck. So, hah. Move the energy. It's good. Maybe it's the best for our heartaches...
Oh goody, change something.
I'm going to make some stuck energy move and that's what's gonna happen and that's what's gonna happen and it's already happening.
I could find more musical cat ladies, too.
I said I'd learn to play a musical instrument decades ago, and lo these many years later...nope! Wow. It takes dedication.
Yes, but...
Can "I am kinda fine with my version of mediocre" and "But I also kinda don't wanna die destitute" survive another pagan holiday.
Calmly, too. 🐈⬛
I can't believe I could have a personality who cannot wait to admit to being very stupid at times on this planet. Perhaps even the stupidest person I ever met. NOT a wise elder sibling in the least! Freedom! Terrible Choices Central! No wonder I live in this country at this moment in time! Now other people who are less competent than my cat could start doing it more often.

Remembered to look up EFT again
Even though I really disappointed myself when I relapsed and had distress and did that compulsive chewing on clothes thing and caused pain to those sensitive teeth and I know that I might need more healing and maybe more help than a certain kind of health insurance is oriented to give me at this time...
Tap tap tap tap...
Unexpected Encounter with a Very Fortunate Soul
He was having a lot of fun decorating his pediatrics clinic for Halloween. He told us he has a Model-T named Pancho Villa that he drives around on house calls.
Well, 50/50 is some progress
Oh, I had some really good, positive, gentle healing feelings or vibes around me this afternoon, I did, and that felt wonderful. And then I became distracted by some problems, and it was a less easy evening again.
So now I am going to try to heal bodily issues (my sensitive lower front teeth at the moment), and emotional or mental ones (an unfortunate compulsion to chew on clothes when frustrating circumstances occur...I was doing so well! Why the relapse? Oh well), and for the spiritual healing, I really must ask a higher power to help me with becoming a more healed person again. Can we maybe go more quickly with this now? My body might really appreciate that, too.
Even if there's a repetition of mistakes, and setbacks happen, couldn't we nevertheless also continue to get much better at healing?
Maybe I will need to ask for help from higher sources in the universe everyday for the rest of this life.
Dear Universe, help me to get better at choosing the most healing ways. Please, God. It seems clear to me that I am definitely one of those who can benefit from making more healing choices, and that doing so could help me to have a much better outlook on life on this planet.
Relief.
Well, my brain briefly thought of a great anecdote that would illustrate some of MY middle class reality, but now my body is otherwise occupied with pursuing a much more rewarding activity.
Maybe you CAN
work on restoring your own health on a much deeper level, and who knows, that might in the long run help lots of other people more. Just by doing that? Yeah. Just by doing that.
This is why sometimes Capitalism just makes me sad.
"There was that time when you expected me to treat a bunch of rich men with the best I could give them, and ignore everyone else, just because I am supposed to focus on who would give me money."
"And then, to 'honor women,' your top choice is so-and-so's rich wife, like she's more important than people who literally feed me. And you. And her. Because? Her house isn't big enough or something?"
It was the Autumn of Inflation
It began to seem as though paying more, not less, attention to people's health and well-being was appropriate sometimes.
"It's because I love ART"
Women who feel the need to treat men better than they treat women on a regular basis have things to say.

Saturday was Love Nature Day
Dear God, now it is Sunday morning and it feels like both women and men were fooled into adopting so patriarchal customs that are just dreadful for so many human beings in our society and somehow I just need to not die yet. If that was Your Will, I cannot be impressed. But I bet it was just mostly fearful patriarchal people's doing. And now I will treat this temporary Sunday morning despair with a meditation. Okay???

But sometimes, it's just really annoying that some people can be born to SO many materialistic advantages, and yet still be content with being SO underdeveloped, spiritually?
Maybe it's because I had SOME of those advantages, too, and I was definitely made aware that there was still a lot more to be sought out in this life...SIGH!
My SIGH just felt like a bar of the music in the Psycho shower scene to me. Eeesh.
Well, nevermind...nevermind...plenty of my own health problems to attend to at the moment...nevermind...

Might even be more fun, actually.
I do still feel as though there are some people on this planet who could be much, much, much MUCH less imbalanced and needlessly cruel in their outward behaviors than they trained themselves to be, in order to "fit in." Because why not? Really. Why NOT?

"That being said, if there were a lot more blue-eyed farmworkers in this country, it would probably change some people's minds."

Why don't you ask some of your parents how many situations and circumstances they've needed to ignore in order to feel better?
I get that it's disturbing to think about it.
I sometimes still can't believe they expect me to act like they're worth more just because of those things.
Aren't some of you from religious backgrounds?
You probably know are not worth more as a human being to God just because you are being all the time encouraged to repeat certain patterns when you have inherited more money and seem to come from people who regularly act like they are almost allergic to caring about anyone who is not of a certain background or socio-economic status?
Fill in a blank or maybe just pray?
Some of your dads especially seem to surround themselves with both men and women who truly act like the absolute last kinds of humans whose experiences they will ever care about on this planet are ....
Survival or something else?
Some of you have people around you who will flat out say that they will be mediocre on purpose in order to fit in. It is alarming because it looks and feels like the supposedly safe mediocrity is more harmful to people they no longer want to think about. That's simply not sustainable. It's not even very kind for them, either. They just adapted and changed themselves because they were around certain kinds of people who also trained themselves not to care.
This is oatmeal. But it's good for you.
You need to be more compassionate and caring in regards to people of different backgrounds and classes and statuses than a lot of what was role-modeled for you.
Kids...some mornings are hard in 2022.
It seems I am depressed that a lot of your mom's egos and dad's egos don't care about women's well-being enough.
Because it seems like they were brainwashed by the patriarchy into not caring about certain kinds of people.
I experienced the patriarchy's lack of caring in particular ways in recent years, and now the $ situation is getting worse...
I do thank God for my kind husband, so I am not homeless, but it feels like I still can't feel well enough to work, and so I need healing and help from the universe.
I had a dream about going to an area of natural beauty, and it sort of was about camping with mostly women and later some men and it was mostly a very pleasant dream.
It seems like I need some of you to know that life has not set up some women to act like they care more about their houses or handbags than they do about what's happening to other human beings.
I am already feeling a tiny bit less despair. This year has been very difficult...

Love and a little stiry? Story.
I remembered there was a man who once said to his son "If it weren't for you and your mom, I'd have eaten the end of my gun a long time ago," and for some reason when I remembered that I just felt love for how he got honest with them. Also, I am happy he didn't eat it.
Be kinder & more honest?
A major reason that some people were a whole lot more disrespectful of women and girls in this lifetime than they needed to be was because the patriarchal systems rewarded them for that stuff.
They had low self-esteem drummed into them, and they routinely put themselves down and did whatever they could to fit into patriarchal systems and there's something about it that looks quite desperate, honestly.
Be kinder and kinder...
I survived a lot of physical pain a few hours ago because my body was cramping up again...
It's much better now, but since it's still around, I will be making my way towards turmeric in almond milk, ginger tea, electrolyte water...my heating pad...and all the healing things...
It surely helped to be able to stroke a kind man's hand earlier....

God is Great.
God could also send them to rehab. People who got sucked into "I must be a jerk to people in order to entertain the masses" mentality. Rehab! It could happen!
Bet there's still some good in The Universe?
Somewhere on this planet, someone sexist began to reform and thought they'd like to become the kind of parent who'd be just as good to a daughter as they'd be to a son.
Because it wasn't "Them Too," actually.
How come their movie's still like that?
"Incel pleasers who don't care how many 'other types of people' get abused by the system are stuck in the cycle of catering to sexist people in exchange for short little dopamine moments. "
"ME TOO. I TREAT PEOPLE VERY BADLY IN ORDER TO BE IN THAT RARE POSITION WHERE PATRIARCHAL WHITE SUPREMACY WILL ACT LIKE I DESERVE A BIG HOUSE AND BETTER HEALTH INSURANCE THAN THE MASSES . BRING ON THE EGOMANICAL DUDES AND BRAINWASHED WOMEN WHO CARE MORE ABOUT MONEY THAN ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS or HUMAN BEINGS."
Why not do other things in this lifetime?
Sometimes wonder if a calm man should just talk to certain people for me
Since I live in a post Roe v Wade America where there are still many people who clearly just do NOT have the inclination to care about the huge amount of damage that has been done by the S.C., or by the patriarchy's rampant mistreatment of a lot of single parents and their kids...well, I think a calm man is not as mad about it as I am, and also I think he probably has way lower expectations of certain patriarchal people's ingrained, comfy-to-them habits (including sexism and racism) changing anytime soon. To be honest, that might be the case.
But on the other hand, maybe he has better things to do with his time?
PROBABLY!
So, sorry for that dumb idea.
Still really prefer to stay far away from ones who so obviously treat the experiences of girls and women like they're of a lower value than the POVs of sexist rich PATRIARCHAL PEOPLE. I actually also really don't enjoy their "if you were, right now, a dude who acted like a jerk, I would also totally cater to YOUR miserable ego" vibes.

"Yes, it's true. Most of the people I hang around would definitely treat you better if (a) you were a man (b) you were much more sympathetic to the patriarchal people's needs (c) and the patriarchal systems, and (d) incels.
Because patriarchal people with incel-orientations have feelings, too, you know."
Really, consider other models.
I don't understand why "success" means "treating certain people very poorly" unless it's because you just treat a part of yourself very poorly, too, and so then that spills over onto "certain others" more than it does onto "other others."

So-and-so's shoe-worshipping friends also really cared, deep down inside, albeit in that quiet way, where they mostly looked around to see what anyone else in their peer group was doing, to see whether or not they should act like anything was of any importance today.
Because Shoes Were SO Beautiful.
In that era, lots of parents taught their kids that various highly paid athletes were gods who mattered more than any woman of any background. And that was because of who the patriarchy hired to sell the best shoes to the masses. (But not who they expected to stitch them or actually make them).
Really?
Do you honestly think you can't do any better? That you can't stop being needlessly dehumanizing to people who are on this continent right now just because you came from a long line of patriarchal people who taught you that "It's just got to be this way?"
You know other people who used to "care" before the patriarchy corrupted them?

What would happen if the patriarchal women stopped catering to the patriarchal men who cater to the sexist people who cater to the patriarchy, as if almost all of them grew up in some kind of massively dysfunctional organization riddled with unhealthy patriarchal standards and genocidal practices and inequality and lies and domestic violence and child abuse and degradation of women and human rights.

Men who made themselves become a part of the hurtful patriarchal system just to prove their worth in a damaged patriarchal society and the women who were trained to coddle them at the expense of so many others seem a million miles away from some people I met today who expressed just nice, ordinary human kindness.

The woman in the dream flat out told me "Your insurance doesn't matter for this."

Dear Higher Healing Energies
Please help this body. It's that time of month where it's prone to pain. And a morning can be challenging under those circumstances. But the good thing is, I know and believe help is available. And I also know and believe I have means and tools to help me find more healing in this lifetime.

Part I & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5
Part I: In the morning, had a BIG dream that I was a very nice & handsome boy with a loving mother. It was actually such a pleasant dream! So, why did I then wake up from it feeling sick and have to do so much to bring myself back into my body and curse the universe for such a triggering dream and drink multiple teas and waters and take a shower and rub epsom salt all over my skin to feel more grounded...
Part II:

Could it honestly serve me to be so repetitive?
Get more of a foothold in a patriarchal society by propping up some insecure men and ignoring the people who feed me? Hmmm.
Sometimes they don't like that.
How just one nice person can really raise the bar and expectations for the others.
Insecure Dads Ain't Budging Easily
Of course, after she learned how to fit in with a bunch of insecure dudes who were always putting people down, she looks like she'd join the...nevermind. At any rate, there are many girls and women laboring, but she's apparently not got any time or room in her head or her heart for those sorts of people. She has another exhausting task to deal with on a daily basis.
It wasn't always that way, was it?
It's not inspiring when you act like a jerk to others because you get coddled for doing so, or because that's what you were taught by colonizers to do in order to get ahead in life.
They were so nice when they were young.
Does Spouse A have to be a jerk just because Spouse B gets rewarded?
The not-so-inspiring side appearing again
Colonizers in patriarchal societies will dole out the rewards and praise for women who are invested in putting the well-being of women and girls dead last.
The nice women who make excuses for them and conveniently unsee the not so patriarchal ones is exactly who Insecure Patriarchs rely on to make stuff easier for them.
It helps them keep their distance from, say, the teenage girls who have to fend off sexual harassment in strawberry-fields-forever...
You're here to learn
You can learn that you want to love yourself more, and to be able to be good to yourself.
You can learn that being good to yourself helps you to heal and become more helpful to others.
You can learn that if you accidentally triggered pain in another, you're capable of wanting to help repair the damage.
You can learn that you're more spiritual than you let on.

I need positive change
I need to treat my body much better, and with more wisdom and compassion, so I am asking higher powers to send me even more good healing and forgiveness and knowledge to help me release the old patterns that are harmful and put good healing programs in their place. Thank you.
Thank U.
Glad to be Getting Better at Gratitude Again Tonight.
Grateful about remembering it can be very healing to appreciate any kind of progress.
Thank U.
Back to the positive mindset!
It really is possible for people on Earth to be happy and work in a way that feels healthy & balanced.
It can happen!

Beginner Mode (without any early childhood or other kinds of traumatic memories to deal with)
1) Imagine adulthood being a lifetime of bosses both male and female treating you way worse just because you're in a female body, and being expected to accept that's JUST NORMAL.
2) Getting kicked in the GROIN multiple times a day every month and fed weird drugs that make you feel really out of it and barely functioning & somehow unable to get ahead (boo-hoo, stress hormones genetics simulator!)
3) "HOW DOES IT FEEL"
Dylan - "Like a Rolling Stone"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syNLBJ_Lq9E
4) "i DON'T KNOW"
Fleet Foxes - Tiger Mountain Peasant Song
That was a good feeling, too+
There was a human who recently told me she was able to stand up for herself in a workplace situation, and moreover she insisted that another human also be treated much better, and the message was communicated successfully, and when I heard about that, I felt so pleased.
Hmmm, but those could also be considered delicacies

https://fortune.com/2022/10/22/economy-inflation-changing-shoppers-tastes-spam-fish-heads/
An idea for a boost of much needed self-esteem
Think of all the days you were not acting like an honorary incel, and keep those positive times in mind, and know you can be more like that, or even better, a lot more often in the future!
What a weird personal ad idea
"In need of new friends: Any woman who is close to acting like an honorary incel, because naturally the patriarchy would never have rewarded her for caring about any females of the wrong class who provided her with calories in this lifetime."
That's also rather less than it could be.
Women who feel entitled by their connections with selfish men to make things worse for "the kinds of women they simply weren't trained to care about or think about in any meaningful way."
Scary!
Imagine if your family member hadn't benefited so much from aligning himself with an abusive system for so long that he hadn't actually stopped bothering to care when his decisions hurt real human people.
I want better brothers and sisters
Like, maybe ones who seem to actually care about what's happening out there!
When you surround yourself, once again, with too many who only cater to a very small group of people, what's the reason for that?
Why don't you try finding other kinds of people to hang out with?
Before you find yourself in a much different situation next time around.
Don't you ever wish it was better?
Really, do you just need to keep repeating the same old patterns in order to stay afloat in a Very Temporary Narcissistic Bubble? Because that's very depressing to witness.
If that's what you chose as your version of "success" in this life, don't you have better ways of coping with reality? Can't you think of better ways to use your time?
Sometimes it really seems like someone like Trump has far more in common with Hollywood Narcissists than he does with any other type of people. Why is so much of Hollywood just the worst about dehumanizing people? And about finding ways of getting rewarded for doing that.
What if they changed the name and called it the Built By Incels Industry? Sick, sexist, and full of people who just lie, lie, lie to themselves and to others all the time, as a survival technique.
There are growing numbers of unhoused people in this country and around the world right now who find it easier to show more care and sensitivity and generosity to fellow human beings. I am not saying poor people are saints. But they don't have the same bubbles around them.
And let's not forget how great it is to encounter actual & genuine curiosity about how others are doing.
That's always nice!
You can get pressured by dudes to make the coffee again, ask!
Thank you for attending another "What if your boss had treated you worse simply because you were born into a different body" meeting.

And maybe they didn't do ev3n that.
Also, even if your parents rewarded you over and over for acting like a greedy, self-centric monster, is that really an excuse? You're an adult now, and you can make better choices.
And maybe they didn't even do that.
Maybe you're just prone to acting like that sometimes because you're coping with some people's incel-centric cultural values, which you thought you had to go along with in order to feel better in life.

So maybe if a rich and famous man auctions off a handbag to feed some kids at a food bank, he'll get at least 10,000 more compliments than what any of the many nameless Indigenous persons ever got for picking whatever calories went into that act of generousity.
Why not be more spiritual?
Sometimes I really do think that the not-born-but-made Narcissists should fervently pray to a Higher Power that whatever groups they fakely indentured themselves to in this lifetime get much, much, much better at more swiftly healing their own pains.
Really, tho????

I Thank You For Healing Opportunities!
My body can be my barometer. I just want to be much better at caring and listening to messages. It can be so daunting sometimes. I am really needing to get better at it, but since I know others have skills in areas I need more assistance with, I believe I can get better at it, and there's some kind of saying out there about how healing yourself is what can help bring more healing into the world. I believe people deserve more healing.
Thank You, Universe, For The Healing Opportunities!
😇 Anyway, do feel free 💸
To bring home those boyfriends, girlfriends, platonic friends, or whatever friends who treat you AND the rest of humanity oodles and oodles BETTER than whatever The Unhealthy Patriarchy role-modeled for the previous generations.
Because, why not?
And if you must know, those brainwashed "members of a patriarchal clique" vibes were not so much co-sisterly or agape-brotherly as they were red flags.
But, I suppose that one must consider it was the early 2020s...
Certain Rich Ones who often catered to the incels (and to be fair, they were trained from a Very Early Age to do so) still Didn't Want to Talk About That very much.
However, it's entirely possible that Certain Rich Ones of The Future could one day be throwing "The day my people stopped catering to the incels because they actually realized they had better things to do with their time on this planet" parties!
That's kinda neat to think about on a Saturday morning.

Hmmm...it's complicated.
It's so early for a Saturday, Universe!
I mean, if the Universe, in all it's weirdness, happened to set it up so a human being could say "Gosh, definitely hope your two favorite patriarchal cult leaders of the '20s heal from their patriarchy-inflicted wounds and nose injuries real soon," is she supposed to just ignore that?

Well. I guess, sometimes I think that maybe if they catered to the incels less, even though that's what they were trained by the patriarchal systems to do, they'd actually benefit. That's right. It could actually BEHOOVE them to CHANGE.
Ack...Go back to sleep....
There once were some insecure, insensitive, sexist people, who really had no good reason, I mean none whatsoever, to continue being lousy to other human beings, except for somehow, their strange desire to fit into a patriarchal culture had affected their thought processes and behavioral patterns in strange ways...

Inflation Crabbiness Rearing Up Again
Gee, sometimes I feel like it's hard to be cozy with people who are so immature, they just laugh in the face of hungry kids and single parents. Some people in this world have already started helping out ALOT with child-rearing at very young ages. Some older siblings have to take of kids and clearly are expected to be MUCH better at it than a lot of extraordinarily selfish people. Some of them even are parents, WITH TUNNEL VISION, BUT TONS OF GREED. HUH.
AND PATRIARCHAL STANDARDS AREN'T EVEN GREAT AT PREVENTING UNWANTED KIDS FROM BEING BORN INTO POVERTY-STRICKEN HOUSEHOLDS, THANKS TO OUR BRAINWASHED SUPREME COURT.

MAYBE SOME OF THAT IS WHY I AM NEEDING TO TAKE SOME TIME OUT TO FIGURE HOW TO PICK A MUCH BETTER AND WAY LESS TOXIC WORK ENVIRONMENT NEXT TIME AROUND AS I HEAL FROM SOME OF THE ACCUMULATED EFFECTS OF TRAUMATIC PATRIARCHAL PATTERNS. AND I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE.
Such a work in progress 🌻
At the moment, I am believing that it is probably the best for our physical and emotional and energetic selves, which really do deserve wonderful healing experiences, to ask the universe to help us find out what we can do to get to those more healing places.

I confess to feeling like this sometimes:
"Sometimes, something tells me it's just not a great idea to encourage any humans between ages zero and one-hundred and fifty to make excuses for people who turned themselves into narcissistic predators in order to survive in very imbalanced systems. Just because that was your survival mechanism and it worked out for you in the short term, for a little while, doesn't mean it's gonna be a healthy life hack for others."

"But even as the United States works to get Ukrainian grain past Russia’s blockade, Americans often take their own food supply for granted. This was also the case in World War II, when the United States ensured that the Allies never had to worry about food in the same way the Axis did. And this bounty of food—a pillar of U.S. strength and resilience—is in turn thanks to some unsung American heroes: farmworkers."

Being even a little bit more balanced can help people appreciate progress. Need not be about perfection, but going towards a better direction. That is 😊
I feel 💗 gratitude
Because it's wonderful to believe that true healing can happen and does happen on this planet. Like knowing that 80% better deserves gratitude. And there are bubbles of light energy. And being able to knit or mend is a gift. Everyday, somewhere on Earth, healing is happening & gratitude is happening, too.

Tonight, if only for a moment, it really seems like this: Just because YOU could get along with the patriarchal patterns in certain ways in this lifetime, that does NOT mean that it will be the same for others, including (if you have them) your descendants.
Why did I just think about that? Well, for one thing, I live with a nice man who expressed his horror at two stories about gynecologists doing horrible things. "I thought it was two stories about the same person but they're two different people!"

"Several days ago, memory served me: She made a guy come up and ask me 'Do you know who sings this?' when I was working another dreary restaurant shift, and that was something different to celebrate."
"I am impressed you told me a good memory about that place."

Blessings to beings
Me, my phone which can be a tool that shares helpful things, and a man at the park with a shopping cart of stuff and a happy dog and a blanket and a plastic jug of water. Living a life on Earth in these times...

Goodbye, man with the dog and shopping cart. (He left.)
Goodbye, middle class dog walkers (it's time for me to go now).

Hello heavenly reminders
I believe that I am at least starting to get better at understanding that it's vital for me to make more truly healing changes. At this time, in this body, in these circumstances, it feels like I need to change certain patterns for the better. Sometimes I don't know why we (Earth people) have a hard time changing & going in a more healing direction, but I just know that my health wants & needs me to get much better at it. I know I need to change for all kinds of reasons and as much healing from the universe as I can accept with grace & gratitude will probably really help me. It's a big deal to change such a pattern. It's truly something that I need higher sources to help me do. But thank you for the opportunity. And the ones who are on Earth who have experienced how it feels to accept healing from higher sources and can teach me how to get better at accepting that help...Thank you for that help, too.
Dear God, do you believe "Love is the answer"?

Blessings. Healing opportunities.
People can believe in good things. Blessings. God can feel good, like real love. Love can feel good. Healing can feel good. It can be so scary to know you and your body really need so much healing, but you can ask higher powers to help you find the ways to remember and know how to accept real healing and blessings.
This Sunday, I am thanking myself for loving myself enough to become better and I am asking wounded parts of myself which also show up as physical symptoms to please help me and can we please forgive ourselves for how long or how deep or how much it has been. Also ask higher power for assistance to help us find all the energies, people, spaces and sources and resouces who feel blessed to help us with our healing.
Wow it's feeling like a lot so I want to accept myself for needing time to process and also get back to learning how to be in touch with healing blessings. Thank You.

Some people are even fleeing certain states and changing where they go to college...well, some on the planet just need to separate from those oppressive patriarchal energies sooner than others...because, it's your body...it's your life. When you really gotta get on a new way of doing things for your life and yourself and your health, you know it.
