Good things can help your body get better.

Yawning, stretching, breathing.

Either way, you're going to need to focus more on your health...

Is it true that some materialistic people got trained to act like disrespectful, clueless bullies who are too self-absorbed to care about what's going on with others, or is that their own nervous systems got dysregulated at an early age, and their ways of dealing with stress just do not feel like a healthy situation for your own body?

Go back to sleep...

The "You're going to need to get a lot better at taking care of your health" phenomenon is real.

Another reason my cat is a blessing because she loves rags! If a bunch of t-shirts that became raggedy from being chewed on get piled onto the furniture, she cozily naps on them and loves them!

Your health can change your plans, for real.

I know appreciating nature today was good for me. But now I need to pay more attention to how to heal...the body sends signals about needing more care and more healing...Once again needing to learn more about how to get better and more healed and healthy.

This is April!



Expectations raised!

I'm glad I live with a guy who's nice.

I'm glad I don't live with a person who's super materialistic or who bullies women just because apparently that's what patriarchal culture taught some people to do in order to go along with certain systems and get more for themselves, and realizing this can be quite sobering indeed.

Mejorando...

I think I can help my body feel better, thanks be to the good and beautiful healing energy in this universe.

Dear belief systems...

People deserve a lot better than fawning over the ones that got treated better by patriarchal culture and treating the other kinds of people as "less than" and replicating those same old patterns over and over again.

I have to find a lullaby to sing myself about this one.

I honestly need to release the parts that got traumatized by not only patriarchal men but patriarchal women who got trained to be materialistic bullies who act flaky and untrustworthy and worse to girls and women and people who think such behavior is normal. I don't know, maybe something happens in some people's brains when they change their last names. 😔

I feel sorry for my body. It needs to feel calmer and not feel so icky.

I already hope I feel better very soon.

This body needs a lot more rest.

I woke up not feeling well and I need to go to back sleep again.

The sensitivity to stress is much to deal with.

Help me get better at learning how to heal, please.

Patriarchy.

I want to get better at learning when I am here to learn.

There's a lot of things that this body does not let me go along with in this lifetime. Even if it's okay for other people and other bodies to do it, for some reason mine's different. Instead of feeling bad about that, I want to learn how to respect what I have inherited and get better at learning what I am here to learn.

Accept some healing and good energy for yourself and your body 😊🙏🏼🕊️

Sometimes, it's like some people are sleeping and they don't want to wake up yet. And it's not possible for you to be in the same place or mindset they're in. And what you have to do is meet whatever place you're in, and ask the universe for help with the healing your body is telling you that you need now. You're here to learn that you deserve to be able to accept good healing for yourself, too.

Surely there could be energies in the universe that are helpful for someone who wants to learn how to get better.

You still deserve to feel good even if you're wired differently and felt sensitive even if you felt like you needed to get angry to defend yourself. But the anger will burn out, and then you will need to learn how to really take much better care of yourself. It's time to be good and kind and nice to the sensitive and vulnerable parts, both the physical and the emotional ones.

I'm going to get better at listening to what I need to do for my.

Now I have to take really good care of my body Because pain has come into my body. And I want to take care of that because I don't enjoy pain.

I am also beginning to feel that it's important to acknowledge that part of taking really good care of my body is I have to move on from some things. 

There's some people who behave in ways that seem insensitive, and perhaps bullying and perhaps immature. 

And sometimes that can really hurt. 

And the angry response can make a body tired. And then you just have to realize people have their own responses for their own reasons. And sometimes you have to move on and let them learn whatever it is they need to learn, and in the meanwhile you also need to learn how to be nicer and better to yourself and your body and to your health. 

Sometimes people unconsciously imitate patterns that got role modeled for them and maybe they figured out ways to think that this is what works for them, or what will protect them, etc. But it doesn't look healthy enough for you and your body to go along with those ways. So you have to acknowledge that your body is telling you to choose a different way.

Maybe I found some happy news!?

It's buried under ads; I'll see if I can get to it.

"Pasadena Unified, County, State Offices Closed, But City of Pasadena Open for Cesar Chavez Day"

Ahhh...that could really be true, too.

Maybe you also deserve a much better life!

How did some people get so weird?

"Maybe this year when we commemorate the life of César Chávez on March 31, we might take some time to add a bit of realism to what we’re talking about in terms of food on our tables and farm laborers’ livelihood. We are the ones, not the farmworkers, who benefit from their labor. They sustain our lives, while barely supporting their own families.

I could quote the Scriptures or cite learned writings and eloquent speeches of our political leaders of the past (and some of the present), but we all know them already. They are not unknown or strange to us. The problem is that we let our less-than-noble instincts get the better of us and continue to abuse the people who support our lives."

~ Jim Harrington 

"What would César Chávez say..."

You would like to eat food on a holiday?

"No one seriously doubts that the agriculture industry would crash were it not for the tens of thousands of immigrants working long days in the hot sun, bent over, and climbing rickety ladders to harvest the food we buy for our tables.

Were that crash to happen, it would take a millisecond to reverse and rearrange our laws to ensure that we had enough food to eat and at a reasonable price.

There is a double whammy at play here. Not only is the current war on immigrant farmworkers irrational, but it is also a mechanism for agribusiness to doubly exploit workers and suppress their wages even more. People living in constant fear of being deported are willing to work for even less to support their kids. That is not fair or just."

Who deserves better? Them too.

Just because you have met some immature, unwell people who got taught that treating "x types of people" as "less than" is what constitutes "normal behavior" doesn't mean that you're also supposed to go along with their programming.

Society suffers.

People who normalized treating girls and women as "less than" to fit into their family systems suffer.

What if some people got healthier?

People who did not have to suffer as much from the brutal effects and abusive actions of the patriarchal people who devalued girls and women and acted like men and  money and property are what's most important may be fortunate in some ways, but still, some of them could be so much better to themselves and to others.

I guess simplifying things is important.

How are you going to thank all those children and parents whose labor made the generosity of a few possible?

Why does Google only think the richest guys are "generous people" in March 2025?

 Uh, WOE or WOW?



What happens when you type "generous people" in the search bar...is interesting.

Fantastic to be reminded of that in this lifetime.

Even those people who got warped by the patriarchal systems to be a whole lot worse to girls and women than they actually needed to be in this lifetime could still change for the better before they die.

Enjoyed some potatoes and lettuce and carrots today!

"Farmers feed the world. Roughly 85% of the nation's fresh fruits and vegetables are handpicked by an estimated 2.5–3 million men, women, and children working in U.S. fields.

Farm work is dangerous. Farmworkers suffer the highest rate of toxic chemical injuries and face greater risks of heat stress, dermatitis, UTIs, parasitic infections, and tuberculosis than other workers.

Farmworkers are denied equal protection. The Fair Labor Standards Act mandates minimum wage only for large farms—and still ignores overtime."

Oh, well. At least that's good.

At least there are lots of middle class people who can still afford to do middle class people stuff. Maybe not as many as there used to be, but...

Maybe they can watch 'White Louts' at a friend's house?

"Many of us live in cramped apartments, sometimes with multiple families sharing small spaces just to make ends meet. Many families are forced to rent living rooms just to have a place to stay.

I pay $2,500 for a small studio for my family of four. There’s no privacy, no space to relax or even enjoy a meal together without feeling cramped.

Between rent, utilities, car payments, phone bills, and basic necessities, the financial strain is overwhelming."

"White Lotus" is on again tonight!

People who have less money and fewer possessions are not put on Earth to be treated like garbage on account of the greediness and cowardice of others.

I don't think the "greed is great and girls are garbage" cult mentality is good enough for humanity.

Going along with greediness and dehumanizing others so you can fit in with the "normal" people is good enough?

Indulging in bullying behaviors as a way to deal with problems in life is good enough? 

How do you get enough energy to go about your day in the 21st century?

Well, I guess they have their reasons for acting like greedy, entitled, disrespectful bullies.

What are those reasons?

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/vance-and-wife-to-tour-u-s-military-base-in-greenland-after-diplomatic-spat-over-uninvited-visit

People have reasons for making the choices they make.

However, just because some people got convinced that going along with some other untrustworthy, greedy, immature people would bring them more materialistic gains or financial prosperity does not also make it a viable choice for you, and the violence of some people has also made that very clear.

Bizarre stuff.

There are some people who got convinced by an unwell, imbalanced patriarchal society that acting like uncaring materialistic bullies is still what feels best or like it's the most "normal" to them. They seem to need to rely on being blatantly prejudiced and disrespectful to other kinds of people in order to feel better about themselves.

They also seem to think that everyone else should also go along whatever a violent patriarchal society says, to the point where they would tell others to expose themselves to needless danger.

They are not okay.

Do what you can!

Pet a cat, and love something about nature! 

Next, make some tea.

Well, that's another thing to consider.

The unwell patriarchy wants to trick people into feeling entitled to behave like bad actors, as if that's the best they can possibly do for themselves, but how could such a way of life last forever for anybody?

No, not good, actually.

The "Greed is good and girls are garbage" mentality that some mean people seem to carry around with them is some real unhealthy cult-like stuff that some people got materialistically rewarded for going along with.

How does a human being know how to have a good life?

Possessions are like cocaine to some people. Their property is their bottle of whiskey. They also seem to need to be around other people who are addicted to similar kinds things in order to feel well, and yet, do they ever actually seem to feel okay? (Oh yes, I just had three drinks, and now I feel great!)

I like having socks and shoes.

I also like being able to enjoy the company of people who do not feel they need to discriminate against others in order to make themselves feel, I don't know, "better than" other people, or something???

Isn't it wonderful to have access to resources in this life.

But how could everyone possibly be equally materialistic and exclusionary if the system is definitely not set up to support that greedy way of life for everybody?

Ha, behold women being articulate.

“There is purpose in protecting the most vulnerable, in informing the most marginalized, in helping each other.”

~ Leia Bamasi, an FSU College of Law student. Quoted by FSU Law student Hannah Robinson.

"Let’s stop neglecting the year-long value of farmworkers in Florida"

I guess the universe knows a lot of people really do deserve better lives.

Sometimes I really wish I didn't have to know how warped some people got by patriarchal society's negligence and bullying and materialistic and exclusionary practices. Maybe if I get better at accepting that different people are in different stages of development, it would be kinder and nicer to my body, too.

Blessed by good presences.

I get upset about things, but I can remember to feel grateful that I get to live with a really good, great guy and a really good, great kitty cat, too.

People who got trained to neglect themselves are traumatized.

Becoming one of those materialistic and cold people who act like bullying or shutting out others is the best way to get through life because some other people's imbalanced and unwell behaviors convinced you that it was the best you could do to take care of yourself looks more like another form of self-neglect than it looks like it is good self-care.
