Sensitivity : Women vs Men
Little girls are constantly accessing their surroundings . Eyes , ears, hands , smell etc they are using all sensory from birth .
It is said that boys are more motor and physical and are not accessing their surroundings .
And then there is the super hyper sensitivity factor and many more babies have this extra ordinary sensitivity.
Youngest Mother
According to the accompanying script, this is the youngest mother in history; age 9

Discovery
I’m in a ” discovery ” phase as I unpack the load retrieved from storage ( 80 plus mile , round trip ) that I drove for the 1st time . With an excellent helper with who I flow well with , we entered the unit with no problem but with no real idea where things were except the cloths that A. R. pulled out for me last trip .
So it was a Blessing to find my boots , foods and spices and more supplements that are needed !
I have been challenged this past week with lower back issues and for 36 hours have nursed myself 👍🙏❤️
And it’s much better with lots of heat , sweat and Tiger Balm !
So I pulled out a few items that I was able to pick up from yet another storage and saw a big bulge in my cloth ice cooler . It was A.R. and it was what is pictured below 👇!
Both are needed !
So all my stored stuff is A.R. packed ( heavily ; he’s very strong and has moved me singlehanded!) Several times …
I did not see a disconnect, and sadly it comes yet again at a critical time , which is why it’s ended .
I have declined to mother single Dads kids , younger friends who ask me to help out and I did with a very chill 11 year old even going to lunch at her school. It was very enlightening to set a table with her female class mates . We took pictures and talked but I don’t share those .
An invitation on a holiday , was ignored and I feel it was known that was a boundary .
I don’t allow , knowingly allow children to be used in competitive power games . It’s abuse …
I have not heard from A.R. since 9/12. I sense something is off balance .
I have had to make other arrangements that , I regret for his sake . A beautiful young man , of honor and a inquisitive human being like me .
Like a teacher/student connection for both of us , most of the time . However as time as revealed , he’s more and more needed at the family home where he’s able to do from A to Z !
And that is where I must take alternative measures as I prepare for winter , and strive to have all my things under 1 roof , as I wait for my house .
My 98 4Runner is seeming to always need repair and that’s dicey because parts are scant and often require fabrication .
I purchased brake shoes and it seemed doable for A.R. , then it wasn’t . And yes something has to be fabricated to augment the brake shoes .
LED lights required new lenses that are back ordered and $400
A decision was made to replace the LED with halogen and align then. Mine have needed adjusting and it’s very difficult to see at night .
I have a chip monk nest in my AC which is interesting 🤨.
I’m Thankful for all that he is . I was patient , sometimes extremely patient , but the communication ended .
His journey of spirit is his to direct , his acceptance of adulthood within himself ; I am very proud to have known him and had him in my life for he has been an honorable young man , compassionate and made me feel safe .
There were times when that was ” off ” and I began to understand his responsibilities which left little ” me ” time and pushing the envelope, with his time . Lack of sleep , self medicating …… it’s hard work !
I sense a break through ; praying it’s not a break down .
This young man is so worthy , so awesome and unique and though I miss him ; I am surrendered to the wisdom of Divine 🙏❤️
Blessings & Much Peace ☮️

Peer Support Effective in Recovery
I did not have positive support from established groups ; much the opposite…. they had their own language and resources that were not healthy to me . And they were solid on RX treatment which I knew was slowly killing me physically .
A new study published in Psychological Medicine finds that peer support interventions (PSIs) can effectively facilitate recovery from mental illness across various settings. These results allow a deeper look into how peer support services may aid individuals in recovery and what types of recovery may be accessible through PSIs.
“Peer support involves a mutual exchange of practical and emotional support, based on ‘shared understanding, respect, and mutual empowerment between people in similar situations with critical ingredients such as shared responsibility, hope, self-determination over one’s life, and the use of lived experience knowledge,” write the authors, led by Dorien Smit, a researcher at Radboud University and Pro Persona GGz.

UntreatedUnheard : Addiction in America
Nots : Badass Women
I have taken the liberty of making a list of things we are not doing anymore.
We are not overgiving as if we may die for enforcing a boundary.
We are not people-pleasing as if anyone’s validation is going to mean one damn thing on our next bad day.
We are not over-functioning as if there is no one else that can do it.
We are not practicing needy behavior. You are enough and you have been given everything that you need to be who you are.
We are not practicing passive-aggressive behaviors. If you have something to say by all means say it.
We are not giving up our power as if we are small children.
Own who you are.
Stop playing the victim.
You are a warrior,
a survivor,
a BADDASS!
We are not giving ultimatums. People are who they are, they deserve the same space that you do to be you, to make your own decisions that are not based on someone else’s opinions.
We are not doing this shit anymore. Instead, we practice self-love and through self-love, we heal ourselves.
They are not the tragic ending but the heroine of our own story.

Trump vs Deep State
Yes Trump promised to release the Kennedy tapes and did not ; he could very well have them for collateral.
