Highly Sensitive – The Power of Introverts in a World that cannot stop talking

The highly sensitive tend to be philosophical or spiritual in their orientation, rather than materialistic or hedonistic. They dislike small talk. They often describe themselves as creative or intuitive. They dream vividly, and can often recall their dreams the next day. They love music, nature, art, physical beauty. They feel exceptionally strong emotions–sometimes acute bouts of joy, but also sorrow, melancholy, and fear. Highly sensitive people also process information about their environments–both physical and emotional–unusually deeply. They tend to notice subtleties that others miss–another person’s shift in mood, say, or a lightbulb burning a touch too brightly. ~Susan Cain

One Toke over the Line

To my delight this song found me tonight and I giggled as it started to play.

I smoked a good bit of pot at age 19, and as in most of my formative years…behind schedule . So it was 1971 , it was extremely affordable to buy , however my wages were very low , since I decided not to use my certification in Cosmetology, until it helped in selling cosmetics.

The older ladies were sweet , had the more famous thus more profitable lines , and that was ok.. I wasn’t focused on riches , just in having enough .

I enjoyed doing inventory and stock work.

I don’t think I envisioned the legalization of pot , as it was common to find me deeply in the country at friends and a ” family ” type part would be overnight…

It is a good thing to witness this birth of New Earth , I finally can breath and smile at my knowing in the early 80s , I wanted to be closer to God on this mountain.. I kept the faith and my focus and I am rewarded with the life I dreamed of in my late 30s , when I considered life, after our sons had moved out .

I never got to that place with our children.

Lots of hellish years of darkness .

And now I’m here ….in the country , soon to have that yard and freedom, liberated from the obstacles that are boomerangs to those who participated in my journey negatively .

No fear …..

trusting my visions, my truth and I have survived these 13 years . I lurch just now , and soon I will have news on my own home, through the love, support of the most loving friend..and there be ample places to walk..

It will be a return , triumphant… it is a sign and my peace is so assured , I nodded out after spaghetti dinner, lol. It is time to rest and just be .

Emotional Neglect and Highly Sensitive People

I grew up in a house that had no one who knew my sensitive nature and I was teased and made uncomfortable .. younger brother I suspect was also, but he has never been introspective , nor forgiving of being treated with out regard to his sensitivity .

Youngest definitely is and always was , and was very kind , sweet and giving .

Our sons had sensitivities, but were not allowed to be sensitive as most boys from toddler on are to be a ” man ” , that tears are a bad thing .. I had a lot of forgiving of self to do over being a part of the problem, It seemed like someone in family or friends always needed something very basic and little time was left to deeply think through the deep .. that is until I tried to sleep.

All of these things rose for review as I woke to my fate of death if I continued the psychiatric drugs prescribed for was Malignant, Intimate Partner Violence

Woman

When God created woman he was working late on the 6th day…….

An angel came by and asked.” Why spend so much time on her?”

The lord answered. “Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her?”

She must function on all kinds of situations,

She must be able to embrace several kids at the same time,

Have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart,

She must do all this with only two hands,”She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day”

THE ANGEL was impressed “Just two hands…..impossible!

And this is the standard model?”

The Angel came closer and touched the woman

“But you have made her so soft, Lord”.

“She is soft”, said the Lord,

“But I have made her strong. You can’t imagine what she can endure and overcome.”

“Can she think?” The Angel asked…

The Lord answered. “Not only can she think, she can reason and negotiate.”

The Angel touched her cheeks….

“Lord, it seems this creation is leaking! You have put too many burdens on her”

“She is not leaking…it is a tear” The Lord corrected the Angel…

“What’s it for?” Asked the Angel….. .

The Lord said. “Tears are her way of expressing her grief, her doubts, her love, her loneliness, her suffering and her pride.”…

This made a big impression on the Angel,

“Lord, you are a genius. You thought of everything.

A woman is indeed marvellous”

Lord said.”Indeed she is.

She has strength that amazes a man.

She can handle trouble and carry heavy burdens.

She holds happiness, love and opinions.

She smiles when she feels like screaming.

She sings when she feels like crying, cries when happy and laughs when afraid.

She fights for what she believes in.

Her love is unconditional.

Her heart is broken when a next-of-kin or a friend dies but she finds strength to get on with life”

The Angel asked: “So she is a perfect being?”

The lord replied: “No. She has just one drawback

She often forgets what she is worth.”
