Highly Sensitive

I’m 100%

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

Honestly is essential for Intimacy – Sherrie Campbell PhD

Totally is for me , and that’s an absolute …

Not sorry either .. It’s sadly been MIA from far too many relationships ..

Because honesty is the highest form of intimacy, it makes sense why peaceful connections don’t occur in highly dysfunctional family systems. There is zero honesty. These families are plagued with lies, selfishness, false narratives, divide-and-conquer gang-ups and scapegoating. There is no love, just demands.

Without honesty, no one is safe aside from the most dominate toxic person/people. They force the entire system to function around their dysfunction by inducing fears of rejection in all other members.

In these families, what is valued by the most toxic person isn’t connection, but control. Control and being able to manipulate everyone else to follow along like sheep is intoxicating to them. Honesty could never bring them this type of satisfaction in the ways they crave. This is a sick system, and you have every right to liberate yourself from it .

I had this picture hanging in my bedroom , and she brought me so much joy 😊❤️

Dear Men

Dear Men..

We miss you.
Deeply.

When women gather together in circles..
we tell stories of how much we long for you.

Crave you.
Pray for you to rise and meet us here.
We mourn your missing presence.

In our childhoods.
In the homes we’ve built without you.
In our beds.

We hold hands and beg God to set you free from whatever keeps you from standing at our sides.

Right here.

Here In intimacy.
In integrity.
In wholeness.
In freedom.

The places where you are caught in dishonesty..
shame..
fear..
addiction..
we grieve and rage over.

We see your pain and we see your power.
We miss you.
We love you.
We can’t wait for you to come home.

For the men who have..
thank you so much.
Please call your brothers..
start men’s circles..
show them the manuals.

Tell them of what you gave up.
Of your brokenness and acceptance.
Of what it truly means to take up the mantle of protector.

Please.

There aren’t enough fathers..
resources and leaders for men to sit at the feet of.

The women have tried.
We can’t do it.

The restoration must come from within the Masculine.
The Feminine cannot mother grown men into wholeness.

We cannot strap men to our backs and walk.

We tried.
We bow out.
Not gracefully.

But in mournful acceptance nonetheless.
And we will wait for you to burst free from the shackles patriarchy has placed on you.

We pray.
We pray.
We pray.

For the Great Remembrance.

Gratitude

There will be no one like us when we are gone, but then there is no one like anyone else, ever. When people die, they cannot be replaced. They leave holes that cannot be filled, for it is the fate—the genetic and neural fate—of every human being to be a unique individual, to find his own path, to live his own life, to die his own death. I cannot pretend I am without fear. But my predominant feeling is one of gratitude. ~Oliver Sacks

Every Minute

Every minute someone leaves this world.
We’re all in “the queue” without even realizing it.
We will never know how many people are ahead of us.
We can’t move down the line.
We can’t get out of line.
We can’t avoid the line.
While we wait in line.
Making the moments count!
Establish your priorities.
Take the time.
Let your qualities be known.
Make people feel that they’re important.
Let your voice be heard.
Do great things with small things.
put a smile on someone face.
Make the switch .
Make love.
Make peace.
Ask yourself about it.
Make sure you tell your loved ones you love them.
Make sure you have no regrets.
Make sure you are prepared.
This is very very true.
Live life and let live, enjoy it, be grateful,
Don’t waste your time arguing,
fighting, doing wrong things, life is short,
live it up,
be humble ,
love yourself and be happy with what you have.

Me

Nothing has been more scary , more hellish that accepting the truth of the lies ,, secrets , threats , betrays , abuses and death intentions of a highly distorted white male , who is supported financially and his desire to have me cease to exist.

I was vulnerable and the mirror too often for his projections I absorbed and internalized , but began to mirror , and I’m sure that was not pleasant for him, but it’s taken me time to not react with my face .

I always have shown emotions on my face , my Dad had pet names for my expressions , he liked to tease me for years ..I lived on never sand feelings with a weak and lazy mind that was deep, very deep. And life has produced a lot of “ me time “ , though it was quite a while before I looked in my closets , lol. And that mother load of self revelations , instincts , screaming , came in the chemical haze of psychiatry and their “ poison “ had become beyond deniable , however I discovered few people, professionals included , who knew I was in a high stated to trauma and drug addiction legally by our AMA and Big Pharma, therapist, the legal system, the religious and social institutions.

So glad to be leaving that behind , on my own which is normal , and every day releasing . That said there are a few energies I’m having trouble blocking , but I’m working on it . I am aware of my protection and the closure that the Universe has panned , with “side effects “ to those who have done me great harm.. it’s not in my control.

Still searching for a home, they are over priced and sell quickly or need a lot of work, but one has my name on it .

I went out twice this past week, and I’m not doing too much to prepare myself , and was pleased to talk with a new person, who said I looked 20 years younger that my chronological age ! I’ve heard that a lot , it’s cool but I’m not egocentric… I met a new gal, very interesting who said she loved my hair ! That meant a lot , after looking so much hair in January … I use good generic hair regrowth products , and genes lol.

☝️ Please note my vision is very fuzzy , and there more be more grammar errors than my normal. Lol I have an appointment in October to prepare for cataract surgery 😊

The recent past tested me yesterday , when I arrived at my restaurant, and was met at the door with information of the presence of the LLC crook, being in there , and I was very Thankful for the advance and there wasn’t a moment of unease on my part . I noted he had gained a good deal of weight , and went on to enjoy my evening

All is well with my soul and I pray for you that this is so.

Blessings & Peace ☮️
