HAPPY NEW YEAR. I guess.

I'm not going over my last year in my head. I'm not jumping on a trampline for 2018. I'm walking in and will continue my genuine attempts to manifest with out bookending time. Trying.

Xmas time

Christmas is sincerely one of my favorite times of the year. I've come to find that it's not about family,  it's sorta about friends: it's not about presents or materialism.  It's about aesthetics.

Scent: Soft Musk, Woods, Lemon Drops, Caramel,  Vanilla,  Raspberry, Strawberry,  Fig Leaf, Plum, Mandarin,  Cotton Candy.

Suicide Prevention Awareness Month 2017

The month is coming to a close,  but we need to keep talking about it.  You are not alone.  Truly.

2017

Let us not live our lives as though within bookends. It's not sinful to welcome new numbers, but 2017 can be just the same as 1999, but we have grown,  we will grow, and grow some more. So here's to which ever year you wish it to be.

HAPPY WORLD WATER DAY!

HAPPY WORLD WATER DAY!
Water is something that I cherish. I am incredibly grateful that I have such easy access. We need water daily to focus clearly,  lubricant our joints, detoxify, and it aids in weight loss for those who are trying to do that.

I drink 2 liters daily. The large water bottles you find in stores are 1.5.

Not only do we need to preserve water, we need to know the politics of water. It has become a commodity,  it is being privatized, activists and law makers are going head to head, and people are dying.

I recommend the book and documentaty, Blue Gold.

This year's theme seems to be "Merriment and LSD."

Eat!

Grapes! I'm surprised these wormy things don't make my squirm. I'm actually content to sit hexing in the corner with a bowl full of these Witches Fingers. Are these in season in October?  They'd be perfect for Halloween.

I don't really celebrate holidays anymore, but when the twinkley lights go away, my lil' pink hamster heart begins to sigh.

Tracy Anderson's 5 New Moves - 2014

I can't tell you how uncomfortable it is to hear the far too upbeat - ultra promotional voice of TV hosts. Adding to the cringe is the getting fit for the New Year pieces. Inauthentic enthusiasm! Yes, they are essentially trying to gain and sell, but together we'll do our best here to bypass the plastic cheer and focus on the workout! Now THAT'S authentic positivity!

Thanks to YouTube user MyFitnessLife·for uploading these.

Dearest Social Media,
As I made a mad dash from work this afternoon, I was unable to escape the barrage of "Happy New Years!" and "See you in 2014!" I never make resolutions but I certainly have goals. The goals I will have at midnight will be the same that I have now. I don't see New Years as a new beginning or a welcoming but rather fluid time that we have assigned as a marker. Some make attempts to clean the slate and this I have never understood. Perhaps because I never felt the need to clean. But in the midst of "any regrets?" --which I don't have--my attention has been idling. It's always strange when I am working with a patient who is my exact age. Today I spent time with a person, who had placed their face in a camp fire in attempt to save their soul. This person now has insight into their actions and is very aware that psychosis secured a spot in a psych hospital on New Years Eve. This highlighted the fact that we all have ways of doing, undoing, and renewing. In the end hopefully we gain insight and grow. Per Ms. Maya Angelou, "when you know better, you do better." I think the sentiment is not suggesting that all will learn the lesson but rather any change made is due to the knowing that you needed to. So, whether you are getting drunkity-drunk, or banging pots and pans,  watching a ball drop, or rebelling, --or a combo platter of any of these--I hope your moments are grand. Conceptualize time the way you will have it. Love, light and a bit of wonder.
