Thanks so much Jo Jo.
Actually I just popped on real fast to check something and I was worrying about that woman.
Good to hear she's alright.
Oh you are a photographer. My fave medium. I am NOT a photographer, but worked for a portrait artist for many years. O.K. and was a lackey lighting assistant at weddings and stuff. Hand me one of them albums and I'll have that whole story of a wedding laid out in about 45 minutes. LOL Actuallly, I know a girl from on here. Now I am a tad worried about her. She's a model. One of those oh they call them something like suicide girls or something. She does all kinds of work and lovely girl. But she was modeling bridal gowns and just so beautiful.
Honestly, and I so mean this Jo Jo. I always had like these I called inklings. I'd have a feeling about something or someone. Dismissed it all the time. Here it would happen. No co-inky-dink. Finally, I'm centering myself although who could tell. I've always been scattered. Now, that I'm meditating and studying some of this I got it going on.
As far as the stars. Planetary influence. I can do a birth chart. Haven't in awhile, but I could. I more got the feeling you've been stalled. Stuck maybe. But it's for that learning lesson ya needed to open the way up for ya for something better. A calling in your art you haven't delved into.
I know if anyone reads this they'll be like there go the weirdos again. Of course we're all the master of our own destiny but we get helped along.
Not trying to be Sylvia Brown.....LOL.......half the time or more I don't believe her and want to punch her lights out........because people so build their hopes on her answers and she kind of blows them off..........but I'm thinking it's maybe your mothering..........being a mom..........instead of enhanced your artistic nature.......maybe hindered it........not on purpose of course and not your little ones fault.........just putting your energy elsewhere....as a mom maybe your artistic self was focused on your child.......which of course is good......but we have to stay us as well......you know that though.
Do this thing.........I mean if ya want..........you probably already do......envision the white light around you.........surrounding you..........say the "Nothing can harm me physically, mentally or spiritually"......then ask the universe.......like actually say that..........Mother Earth............or whatever ya call that thing bigger than us that needs you to do your thing.........just ask if it's in your best interest can you please as soon as possible send me the sign of what it is I am to do...........please make it obvious enough so I can proceed to work on me here and now and give back.......if this isn't the right time I accept this......but I feel right now I immensely need this..
O.K. or call me a freak and don't do it, but I know it works........IF ya center.....if ya truly can channell all ya got.......just chill with it..........harness it........if ya want find out what time you were born.........where like not exactly where but what country..........and let me know..........something as simple as knowing your moon sign can be helpful even..........but for career purposes.......I'd need to do a chart........takes some time..........I mean not a bajillion years.
Yeah so I wrote like a book as usual here........glad out WW is alright and I really am grateful ya told her I was missing her.........Love and Light JO!
Oh and YO, yo..........Jo Jo I ain't been up to MOMA in like forever.......I love too going into that Algonquin Hotel and just sit in that cool lobby/bar place where all the great literary charachters hung........maybe some day we can get WW to get out of Canada...........and do that thing........I never get tired of seeing Oppenheimers Fur Teacup...........I wanna see your work in MOMA.
Yes I do.........K, k catch ya.........I gotta get to Yankee Stadium too before they tear her down..........blow her up............however they do it...........plus I need to go give Johnny Damon the Moe Eye Poke........I do not like him....LOL!
BTW, Algonquin Room we'd order Shirley temples of course......ain't needing no literary boozing.........imagine........our art would be then holding up a cardboard sign the htree of us saying "Can ya spare a dollah?"...not needing that at all.

Hi Bryn,
I've been hiding in shame. I have been on a self-indulgent pot/hash and sugar binge. Self-loathing took over. It is a huge party time in our city and it triggered my "fun" factor.
Today is a new day of a new week, however,.......I have goals to reach in regards to self-care.
Thanks for asking after me, I feel pretty useless to the board.
love and light,
Diana

Hi Diana...
Glad you popped in here...Don't let shame nor the feeling of useless keep you away from here....that's just the disease f*cking with you....You are a beautiful spirit, always......
You are very needed and missed on here...I have learned so much from your words and experiences....
Recovery is not the destination but the journey and there may be a few stumbles along the way but as long as we keep dusting ourselves off, and try to trudge foward, life shows us that it takes what it takes and peace & serenity can be ours if we work for it.....
Please stick around and share your spirit.....You are very needed and loved....
xoxo
Stacey

hey bryn i need one of those birth charts too
my horoscope said to start walking with a different step, or new shoes or something of that nature. oh maybe it was walk a new walk. i am trying.
i am up to 36 oz of water a day jojo, that is good for this soda addict. thinking about joining curves, (not too sure about that one)
I am journaling and making list of goals just for the day or the week, nothing major, stresses me out to much.
now i get to go have a free lunch with a room full of shrinks and a drug representative, whoa, fun for me hey?
ww......what can i say...you hang in there, i would be so unhappy if i didnt get to read something from you when i check the board

Hi, I started the morning on the treadmill, motivated by your words....thank you.....it's good to hear you....hey, I made it 24 hours.....then I did some weightlifting and an abs session. It looks like I am actually allowing my husband beyond my walls to influence my recovery.....he works out several hours a week.....I admire that.....so this physical activity thing lifted my mood and I feel stronger mentally....
Incidently...... I caved and bought Splenda (against my intuitive nature that it is evil, evil I say....).....and my son just brought me the the pretty little box and asked me to hide it please mom.....he can't control myself..........he is leaving little empty packets around the house....full fledged splenda addiction......should I write the company ?? sigh....like mother like son.....
off the computer until morning....
Keep up the good work whatever you are doing that lights a fire under your a**......
Love and Light,
Diana

I am a saccarin (sp?) girl, pass the pink stuff please. I had one good day, not so... bad last night, going to therapy today.
good day to everyone.
good day to everyone.
How is everyone this morning ? I did alot of driving back and forth with baseball camp yesterday. Stayed sober until the evening hours with hubby. Then I worked hard in the garden weeding and watering. I have two phone calls to return today....an old friend with a new baby.....and a woman whom I met last year at the group who wants to hear about India......I hope to show you pictures one day....I have a few photos from my gf......can u believe not one other person from the group of us offered me any photos.......even though they knew my camera disappeared??? I expect too much from other humans.....I would have offered....maybe that's just me......
I want to be in school in the fall.....my brain needs exercise and I have a strong desire to learn more and help others. There's an addictions course I've got my eye on. My friend thinks that's hilarious. She didn't understand where I was coming from. I am choosing to not see her much anymore.
My therapist says I don't need to do the meditation/yoga/walking/strict diet EVERY day. I feel it's the only way I will have complete peace. I have high expectations of myself. If I do these things it means I am loving myself. Everything is so black and white with me. Managed to meditate yesterday.
So tell me what's on your mind ?
Love and Light,
Diana

Hi Diana...
So tell me what's on your mind ?
Today I'm reflecting on the last year of my life and all the changes and blessing that have happened since being in recovery.....I've learned so much but so little...
I too use to have high expectations for myself, in fact, I expected perfection in all areas of my life and I tried to manipulate and control everything and everyone around me....God, I was so sick and tired and today I rejoice in the fact I no longer have to do everything, I no longer have to try and run the universe....do I take that illusion of control back at times, you bet but today when I do that and I become irritable, discontent & restless, I can realize what I need to do and I turn it back over to my HP, God......and the peace & serenity returns....
My thoughts today are on how I can help others....how I can do God's will and stay out of the way....
Prayer & meditation are big ones for me but the excerise & diet, I'm lacking there....Acceptance that I am loved by my HP, God and that I'm not perfect nor do I need to be and as long as I try to do my very best today, it's a great day....Willingness to change was the key that unlocked the door into freedom for me....
Glad to see you posting....I love chatting with you and always get something out of your shares....
Smooches,
Stacey
