spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!'

Se was shot and killed after an auto graph signing, after a concert she gave in Orlando Florida last night. She was shot several times and succumbed to her injuries. How sad, is all I can say. She was very talented. Chris sang and played piano. She hit the high notes and held them. She was a beautiful young lady.

She was a spokeswoman for the show in the wardrobe dept. as helped dress each contestant. Last season she had competed and got third place. God Bless Chris. You will be missed. Here's a video of her singing a Drake song, 'I'm coming Home'. Peace.

Tips on Coping with a mild TBI

spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!'

As have shared in past, I live with the after effects of a head injury from a car accident several years ago. With it, has come emotional challenges as well.  I have at times feelings of fear being out with this. Also get frustrated when making decisions. Feel sad as there are limitations on how much can do in a day, how quickly do them and so on. Also get stressed as live with service dog and cope with this mostly on own.

I found an article on a web site on daily coping tips for persons living with this as well for care givers who care for us so understand us better. Here's the link http://braininjuryeducation.org/Treatment/Compensatory-Strategies/  I just want to say to those of you out there, I find doing something daily helpful. Ex. am off to see my therapist today speak to her about how am doing.

 Many people are dealing with concussions and it is in the news now, especially with returning service men coming back with brain injuries and the movie 'Concussion' bringing to light sports injuries. Anything that can help people get better and accept their condition and have some sort of a life is good.

One is not as was. I just make lemonade from lemons given. Take care.

More on gossip....

spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!'

Here's an article found online. I found it encouraging as learned recently gossiping so one can hear it as they want you t here it to be hurtful, is a form of bullying. It is also hate speech. Reflects poorly on gossiper as shows how insecure they are, seeking attention, can only hold a conversation about limited topic. Need to ask again, why directed at one person?

They are living rent-free in your head to point is an obsession. Often person you dislike has no idea you feel this way or has no clue why. Never did anything to them so all can do is keep truckin'.

Gossip and it's effect on our health

spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!'

Hi all! Trust you are well or are getting there. Was a loong winter for me. So many dreary days. Not as cold as been in past and not too much snow though. As usual, my SAD, seasonal affective disorder kicked in. Felt very down daily, especially in the mornings. Improved as did things. Was hard doing things like house work, food shopping, laundry.

Feels great when done. How it works. Did wash a couple of days ago. Put it away today. Now have fresh-smelling clean clothes! When down, our memory gets fuzzy and we forget it's really that simple. What makes it harder is that those around us don't understand our behavior so we become isolated and sick of explaining ourselves. For example, I am often referred to as 'crazy' by haters here who sit on buts, doing nothing, are negative, miserable and feel better about selves by putting someone else down.

Why do they do it? Stems from envy. Something about other's life they envy.  I just walk with God and my service dog, Brandy, letting them go. I have no control over them. Only can control myself. I ignore, avoid, don't talk to and basically don't get involved in their pathology. I act and not react. Not worth my time. Often have thought of telling them off.

Best not to interact as puts me on their level. Have to consider the source. One looks anorexic or has a drug problem, another always seems angry and has a big beer gut so has a drinking problem. Always amuses me the people who should not talk on others as so troubled themselves, have the mt to say. They like to share their misery. They catch the ears of others wos
ho are the same.

I try to be positive and keep busy and spirits up. This is nothing care to be involved in.  in response walk around with head hones and sun glasses, hahhaha. I tried getting out of here but rents to high in places liked. If can't change my situation, need to change my attitude. I daily let them go to God. I work EA, emotions anonomys.

First step says to let go of people and emotions and to admit life is unmanageable. Next step Came to believe god could restore me to sanity. 3. Turned my life over to God. What this means is abiding my will with God's and living responsibly daily and taking care of what needs doing. Mind my business, live and let live, one day at a time are some slogans follow.

Peace out all.

Reiki & Chakra Jewelry to Heal what Ails you

spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!'

I recently learned how to do reiki, also known as energy healing. Reiki, comes from the Japanese word, 'rei' which means life and 'ki' which is energy. This means life energy. Reiki is a healing practice from Japan. I already make reiki, healing jewelry, made of gemstones, so, this is a natural progression, the energy work.

 Reiki as well as the stones are for healing the energy fields, known as chakras, of your body. There are 9 chakras, symbolized by different colors, stones,  parts of the body being healed. The first is red. Garnet is used for 'grounding'. This means to keep your feet on the ground so are level-headed. Coral is used if you are too grounded, as it lets some creativity in. The part of your is along your knees. Just lay yourhands on your knees and accept the healing energy from God.

 Chakra 2 is orange. Carnelian, sandstone, amber are the stones used to bring energy into the body. The lower abdomen is the area being healed, dealing with the sex organs. Symbolizes life. Again you place your hands on your lower abdomen.

The third chakra is yellow. Citrin, tiger's eye, calcite are the stones used for healing the nervous system. The abdomen is the area for healing. Yellow chakra symbolizes the mind which is for wisdom but can also be full of terror. Reiki healing for the 4th chakra is green. Adventurine, jade and malakite are stones used for healing the heart. It also can help heal relationships.

 4th chakra is green. Adventurine and jade are used to heal the heart and to bring healing into relationships. Increases self esteem and love also.

Chakra 5 is blue. Lapis and turquoise are used to heal the throat. Also helps to control what say. The tongue can be a blessing and a curse. Reiki in this area helps you improve your communication with others.

The 6th chakra is indigo. Fluorite, soladite and rose quartz are meditation stones to help you gain spirituality. The area being healed is a little above between your eyes, known as the 'third eye'. Cupping hands over the eyes,sinuses and cheeks heals this area. This is good if have sinus problems too. Yes, once learn the reiki technique, you can practice the method on yourself, without paying a reiki master!

Chakra 7 is purple. Amethyst is used to help our crown of your head or your mind. Yes, it aids in emotional and mental disturbance.

Ying and yang are black and white or good and bad and onyx for strength and quartz for air clearing are used. Hematite also wards off negativity fom others and self.


Give this reiki treatment a go and let me know how it works for you! Also feel free to visit my shop on square and etsy. links are on this blog, to buy the reiki, balancing and chakra jewelry.
