Caught Up In the Weeds

It's funny, one gets caught deep in the recesses of their emotions and tries desperately to find their way out only to beat themselves up for getting caught up...Well, I got caught up and beat myself up for being stuck...when everything else around me has been moving forward, emotionally I've been still...very, very still..Like nothing. Feeling only the periphery of my joy, pain, sadness, pride, fulfillment...I have been my most stoic self. The difference between the stoic and how I was feeling was the stoic self was/is the act of covering up the emotions verses my non emotions. I've been asking myself WTF IS GOING? No answer, just silence and no real feelings...wanting desperately to cry...but nothing.

I think I've finally realized what has been going on, I've been caught up in the weeds of change. LOTS AND LOTS of change and overwhelming feelings to boot. At first I found myself desperately cutting through the tall weeds of change feeling like I was getting nowhere at all. Just more and more weeds. What was I trying to cut through? My decisions verses my heart verses the state of my emotional affairs verses the weeds that felt they were grabbing at me and chocking me. I got tired of chopping through it all and just stopped. Stopped feeling or at least really embracing my feelings because it was just too much. I sat in the weeds and felt life blow by. Just tired...very tired.

I have been slowly getting up and working my way through the weeds. Why, because my life needs me to be fully present. It keeps blessing me with an abundance of options that can potentially lead me to living my very best life...my purpose. It feels good to be up again. Glad to be making my way back through the weeds.

JESSICA HAMPTON #Sayhername

Jessica Hampton Mother - Daughter - WOMAN She was on the Red Line train in the middle of the day this past June. 25 year old young woman Jessica Hampton, whom I read was working incredibly hard to get her life together. She was learning to love herself again. She stopped drinking and was probably thinking of what her next steps to living her best life with & for her daughter who she has left behind...a six year old daughter. Jessica Hampton was loved by many. She was on her way somewhere and she shook her head no to him and he stabbed her multiple times. No one stepped in to help her. People screamed and ran in the opposite direction. People videotaped her death and took in her demise through a lens and did not step in to stop it. Like many women, she found herself with a man whose intentions for her ended up being violence at all costs. This individual has gone to jail for this crime against a woman who simply said no to him an...

String Section

Good evening folks. I am full of all sorts of emotion as usual, but feeling more solid. My emotions feel like they are like strings on a guitar, they need tuning- tightening, loosening, changing, strumming. They snap when played to aggressively and fray from over usage. There are a few key things that can ensure the strings are getting the best possible usage, care however you want to think of it...The guitar itself should be solid, sturdy and in all around good condition; the owner, caretaker, player should have a full understanding of the ins and outs of the guitar as a whole as well as a loving connection. A few posts prior I spoke of waking up in the AM and loving on myself, and connecting with my spiritual center with prayer and meditation. I noticed, on the days when I consecutively connected and loved on me first thing in the AM, I felt strong, centered and in harmony with my emotional carriage. I fell off the morning spiritual love me fest and found myself completely out o...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, With Love...

Dear moms, I have just had a lovely Mother's Day. My son lovingly woke me up this morning with this single rose, bear and card. He followed that up with the deepest hug and a slew of "why I am so lucky to have you as my mom" sweet nothings. I was done. My heart was bursting. He even blogged about it...Seriously He loves me unconditionally, wow! He loves me with every part of who he is and it is so beautiful and real. So why am I going on and on about this uninhibited show of affection from my child? I guess because I don't have this kind of love for myself. Yes, over the years, I've learned to "love me," but am still working on being in love with me. Loving me with zero inhibitions, blindly and completely unconditional. The big blessing of this day is that I am one of the lucky ones. Besides the obvious roof over my head, food in my belly, employment, internet, free will etc..., I get to be told everyday that I am loved. I get to look into my...
