  • Reading to improve my outlook

    How are you feeling right now?

    I’m currently reading a bunch of books but what I’m most excited about is “The Let Them Theory” by Mel Robbins. It talks about the stresses of modern life & how to NOT hold to them or take them personally.

    It makes me feel better about myself & my own situation. Let Them talk about all those things you don’t always want to say out loud. The feelings you have et cetera.

    The last 2 years I’ve been plagued by health issues & tests. I’m finally starting to get answers to those questions but it’s been a Long road. Hence, I feel pretty okay at the moment but a huge question still lingers & that’s what I’m worried about.

    My vacation was great! I went above the arctic circle to visit friends & family. It cheered me up & I finally got to reconnect with a good friend of mine. For a week I ate good food & had a good week. Coming home wasn’t a let down but I’m getting really sick of the cruise ships.

    Right now I’m feeling grateful & in a good mood. It’s almost the weekend that helps too!

  • We went down under

    Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home.

    Ten years ago now we traveled to Australia in the beginning of their Spring. We flew into Sydney & then flew to the coast to Cairns. We spent a few days at the coast & the rainforest then flew to Darwin.

    From Darwin we drove down to Alice Springs, a place I had fallen in love with as a young reader. We stopped by Uluru State Park & saw the rock & learned the history behind it. Alice Springs was wonderful right in the center of Australia.

    Then we flew back to Sydney & then back home. It was a 14 hour flight but well worth it!

  • Active threats on my life

    As I’ve written in this blog before I encountered some toxic kids about 3 months back. I’m minding my own business on the local bus today when I hear these 8-10 year old boys say out loud that their parents want to “kill me.”

    This is no longer just a toxic situation gone wrong I’m debating calling the police & reporting them. I knew the westside of the city had a bad reputation but this tops it all.

    First of all those toxic kids obviously have toxic parents that’s obvious but to behave & say such things is now a legal problem I’ve no problem addressing as I’ve done nothing wrong.

    I’ve changed my schedule around because I was harassed by those toxic kids & barely leave the house as it is. The parents that said those things should feel mortified. That’s not adult behavior to be proud of.
