What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?
It took me years to learn how to live in the now. I think considering how the planet is fearing we may not have that much time left. Hence, learning to live here& now is becoming essential.
I’d like to help people learn how to live here & now. By breathing & focusing on the here even when it’s difficult. By doing that you’re in the present & are stronger mentally.
Something else I’d like to do is to show people my book(s). As I’m a writer & poet. My book Greylight is something I’m very proud of & I’d like more people to read it. I’m currently working on my second book.
By being present I’ve been able to accomplish more & have told people about how essential it is. That’s my goal since I began writing on wordpress in 2007.
Alternate universe scenarios. As of my 23rd birthday I was proposed to by my first serious boyfriend. I could’ve ended up living in a trailer park in Maine somewhere with government assistance & too many mouths to feed.
Scenario two: I was proposed to after my 27th birthday by a guy I barely knew. He was controlling & manipulative & was constantly gas lighting me. I’d have ended up going in/out domestic violence shelters & would now be living somewhere on the West coast under an alias.
That’s my alternate universe scenario. Have you nearly made a big mistake but then be grateful you didn’t?
1. Has to be my husband. 2. My four legged creature, even on stormy days when he’s freaking out. 3. Our coffee machine in the kitchen. To have a cap or iced latte anytime is awesome. 4. Happy kids or kids that are happy & well adjusted. 5. My trusted laptop, even though it’s getting old it still works. 6. A good place to write in, either the atmosphere is good or the people are. 7. My reading & do everything nook on the couch. 8. Our upholstered dining room chairs. They make the room look really good. 9. My book collection that I’ve acquired the last few years. 10. Greylight: My first book that I’m very proud of.
11. It’s not a thing but being grateful everyday, know matter the circumstances. 12. My dear good friends that I’ve known for over 20 years. For them I’m grateful.
13. My recent high school reunion that went off without a hitch. How easy we talked to each other & how much fun we had. 14. My trusted bus pass & our now reliable car. 15. Our EV as I call it, runs smooth & handles well.
16. My trusted moleskin journals, I trust paper & not the cloud. 17. Listening to our four legged creature sleep. Boy does he snore.
18. Rain & cooler temperatures. You don’t know how much you miss it till you are in unbearable heat. 19. For summer storms, I watched a few when I was at my parents house. 20. That I’ve learned how to keep calm when others don’t. 21. Our bed & my husband’s understanding of my fibromyalgia days that luckily are far between. 22. My ability to talk to anyone, even random people. 23. That I’ve finally reached that age where I get taken seriously. 24. My rain gear. 25. My husband’s cooking & he’s a really good cook! 26. The fact that I sleep naturally now without drugs is something I’m grateful for. 27. For coded locks on doors. Long story. 28. My health for the last 12 years or so.
29. My marriage, to a sweetheart. He means more than he will ever know.
