The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner And Its Analogy With Our Blood Sugar
Water, water everywhere, / Nor any drop to drink - this line from The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge does provide a poignant aspect of a sailor out at sea. On a becalmed ship, he is surrounded by gallon after gallon of seawater - which he knows will do him more harm than good if he tries to drink it.

Contrary to what we might be seeing in our external reality, we have entered into a new planetary cycle of abundance. We are moving out of Separation Consciousness, which is perceived as linear and dualistic, and into Unity Consciousness which is experienced cyclically, on a quantum level.

What I've learned in the 6 Months I've Been Officially diagnosed with ADHD-C
Living as a child with undiagnosed ADHD is difficult enough. You don't know what's wrong with you, but once you hit a certain age, your very aware that SOMETHING is not working.

Autoimmune Thrombocytopenia
I guessed at my own autoimmune disorder, caused by none other than 22q, my genetic disability, just this year, only because I was wondering what it was.
