Size Matters!
Our bodies need proper nutrition to operate in a peak state. By proper nutrition I mean nutritionally dense foods, such as organic whole foods, not take out, fast foods and processed foods. With that said, most fitness/health minded folks think of food in terms of macro-nutrients (protein, carbohydrate and fat).

Juggling Life
Juggling Life-a non-profit organization who puts on free events for kids with Crohn's, Colitis, and Cancer. Also, a fun and meaningful play on words for what we have to do throughout life--juggle many responsibilities at once. Sometimes it can feel overwhelming. Sometimes we feel we have it covered. Most of the time we teeter between chaos and order. Do we let it get the best of us or do we accept it for what it is?

The Home Healthcare System is Broken
The personal care Health system is so broken, and sometimes I wonder if it can be fixed. These people coming to your house, and they act like they are doing you a favor, but what caregivers fail to realize it Is they are gaining paid to perform a service. These people are coming whenever they feel like it and leave whatever they want to. It's they did that a typical job they would be fired immediately. As a client, I have to turn everyday people into personal care assistants. Most of the time, I have to direct my care to a stranger I have never met before; we have to learn to each other on the fly. There is this added worry if their personality Will meshes well with mine. I am an avid believer that you know necessarily have don't like the person you are working with if it Is a temporary situation. For example, if somebody is picking up a shift to fill in, then you can put aside the differences to get done with needs to be done. If you are spending a lot of days and hours with one person, then you have to find a personality that can gel with yours. You don't want a staff that treats you like you work for them. Like they can Control everything you do. You don't want somebody that's going to tried to Control your Financial well-being. There are so many things to consider when assessing a personal care aide. There are so many pitfalls to this whole system. You don't want to get too close, because most PCA's don't stick around very long. As you are ready to put down your guard with some of them, it seems those are the ones who are prepared to steal from you.

Mirror Dragon Tarot Free Weekly Reading #22
Out of the flames and into a balance of three. After facing the fire that burned away the shrouds and fetters of unrealistic and unnecessary actions, expectations, perceptions and more, we now face a week of thoughtful panning and the planting of seeds for new growth. Here in Maine, the blueberry fields are burned clear every other year, a practice learned from Native Americans, to increase crop yield. Burning, or thermal pruning, eliminates insects, diseases and other competitive plant species and allows the blueberries' underground runners to thrive. Now that the energy of last week’s fiery Wands has uncovered the fertile ground below we can see where to nurture and encourage growth.

The Workings Of A Beautifully Chaotic Mind
I think about how people's minds work quite often. I believe it to be a true statement when I say, that until we know different we assume every other human functions the same as we do. I was in grade school when I was introduced into the idea that it is not always the case, sadly that lesson didn't really take hold though. The lesson was about color. I'm sure it's a common lesson. It introduced the idea that although we all agree blue is blue, we can never know how someone else sees blue. Later in life I discovered the harder lesson that men and women think differently. I have always been disappointed that men seem to have a one track mind, and if they are focused on something such as a video game they think of little else during that time. It took me a million times of asking men what they are thinking about before I ultimately gave up that they might be capable of having interesting thoughts. Well of course what is interesting is subjective. I think women are more interested in people and feelings, where men contimplate the burrito they had a week ago. I accepted that difference, but then assumed that all women had constant thoughts racing through their minds. They gave all the indications that it was so. Many women had the same fluid emotional changes that I felt. Moving from one emotion to another almost at random. And even with all these discoveries I found myself assuming everyone struggled with thoughts constantly as I did. These assumptions were further cemented in my mind because I never considered that I might be wrong or that something maybe wrong with my thought process. When I was much older though and many habits firmly in place for good or bad that I started to really learn things about myself. There is nothing that makes a stronger impression though then seeing someone else do the things you do. I eventually was faced with this and saw myself in the things I saw in him. We where like magnets in the way we where drawn to each other. His childhood is also riddeled with trauma and he suffered neglect from his mother. We both left home at a very early age and made it by just being survivors. To this day I consider him my brother and he is the only person I have kept in my life as a constant. We have both recognized the similarities in each other and found probably the truest version of love we can manage.
