Vaporizing the Grumpies
I was on the ferry this morning, heading toward the mainland and feeling kind of grumpy. Well, really grumpy actually. The boat was running super late due to the ferry crew performing practice emergency drills at the dock – some kind of MARSEC training that put the crew into a pretend tizzy in the event of a credible security threat. I know that I should have felt grateful that the ferry cared enough about such a possible eventuality, but I wasn’t.

From Anxious Punk to Aspiring Monk: My Spiritual Awakening and the Music That Accompanied it. Top Story - April 2021.
When I was in my late teens, I was a self-confessed punk, frequently drunk, and suffering from social anxiety. That was, pretty much, all there was to know about me. My identity was rooted in the music I listened to and the people I surrounded myself with. I drank because that's what everyone else did. I also drank to bury the feelings of insecurity and anxiety that were slowly building within me.

Music To My Ears
Music has always been a big part of my life. I've connected with many people in the world that hear music, but they don't feel it. The songs don't jump up at them as if they were alive. Music, for me, is like a best friend. The kind of friend that will always be there no matter what. Hard days, happy days, and all the other days in between. Music is life. But let's be more specific here. I want to share the perfect playlist. The playlist that has defined my past, and maintain my future. No matter what I am doing, I turn to certain songs and genres when I'm doing something very specific. This is a story and guide of what keeps me calm. Not just with Meditation, but with everything else. Keeping me Zen 365 days a year.

How does the mental healing start?
Before I describe the moment you will know your healing process starts, I will tell you a bit about myself. I was born in a relatively unstable family, which looked pretty normal if you were looking from the outside, but then life happened, and it got worse and worse. I grew up confused, deeply sad and it looked like nothing worked my way. I was struggling in all areas of life, family, relationship, career, all you can think of. I had no idea what planet I was living on and what purpose I had. Despite the misfortune, anxiety, depression and other things going into my past life, I always had a huge amount of curiosity and hunger for self-improvement. I don't know why I was attracted by that and I don't remember when exactly it started, and probably you don't know the reason behind your search either, but you are looking for answers.

The Importance of Memories
A few years ago, I lost all my memories after the age of 10. Even as I’m writing this I’m unaware of just precisely when this all began though I’m sure as I write this clues will eventually be filled in. 6 months ago, I quit my treatments that caused this memory loss and as everyday passes I regain more and memories of my previous life by looking through old photos and scrapbooks my parents have been finding for me. It’s often disturbing that I am indeed a stranger to myself and all of those who still care for me.

Back Surgery & Covid-19
waiting in pre-op August 3, 2020 The morning of my microdiscectomy. 4:00 AM. I’m waking up to the sounds of the alarm. It’s 4 already? Ugh. Better get my sister up. We had an hour and a half until I had to be at the hospital. I was finally having back surgery to fix a herniated disc. I was scared, as I haven’t had the greatest experience with medical procedures, but I was looking forward to the relief it could provide. It had been 5 months of dealing with excruciating pain and nerve injury.

Music Kaleidoscope for Health and Healing
Music Kaleidoscope for Health and Healing By Lorie Pulliam, Bella Coola Canada 🇨🇦 Neuroscience is my trade and music is my scientific vibe. Music when associated with the chemistry of the brain is like a kaleidoscope of vibration for me. Pulsing, overlapping with the number of beats that are in”tune” to my heart beating. Music creates a change to my mood and pours into my neutron base of memory and the need to feel safe, peaceful and content.

Taxes Make Me Feel Taxed
Is there any worse time of the year for a small business person? It always comes down to the question, should I do it myself or pay to have my taxes done? Maybe it's not everyone that thinks that way. I do though because I know that I can do my own taxes. They aren't that complicated. I used to teach a business course so I do know how to do my taxes.
