In the journey....

Hey peeps! Guess what? The sky did not fall. Although the amount of rain we're getting seems to indicate it's trying to.

I keep doing that exercising for the sake of endorphins thing. Probably not as much as i should. But I figure every little bit helps. OMG, found a new herb that lifts the gray clouds every single time exactly like the first time I took a Zoloft a few years ago. Holy Basil - try it my dears. Get the gelcaps, they're more powerful than the capsules of dried up leaves. Anyway, just wanted to let you know acknowledging I'm depressed doesn't mean I'm staying in that dark place. Actually have been there a lot less since I fessed up about it.

Been staying at my lovely Aunt M's lovely house in lovely Newberg quite a bit lately - cause being at "home" is just, well, depressing. Got a new routine going where I get the kids out the door to school, spend a couple of hours playing maid at the house, then go to her peaceful, quiet and exquisitely decorated living room that smells like a hundred Scentsy pots heating "flower shop" at full blast. That's where I dig into the job of finding a job. It's a lot easier there than amidst the ghosts and angst monsters that grab me by the throat at the ol' homestead.

Having survived a weekend of personal attack against my right to happy, I'm now coming off a rather pleasant one that involved lots of fun people and places. It's not exactly over yet either - Deva Kate volunteered to hear "my side of the story" over coffee today. And later the irrepressible Deva Kelli will try hard not to say I told you so over a vodka collins (me) and a piece of cheesecake (her). My goal is to laugh my way through both of these girlfriend sessions. I have decided that the beauty of a roller coaster ride is that you know the down times are temporary and always followed by a time of peace. A friend recently reminded me that the universe is generous and that scarcity only exists in my mind. So, what the hell, might as well start acting like it.

This Grace Storm keeps getting better and better. It's all Red sweethearts, never forget that.


Ha! Just clicked on my Divine Wink at the illustrious Sera Beak's website! I got my all time fave that I've gotten a million times...."You are what happens when all that is, and all that is not, Fuck."

In Grace, (and by that I mean sitting, rolling, playing in it, soaking it up like a sponge - like mud wrestling with angel wings)
