Oh My God

Propagation of the Big Lie, liberal authoritarianism, HOA insanity of maintaining status quo, can we please have conscious leadership?

USA - 2 Countries

In watching a news clip not so long ago, my millennial son looked at me and poignantly stated, “Wow, Mom, we are living in 2 different countries!” I agreed then and now especially with McConnell’s statement yesterday that 100% of his focus is on blocking the Biden agenda. (Similar to his stance and leadership during Obama’s administration.) Zero concern for We The People, ending the pandemic, economic recovery, unification, and saving Democracy.

Disinfectants

Fully vaccinated, last Friday night I dined inside a small Marin restaurant. Just as I started to eat the delicious appetizers, someone cleared and wiped the large, round table to my left with a cloth, of which the Clorox to water ratio was amiss. Being an HSP adversely affected by strong smells, including many botanicals, and aware of the harmful effects on the immune system especially of chemically-derived fragrances, this was off-putting and somewhat of a deterrent for enjoying my food. Luckily, the scent was short-lived!

Recently, I saw a video from Delta Airlines showing the disinfecting process in the hopes of allaying fears and luring passengers. A Clorox derivative was being sprayed in the air and on the surfaces. My reaction was UGH, we are now being inundated with toxic chemicals, not to mention I better not wear any good clothes on a plane. I’ve seen other videos of this type of spraying promoting safety in gyms too. The Covid response of disinfecting everything with heavy chemicals like Clorox and Lysol has been a boon to the manufacturers. I shudder at the thought of children being exposed to these. There are far more benign yet effective solutions to use.

Deconstruction Again

It appears this is a daily, moment-by-moment practice to observe and analyze the internal workings of my thoughts, to be aware of what I say to myself, and to make corrections where necessary for optimal feelings and results. Like, if I take my sometimes thought/proclamation, “I’m never going to get out of this” and redirect to “I am resilient and I will find a way to get out of this”, there’s a dramatic, positive shift in my energy and mood. Ah, the discipline of thought again and again!

Ahmi

After my personal session with this amazing, intuitive horse, I was sitting with the group and listening intently to the equine coach. Ahmi suddenly reached through his stall guardrail and started to lovingly touch my back; at which point, the coach said, “Karen, Ahmi has your back!” It was a very cool moment and helped me understand that this is possible to have in a relationship. I went home, reached for my media pad and acrylic pens and repeated for documentation.
