Do I trust MY Instincts?

Yes I do trust my instincts. I have seen and felt things from as early as I can remember, like when I was a very young child a few years old.

I honestly believe all or most people can feel it, but we are trained or taught to ignore the feelings and follow the crowd. People do not realize that the crowd or collective is being trained to follow leaders who have no care for you as an individual or collectively.

I have way too many stories to list about times and situations when I knew to say no, walk away, leave immediately but had no concrete proof as to why, only to be told later that I missed something very bad happened after I left.

When I was younger, I thought that my sense of feeling things around me was a bad luck of sorts. I thought maybe it was following me. Now as an adult I realize I am just super perceptive to the air and shifts in it.

I’ve always been knowledgeable about body language reading people’s unconscious speech.

There are many times that people tell me that I need to do x,y, or z. My gut feeling screams NO!!!

I tell people No Thank You and then I move on.

I used to be asked why I do what I do and as a younger woman I may have said, I’m not sure why, I just know it’s no. Now I offer no explanation, but no and I move on if too many questions are asked.

What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?

My number One Priority Tomorrow is to meal plan for the entire week and print out my list so I don’t worry about what we will eat.

This makes me have one less thing to stress about.

These are ALWAYS a hit with the family. Baked potatoes are filling and go with ANY type of meat and veggies or salads.

A Lesson I wish I had learned early in life

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

I was given this writing prompt and decided to go with it.

My life has been greatly affected and inspired by my maternal grandmother.

The lesson I wish I had learned earlier in life, is that my grandmother was a literal walking encyclopedia with a wealth of knowledge for all things natural.

I wish I had taken notes on almost EVERYTHING she’s ever told me. I only have a notebook of things she told me once I realized the value of her speech.

I seriously missed out on a legacy that I can not get back. The newer generations do not realize the value in the old. Simple things like making bread or growing a few things you can eat from your own garden. Life has been fast paced and hurry hurry rush rush.

Stop and enjoy people before you lose that opportunity and maybe take note of what memorable things they say. Especially if it touches your heart.

Do You Ever See Wild Animals

Do you ever see wild animals?

I live in a big city near a college. They are building what I called rackem stackems all around my city.

It’s strange I hear about environment conservation and carbon footprints and emissions but people keep tearing down trees to erect these mass occupancy housing units.

Just this past month I’ve seen foxes, deer and rabbits. So yes to live in the city I see a LOT of Wild Animals here but I believe they’ve chopped down their hiding places sadly.

On our walk one day not far from home.

I don’t have any fox pictures. We see a lot of foxes. They seem to be super scared and take off the moment they sense your presence.

My rabbit pictures are blurs. 🤣

We see owls a LOT when we go outside to view the moon. We’re moon gazers here. We’ve seen bats flying when moon watching.

Three Jobs I’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter

List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter.

Three Jobs I’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter:

The first one is naturopathic physician. I’d love to help people be healthy. I am a registered nurse. We do not have healthcare in the United States of America. We have what I consider to be sick care. Mediocre sick care at best. Very EXPENSIVE mediocre sick care. I believe in teaching people how to be healthy and maintain health and care for the ONE and only body they’ve been blessed to have. I do not like medical care which consist of covering symptoms with different drugs. This is NOT sustainable and in my humble opinion causes more health problems and issues.

The second job I would pursue if money didn’t matter is running a small nursery selling houseplants. I LOVE plants and have too many in my small home. I used to rescue plants, which replaced my rescuing cats and dogs who needed homes. I do not think I’m that great of a plant keeper, but I LOVE plants and love experimenting with different propagation methods. I’m currently working on propagating and replanting my scrawny fittonia plants.

The third job I would consider pursuing if money didn’t matter is a business helping find suitable home health caregivers for people who need anything from a part time respite care relief to full time caregivers in their homes. I have an innate ability to read people in person, psychology background and listen well and believe I could choose wonderful caregivers to help others not just people who are looking for an easy paycheck and little work. I’m also interested in helping new mom’s with organizing their homes, meals, aftercare after birth, those have been the hardest things for me, ESPECIALLY considering I was on bedrest with most of my kiddos at some point. I had difficult pregnancies with some preterm labor.

Those are the “three” jobs I would consider if money didn’t matter.

What would my life be like without Music?

What would your life be like without music?

Hmmm 🤔

What would my life be like without music.

Without music my life would be pretty quiet.

I love to play classical music while we read or do school at home.

I love to listen to Pantera while I was dishes or vacuum especially when there is a huge load of dishes or the floor is really dirty. ( I have light carpet where I have carpet).

I love listening to any Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of The Dog) while painting, drawing, ironing clothes ( yes I still iron… I know many people put their clothes in the dryer to remove wrinkles.), and doing my weekly declutter/ reorganizing things.

I can’t imagine my life without music. Music brings me happy feelings, calm feelings, remembering good times especially of family and friends, who are no longer with us.

I believe music is a gift from G-d and am happy to be able to daily include music in our lives.

Maranta ( Prayer Plant) makes me smile.

At My Age My Parents Were

What were your parents doing at your age?

At my age my parents were plotting to retire. The were empty nesters. They had planned for decades to retire at an early age and travel and just have fun in general.

Dad retired early, then became very bored so he went back to work. A different new job. Then retired again years later.
