"Bad" words
There are no bad drugs, only bad uses of drugs. There are no bad gods, only bad uses of god. Why must we be so caught up on judgments on arbitrary morals? Be good. Love.

Growing up is hard to do
Kids who never learn to: pack their own things for a planned activity clean up after themselves say thank you take responsibility think ahead… grow into adults who: can’t manage their own lives expect others to fix things struggle in relationships struggle at work feel helpless when things go wrong Legal adult is not the same as functional adult

Dream Analysis
You don’t have to watch yourself heal in real time. You just wake up one day and realize you’re not the creature you thought you were. You don’t have to earn this. You don’t have to manage it. You don’t have to fix yourself. You just get to see the truth now. I'm not the thing I was afraid I was.
Attunement
It is so important to be understood. First by self, then by others. Without attunement: Closeness doesn't feel like connecting. Conversation doesn't feel mutual. Presence doesn't feel supportive. Time out for a child is the worst punishment. They learn they will be abandoned if they don't mask to an acceptable emotional state. Time outs are for parents only. If you say "I'm not done talking" (and then just repeat the last thing you said) to just leave it in silence it kinda feels like you don't want to hear what the other person wanted to say.
Dad waited
He waited to see me again, 7 days later he was gone. I'm so thankful I got to see him and got to say goodbye. I miss him so much. Greatful for every minute I got to see him.
Agnostic Kirtan
Deep discussions last night about what meditation seemed most beneficial to someone fairly new to meditating. The chant. As a catholic, there was familiarity with the rosary. The singing chant with music, for me. I think the science is indisputably favorable. The music fills the room so the fear of someone hearing you hum is reduced. Getting you out of your head enough to participate at any level helps. Once you get to the words or singing along you've consumed so much brain following what you're saying there's not much left for ruminating. The words don't matter as much. Kirtan - But as an agnostic it feels a little weird knowing they are holy names. How to create a sing song loving mantra with music? Everyone's doing it, instantly feels like community. Valgus nerve activates on humming/singing. Discussions also flowed to IFS which seems to be in use for friends child and working very effectively. Identified by use...

Hooking!
I bought a 20 pack of crochet hooks tonight. I can't wait to introduce people to their flow! I'm so excited to teach my first crafting class at my meditation center. I am so grateful to this space and so unbelievably excited to to try to give back by sharing knowledge and my craft. Today we made beautiful sconces using crochet in slab rolls. I may never be able to repay as much as I've received, but I am grateful for a chance to help others shine. I know 2 students that are ready to give it a go at least! 🥰
