I’m Back Baby!

Good Afternoon,


I hope you are having a good day. Today’s been interesting to say the least. Good thing/Bad thing, I slept late. Good because I got the sleep I needed. I have recently started to stop sleeping with my Apple Watch. I thought I was doing a good thing by tracking my sleep, but it turns out it was notifying me for everything. Sometimes it was even telling me to close my ring by going for a brisk 15 minute walk at 2 am. Having not worn it for a few days now I am starting to think I don’t need it.


Bad, because I am completely thrown off my morning routine. Usually when I come down in the morning that house is completely quiet. Of course it is why would anyone be up at 6 or 7 am if they didn’t have to. But it turns out if I don’t get that quiet time in the morning it sets up my day to be as smooth.


Determined to not let it get in the way of having a great day I completed Day 5 of the 7 Day Beginners Guide to Meditation. It was much harder to shut off my brain later in the day. But overall I’d say it was a success. It seems that all of my hard work with meditation and counseling is working.


Finished week 7 (should only be on week 3) of my Creative Writing certificate. I’ve really enjoyed this course, because it has finally started to draw out of me my first novel. So even though I am not doing the class every day like I should, I’m still very far ahead.


As you may have noticed I started a new blog. I did not feel the new direction I have taken fits the content of either of my existing blogs. As per usual, not sure where this is going or for how long I will keep it up. One of the things I am working on is follow through. It is one of the things I am focusing on when I am meditating. I want to finish my novel and I want to keep this blog going. So we’ll see.


Anything you guys want me to talk about? Anything you want me to share about my journey please let me know. I hope that by sharing what I am learning you’ll learn something to. Now I just need to build up the courage to go take my first Samurai Sword class. It’s something I’ve always wanted to learn and found a class near me, so I keep toying with the idea of checking out a class.


Oh and by the way I’m back on Facebook baby! Hopefully a much calmer and more zen version of myself.


See ya

No Longer Frustrated… Part 2

Good Morning, So sure enough the alarm was set for 6:30 am to get my son to work. Woke up at 5:40 am. I tried for a few minutes to go back to sleep, but after about 15 minutes I figured it was no use. So I started to get ready for my day. Now, I will say I do feel like I got a good night's sleep and I don’t remember waking up any other times, so that is good. I figured with having such a relaxing day I would have no trouble falling and staying asleep. So as I mentioned yesterday Allie and I were both having a Reiki session at a place just blocks from our house. I have to say I am having mixed feelings about my experience. For one my experience at the Ren Faire was much different than the one we experienced yesterday. That is not to say yesterday was bad. It was just different. At the Ren Faire she told us which ones were blocked and why they may be blocked and also gave solutions as to how to keep them open.  Another thing was that according to yesterday my Crown, Third Eye and Thr...

Getting Better (All The Time)

“Me used to be angry young man Me hiding me head in the sand You gave me the word, I finally heard I’m doing the best that I can.” -Lennon/McCartney Good afternoon, Kinda like the idea of song titles and quotes to begin each post. Especially if I can find one that fits my mood, which shouldn’t be too hard, right? What does seem to be hard is writing this post, so I’m going to just start writing. Didn’t get a great night of sleep, but it doesn’t seem to have affected my mood. Counseling session went well and he agreed to keep it every other week. Now interestingly when discussing my near break down last weekend he said next time to try tapping on my chest to calm myself.  Ironically this is something the healer at the Ren Faire mentioned to me as a way to calm myself when I felt myself being triggered. She even went as far as to write down the gentleman's name and the name of the program (of course I lost the paper). But I remember that I subscribed to it on YouTube, so I am going t...
