Update

Hey everybody,

I hope everyone is well.

Having a few issues and hoping for some kind words and positive energy and since what goes around comes around it will all be returned to you!

I want to start this by saying that I am working to be as positive as I can and have made Enormous Changes in my thinking and behavior and sometimes just get discouraged because it looks like what I want still isn't manifesting. Sometimes I just need others to validate that I am doing the right things and things are as they should be. Anyhow I believe the last part and in Divine Timing but sometimes it is hard to believe or trust that.

So anyhow, my almost 14-year-old cat Daffy (8/1) had another bout of something (we don't know what caused it) that caused her to scratch her ears, face (especially around the eye) and chin until it bled. I kept putting virgin organic coconut oil on it because it heals everything and then she reopened it on another area. I finally took her to the vet Fri. although it was much better but had started to bleed again and I was worried about her eye which she only had about 1/2 open. They checked her ears which don't have infection Thank G-d (she just got over one) and put some dye in her eye to check it and said no scratch in it Thank G-d and couldn't figure out what it was. She is already dealing with asthma, kidney disease and slow gut motility so she has to have mineral and canola and now coconut oil daily to help her poop along with 2 very expensive meds (one for the gut and one for the breathing). I had to charge another $113 and I am already in debt and it scares me that I am at my age still living paycheck to paycheck. I pray a lot, do a lot of energy healing work and set positive intentions. But still it is a struggle and I am so DONE WITH struggling. Issues at work too and a lot changing in my life.

I took my last 5HTP last night (OTC) for pain and sleep and depression. I don't like the side effects and figure after 7 years my brain should have made enough new neural connections to be better by now! LOL! I also don't know how much it helped, sometimes did and sometimes not. I still have daily pain, little sleep and don't feel rested and am hit by bouts of fatigue that seem to come out of nowhere as well as emotional mood swings. I have started a Buddhist chanting method and a Tai Chi class and try everything that I hear about that seems worthwhile. I drink Kefir and eat coconut oil for detoxing.

I also have been divorced for almost 6 years and thought I'd be married by now. I want to be! I have had enough of living alone and dating and want my life partner. I am very grateful for what I have and daily thank G-d and try to focus on what it is good but being human (LOL I GUESS!) I still have down times and want to get rid of them. I am also working with a Life Coach to try to help with goals, including getting a book I am writing published when the money manifests. I do have a wonderful guy in my life who lives about an hour and a half away due to traffic and so I only see him once a week but we email every day. The thing is he doesn't want anything serious so I have to deal with that too.

So I feel better now and thanks for letting me vent.

HUGS TO EVERYONE!

AND if anyone is in the Atlanta area I am doing a workshop on EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) an energy psychology method that also helps with pain and you can use it on everything (emotional, mental and spiritual). It is like Acupuncture WITHOUT needles (you tap instead) and it is also on mindfulness. It is on Aug. 18 at the Phoenix And Dragon from 1:30-3:30 for $20 at the door or $15 ahead of time. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. If anyone lives near here and is interested in attending, call them. I am doing this to earn money to publish my book which is a children's book about angels and for helping kids increase self-esteem and heal. It was originally to help abused kids but is for all children.

Thanks again for the ears and shoulders and as I heard in a workshop recently, For holding my basket while I got it out!

My goodness, Susan - you have really been working hard and I’m so proud of you! Staying positive is something one has to work at when the pain and all smacks us in the face. Like you said - what goes around comes around and I think you’re on your way to making your dreams come true.

Having a pet get sick really pulls at ones heart strings - they’re our babies and yours is there to give you the love back that you give her.

Wish I lived closer because I would surely attend your workshop! Again - so proud of you !!!

healing hugs to you~ Sandi :slight_smile:

Hello Susan

You are staying positive. I am sorry about your pet they mean so much to us. Just wanted you to no I enjoyed your post and think you are doing wonderful. I hope your workshop goes good. Keep us posted on the book publishing. Hugs to you.

Thanks so much Sandi! It is still hard to ask for support and not feel like I am just complaining!

Susan

Thanks purplebutterfly! Butterflies are one of my favorite creatures! It means a lot to have support and usually when I am trying too hard (old story) I think I am not trying hard enough because some issues (well several to be honest) are still there although I know I am healing on a deeper level now and am so different then I used to be. Old song second verse with thinking I have to be perfect although intellectually of course I know not.


Hugs back!

Susan

I just want to thank everyone on this site for being so kind and supportive. Angel blessings to all of you!

Susan

It is not complaining - it’s venting so we don’t explode or sharing to release the burden, as so many of us go through the same thing. I’m so glad you realize there isn’t any need to be perfect, though most if us seem to be that type “a” personality and strive to be the best we can be. The hardest part is to keep it from roaring its ugly head! Staying positive like you are working so hard at is so much better than trying to be perfect. I’m going to think of you whenever a negative thought comes my way. I’m going to embrace your energy!!!

You are sweet Sandi and that makes me feel better. Thank you!

Susan
