Old Habits Die Hard But I'm trying

#MagicWithinme

By #MagicWithinme,

There are things I automatically still do, like pulling the seat back in the truck so I can fit, (even though now, even with it pulled all the way forward there is still room)

going straight to the extra large stuff, in clothing store, (even though I'm down to large/medium) and have no idea on underwear yet, size keeps getting smaller)

I caught myself this morning doing one,

Before I would never wear tops that had tight bottoms, because I knew I would have to struggle, shimmy, yank, stretch to get it over my belly. A wonderful friend of the family has been giving me clothes, saying," you are still young, don't make yourself older, dress like it!" . This morning I grabbed one of these tight bottom tops that she had given me. I slip it over my head and I get ready to start pull , I look down and its already down, no stretching pulling or anything! 
I was so excited... 

** today, I heard not to long ago that it takes years for the mind to catch up with the changing body. Makes sense. And every now and then I do see a glimpse of the new me. Especially when after laundry I'm holding up a pair of pants and ask why the grandbabies stuff is in laundry and hubby says hunny those are yours. Whoops.

Thoughts can become matter, and intuition.  My husband heard snickering, chortles, snorts, ok ok, my kind of person, remarks as I listened to the latest video with Caitlin. (I had my headset on) insights for myself. I hate change, I probably have only had a change of guards (guides) less times than most .but I do feel myself accepting certain changes. We tend to have such a high sense of I've probably had a white lighter for most of my life, self doubt was instilled in my from early on, and as I became stronger, so a stronger white lighter came along each time. They made me feel so guilty when I didn't follow through what they kept putting into my head. so much the guilt would eat at me. I tend to have such a high sense of justice, I question it, but I can't change it. I call myself old school, but its something more isn't it. Truth seeking, soul seeking, dancing with light/sound. Bridges to the beyond.They sound and are accepted as affirmations of myself. I have alwa...

 Been going to al-Anon meetings, as support for my son, who is in a pain right now that nobody can touch but himself and his "girlfriend". Today after two conversations with him, about going to a noon meeting. That I would pick him up and take him. I arranged to take time off, drove across town and he was still asleep. I was angry for a moment, and knew that my anger would only hurt me, I was ready to just go back to work, and thought, no, I took the time off, I can still go to the meeting and I'm glad I did. Listening to the comments of everyone, the sharing of their lives their journey.  Today the conversation was about relationships and the family dynamic. I was listening to one woman talk about her children now, and how she described them, micro-managing, everything has to be exact. How when her babies were born, there was no maternal instinct. It was raise them till they are 18, strong ready to take on the world. Oh, crap that's me! and it hit me, I am the daught...

Never Again

, December 31, 2012 My cousin has been separated from her ex for a few years and she is in her 30’s and she finally decided that it was time to start looking again. As most women, she is very particular of whom she introduces her son too. She has her standards as she calls them. Her friends are always trying to fix her up, start conversations for her. Now my cousin is not shy, just reserved. She was telling us about one occasion recently , she was at a gas station with her friend and her friend was checking out the car next to them on the other side of pump and telling my cousin, hey he’s cute, look nice car. Say something, so after a little bit more encouraging my cousin did. They had a brief conversation as one does when at gas stations. The guy says see you around, gets in his car and leans forward and breathes into a breath analyzer so his car would start! My cousin turns around to her friend and says you a...
