Psychic

Brene must be a mind-reader. Because this post she wrote...this honest, gut-wrenching, completely raw post is exactly my life right now. I am bluer than blue. Praying desperately for a way to climb out of the pit. Hanging on by a thread. Crying at the drop of a hat. Unable to find my smile.

I love Brene's truth. And, I love how she's not afraid to be real.

I love people who can be real.

And, Brene, if it's remotely comforting at all...you are not alone. I'm right there with ya.

I'm not sure about misery, but after reading this I can tell you that truth loves company. There's something going on. I'm not sure what. I got a message from our good friend D yesterday and it was the same.

Here's to good friends in struggle. May we always remember that we're not alone.

If I was there, I'd pray, hang, cry and hunt smiles with you.

Wow! So nice to hear I'm not alone! I just was saying to another mom this morning, I wish everyone in my house could leave for a couple days and just give me a MOMENT to catch my breath!

Thank you for sharing and know so many are there w/you! If there is one thing that has stuck w/me so far on this " A New Earth" Oprah book/online course, is to just allow yourself to "yield" to what is happening and accept the situation, feelings, whatever and THEN you are able to let go a bit, and find a way out in its own time...

So, so true. I'm hoping blue skies and some green grass will lift my spirits. But today it's grey and snowing. I'll try to find beauty in that too.

Right there with you!

This is why I have not posted in 3 or more weeks! I felt as if I would be the voice of gloom with no good cheer to deliver! I do think there is something going on also because many of my friends are in the same FUNK!!!! Just yucky, no warm butterfly feelings! Nothing brings a permanent smile! I hope you find comfort and are back to being you soon! Mendy

I don’t know anything about this site. Came across it while searching for something having to do with psychology, moods, and rhythms. We know that as women we are particularly sensitive to cycles. It seems interesting and may provide some relief!

Current forcast according to the phase of the moon:

"The Earth’s atmosphere continues to be buffeted by strong Solar winds that have caused attractive auroral displays. It is also our contention that increased geomagnetism that results from this Solar activity is sufficient to have discernible effects upon humans. Below is a description of the likely effects of increased Solar wind that was published in the previous alert bulletin.
Over the last few days there has been a noticeable jump in geomagnetic activity that follows an upsurge in Solar activity and a strong Solar wind. Sometimes this can result in poor concentration with varying degrees of mental confusion, or chaotic thinking. It can also lead to increased irritability with definite physical symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, or neuralgic complaints and maladies. These also include nausea, toothache and headache possibly accompanied by intense fatigue or tiredness with the sensation of being washed out and exhausted. It should however be warned that these symptoms wear off relatively quickly, and if persisting for more than a day or two or likely to be of some other origin."

i can totally relate. I love how real you are too Jen. I think honesty is the greatest inspiration in life. I look for it in every artform. And it's what makes people interesting. We're always wondering if we're the only ones. We're not. And people like you help us learn, or re-learn that important lesson. We are beautiful, flaws and all. That's been on my mind a lot lately. Making friends with all the things that make me human.
thank you for your post. you are brave and wonderful, and INSPIRING.
