5 Steps for Inner Change...uh-huh.

I daydream about making a living selling my purses or necklaces or any other crafted item I put in a shop.

I am centered and focused.

You are what you eat. Exotic and spicy? Natural and bland? Junk?

Release the past and your ATTACHMENT to it.

Yay me! Someone loves me. I love me...but I'd like to love me more.

Me today.

“The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud.”

 I was actually thinking of a quote like this...

 “A women who doesn’t wear perfume has no future.”

 I like perfume and love to wear it, but I have never felt like spending the money it takes to buy the ones I like.

I would like a bottle of Be Delicious by DKNY. I like it, but I can't convince anyone else to like it.

 I need a perfume that squeals "HALLIE!!!" but at half volume.

I Want...

I want to create a "28 Days of Hallie Mama Fashion" layout like the one I saw in this month's issue of InStyle. It was inspiring, but filled with 6 inch stilettos and ugly, ugly clothes. Some of which oddly reminded me of my own closet. Oops. oh well. So I am armed with a thick fashion magazine and two closets full of clothing that seem to do nothing for me. I will take photos of this undertaking.

 Also, my main man was laid off from his job yesterday. A little distressing, but I am not worried. We have talked about worst case scenarios and options so I am prepared. I am looking forward to a downsizing yard sale in this next month. I have nothing of major worth that I am going to sell, but tons of detritus lying around.

The stress is killing us.The stress is killing us.

Depression and crying. The desire to give up on the normal life lost to messy kitchens and unfolded laundry. Lack of sleep for no reason related to children.
My man is a shell of who he once was and it really does appear to be my fault. I mean it. I've ground his positive attitude down to nothing and all that is left is despair.

Scary.

"Voice or no voice, the people
can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That
is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being
attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of
patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."
-- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials

We treated them badly and hope to be forgiven someday. We survived a week of nonstop whining from a breastfeeding 3 year old genius.

After trying every method to stop the noise, astrology was decided on as the helpful cure. I think it might work in this case.

I hope to find a solution to the whining to come in my life that doesn't involve physical violence and water torture.
