NVC... Does it Work? in Journal
I read about NVC (Nonviolent Communication) as a resource in a natural parenting book. So I booked DH (bless him, even though he complained the WHOLE time, lol) and I for a beginners couples clas...
What is Normal? in Journal
I’m not sure that Normal exists… I’ve never met a Normal person. Sure, there are people that fall within every average parameter. But how did they get there? Surely by no Normal means, and I’ll ...
Officially Quitting in Journal
After writing that entry about trying to quit coffee, I became curious about how bad it really might be and… decided to quit for good. All in all… it’s not that bad. On average the body can easi...
Childhood, cont'd. in Journal
Bad parents create lifelong children. Ain’t that the heart, liver, and soft yellow underbelly of it. I had a personal revelation a couple weeks ago. If you’re interested, I shared it- it’s prett...
Dream Fairy in Dreams
I don’t know how old I am, but age is irrelevant to me. It seems that people take their age so seriously. They take many things seriously, but that makes it fun to play with them. At least it wa...
I just really love Judo in Journal
Possibly, because it’s difficult. Possibly, because it’s a mutual sport; you can’t do Judo by yourself. (lol) Possibly because I’m good at it. One of the most deeply satisfying feelings in the w...
Trying to stop.... in Journal
Drinking coffee. DH and I are TTC (trying to conceive). AND… coffee is really bad for fertility. Or, more specifically, caffeine is bad for fertility. But, I can’t stop. Worse, I’m really not ...
um... What? in Journal
I feel like the world is devolving into some kind of funhouse musical horror seseme street of feel-good narcissism. A grown adult woman whom I respect (older than moi) posted this article along ...
Why Should I? in Journal
Like a petulant child talking back to his less than fully respected mother. Exactly like that. The problem of parenting has never hit me so squarely in the face until now. Now that I’m married ...
Maybe I am Rude... in Journal
I’m not sure I can help it. Yesterday, while actively checking out in the grocery with DH, a woman behind us pipes up and asks “Does that random brand haven orange flavor?” I look up to see wh...
Yes, I'm judging you. in Journal
At least I openly admit and accept it. Value judgment is part of how humans perceive the world, and so it is impossible not to judge. No matter how open minded you think you are. You see, judgm...
Do you believe in God? in Journal
A woman that I met for the second time in my life asked me yesterday. The question caught be off guard- not because it isn’t a good question, or because the answer wouldn’t have deep meaning or ...
How F'ing Lazy Are you People? in Journal
So maybe it’s just me, but it really annoys the F#ck out of me when.... People come to a public forum with all sorts of asinine people, like FB, and ask for information or opinions about what to...
In the Wood in Dreams
I was a… I’m not sure. Some kind of wood fairy I think. But I looked and acted like a human female of indeterminate age. I did live in the wood, and there were others like me, although I seemed s...
I'm feeling bitter. in Journal
and I’m pretty sure why. MIL pulled a fast one on DH and I the week before we went on vacation. It kind of sucked pretty hard because MIL and FIL were going to be part of the vacation- just to s...
The Sky Today in Journal
made me think of how f’d up the weather has been. Little backstory. I’m a small farmer. I became disenchanted with the whole deal in my 2nd or 3rd year, after yet another aridly dry summer that...
Mother's Day- and an unpopular opinion in Journal
This isn’t a justification; it’s just how I feel. Saturday DH had a short discussion about Mother’s day plans. I told him my plans- which had to be completed by 11am and couldn’t be moved- and s...
Relationships in Journal
What are they? Recently I’ve come to the realization that they are not what I thought they were. Threats. Obedience. Force. Punishment. Exchange of goods or services. Appeasement. My entire li...
It's been awhile... in Journal
It really has. A lot has happened since I last came here. I’ve changed a lot. Reading back to previous entries always amazes me. I’m forever pleasantly surprised at my own ability to articulate...
As far as I can recall my dream, I am a youngish girl, without much care in the world except for my pets. I have a few of them; a dog, a cat, and some other farm type animals. My family provides ...
Fucking hate the government. in Journal
Yep. You’ve read it and there it is. I can begin to delineate my personal experiences with said entity, but it’s overreach is felt by everyone, no doubt. Even those supposedly beyond it’s control...
My neighbor the dickhead in Journal
I’m venting here, obviously.
On Becoming.. in Journal
My senses are sharp. They relay to me the exquisite sensations of the world. I revel in the cold sting of chilled running water, and the warmth that blooms in my skin afterward. My eyes seem to p...
I found my totem in Journal
It wasn’t very difficult. I suppose we all already know what our totem is already, but we’ve just never really brought it to the forefront of our consciousness. Because, I think, it’s always ther...
Wow. We have clouds again. I marked my calendar the day that they stopped spraying those godawful geoengineering trails. It was May 18th that the first clear day was seen over my house in at lea...
