Ego anonymous: a practice
Ego anonymous: a practice -- I think of my "path" in many different ways. This is something I rewrote to work for me. The 12 step program didn't work out for me, but not because of the actual 12 steps which I found deeply inspiring. Unfortunately the people couldn't deal with what I was up against. Just like most of society. In the world of 12 steps as a young woman I was "the constituionally incapable." You know the people that even those in the 12 steps label as hopeless. Ha!
Wonder woman
We are living, walking, talking miracles. Every one of us. Even though I have been insanely and gravely ill for far too many years, the wisdom of my body continually blows me away. What happened to this body was egregious. It is simply doing what it must to survive and heal In a world that left it for dead. I cooperate in awe. My body is wonder woman. So is yours.
Biofilm and such. Chronic illness 101

letting my readers know what is going on
(NEW PAGE/POST Meditation, not all bliss and roses) ... letting my readers know what is going on Hello, this is a brief note to my readers to explain the emails you've been getting. Last year I did a fundraiser so that I could update the site and get better SEO standing on search engines. Many of you helped that happen with donations. Doing the updating actually requires a lot of work and as I update old posts I republish them and you get an email! So that is why a lot of old posts are coming to you. I'm workin on choosing posts that remain timely and useful. I wrote this post to share a page that I just updated because pages don't have an email option. That post is: Meditation, not all bliss and roses it includes a collection of many posts on meditation and mindfulness etc. and some of the issues with such practices that are rarely discussed elsewhere. thanks for reading and please be in touch sometime. I don't really know who you all are anymore. Social media has changed a lot. Oh...there is a facebook page too if you're interested.
