When Life Hands You Lemons...

... Sometimes it's to connivingly squeeze citric acid into the wound lol. Didn't see that one coming did you!?!

Well I'm not being negative today, just noticing that when I have any sort of negative energy, it creates a negative aura around all things until I PURPOSEFULLY put a stop to it.

So last weekend I lost my drivers license. That was zero fun and I'm really not quite sure where I left it. So I decided to carry around my passport, after I went to get my license replacement order done because that's the only other picture ID I have. Well I guess Magic Mike was magical and so was me leaving my purse open, on the ground, during the show bc I'm pretty sure thats where I lost my wallet... With my passport in it. Which I didn't discover until Saturday afternoon when I wanted to buy a coffee.

So! Lessons to be learned? I can't really list good ones here other than to say:  PAY ATTENTION! And I mean more to your mood than to normal life situation.  I get to these places where sometimes, I just lose track of things in general. It's not distraction it's just... I don't know! Maybe it's just me that seems to have big losses like this happen at one time, but I happen to feel like that can't be true. It seems that there's a time in life where you just kind of float for a day or two or a week or two, and this is when things get off track.

It's embarrassing if anything really... Case and point... Explaining to the guy at the store that you want to buy an alcoholic beverage but only have a passport show him... Then thinking am I really using my DAMNED GOVERNMENT ISSUED  passport to get Chardonnay?? Yeah that's kind of crazy.

Anyway as far as progress, canceling and we replacing everything. That's the easy stuff as is getting everything else on track now that my whoopsie is over :)

I always feel like there are a ton of setbacks before the inevitable set up for something amazing to happen. That being said, in 11 days I'll be around a whole heap load of like-minded people where I can pull some positive energy and reset some of the negatives. The rest of it is up to me and if you know me at all you know this girl does not stay down for more than a fraction of a bit of time. Because that place kind of sucks, and that chick is kind of boring. Happy Sunday!

Back to Food Basics

Image
So I did an experiment this week.  I made bone broth and an entire week's worth of mustard/collard greens with that broth. Let me tell you what- Granny had it right -  shoot HAS it right! She's 94 and amazing. I remember thinking this is sooooo not enough food! But I was full after eating something as simple as greens and cornbread. I rarely got sick as a kid... Stayed pretty immune healthy (other than allergies but that's a mile long post). Being in the health and fitness industry, you'll see all kinds of fads go by. Low carb, high protein, gluten free, fat free etc etc. so when I saw the GAPS diet I blew it off. Looking at it closer- it's a back to basics thing. It's how I grew up. It's CHEAP!  My granny grew up in a time where there were no scraps, just opportunities to stretch meals from those extra weird pieces like neck bones, chicken bones, whatever was in the garden.  This isn't a blog about the GAPS diet (highly recommend you research though)  B...

Ongoing Lessons in Life and BALANCE

Hi My name is Jessica and I’m admittedly diagnosed with  ADHD. Watching my feed it’s like, “right. was there a question? You randomly dress in tutus”  However, I’ve always been more than functional with this, but sometimes, or rather for me, one time, it got to be more than I could bear. It takes a transition to get you to re-think and reassess how you approach things and how you react to changes and issues that come about. This is the longest post ever but here we go... The Background  I’m a middle child.    Middle child syndrome set in long ago and I’m definitely a people pleaser, mediator if you will. I love it and sometimes hate it.    I want to be mediated on once in a while! Can someone sorta let me just BE there and NOT be involved in the resolution? The answer is usually no.   Pressing on, I got married a little young, 23 to be exact and proceeded into full Stepmom (two amazing kiddos), wife, worker, grad student, gym go...

Divorce diaries

 this will be a shorter sort of rambling entry. It all matters. With my ex and I called it off, I put up a huge wall and that wall translated into every part of the life I have with my daughter. As much as I thought it didn't matter, kindergarten has been kicking my ass. You read that right my ass. All of it. And I have a big one. And why? Because of that damn wall. We weren't talking. So House on the right didn't know what house on the left was dealing with. It was pretty much awful. But I have seen though is my daughter be someone I didn't know she was, and show me that she's 100 times smarter and more clever than I ever gave her a little clever but credit for. So the diary of a divorcee  starts here…this is the lesson. They're smarter than us. So you got to talk. Kindergarten is getting a little better, actually a lot better. Who the heck learns Mandarin and Spanish , before they get there for teeth? And oh gosh the front teeth. That's another entry 😜… B...
