Is your life everything you want it to be?

Wow! What a powerful statement. And so true. My thoughts are what got me into this latest mess, and my lack of communication with my husband (which I am working on). I am working on the house today some more, little by little it is getting cleaner, and one day it will be CLEAN. I am going to use FLYLady's techniques to keep it clean. http://www.flylady.net/d/getting-started/ She has some awesome ways to break it down and keep it more manageable and yes, I have attempted to use her methods SEVERAL times and I have always failed because I gave up, or didn't make it a priority to keep it going. This time it is for REAL and I am going to keep it going. I HAVE To, I am so tired of tripping over containers or having to squeeze by in the kitchen because I have stacks of garbage etc. Yes I am putting it all out there. Yesterday Rob and I filled his trunk and his back seat with garbage sacks that were waiting to go out. I will admit I HATE taking out the garbage, hate it with a passion.....garbage is my nemesis, but I HAVE to start taking it out more regularly. It's not good to just let it pile up like I do. So my plan is to take a bag or two out each morning when I leave for work (I go back on Wednesday and I am so stinking excited), I miss my job and I miss the dogs at the shop, and I miss Ted. He's one of my bosses and is so amazing. He's a paraplegic, and he is so strong, he's taking care of his wife (who is my other boss) who is dying of stage 4 cancer, she's going blind due to diabetes, and he is in a wheelchair, yet he comes down to the shop each day to help me with the dogs/grooming. Such a strong guy. It must be super hard for him. I am glad that I am able to run to Baskin Robbins and get my friend Susan her 'baseball nut' icecream that she is craving. Not just because Ted buys me an icecream for going since it's hard for him to with the wheelchair, but I truly feel blessed to be able to help her out and make her day.

Saturday 9: Good Morning, Heartache

Trying another new thing called Saturday 9, it can be found here: http://samanthasaturday9.blogspot.com 1) Do you come up with your brightest ideas early in the morning or late at night? I would say that I am most creative later in the evenings 2) Are you more likely to feel romantic at night or in the morning? Depends on the day :-), but usually at night 3) Do you shower in the morning, after work or before bed? I shower in the mornings, it helps wake me up 4) Billie Holiday was just 44 when she died. Is there an artist whose early demise surprised and saddened you? Not an artist but Heath Ledger's death really shocked me and took me by surprise. He is one of my all time favorite actors. 5) Billie was known as "Lady Day." Do you have a cool nickname? (If not, feel free to give yourself one right now.) No cool nicknames, as a kid I was "Woodie or Fruitcake".....don't ask LOL 6) When was the last time you had the blues? ...

🌿 CBD and Hormones: What Every Woman Should Know

Posted in The Wellness Den | June 14, 2025 Let’s be real: being a woman comes with a lot of hormonal ups and downs. Mood swings. Fatigue. Bloating. Brain fog. Anxiety. Sleep issues. And don’t even get me started on the perimenopause rollercoaster. Whether you’re in your 20s or late 40s (like me!), hormones influence everything —your energy, mood, digestion, skin, cycle, and emotional balance. But here’s something most women don’t hear enough: CBD can help. Not as a magic pill or miracle cure—but as a powerful tool that supports your body’s natural rhythms and helps bring balance when everything feels off. 💛 What Happens When Hormones Are Out of Whack? When estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, or thyroid hormones get thrown off, you may feel: Anxious or irritable Wired but tired Struggling with sleep or concentration Sluggish digestion or metabolism Cravings, mood dips, and PMS from another planet Sound familiar?
