Past Mistakes

There is NOTHING more powerful than your,INNER STRENGTH,It is there, even if you don't feel it now, it is there,It can and does CONQUER anything, maybe not in the time frame you would like it to, but IT DOES,Delete all the non sense you have been led to believe about yourself, know who you are, know what you stand for and then

 I could dwell on the past but as one of my counselors said
Depression is Living in the Past
Anxiety is Living in the Future
and Happiness is living in the Now

 Honestly I could let myself stay in a depression, not take my pills, and continue in my downward spiral but what is that really going to teach me?  What will I have gained from this whole experience.  But I have learned that I don't like feeling that way, I LOVE The way I am feeling now, HAPPY, HEALTHY, and FULL OF LIFE, why on earth would I want to go back to being depressed, hopeless, miserable?  I haven't felt this good/happy in a long time and I love this feeling.  It is so amazing. So I have learned from my mistakes, I WILL take my pills every day, I WILL see a psychiatrist and therapist on a regular basis, I WILL talk to my psychiatrist if the side effects of my pills get too much for me.  I WILL use relaxation techniques, I WILL maintain a hobby to keep me busy.  
Here is a poem that one of the counselors shared with us:
When You Change Your Thinking,
You Change Your Beliefs
When You Change Your Beliefs,
You Change Your Expectations
When You Change Your Expectations,
You Change Your Attitude
When Change Your Attitude,
You Change Your Behaviour
When You Change Your Behaviour,
You Change Your Performance
When You Change Your Performance,
You Change Your Life

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?   ...

Describe the routine of a normal day for you:   I wake up at 6:00am, take a shower, get ready for the day, then I go downstairs and feed the critters, and make breakfast for hubby and I.  We usually leave the house by about 7:30ish and I drop my husband off at work.  Then I work (I'm a Pet Groomer) until about 3:30 or 4:00ish then I leave for home and go get my hubby from work.  Then I come home and make dinner, feed the critters, work on cleaning the house a little and we usually head to bed about 8:30ish or 9:00. 85.

🌿 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? Now enter: your Endocannabino...
