Ways to Love Yourself

Today I met with my counselor.  We talked about the impending move and how I can use Cognitive Behavior Therapy to make it less stressful.  Talked about how anxiety tapping has helped me and talked about how I tend to internalize things instead of talking about them.  I do tend to do that, I make everything 'my fault' or negative self talking that I love to do so much.  Such as with this move, I keep telling myself we'll never get things done (2 weeks) as the house is a mess because I haven't cleaned it yet, instead of focusing on the awesomeness that we have already gotten accomplished.  We have been working in the basement and pretty much have one side of it done packed and garbage separated.....yes the other side is a lot bigger with all the stacks of everything but we have made loads of progress.  Today I emptied out a couple of tubs, packed up the closet and am working on the kitchen.  Things are going well and there is no need for me to feel anxious about the move.  (Lots of Anxiety tapping here lol).  I am surprised at how well the tapping helps me when I have felt particularly anxious.

So my focus in the next 3 weeks is to LOVE myself, and work on Cognitive Therapy when I start to internalize things and when I start to stress out.  I will say that the last 2 days I have gotten fully dressed and fully put on makeup and dang I'm hot :-)  Yeah that doesn't happen very often where I feel hot, but yep the past couple days I'm feeling very sexy, hot, and beautiful, which has put me in an awesome mood and helped with my energy levels.

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?   ...

Who Are you?

Sunday stealing  Who Are you? Part 7 – It is Over!  Part 7: Self Image 84. 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. What is your greatest strength as a person?   I am a very compassionate and have a big heart 86. What is your greatest weakness?   Interrupting people when they are talking 87.

🌿 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...
