Exercises For Life

I started exercising in August of 2022. I began by finding a video of Leaya Cohen doing Tai Chi, and she said that it doesn't matter which exercise you do. It matters that you make it a habit, and after 100 days, you reap the benefits. So I started my journey. 

I did my version of the arm movements, and it tired me out. An hour later, I did some more. I was beginning my eye opening view of my own limitations, but I kept at it. I had some down days, but I made a conscious decision to live. If I kept on the way I was going, I would have died. I wanted so much to thrive. I didn't want to merely exist anymore. 

I maintained doing everything I could to help myself. I changed my diet and became a vegetarian. I started drinking plenty of water. I exercise all day long now. I also get plenty of sleep and relax when I'm tired. 

For breakfast I eat fruit and steel cut oats. For lunch I'll have an avocado and fish on  whole grain bread. I'll have a good dinner with lots of vegetables. I have yogurt everyday for a snack. I've lost over 100 pounds and 8 inches around my waist. I feel terrific and I have so much energy! 

Now, I want to lose another 100 pounds in a healthy manner. I'd like to be 140 pounds in weight. That's good for my joints! I have also gone off diabetes medication because I beat diabetes in a time span of 2 years. Now I'm pre-diabetic. It can be done! 

The old me is long gone. I like the new me much better! What better an excuse than to do it for yourself! 

Now I'm working on my mind, or rather, my Source Energy. I'm manifesting things that are beneficial to me. I make my art and do my writing. I'm working on my memoirs. It will take a while, but I've got all my life to grow and flourish. 

Remember you are important and life is precious. Make this life a good one.

Leona

Leona told her little granddaughter as she rocked her to sleep. The small infant cooed and soon fell into a deep restful sleep. Leona wondered about her daughter, if she was still on the run from that creep who tried to kill her. He had been fine for the most part, well he had been drinking one night, her daughter had told Leona, and he had tried to choke her. Heather was her daughter's name. Leona would rather not say his name, the creep. He didn't matter to Leona. Heather on the other hand still loved her husband like most abused women do, thought Leona. She wished that this tiny baby would never know her father's name, never know anything about him. He doesn't deserve it, Leona thought. Leona had read up on abusive husbands a her. Her daughter told Leona that her abusive husband had done this one night without warning. He nd that they rarely deserved second chances. They never truly stopped their behaviour. Never stopped abusing. She too had been abused early in life

New Gift!

Today I received a wonderful, new gift from my PSW, and family member, Curty. It was something I had recently remarked that I had to get when I could afford it, sometime in the future. He came in and walked up, close to my bed. Curty told me that he'd been to see his friend who had a repair shop. He told his friend that he needed this item for me, as I was bedbound and I needed it for my art making. Curty even showed him a recent photo taken of me with his wife, during a birthday celebration. They talked and Curty soon went outside to his vehicle. He saw his friend leaning up against the entrance to his store, so he went over to him. His friend said, "Here you go. You can give me the money for it when you have it." Curty thanked his friend and got in his vehicle and drove off. Curty then drove with Chris, his lovely wife to my home, to fulfill his duties with me.  He gave me this gift, and I was grateful Curty and to the Creator for giving me the gifts of Curty and Chris

I Got A Grant!!

I recently received a grant from the Ontario Arts Council for a device that enables my art to go to a whole new level and I'm thrilled!! I'm going to use it soon, and it will enhance my art making. I'm making a project with the theme of Intimate Partner Violence and how it effects the brain and body, where trauma stores itself there, and has long lasting effects. Because I didn't talk to anyone for decades after the abuse, it manifested as health problems in my twenties and thirties, that were so severe that I became bed ridden. It also manifested as mental health issues like anxiety disorder and depression. I was also diagnosed with derealization, which is a dissociative disorder that feels like I'm watching a movie of myself unfold. When I am triggered by a disagreement, I numb out and split from my body. I get very quiet and withdraw, cry and feel as though everything is collapsing down around me, and I get extremely depressed and hopeless, like my life amounts t
