I refuse to sleep with my niece because we’re both bed hogs and she does some wild things in her sleep so instead of getting kicked in the face we compromised and she got to sleep with my most special of bears!

Today was one of those days that nothing felt good or right. I’m irritable, sad, lonely, and frustrated. But I can’t let that keep me from my daily post. I wasn’t in the mood so I just started dropping paint on my bookshelf and ran some toothpicks through it. I like how it turned out!

I’ve had an EPIPHANY--a shift in perspective, if you will...

After watching the Outlander Season 4 finale, I’ve decided to completely SEPARATE the books from the TV show. I realize now it’s going to be the only way to truly enjoy the TV show. Here’s why...

Last night I decided to try an experiment and watch the finale without having the book in mind at all. And if I didn’t know about the blood oath or Jamie and Claire being there with Brianna when she gave birth, I wouldn’t have missed those things. And I wouldn’t have missed those things because what the writers DID give us, that was different from the book, were also moments of emotion and excitement, such as Brianna running at full speed to be reunited with Roger, and Murtaugh and Jocasta getting it on. I liked those changes from the book, but if I had still been comparing the book to the show, I would have been disappointed that Jamie and Claire weren’t there for the birth of Jemmy. BUT I wouldn’t have been if I hadn’t read the books because I wouldn’t have known those scenes existed. Sooooo, I’m going to practice what I’m coining “book blocking.” From now on, I’m going to consciously try to block the books from my mind and watch the TV show as if it was a brand new tale---which I realize now it actually is. 

The show is “based” on Diana Gabaldon’s novels, it an an “adaptation.” And adaptation implies CHANGE, and to change you have to adapt. Change/Adapt Adapt/Change. Both the words adapt and change connote something NEW. So, my shift in perspective will be that I will no longer expect the TV show to depict the same things that happen in the books, but rather to give me something new, something surprising. And that makes things exciting. Because it’s the unexpected. Starting Season 5, I will look forward to the New, the Unexpected, the Adapted, the Changed because I will be getting something extra, something OTHER than the books. The books will be there forever. I can always go reread them, like visiting an old friend and catching up on old times. Outlander, the novels will never change. But Outlander the TV show, is like a new friend, you have to still get to know her, and you make new memories with her, but it’s an exciting time because you don’t know what’s coming, and that’s exhilarating, or it can be if you let it be. So I’m gonna let it be. And instead of having feelings of disappointment that a certain scene was changed or omitted, I’m not going to think about the books at all and enjoy the TV show for what it is, a new friend to get to know. Can’t wait to see what my new friend does as Outlander Season 5! 

BTW, I’m not saying this is what everyone should do, we all make our own choices as adults. I’m simply posting this because this is what I’m choosing to do and it’s a big relief...for ME. Not everyone will agree or feel the same way...and that’s okay. 

PS. The scene with Jamie, Claire and Roger after they rescue him is what acting dreams are made of. Sam, Cait and Rik showing what SKILLED acting looks like. Gave me chills, made me cry and then smile like a loon at how INCREDIBLE the three of them were in that scene. All the awards. If only...

Have you had one of these moments? You know the ones where you just learned something and you know you will never be the same. These moments are sometimes daunting because they often challenge our comfor zones or current belief systems. We know it hit us, we know it was deep, but we're not exactly sure where it goes from here. These moments are not a choice. They often come without warning and are much more than we are ready for. One of my first experiences of this nature was when my grandmother died. My mother and I lived with her while she suffered from cancer. One early morning my mom woke me and said "something is wrong.". I could hear my Grandmother wheezing heavily. She looked scared and leaned into my mother for help. Although we tried to save her nothing did. My mother and I were helpless as a life at its end was returned to the universe. Being with her, holding her hand, looking into her eyes as she died was a very profound, life altering moment for me that solidified the concept of death and ultimately life. That moment expanded the dimensions of my mind forever. These moments are always happening. The chances to learn and grow are all around. However, they usually come with a price. Sometimes good and sometimes bad, but they come regardless of wether or not your willing to pay. Now that I notice these moments more often I try to embrace new experience. I am comforted that somehow the universe will find me and keep me growing and learning more about this intrepid life. I try my best now to encounter each person as an individual because each of us has learned our own lessons and had our minds expanded by completely unique experiences. What experiences have expanded your mind, never to return to its original dimensions? . . . #life #changing #changed #changeofperspective #changeinperspective #changeyourperspective #perspective #expandyourhorizons #newhorizons #newdimensions #mindexpansion #lifequotes #life #lifealtering #lifechanging #whoarewe #blind #blindness #death #considerthis #newexperiences #beyondtheboundary #beyondtheboundaries #inevitable #lifegoals #biggerthanyou #bigpicture #oneofthosemoments #thinkaboutit #whyarewehere https://www.instagram.com/p/BztP2cUgBta/?igshid=12l0m4mcw7qtw

Diets, fads, short cuts... they all end eventually, and then do you're back at square one. For those of you who don't know my story, let me share the short version with you. I have always been super interested in fitness and am very competitive... ya'll I lived for the day when we would take the presidential fitness test in school. About 8 years ago I stumbled across a pirated stream in #insanity dubbed in chinese and vowed to complete the whole program, which I did, but I ate terribly throughout. The following summer while doing YouTube videos for fitness I was hospitalized with #rhabdo and needed to start my workout life over from scratch. Once recovered. I went to the gym every day for over a year, I was there for at least a hour each time, going before and after work some days. I still barely lost weight. At the end of my rope, I finally gave in to the "cult" that I thought beachbody was. The first official program I completed was 21 day fix extreme, this time I saw huge results... the difference? I was following a designed and tested meal plan, and it changed the way I eat to this day, because it isn't a diet, it is a wholesome correct way of eating. I haven't looked back. Why am I sharing this with you? Because @autumncalabrese has updated that very same meal plan and it launches today. #ultimateportionfix is now available to the public and can be completed with or without a workout program. I'm running a new group dedicated to this nutrition and any of life and it starts on April 1st, the same day the live workouts for #21df and #21dfx launch! #autumncalabrese #mealplan #nodiets #lookingforachange #betterthanyesterday #launchday #dontdiet #changeinperspective #updateyoureating (at Fountain Hill, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvK5R-UFgiR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fbh8ibom8usz

Imagine Being Born in 1990

“It’s too much hassle, have to wear mask, get pass and swab, am losing lots of income,” complains Nida, a woman missing going to office.

I was like Nida, especially at the beginning of Covid lockdowns. Until ... I learned to check and align my perspective.

Lots of people are inconvenienced these days due to the Covid lockdowns. Some won’t cooperate to health protocol. Some mass protest. 

Some even curse the government. Many defy any basic protection measures, such as in the United States and Brazil, which register the world’s biggest cases of spikes and deaths.

I was reading an FB post this morning and joining its suggested imagination exercise. Here it is.

I imagine myself for a moment born in 1900.

At 14 years old, World War I starts and ends with 22 million dead. 

Soon after that, when I’m 18, the Spanish Flu pandemic strikes. It killed 50 million people. When it disappeared, I was 20 years old.

At 29, I survived the global economic crisis that started the collapse of the US New York Stock Exchange, causing massive inflation, unemployment, and poverty.

When I’m 33 years old, Hitler’s Nazis come to power.

At 39, World War II begins and ends when I’m 45 years old with 60 million dead. 

In the Holocaust, 6 million Jews die.

When I’m 52, the Korean War begins.

Then at 64, the Vietnam War begins and ends when I’m 75.

Isn’t that so difficult a lifetime! But I survived several wars and catastrophes.

This year 2020, humanity experiences and enjoys the great advances of science, technology, and comforts of our modern world, amid the new Coronavirus pandemic.

Still people complain a lot. Millions get angry and protest. Even in the mere wearing of masks, they fume.

But we have Internet, cell phones, electricity, food, safe roofs over our heads, even hot water for shower.

None of that were enjoyed by people who existed way back in the 1900s.

Yet humanity survived. 

Amid those dire circumstances, they never lost their determination to survive and thrive.

Thanks for that helpful post I chanced upon this morning.

The post concludes: “A small change in our perspective can generate miracles.”

This Coronavirus pandemic, check and align your perspective.

Humanity is offered another opportunity to create miracles in our lifetime with the right kind of perspective.

The apostle Paul writes, “... I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with no or little means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and getting hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:11-13)
