Ok, I tried my best. Mostly fluff with some angst. It is my first fic for this fandom and my first piece of fictional writing in about 6 years. I hope it's to your liking :)

Word count: 1,565

Characters: Scorpia(Shera), Perfuma(Shera), Horde Prime(Shera) ((mentioned))

Fandom: Shera Princesses of Power

Fighting in a war was HARD. Scorpia didn't think it would end, or that she would catch a break. It was even more work she had to get through when Catra took over Shadow Weavers place. Now, don't get her wrong, she loves and forgives Catra for what happened, and understands why she treated her the way she did. But it still was… difficult to work for her. To be truthful, scorpia didn't really want to be in the horde from the beginning. She trusted her grandfather in his decisions to join with the horde, but lord hordak didn’t seem to have her kingdom's best interest in mind at any time. 

    The war is over now. It's kind of hard to believe. Scorpia thought she would fight in the war and then die like her moms and the rest of the people behind her have. But, she made it. She has her whole life infront of her, just waiting for her to take it by the hand and live the way she's dreamed since she was a child.

    Going through a war taught Scorpia to never take things for granted and to never miss out on opportunities. So, to start her new life, she's going on a picnic. Not just any picnic, a picnic with the most beautiful and radiant girl in all of Etheria. Perfuma.

    Just thinking about her gives her unbridled hope for a future. A future with Perfuma in it. Perfuma was one of the first people to show her actual kindness. Even though she didn't really like the kindness she gave, those vegetables still make her cringe, it was kindness nonetheless. Scorpia thought she almost lost Perfuma when she was chipped, she thought she had lost herself too. But it was Perfuma that helped bring her back. The thought of even hurting Perfuma made her upset in many ways and, luckily, kept her horde prime controlled mind from actually committing the act of hurting her.

    Shaking her head as if to shake out those thoughts, scorpia goes through a list of picnic items she needs. Blanket: check. Basket: check. Food other than ration bars: check. Now all she needed was the fruit juice that some people in plumeria. She thought she put it in the cabinet with the other gifts from her friends' kingdoms but she couldn’t find it. Remembering that she put it in the cooler to keep it from spoiling. Grabbing the bottle of juice and putting it in the basket she checked the time and decided to be a little early to pick Perfuma up.

    Walking into Plumeria was like a dream. Giant trees of all kinds covering some places like canopies. Gardens and fields of flowers were everywhere you looked. The houses even looked to be growing from the ground up, made from sturdy wood and covered in moss and ivy vines. All around her were people communing and children running around playing with frogs, bugs and plenty of other animals they seemed to befriend. Some were gardening, some played music and plenty of them were eating. The fruit they grew she could understand eating, but the vegetables? No, just, no.

    Scorpia loved coming to Plumeria, for plenty of reasons. Yes, this is the home of Perfuma, her girlfriend, but the people there… liked her. Even though she was with the horde, even though she was a Scorpioni Princess and didn’t look like them. They liked her. It was weird to be liked, when Perfuma said that she wanted to be with her, Scorpia was kind of confused. Because, yes of course she liked and wanted to be with Perfuma, Perfuma is amazing, but why would she want to be with Scorpia? It was hard in the beginning to accept the love Perfuma gave to her, but she's getting the hang of it.

    “Scorpia! You’re early.” Perfuma said with a smile as she hugged Scorpia around the waist. 

    Letting go of her, Scorpia sat the basket down on a branch beside her, “I had everything ready so I thought I would just go ahead and see if you were done with your duties today.” Scorpia grinned at her girlfriend as she listened to what she had done that day and the problems she faced. 

            Scorpia watched Perfuma animatedly talk about the still remaining issues in her kingdom. She's thinking about having a spiritual and mental healing class for the people who fought in the war. Scorpia thought wouldn't be such a bad idea to go herself. She also talked about the good outcomes. About how families are growing and more babies are being born. Scorpia lingered on the thought of a baby, she found she wasn't opposed to it.

           When Perfuma was done with small tasks she had to finish before she could leave and was done talking about her day, she grabbed Scorpias claw, "Are we ready?" She grinned up at Scorpia with gleam in her eyes. Scorpia thought for a sec, tilting her head bland touching her chin with her other claw in mock contemplation. 

          She smiled back at Perfuma, a real, genuine smile, full of love and adoration, "Yes, we are."

         They decided to walk to their destination, it wasn't far, a small hill in Plumaria. They walk in silence for the most part hand in claw. Perfuma will occasionally hum a song, or sing the words when she remembers them. Scorpia doesn't really know any of the songs she sings l, but she thinks they are beautiful. Especially since Perfuma is singing them. 

        When they reach their destination Perfuma lays down the blanket while Scorpia gets the food and drinks out. When everything is set Scorpia gives Perfuma a smirk with a mischievous glint in her eyes, Perfuma gives her an identical look. Perfuma runs to her girlfriend and jumps, Scorpia catches her in her arms and spins her around twine before falling onto their picnic set up.

         Both giggling and clutching to each other they spill the juice. They both freeze and look at the wasted juice. 

         "Dang, I was looking forward to that." Perfuma giggles at Scorpia remark.

         "I'm sure we can get you some more," she lays down on Scorpias chest and she hugs her waist with a claw. "Later though." Even though Scorpia can't see her face the smile is audible in her words.

         They sit there for a few moments enjoying each other's company and the comfort from the other. After a while thought has a thought that won't leave her. She contemplates not saying anything, but Perfuma has told her that if something bothers her or if she's upset about something to tell her.

         "Um, Perfuma?" She's hesitant, maybe hoping she didn't hear her or maybe afraid of getting ignored or shut down.

         "Yeah?" She doesn't seem to notice her hesitance to speak, or if she does she doesn't mention it.

         "You said that if something upsets me to tell you, right?" She holds her closer to let her know it's not about her.

         "I did say that. Is something upsetting you?" She snuggles closer to Scorpia loosening the nerves in her stomach.

         "Well, I uh, have been having these dreams." The memory of the night before fades into her head and she takes a deep breath.

         "Scorpia? What is it?" Perfuma asked, concerned about where this is going.

         "I keep having dreams of when I was with Horde Prime. When I was, you know… bad." Scorpia grimaces at the thought. Perfuma just looks at her with expectance and patience.

         Scorpia avoids eye contact with the smaller women as she prepares to tell her.

          "I uh, I can remember when I was chipped. When I tried to hurt you…" Scorpia takes another deep breath while closing her eyes. Trying not to go back to that.

          "I know I didn't actually hurt you, but in the dreams… I do. Hurt you that is." She looks back at her girlfriend and the look she gets makes her swallow around the sudden emotion in her throat.

         "I wake up in the middle of the night from these bad dreams." She shifts closer to her face and is practically laying on top of Scorpia. Wrapping claws around her she tried to finish telling her how she felt but instead of words, a small squeak came out of her mouth.

          She takes another deep breath and try's again. "I'm really big and strong, and I have these pincers! I'm afraid that.. that I'll hurt you some day." She sighs as she closes her eyes, waiting for some kind reprimand or insult. Knowing it wont come from Perfuma.

          "Scorpia, look at me." She touches her cheek to meet her eyes.

          "You are the most gentle person I know. You are loving and caring, and I know you would never hurt me. Pr anyone for that matter." She looks at scorpia with so much sincerity it almost hurts. "I trust you scorpia." 

          Scorpias face turns surprized, then she smiles at her lovingly. Perfuma leans up to her to place a lingering kiss on her lips. Perfuma lays back down on her chest. Both of them smiling, food forgotten,

          After a while when Scorpia thinks Perfuma is asleep, she dares to whisper, "Thank you. I love you." She closes her eyes not expecting a response. Finally feeling better and at peace.

 

         "I love you too."

Recently I decided I was gonna take a break from reading reversal. The energy would really stress me out while I was reading them!! But today Im feeling called back to reading them, idk why. I'm just gonna go w it!

Energy of the Day: The Star!! This card is really important to me, especially today, because personally Ive been feeling like I want to give up? I went on Facebook for the first time in a long time and saw people I went to school w doing so well. Theyre going to these amazing colleges and getting these degrees and having BABIES!! Like making humans and getting married and buying houses! And it really got to me because I was feeling like I havent accomplished any of those things so I was feeling like a failure. Iont even have a job right now lol. I digress. Anyways, I talked to a friend today and she gave me the pick-me-up I needed. She reminded me that its okay to feel low and out of it, that these take time. That we have to take these things one day at a time. Her words were like a beacon of hope to me. Back to the cards lol. Let the Star come to you as a light in darkness. Let this card come to you as hope. This card comes after the Tower, a huge uprooting of some kind. Its a reminder that you can wish upon a star and have dreams come true. You just have to have that faith, you just have to have that hope that something good will come up, despite what you may have gone through. This card wants you to find something you believe in, even if its just yourself. A belief in yourself can take you far and bring you gifts you never thought you would have. This card shows the water bearer, a symbol of Aquarius!! It brings on a dreamer and bigger picture type of energy. An air sign, Aquarius reminds us of the power of our minds. In this situation, youre being asked to remember your own power! Your mind is a beautiful thing and although it may not always feel like it, it can bring you so many amazing gifts. Overall, this card is reminder to have faith that brighter times are coming, to set your sights on them, and to hold tight. Anything is possible.

Energy to focus on: Three of cups rx. This card shows 3 people dancing and celebrating. I like to think, what w the fruits and vegetables around them, theyre celebrating a bountiful harvest. W this card being in reverse, it pulls me to feel that now would be a good time to go inward and celebrate your victories on your own. Especially w us being in quarantine, we cant see our loved ones the way we want. Now would be a good time to spend time w yourself and go over what youve accomplished this far. Theres nothing wrong w keeping your successes to yourself right now. Another message here is to find things to celebrate. You got up this morning? You had water? Something to eat? Its important to find little successes in your day to keep you going. No matter how small they might seem, they add up and can help you to feel better. So yeah maybe your friend may not know you had brushed your teeth today, but you know and that knowledge builds up! Today, focus on your victories both big and small. And treat yourself because of them!

Avoid: the High Priestess rx. Not listening to your intuition! Your intuition and inner self are speaking to you daily, but are you listening? Have you created a space of silence to listen? Right now theres a message trying to get across to you, but for whatever reason your listening or are unable to listen. Try to find five minutes to sit w yourself and listen in on what its trying to say. A reminder tho. Your intuition will come in clearly, and w/out scare tactics. It wont come in with a wave of negative emotions or w a harsh tone. It wont try to control you w fear, itll be a clear voice or feeling on what to do next. Remember, you already have all the know how and guidance w/in you. You just have to get to a place where you can trust it. Spending time in meditation can help. And like I know meditation can be hard sometimes like I cant really sit still in the silence w my mind all the time. But you can find other ways to meditate! Like exercising, creating art, listening to music and allowing it to over take you, taking a nap can even help. Did you know you can also just ask for intuitive guidance outloud or in silence and it'll come to you? It can come in many ways too! It can come from a show, a song, a book, a word from a friend, etc. When Spirit want to bring you a message, it works in miraculous ways to bring it to you. But you have to listen for it. All that to say, your intuition wants to bring you a message but you have to be willing to listen. Look into that today.

Congrats if you made it to the end lol. Take what resonates and leave the rest 💖💫

bts scenario: you’re a single parent. (F) - Maknae Line

Jimin:

Your sister worked at the BigHit building, and unfortunatley needed you to come and pick her up because her car had broken down and was in repairs. You obviously agreed to get her but did not have time to arrange a babysitter, so had to bring your 3 year old child along with you.

You arrived fairly quickly, but accidently left your phone behind, so you had to actually enter the building to retrieve your sister. After answering a few questions as to what you were doing at the building, you managed to park and get inside rapidly to avoid the rain. Not realising you had dropped your car keys on the way. That was, until, a stranger called after you, with your car keys in his hands.

‘Excuse me, I think you may have dropped these.’

You turned your head to see where the voice came from, only to have your breath taken away at the sight of the most beautiful man you had ever seen.

‘Mummy/Daddy, your starting at the nice man, do you want him to be my daddy?’

Your child spoke as quietly as they could, causing a pink tint to appear on both yours and Jimins cheeks as you laughed to try and hide how embarrased you actually were.

‘Oh, um, th-thankyou. You’re a real life saver...’

‘Jimin.’

‘Well Jimin, thankyou very much. I would’ve had a melt down if I had lost these.’

Just as this conversation began, you were informed by an employee that your sister was running late by 30 minutes, and that to save time, you should just hang around in the near by coffee shop. You thanked the employee for telling you before turning to Jimin to say goodbye, but before you had the chance he spoke,

‘It seems like we all have some free time, may I join you both for coffee? If this little trouble maker wont point us out for staring at eachother that is?’

Jimin chuckled whilst poking your childs nose, as all three of you left for the coffee shop, already deciding that you would love to spend more time together.

Taehyung/V:

You were at a farmers market with your child, mindlessly walking along together as you both picked out an arraye of different fruits, cheeses and vegetables together. It was something you both loved to do together, but what you didnt expect was for your daughter to straight up hand an apple over to a stranger, asking him whether he thought it was shiney enough to eat.

‘Do you think this apple is too shiney? or just shiney enough? I don’t want my tummy to start shining because that wouldn’t be a good look.’

You (as quickly as possible) grabbed back onto your daughters hand, before apologising to the gorgeous man, explaining to him that your daughter is far to curious for her own good, and that she meant no harm.

‘I’m Taehyung, don’t worry about it, and if you ask me, that apple is just the right amount of shiney.’

The man spoke, bringing a bright smile to both you and your daughters faces. Your daughter thanked the man before munching away on her newly beloved apple, as you and Taehyung casually converesed between eachother. Which somehow led to the three of you spending the rest of the morning together, walking through the market and eating plenty of foods together.

Eventually as the morning ended, you bid your fairwells, it wasn’t untill you reached your home, that you daughter decided to speak up.

‘Mummy/Daddy, Tae-tae told me to give you this safely.’

Your daughter handed you over a very, very shiney apple, with a paper attached to it, with his phone number a smiley face. And you obviously messaged him right away, silently hoping he would want to see you again. Which, gladly he did, and you both couldn’t have been any happier about it.

Jungkook:

You had taken your 5 year old son to the arcade, considering it was his favourite place to be, and you had they weekend off of work. It had all started out great, untill you went to get more counters for the games, turned around and saw your son attempting - what seemed to be - bribing a man into getting him to win a game of the claw machine, because your son really wanted a Eevee teddy.

You watched this with wide eyes, as you paced over to the pair of them, silently hoping this wouldn’t be all that embarrasing. But also slightly shook at the fact your son had walked off without your awareness.

‘Y/c/n! You should never walk off like that, I was so worried about you for a second, never leave mummy/daddy like that okay?’

‘I’m sorry Mummy/Daddy, I just wanted this man to win me an Eevee teddy, You’re no good at these games!’

Your son spoke with an innocent face, even though his words were spoken like a savage, little angel. You tried to hide your ammusement behind a scowel, but failed miserabley. Accidently letting out a slight laugh. So you decided to apoligize to the man your son had bothered instead.

‘Okay, I’m going to pretend I’m not offended, I’m so sorry about him, he can’t seem to help himself. Have a nice day though!’

You rushed the sentances before walking away, mostly in shame. The man seemed so kind and handsome that you couldn’t bare any awkward conversations - and just hoped that he wasn’t silently judging you. Around 20 minutes later, you seemed to have forgotten the whole claw-machine ordeal, mainly because you were having a wonderful time with your son. But you were quickly brought back to the incident, when the man called Jungkook, gentley tapped on your shoulder.

‘I won your son this, I hope he likes it, I’m Jungkook by the way, and don’t worry, I’m sre your not all that bad at the claw machine.’

Jungkook flashed a cheeky smile, whilst holding up the Eevee toy, watching as your son gasped in delight, quickly snatching the toy whilst giving Jungkook many thankyou’s and praises. Which only made Jungkook’s smile grow.

You and Jungkook watched your son over the next hour, as he played with his new teddy and sipped on a slushy drink that Jungkook offered to buy. After many conversations, Jungkook confidently asked you on a date, and was very glad to see you accept. So that when you both parted ways, before taking your son home. You both had massive grins on your faces, already planning your next date.

Grandson's Love

"Lolita look I have something for you!"

My little boy hurriedly ran towards my direction and hugged me tightly.

"Oh, little boy. What is it?" I asked him. a little boy brought out a paper and give it to me.

"Here my teacher asked me to make a poem and  I dedicate it to you, Lolita" He said sweetly, I didn't know what to feel. I was really lucky to have my one and only grandchild.

I was about to read the poem silently when my grandchild interrupted me.

"Lolita can you read it loud for me.?" He requested.

As I read the poem, my little boy kept staring at me until we had reached the end.

"Sorry If wasn't able to finish it lolita, our teacher asked the class to submit it already whether we are finish or not ." He explained and I tapped his head

"Oh, boy"

I used calling him by that name even though his name Jake, is far from little boy but his really cute that I compare to little boy. " I understand and truly appreciate it even your only a kid, I already admire you." I help his little hand and guided him to dining table.

"But lolita I promise to finish it for you Lets it"

This what I love the most he has attitude of being contented on what he has. He understood that I couldn't give him same way of living like the other kids are used to.

*******

"Lolita!!!"

He excites me already just by calling me in energetic way. Like what he used to do after his school,he would ran and hugg me tightly.

"Little boy how's school?"

I know that he was second grade already but I couldn't avoid asking him that same question every now and then. And I love the way he finds it sweet.

"I know you'll asked me that. You know what lolita I slept while the class for the first time" he told me while he was laughing. I couldn't help but to laugh too.

"Really? thats amazing boy. Are you tired for you to sleep at school? How are you feeling?" I put the  back of my palm on his forehead, just checking if he was ill.

"Naaaaaah I'm fine lolita, I just read a lot and Got sleepy at the same time." Then he kissed me on my cheek. "Don't worry I'm not sick... I think we should start packing our products now to bring them to market, early tomorrow.

We got little space at market where we sell our vegetables and fruits that planted at our backyard. He always helped me when he was free usually before he goes to school. For a fourth year student. I admire him because he could manage his time to school and at our house.

He would be in college this year, so I need to double my effort and time to save money so he could be able to continue his studies in college. Everyone expected that his going to a valediction and he was. If ever he would be granted of full scholarship for his chosen course and when I asked him what his chosen course,  he answered me...

"I want to be a doctor, so when you get ill I'm the one who will take charge of your health"

Sixty nine  was old enough. But believe me when I say I haven't experience yet any serious illness, its because of my dedication I know I'm weak but I need to be strong for my grandson. Especially when this day came...

It was midnight when I entered my grandson room. I went to wake him up to take his vitamins. I missed my boy so much his beside me but I could feel that he wasn't.

Summer season, after his graduation, after his long speech which he dedicate to me, after our little celebration. He became ill I hate seeing him like that, His nosebleed and also his gums. He cant eat or even drink . I would rather want to see myself experiencing like that than seeing him suffering.

It was already one month after his graduation when we found out he has this disease. When I asked him why he didn't tell me. He only one said "I dont know what my illness lolita but I can feel that their is something wrong inside me, but I ignored it lolita. I'm so sorry lolita"

He had a incurable leukemia. A cancer in blood. The doctor said that there is no cures discovered for this kind of illness.

Jake parents died in car accident seventeen

years ago. Jake was still a baby that time, And when they die, I promised to them that I'll take care of jake.

"Lolita?Can I ask favor to you?" We were at hospital that time, the doctor demanded that the patient needed to bea hospital. I held his hand and smile at him.

"Name it my boy" He spoke and moved weakly and slowly and It hurts me I see my only grandchild suffering like that.

"Please don't spend so much money for my illness." He started while crying.

"Lolita, please dont spend your savings for me. I know we should be spending that for my studies, But I think its impossible this time."

He held my hand tight even it was obviously difficult to his part. "You've been take care of me when I'm still baby until now.... and Im so thankful  for that. I studied hard to became doctor someday, and I will able to take care of you too. But forgive me lolita, If I will not able to achieve it We know that my illness has no cure, so please save your money to spend it when you're sick..... whe  you need it." Hearing those word from your grandchild breaks my heart.

I love my grandson even though.....

I do not have the strengh to work and earn money to bring him in private school. I only plants some vegetables and fruits at our backyard and sell them to earn a little for him. I am not perfect grandmother who can give whatever his grandchild wants. But I'm  the grandmother who's willing to protect and sacrifices everything for his grandson.

I'm willing to sacrifices myself so he can live but it was impossible. I live for more than sixty years now and his the only seventeen years old. I have already experience so many in my life but he wasn't yet. He has dream but now he wasn't able to reach it. I must be the one who was lying on the white bed, with those wires connected to machine just prolong the life of the patient.

She reached for a piece of paper and give it to me. "Lolita can you read it to me?" I remember the same words that he said that he made a poem for me. I started crying.

When I realized that this is the continuation of the poem he made for me.

"Please don't cry lolita. I wont leave you just because I already tired .... But I will leave you because I have to. Please guide take care of yourself, I will guide and guard you. I love you lolita!" Then he kissed me on the cheek. "While I'm giving my last testament to God. Please start reading the poem lolita."

I started reading the poem he made while he silently crying and slowly closing his eyes.

After reading his poem, I turned to my boy and gave his last hug. I hugged him like what I used to do when his running to me after school. I hugged him tightly but this time, not to welcome him but to say goodbye.

Jake has passed away. My boy....

I have nothing but I have the greatest value of a thing in this world, I have my little boy's love...... My grandson' Love

Positive, food brings people together, it creates memories in the kitchen with grandma’s that wont be around forever. However it’s also scary.

If you do what do you Binge on? How often do you find yourself binging? Sometimes I binge. I might binge once every other week sometimes more frequently or less. Depends on a lot of situations. 28.

I was confident in myself and in my weight.  40. What has your eating disorder helped you with? Helped me to focus on my weight loss, help me avoid negative thoughts about things happening in my life that I don’t like.  41. Have you ever recovered from your disorder or tried to? Yes 42. have you ever relapsed from recovery?  Yes a few times now 43. How did you feel when you recovered, relapsed or both? Recovery is nice, i felt like I had a chance at being normal again and having fun in life instead of avoiding my friends and family. It also made me develop a stronger hate for myself though. I have worse body dismorphia from recovering. When I relapsed it felt bad and good. I felt/feel guilty but I feel like im at my wits end, my breaking point. I relapsed when I looked in the mirror and wanted to die bc of how fat I had gotten. I would rather die than be as fat as I was so It was like my last hope, my last shot at not being depressed. Lose weight and be happy or stay where you're at and just have suicidal thoughts all day every day. I’m not in that place anymore, i’m happier now that i’m losing weight but I feel angry at myself when I eat so it’s a trade off.  44. Do you have someone close to you that you can talk to about your disorder? I don’t 45. Does it help having someone to talk to about your disorder?  It does help having someone to talk to. My support and life line is this website and my blog.  46. Would you ever confide in anyone close to you about your disorder if you haven't already? (possibly family or someone not online etc.) I would confide in my husband or my little brother. They are both of my best friends. 47. What do you think would happen if you confided in someone or what has happened in the past? In the past the person I confided in ratted me out and I went to treatment. I’ve confided before in a close friend and she helped me the best she could. She didn’t understand but she was there for me and didn’t force me to do anything I didn’t want to. I think if I confided in my husband he’d be really sad and angry that he couldn’t stop it. I think my brother would cry and be sad and angry at me for doing this *again* 48. If you have confided in someone in the past what was thier reaction? How did it make you feel? My friend was really concerned and loving towards me. She helped me recover in my own way and walked me through my pregnancy when I was alone. When my family found out the first time about my eating disorder they cried. They wanted to understand and help. They wanted to feel responsible. They wanted to help me. It made me feel really bad because it was never my intention to hurt them. I never wanted to tell anyone for them to feel sorry for me or to feel responsible for what I was doing.  49. If you could recover with a snap of your fingers and be able to eat normal and not have intrusive thoughts right now would you? I would  50. Do you think you will recover from your disorder? I think I will, I think I will find a place of peace and happiness. I think i will find a way to cope with my issues or get medicated and then maybe recovery will come along the path to mental wellness. I don’t think I can recover without learning how to get to that place, that mental place of “being okay.”

Natural Weight Loss and Fat Burning Advice to Change Your Life

Obesity is now a worldwide epidemic.  USA is the most obese Country in the world, and my country, Australia, is quickly catching up with the states.  Also, of even more concern is the growing number of obese children who are thinking that fast food is a normal way to eat.

I see it every day, and I used to see it in the mirror in the past, the fat rolls, the chubby fat skin, the fat faces, the big asses.  Yes its not very nice, but if you are a realist like me, you will notice that most people you see are fat and over weight.  Whilst it is there own choice and if they are happy I have no qualms with them being like that.  However, obesity is not just visual thing.  Obesity is killing the world with heart disease, diabetes and other illnesses stemming from having too much fat in your system.

Let me set one thing straight first.  I don't like really skinny girls.  I really appall the cat walk shows and the stuff they say to young girls how they are fat and look too chubby etc. etc.  These people are extremists and I am not a fan of the fashion industry and what it does to young impressionable people all over the world.  Recently there was a comment made on one of those "how to be a super model" shows here in Australia, they judge said something to the effect that the girl should look at herself in the mirror as she is clearly too fat.  And the girl didn't even look overweight to me, I know they have to be anemic in the model industry, but this stuff makes me sick.  Anyway, I'm getting away from what I was saying.  I'm just stating that when I refer to 'overweight', 'obese', 'fat' people, I am referring to people that if they saw a Doctor, the Doctor would tell them that they should consider changing their diet as its harming their health.  So please once again, realise that I am not advocating that everyone should be skinny and not eat anything!

A bit about myself, I am a middle aged guy, 36 years old.  Large boned, I have found that I have always struggled with my weight and body image.  I love the food like most people, and I am a vegetarian as well, did I say I love beer also? :-(.

After I hit 30 or so my body changed almost over night, and I noticed that weight was harder to keep off and went on quicker without much help!  I guess when you eat badly over a period of time, it just adds up and before you know it a year or 2 or more and you will be obese if you don't watch yourself or unless you have one of those magical metabolisms that let you eat whatever you want.   Unfortunately I have a slow metabolism, and I need to exercise a fair bit to lose the weight.

The year 2008 arrived and I woke up one morning and looked at the mirror and said to myself, I am not happy with the way I look and I am not happy about getting out of puff when I kick the footy with my son or run around with him.  I made a conscious decision to change myself weight loss plans for girls .  This is the key to making change in any part of your life, you have to take the first vital step, which is telling yourself you want to change, you will change and you are damn well going to change.

So anyway, I decided to join the gym as I have lifted some weights in earlier years and enjoyed it, I am big boned and I tend to gain muscle relatively easy so that's a good thing, always have to take the positives that you have been given.  Over the years I have been on lots of different diets, but never stuck with t hem in the long term.  I don't like the term diet and I don't like the mental damage it does to one that wants to lose weight.  Diet conjures up all sorts of images of starving yourself on weird and ridiculous food combinations, it makes you think that you are going to put yourself through some sort of food boot camp and you can no longer eat the foods you enjoy eating.

Know what you eat

So I don't use the term diet, I use the term "healthy eating".  Its about changing your diet thoughts and changing what you eat and the foods you eat.  The harsh reality is if you are obese then you can no longer eat the same foods and live a sedentary life as this will not change your body at all.

The first thing you should do is become knowledgeable on the foods you eat and understand what good foods are and bad foods. Bad foods are foods that are high in saturated fats and sugars, and will do your body not much good at all.  Foods that fall into this category are deep fried foods, candy, full fat ice cream, donuts, fast food burgers and fries, full sugar soda drinks, chocolate bars, you get the idea ok.  Start to read the labels for the amount of fat in foods, you should aim at lower fat foods when you shop.

Weight loss and diet & exercise is a topic that I could sit here all week and discuss but instead I will be adding new articles when I have the time so you can come back and read the different weight loss and exercise articles when you have the time as well, theres only so many hours in the day and its hard to get everything done.

The good foods that you should be eating are fresh fruit and vegetables, lean meats, low fat dairy and whole grain carbohydrates.

That means fish, lean meats,  wholegrain rice, pasta and breads.  Low fat cheese, yogurt, & milk.  Fresh fruit each and every day.

Organic foods are always better for you than standard foods, it means there are no nasty chemicals in the foods and if you can afford it I really encourage you to buy organic products, have a look next time you go to the supermarket.

Eat plenty of fruit each day, say 3 to 6 pieces of fruit each day.  I know its a pain, but your body, your digestive system and your bowels will thank you for it.  Have an apple, orange, a cup of tinned fruit salad (in natural juice), a banana, you get the idea.

Have snacks during the day.  Its been proven that this increases your metabolism to burn calories faster.  Have a morning snack of say an apple and some low fat crackers, a cup of low fat yogurt.  In the afternoon have some low fat dip with some low fat wholegrain biscuits.

Fat Loss

Try to really cut down on your fat intake.  Try only having a very small amount of butter on bread/toast, try  some lower fat butter spreads.   Use olive oil in your cooking and minimise this as well.  Get a low fat grill like a George foreman one or whatever, this helps you cook low fat without even trying!  Non stick cooking pans are great as you can put your food on there with some spray oil and it wont burn, try a lower heat with these pans though as they don't like high heat it damages the surface.

I know desserts are wonderful but try to limit these and try to choose low fat alternatives, check out the supermarket and look for low fat desserts, they are everywhere.

Exercise is a crucial part of your life changing weight loss plan.   Start today and go for a brisk walk, it doesn't matter how far it is, just do it, get the walking shoes out and do it, its important to get the ball rolling ok.

Then walk each day, or at least 3 days a week.  Make it fast enough so you get a bit out of puff, very slow walking is not beneficial to weight loss.  45 minutes is your goal to aim for at least 3 times a week, then increase if you really want to see results.

Join the gym or buy some cheap weights from a garage sale!  Lifting weights is incredibly good for your body, doing the likes of "squats", "bench presses", "rows" will aid you in your weight loss journey.  It doesn't matter what your age or sex, weights are a remarkable exercise for strengthening your whole body, working your muscles, increasing your metabolism so you can lose fat faster and burn calories quicker and quicker.  Don't kill yourself though, start slow with a short weight lifting program and then as you gain confidence you can add extra exercises later.  You can do all your exercise at the gym using the cross trainers and treadmills etc.  I cant stress how important plain old walking is, so if you can add regular walking to your life your body will be so much better for it.

Don't stress if you don't have the funds for the gym (they are expensive) as you can do exercises at home, weights are cheap, lots of people buy them and don't use them so they are always for sale!  There's a stack of exercises you can do that require no equipment.  Crunches, situps, push ups, reverse crunches, ab workouts etc. can all be done with no equipment at all.

The best time to exercise is first thing in the morning, this is when you burn the most calories.  This is excellent as you can get it out of the way at the same time and not have to worry about doing it for the rest of the day.  The gyms are busy that time of the day though so maybe the morning walk is better option for you.

Take it easy at the start

One of the most important  things to remember at the beginning of your weight loss journey is not to go into it too hard core.  You will burn yourself out really fast and not want to do it ever again.  Start regular walking, regular exercises.  Change the way you eat, and what you eat.   Start to eliminate fries and bad foods from your diet.  If its too drastic at the start, then start reducing these foods each week and you will still notice weight loss as long as you are exercising and reducing your food intake.  Keep a journal and write down when you start your weight loss regime, write down what you eat, what exercise you do and put down everything you eat, this is very important.

Offerings to Gods and Ancestors: The Basics

Why Give Offerings to Gods?

What is the point in giving offerings to gods and ancestors? The tradition of giving offerings to the gods and ancestors dates back to prehistoric times. We see this practice in the Bible and ancient holy texts, as well as through archaeology, cave paintings, etc. Our ancestors thought giving offerings to gods and goddesses would gain their favor. Today, people give offerings in a variety of places where religious rites are performed.

As a pagan, you might wonder whether you should give offerings to gods and ancestors. This should actually be a part of your tradition on a regular basis. Though many pagans claim they don’t “worship” their gods or ancestors, they will use the phrase “work with” or “revere” their gods and ancestors. It is more of a friendship or working relationship. To give an offering to a god or ancestor is simply like making an exchange or a deal. “I’m giving you this in exchange for that.” On the contrast, you can also give an offering if you are simply wanting to thank the god or ancestor for their support or love. Think of it like this, if someone you loved gave you a thoughtful gift just to say thank you or make your day, how would it make you feel? Wouldn’t you be grateful and more wont to bestow gifts upon that person, too? It’s the same thing with offerings to gods and ancestors – think of them as gifts.

Offerings to gods can include anything of beauty from nature.

What Do I Offer My God or Goddess?

Many people get confused on what offerings to give their gods, goddesses, and ancestors. This isn’t difficult and should be a fun part of your pagan practice. The key to giving good offerings to gods is to simply be mindful of what you are offering.

Here are some things that can be offered to gods and goddesses:

Incense – research what type of incense your god or goddess would like the most.

Bowl of herbs or flower petals – research what type of herb/flowers your god or goddess might like then leave it on your altar.

Foods – certain types of foods can be used as offerings to your gods. These can be left on your altar or set aside on your dinner table.

Drink – a bowl of water or some other form of beverage associated with your god can be left on your altar.

Candles – you can dedicate a certain candle’s flame to the energy of your god or goddess.

Song – sing a special song or play a special song dedicated in your god/goddess name.

Poetry – if you love to write, write a poem or story for your god or goddess

As you can see, there is no limit to what you can offer your god or goddess. With any of your offerings, you should research what kind your god or goddess would prefer before giving the offering. But, if you don’t have a special kind of incense or you can’t afford that particular offering, give what you can give. The gods aren’t jerks and will understand if you give an offering with pure heart and good intention. Keep in mind, don’t give offerings to gods that you wouldn’t enjoy receiving as a gift yourself!

Examples of Deities and Appropriate Offerings

Aphrodite  Roses,  Perfume,  Myrtle

Osiris  Cedar, Dates, Myrth

Brigid  Red clove,  Poetry,  Candles

Cernunnos  Acorns,  Coins,  Evergreens

What About Offerings to Ancestors?

Ancestors are a bit different from the gods and goddesses as far as the types of offerings. Our ancestors make up our bloodline, so therefore we should put extra thought into the offerings to ancestors. If you have an ancestor altar or shrine of some kind, it’s best to leave their offerings on their altar. But always do what feels most appropriate to you.

If you are giving an offering to an ancestor that you knew in life, think about what that person liked while they were alive. For example, maybe it was your grandfather and you know that he smoked cigars. You can offer a cigar or a bit of tobacco. Or maybe it was your great aunt and she loved tulips, you can offer a vase of tulips to her. Maybe your great grandmother loved caramel candies, leave a few of these on the altar for her. The options are endless and it is really about being mindful and thoughtful of what you are leaving as offerings.

If you didn’t know the ancestor while they were alive, and let’s say you are giving an offering to your ancient ancestors, think about your ancestors’ heritage. Think about where they lived and what was common as far as foods back then. Perhaps a bowl of milk might be appropriate for those who lived in Europe in Medieval times. Or maybe leaving a bit of dried plant matter or herbs that were common to your ancient ancestors in those times. For example, red clover for Irish ancestors, Elder berries for English ancestors, etc.

Leave your offerings to gods and ancestors on separate altars.

How Do I Dispose of Used Offerings to Gods?

Many people want to know what they’re supposed to do with the offerings to gods once a sufficient time has passed. This is an easy enough question to answer. Do what you feel is best. However, it seems somewhat disrespectful to throw away certain things.

Here’s some tips on how to dispose of offerings in appropriate ways:

Food – if it was vegetable or fruit matter, throw it in the compost or throw it outside for the birds and wild animals to eat. The gods and ancestors would be appreciative of such a gesture.

Water/Wine/Liquid – can be poured as a libation outside on the ground. Don’t drink it after you’ve offered it.

Dried herbs and plant material – again, can be given back to nature or used in the compost.

Trinkets, jewellery, nick-knacks – you can keep these on your ancestors’ or gods’ altars and switch them out with the seasons (see section below on seasonal offerings).

Seasonal Pagan Offerings and Conclusion

You might find that as the seasons pass you will get the urge to change your altar decorations. This can also include seasonal offerings to the gods and ancestors. For instance, if the summer solstice is on its way, you might want to take down your Spring decor (eggs, rabbits, etc) to make room for summer decor. This can include switching out plants, flowers, bowls of dried herbs and stones all dedicated to the gods and ancestors.

Often when I clean and reorganise my altar, I am thinking of what the gods associated with the coming season would enjoy. This typically includes different stones, dried flower petals and herbs, and even boughs or branches of evergreen trees. Depending on what gods you work with or what branch of paganism you follow, this will influence how you set up your altar and whether or not you change your offerings and altar décor with the seasons.

The choice is ultimately up to you what you want to offer to your gods and ancestors. The key to giving the best offerings is to simply be mindful and intentional of what you are giving. You wouldn’t invite an honoured guest over for dinner and throw out a bowl of two-day-old leftovers, would you? So treat your gods and ancestors with just as much respect, if not more. Think about what you are giving them and whether or not they would really enjoy it if they were sitting across from you at your dinner table. While I’m sure most of the gods and ancestors are just happy to be recognised after years of being ignored, we still want to be respectful, polite, and thoughtful.
