The more we think the same thoughts, which then produce the same chemicals, which cause the body to have the same feelings, the more we physically become modified by our thoughts……What we think about and the energy or intensity of these thoughts directly influences our health, the choices we make, and, ultimately, our quality of life.

After another month on 3 antibiotics plus an antiparasitic, I have decided to work harder at more natural means to knock back Lyme. I have also accepted the fact that I will probably always have it in my system, but I’m very hopeful and motivated to get it into remission.

Today I did my very first cold water plunge, staying in the lake for about 10 minutes to reduce symptoms of inflammation, especially neck, shoulders and hips. By the end I was able to come out of the water and stand on the grass in the sun, feeling wonderful and getting some vitamin D as well as grounding my feet (it’s a thing, look it up on YouTube for a great video).

Some dietary changes (fits and starts there, but I’m working on it) and an arsenal of herbs and probiotic foods — I have taken lots of those all along, as well as reducing physical and mental stress (not working right now), and I have hopes that in 6 months I will be better. Now, for that sauna…

I do not want to be remembered as a woman who was always exhausted. I do not want to be remembered as a woman who was always stressed, always busy, always rushing, always holding herself together and pushing through.

I would like to be remembered as a relaxed woman, a compassionate woman, a curious, joyful, pleasure-loving woman. A woman who works hard and rests deeply, who loves fiercely and lives peacefully.

A woman who knows her worth and her power, who accepts her imperfections and her vulnerabilities, who embraces her limitations and her possibilities.

A woman who laughs and cries and aches and loves and is enchanted by the mess and magic and mundaneness of this beautiful, shimmering life.

Most days I’m here.

There's a certain point in life one reaches at no particular age.

It's powerful.

It's at this point when you would rather sit and sip the simplest of beverages and read a good book by yourself than be surrounded by others trying to carry on awkward conversations.

It's when you stop worrying about the stain on your shirt as you walk into that store and simply go in to get what you need without a care so you can go back home and put on your favorite permanently stained shirt.

It's when you realize you now likely have a new stained shirt to add to your collection because you couldn't care less about spot-treating anymore.

It's when your tolerance for meanness is all used up and you're completely okay with being that person who calls others out.

It's when you're making the car and credit card payments and absolutely refuse to purchase anything on a payment plan anymore...debt is so overrated.

It's when you're starting to realize how much you have...yet how little you actually need; you wonder what areas you should start downsizing in.

It's when it becomes easier to ignore the drama-chasers and politics-pushers.

It's when life-fulfilling joy becomes a priority and there's no room for self-imposed stress.

It's a big change, but oh man does it make getting older feel sweet.

"Grandma how do you deal with pain?"
"With your hands, dear. When you do it with your mind, the pain hardens even more."
“With your hands, grandma?"
"Yes, yes. Our hands are the antennas of our Soul. When you move them by sewing, cooking, painting, touching the earth or sinking them into the earth, they send signals of caring to the deepest part of you and your Soul calms down. This way she doesn't have to send pain anymore to show it.
"Are hands really that important?"
"Yes my girl. Think of babies: they get to know the world thanks to their touch.
When you look at the hands of older people, they tell more about their lives than any other part of the body.
Everything that is made by hand, so it is said, is made with the heart because it really is like this: hands and heart are connected.
Think of lovers: When their hands touch, they love each other in the most sublime way."
"My hands grandma... how long since I used them like that!"
"Move them my love, start creating with them and everything in you will move.
The pain will not pass away. But it will be the best masterpiece. And it won't hurt as much anymore, because you managed to embroider your Essence.”~

Yes.

A few weeks ago, Matt and I went out to lunch at a beach restaurant. We ordered oysters. He got his exactly the way they were listed on the menu. I got mine with quite a few exceptions, and then apologized to the waitress for being difficult.

She looked at me and said, “You’re not difficult, darling. You are clear.”

And that got me thinking about what we call difficult women.

Remember that line in When Harry Met Sally when Sally/Meg Ryan is crying on the bed and says to Harry/Billy Crystal, “I’m difficult.” Or when we hear about actresses who ask for what they want and are labeled difficult?

I have it impressed in my psyche that asking for what I want or being different than other people means I am difficult. And that being difficult is not good. I should be nice. I should be easy. I should go along with what everyone else is eating, having, doing. (I don’t do that but there is still an underlying background queasiness. An apology on the tip of my tongue.)

From the time I was a child and saw the elephant in the living room — that my parents were unhappy, mean to each other, getting ready to divorce — and spoke up about it, I was told to be quiet. I was told that children should be seen and not heard.

And when I confronted my mother about her affairs, I was told that I was difficult, that I was making things up.

And when I refused to keep dieting after gaining and losing so much weight, I was told that I was wrong. Not exactly difficult. More like crazy.

And when I speak up and say that is not funny after a joke that is mean, I get labeled difficult.

And when I don’t want to go where other people are going or eat what other people are eating or do what other people are doing, I am called difficult.

And when I confronted my breast surgeon because I am still in pain and asked her whether her resident closed the surgery, she was uncomfortable and I felt as if I was being difficult. Then I remembered that someone told me that being on my own side sometimes, often, makes people uncomfortable. That being labeled difficult is a catch-all phrase. Is a way that people throw off the discomfort of a woman speaking up.

The truth is that what I am is clear and being clear is difficult for many people.
