Scream Therapy

I'm calling it the next big thing.  I think we should practice our screaming.  It is entirely cathartic....we just don't scream enough.  Maybe that's why roller coasters are so popular.

I'm ready for some scream therapy...one of my waking nightmares is back.  Oh it's been looming around the edges of my days...but now it's come back front and center and the Krapatoa volcano is spewing again.  Where are the honest brokers?  Where is the justice for that matter.  Where is the cork for the gaping maw that vomits this bs?  And the hardest thing is watching people buy into to the   crap....why?  Why do people allow themselves to be so blinded?  Why is the injustice of exploitation of the good will and finances of others not stopped dead in its tracks?  It crushes me to stay silent and take the high road.  I want to shake people.  I want to slap people.  WAKE UP.  And the very worst is the use of God...wrapping the chicanery in holiness to make it noble and above reproach makes me want to vomit until the acid eats the evil away.

I hear the still small voice in my head telling me His timing is not my timing....and I know there are also the passages about the false prophets...I have to believe it will come right in the end.  But in the meantime....oh in the meantime.....I think I'll just scream.

Summer Dreaming

I don't know what it is about summer that makes it different from the other seasons...maybe its the idea of all those lazy days stretched out in front of us that makes so much seem possible.  So I asked the girls what they had for goals for this summer...after all they are blessed with more free time during the day right now...what books they'd like to read, what things they want to practice and so on....and so now I'm thinking....and dreaming and planning.

Here's my list.

1.  Complete the Whole 30 plan (starting May 26)
2.  Learn more about my camera and switch to taking photos on manual.
3.  Walk the dogs at least 5 times a week.
4.  Do 3 more auditions for audio books
5....and a very practical one...redo my resume.


Mmmmm....may have some others to add.  I always want to go to a drive in movie during the summer....I have for several summers...and the girls have never been to one....maybe this year.  :)

Wondering about Diet: Day 1 of Detoxing from sugar, dairy and grain

So my dear friend did the "Whole 30" program and my church mentioned "The Daniel Plan" so I was feeling  prodded to really think about eating.  I don't know about anyone else but figuring out how much sugar we scarf down without thinking about it is frightening.  One of the passages in "The Daniel Plan" said around the turn of the century we ate 22 teaspoons of sugar a year...now we do that daily.   Doesn't seem like that can be good.  I also know that there many people who experience trouble with gluten....  So I have been really overwhelmed reading all this material and the slightly different approaches of the Whole 30 and the Daniel Plan.  Both have good points and some down sides so I'm sorta mixing and matching on my own.  My plan at this point is to be sugar, gluten and grain free as well as no processed foods -- I'm defining that as anything that has more than 5 ingredients -- or ingrediants I can't pronounce or find on the internet -- if I can find them and they are just artificial junk...then it's a no.   The Daniel Plan detox goes for 10 days...and right now that's what I am aiming for --  10 days as a staring point.  I'll reassess once I get to Day 10.

Breakfast -
2 scrambled eggs
1 cup of kale chips

I feel like I ate chinese food....I was hungry within 30 minutes.  Grr...am I really hungry or just freaked out.  There is a heavy dose of freaked out.....

I'm also really tired...yawning to beat the band.  I want to chew gum.  But no.  I will not chew gum.  This will be a lot of fun...especially since the "Bad Days" are supposed to be Day 3&4....

Snack
Cinnamon roasted almonds -- about 15
Banana

I may make it to lunch.....
