Family Behaving Badly

So the older I get the more I learn about my family (not my immediate family, but cousins/uncles, etc.) Now I know my family is not perfect, but I do know the one thing my family does not do is play games with each other. I don't mean Monopoly kind of games, but swarmy bullshit games.

This morning's post is about bullshit. You know, I just don't understand why people have a problem with telling the truth. Don't our parents raise us to tell the truth? Don't attorneys seek out the truth? Obviously there is something to this truth thing. I mean, I guess I could hone my skills as a pathological liar. Then there is that icky bullshit passive/aggressive shit. Really? How can you not feel incredibly gross about yourself? Ick...

Anyhoo-I am up way too early & it's not good because I am already bitching. lol!

Peace out...

Peace within

So I had an emergency meeting with my happy head person. I pretty much have her on speed dial & by the time she is done parenting me (her words exactly) I am pretty sure she'll be able to buy a Ferrari. Our meeting was about all my anger towards my in-laws. It's the ONLY thing Alex & I fight about. The only thing. So she helped me see quite a few things & can I tell you that just one change in perspective is the most liberating feeling in the world? Yeah baby!!! Now I have nothing to worry about & I realize they have no power over me. Woot woot!!

Anyway, I woke up feeling great! I am sipping hot water with lemon & plan on getting on my treadmill after this post. Damn I feel liberated!!! Lovin' it!!!

Short post.

Love ya!

New Blog

Sweet!!! Successfully changed my template, web address & title. You know I love Chaka Khan, but I'm not every woman. As a matter of fact, I am one of diversity & uniqueness :) At least that's what my happy head person says!!! lol. Seriously though, I am made up of two races (and probably then some), I was raised Jewish (even though I am not practicing) and my mother is Chinese Jamaican. I can't quite figure out how she is third generation Jamaican, but hey, I'll take it!!! When I learned of the trouble that my people caused Tibet, I immediately called my mother & asked if my relatives had anything to do with it. She said no, but I am not thoroughly convinced we don't have relatives in China.

So my new blog is more just about my life journey in growing up & being able to take care of myself. I know that sounds ridiculous since I will be 35 next month, but better late than never. I truly hope to capture the real essence of my journey, but just to be honest there will be some posts that aren't as full of sunshine as I'd like them to be. Then again, life isn't always full of sunshine.

Oh & the reason for my new web address is this. I figure that in life we all strive to be our better selves. We need a little bit of that extra elbow room to change because change isn't always easy & it helps to be able to stretch out when we are in it. Let me rephrase : we are infinitely striving to be our better selves! So step aside peops, I am stretching out & reaching out for that elbow room to make change. What change shall unfold here.

Ok, done rambling. Going to go enjoy a lazy sunday.

xxoo!!
