About my momma.... Wow the time has finally come. My mother is unwillingly but willingly moving to Florida to go live with my grandmother for the remainder of her years. She is 90 years old and has lived in Florida for at least 15 years and has grown quite comfortable with her living situation. So, in three weeks my mother must pack up her home, sell stuff, toss stuff and give away stuff. She's been pretty much holding my granny "hostage" since last November and it's about that time they move out of my momma's small house and into my grandmothers small (but bigger than my mothers) house. Please pray for them as they make this transition.. Lord knows they will need it.
About Eat Love Pray....I just finished reading this book and I must say that it was one of the best I've read thus far, close second to I know this much is true by Wally Lamb. This book was a very funny and very enlightening tale (a true one) of this woman who is on this journey to forgive, love and understand herself and to really get to know God for herself. To become whole. She did this by taking a year to travel through Italy (to eat), India (to pray) and Indonesia (to love) hence the name of the book. She’s the meditative, go to India, guru having, yoga type yet I felt a deep connection to her. I felt that her journey to healing and wholeness is very similar to the one that I am on. I would definitely recommend reading this book.
About good health....I’m still hanging in there, tryin to eat right most days and exercising at least 4 times a week. Sometimes even 6 if I’m really feelin it. Go Sandy!
About getting acupuncture…. I would like to think that I have a high thresh hold for pain but I may have to say that I am not certain any more. I got a tattoo, I accidentally stepped on hot coal, I get my armpits waxed, had teeth pulled and tons of fillings, had surgery, sprained my ankle and had a charlie horse. While these things have been painful to some degree, it is the simple procedure of inserting tiny needles in different parts of my body that has proven to be soooo discomforting. It’s not that it’s necessarily painful so to speak, but it does prove to be tad bit uncomfortable. I had my third appt yesterday and while it felt crazy at first, I did end up relaxing enough to fall asleep. I have friends who do it and swear by it so hopefully it will serve me well.
About my neighbor…. We’ve been dating/hanging out/seeing each other for a bit now and I must say that it’s been kinda fun. He’s a nice guy (Canadian). We've done and still do lots of stuff together from eating to shopping to working out to going on a couple of road trips. It’s easy being with him, there really isn’t a lot of pressure to be someone I’m not (although I’m sure he thinks I can be a bit trifling). He has been very encouraging with regards to being healthy, succeeding at work, going back to school, starting a business and setting boundaries… That’s my homie.
About going to therapy…. I’ve been seeing someone else too. But I have to pay her :) it’s been a little over a year and while I do see some significant changes in my life, I must say that I have a ways to go. One way I know I’ve come a long way is that I am actually ok with the fact that it’s been such a long time since I’ve started seeing her. When I first started going, I thought it would be a few months and I’d be out of there. NOT! I’m dealing with years of packed on stuff so naturally, like loosing weight, it’s gonna take a minute. She’s been great and is one of the most non-judgmental persons that I have ever met. Yall be sure to pray with me thru this process. It’s been quite the challenge for me.
About visiting churches… (and I’ll end it here) I decided to start visiting churches with denominations that are different from what I am used to (Baptist) I just started and its been interesting. I was out late last night so I missed going to my third church (Episcopalian) The other two churches were a non-denominational and a roman catholic church. They were different but there were things that I liked (and disliked) about them both. At the non-d church I thought it was nice that the invitation to come to Christ lasted longer than two minutes and at the RC church I liked the pretty music. I won’t say what I didn’t like about them… :)
Anyway, I have an assignment I must complete b4 I head out for the Crisette Michelle and Raheem Devaughn (with Dwele) concert… I can’t wait, I know it will be great!
