My First Blog Post-Yay!
Finally I'm sitting down to write my first blog post. I've been wanting to for a while now but due to my very full schedule, my job and an online training I had to do for them, some health issues that I am having right now that have made me very tired, trying to help a very dear friend and massage client that broke her leg a couple weeks ago and take care of my cats, there has been very little time to do the things I want to do. Also I wasn't sure what to write about first. So I decided to do it like I was writing in my journal. Just streams of thought and that way you'd get to know me a little better. Also maybe i wouldn't try to edit myself too much.
So it's Saturday afternoon about 2:21pm (depending on what clock I am looking at) and I have been enjoying just hanging out, taking time for me and resting. I am getting ready to drink my potassium soup broth that I made for the month long detox I am doing to cleanse my system and get me back to my normal vivacious, healthy, happy self. It's made up of carrot and potato peels, chopped beets, onions, celery, kale and 50 cloves of garlic. Yes 50!. Thank God Whole Foods sells Organic garlic peeled! You season, simmer for 1 to 2 hours and then strain and drink the broth. Yummy.
As I am typing this I wish I was actually writing because I am not a very fast or accurate typist without looking at the keys. I write faster on paper with pen in hand. That way my stream of thought doesn't get interrupted. So I think I'll keep looking because my mind has so much it wants to let go of and go back and correct after. I really wish I had a Harry Potter Wand and could just pull out my thoughts and put them in separate jars to go back and pull them out when I need them. Speaking of Harry Potter, I love the Mystical and Magical realm. I am really into Fairies, Mermaids, Atlantis and all that sort of stuff. I am a Virgo and am in my head a lot. I write in my head all the time. My mind always seems to come up with great things to say while I am doing something where I can't stop to write. It's very frustrating because when I do sit down to write it's just not the same. I got an app on my phone called "Fast Notepad" so I could just talk and get my thoughts out. But it needs time to write, so what I really need is an old fashioned tape recorder. I'm sure many of you remember back in the day having Pen Pals. It was so much fun receiving letters from friends that lived too far away to see. Plus I really do enjoy writing. And getting in the habit of blogging is only going to make me a better writer. It will help me write my own show and all those stories I have put off writing for too long now. I got in my car last night to go to the grocery store for cat food to feed the Feral cats my neighbor and I take care of, got halfway down the block and realized I didn't have my cell phone. I tried to tell myself it was okay to go without it, but my mind wouldn't let me. I had to turn around and go back. Too many what if's started to pop up in my brain. I constantly wonder how I lived without the cell phone before. My how the world has changed! We are addicted to automation. But I refuse to use the automated checkouts at the grocery store or the automated ticket machines at the movie theatres. For 1: they take away jobs from people and for 2: I really do like talking to people.
I'm really excited about being with Wealthy Affiliate and building an online business so I can make my own schedule again. I teach Massage Therapy at American Career College and have to get up at 5:30AM MON-FRI AND I HATE IT! I am more of a late person. Always have been since I was a kid. I guess that's why I'm a Performer. I don't mind getting up early if it's something I really want to do. Like if (I almost went back and changed like to: For Instance) I was hired to do some television or film work. Or If I wanted to do an early hike (it still probably wouldn't be at 5:30am-more like 7am wake up) or when I used to go fishing with my dad. I love my students. I'm a good teacher and have a lot to offer them but there is a new corporate regime that is making many of us crazy and it's very stressful. So I'm looking forward to sharing my knowledge and helping people in a different way that allows me to be creative and reach out and touch the lives of more people. Also I love just meeting new people from all over the world and this is definitely the platform for it. I also want to get back to performing and making a living online will give me the freedom to hone my craft again , take classes, go to auditions and Create, Create Create!
It's about 3:29 and it feels great to have gotten all that out. Gives me some room in my brain. I think I feel a little lighter and clearer. Now if I can only think of a title. Hmmmmm.

Hi Judith. I just looked at your profile and then found that you've written a lot more about yourself. I hope your soup broth and a bit of relaxation over the weekend have helped to make you feel more like your usual healthy, happy, energetic self.
Hi Judith, I certainly feel I did get to know you better:) Apart from a face-to-face meeting I think journal type writing is a great way to get to know someone, ideas flow and you get a good sense of the person.
Like you, I avoid automated checkouts in the grocery stores, because they are taking away jobs.
Drive through banks, drive through to eat, online shopping . . . very convenient, but . . . I have this awful vision of an automated world where people don't communicate except through social media. Wow, I'm starting to scare myself:)
Cheers, Caden

Hi Judith, I have just read both your blogs and they were very impressive. I have had health issues, but reading your blogs mine was only a walk in the park. Well done for managing to get through what you have got through I look forward to you being the vivacious person you always will be.
Hi John, thanks for reading my blogs. Everytime I think about my friend who has MS I think I'm not that bad but I do have some challenges to still overcome. I look forward to being a vivacious person too. I will check out your profile. Wishing you all the best.
