Day 4
“Who does not sleep, does not works.” 
There is old sort of akward saying, means if you start work early, you are tired and need a nap on lunch.

Day 115
I woke up not as chipper as I usually do. That’s alright though. Coffee/espresso press is just outside the room. Ha!
My New Counselor I feel is a WONDERFUL fit. I swear that HP is orchestrating something on this one bc I was able to share with this woman some experiences , sights, and traumas that I haven’t ever before and she didn’t look at me different, she didn’t ask me the set of 'Do you know what day it is and who run this country’s questions, and she actually responded with some info from a source I hold dear to my heart and core as my survival guide.
Hallelujah!!!
She asked me a question at the end of our session . . .
"Is there anything burning or pressing in your life right now and you just don’t feel it’s been met or perhaps you haven’t spoken about it? "
Tears began to fall. One after another after another. I apologized. Why would I apologize? It was my session and she asked the question?
It was in this moment I think I realized that I’m still wearing many masks handed me by the giants while I was a little sprout.
Act like this, don’t show that, nobody wants to hear about that, don’t show this about yourself or else… The list goes on. The giants in my life as a child handed me many different masks and cloaks and I’m still, apparently wearing them and when one slips off I apologize bc it’s ingrained in me that nobody cares and in fact finds me a nuisance when vulnerability seeps forth.
And perhaps I’ve learned from sharing with the wrong people as they don’t address my vulnerability and step around or on it.
I know these are lies. I know there are many a good people who, like me, love me as myself and care deeply - especially when I’m vulnerable and share in honesty my broken pieces.
I wept in the thought of answering that question.
I haven’t found my people since leaving California. I truly felt like I found my people in Cali when we were loving on one another, sharing our deep seated brokenness AND when we were discovering each other’s gifts and loving on people in the world. I found purpose there. Others saw me as an asset there and not a liability.
Some food for thought for me this day…
Thank you for this forum to freely share and freely love and be loved.

Alot of people at my gym swear by this stuff.
Its waaaay too strong!
Personally, I try using energy with more natural caffeine as pre-workout.
If I’m feeling bold or tired, I resort to reign energy drinks.

Morning check in
Day24
Weird, weird, day already and it’s 737am. Woke up to hubby getting mad over the phone. He woke up at 5am for work. At like 530am I hear him getting upset and asking someone to f off and stop calling. I go out and he tells me that this woman who was intoxicated kept calling his phone over n over and calling him a diff name and asking him for her money back, and every time he hung up, they’d call back. It was a unknown number so he just blocked all unknown numbers. Then I go in the bedroom and I thot I’d meditate for 20 min. Look down at my hand and my wedding ring was gone!! I start panicking only to realize it’s on the floor next to the bed. Weird… of course my overactive brain says Google what this means lmao. Anyways, I found nothing on Google and I don’t need to stress myself over nothing. The vibe and aura from outside I can literally feel from inside my apartment 15 stories up! It’s messed up. I don’t even want to go out… but I have to for errands as it’s payday. I thot it was “moon thing” but it says it’s a 1ST quarter moon so I don’t think that’s it. But wow that vibe outside 
… Anyway, tonight is day 25 (the longest amount of clean time I’ve had in many, many years)! I’m excited to keep moving forward 
Hope everyone is doing well for a Thursday! Proud of everyone here
