If I were a rich, white man...
I’d shut the fuck up about anything resembling me trying to motivate people of color, especially Black people, by imagining I know what it’s like to be a Black person, or trying to “simplify” Black struggle by saying I’d work harder… I’d realize that there are more than like MANY Black people working for me that probably work harder than I’ve ever...
House Considers “Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act,”... →
This is more right wing bs… It still amazes me that women of color, namely Black women, have been caring for little white babies for so long, but now no one trusts a Black woman to make decisions for herself, her family, or her body… I thought the slavery auction block was over… Apparently, not… I guess slave labor is still in fashion…
And to say that Asian women...

Mindfulness Week- Day 7
today seemed to be the easiest… Except I didn’t get a chance to sit. And my body felt really anxious about that.
I went to my parents house to help prep for the wedding, which meant leaving right after dropping off the diva. Didn’t get as much done, so I’m heading back tomorrow.
An issue today… Siblings…
I have serious problems with my brother. I love...

Mindfulness Week- Days 5 & 6
So…
Day 4, a friend and her partner invited my daughter and I over for Chicago-style veggie dogs, and they were so good! But the piece de resistance was the cushion they bought me! I’ve been eyeing a similar one they have at their home…. And they bought me one for my birthday! So amazing!
But…
It makes meditation way too comfy… I fell asleep both today and...

Mindfulness Week- Day 4
This day started very roughly…
I had a panic attack…
A little history: I had a very scary episode in Feb 2010 where I fell just plainly walking across my living room. Afterwards, and for the next three months, my head move involuntarily. After three days in one hospital and another night in another, nothing was found. I went to a neurologist and was diagnosed with migraines,...

Mindfulness Week- Day 3
A late post, I know…. Busy day.
Woke up, washed up, dressed, walked out the door, got to the Arden’s Garden, realized I left my wallet, drove home to find it, found it in the car, made it to the bank, went to Hancocks to get some buttons, forced my son to agree to come to my brother’s wedding, talked to my ex-husband, drove to Jeju…
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….

Mindfulness Week- Day 2
For some reason, I wanted to say Day 3… I am exhausted. This Week will truly be a test. I have to work odd hours at the mall, finish some crochet orders, and my daughter is planning for college.
Luckily, tomorrow is a day of Meditation with my sangha, Tangerine, at Jeju… Ahhh. The relaxing space and good simple food will make it easier to let go.
So, a few things came up in...
WOW! Vegan Poutine with Sweet Potato Fries & Daiya... →
A Canadian Classic gone Vegan! I love it!

Mindfulness Week- Day 1
So I was thinking to myself that I usually have a focus for the week; a breakup to deal with, issues with money, issues with my kids… Not this time. This week I’m focusing on nothing. I dont want to go into this Mindfulness Week 2011 with the expectation of an outcome. That is setting myself up for failure.
This Mindfulness Week, i vow to devote at least one hour to meditation,...
