BLAST & Clue Phone: It's ALTITUDE over Attitude that counts. --not whether you wear a wig and don't have to --not your extra long eye lashes --not your quasi-guilt about chemical straighteners and skin lightening --not the designs on your polished nails (not to mention their length) --or, for the men - not your "addiction" to Old Spice cologne (because no pure product can replace it) --and not that you make-less-money than your partner.... None of the fashion, trending, or mainstream conditioning matters. When you truly care. EVEN though you know of new choices for better health, and you PRIVATELY beat yourself up for not doing A or B ~ YOU CAN STILL LOVE YOURSELF. So, declare that. (This is what to Tap on if you feel like it. See explanation under Tapping Session) Put your hands over your heart to Feel the Truth of the Falsehood of Guilt. Guilt awareness is a merciful giving-for-ward. Your fleeting self-forgiveness is a whiff of self-love. Breathe that in! The higher LOVE ALTITUDE surpasses attitude, and is felt by the ones who need and depend on you. The energy of inner love you carry is PARAMOUNT. I feel yours rising right now! So feel BEAUTIFUL or HANDSOME ( f o r m I d a b l e and M A G N E T I C essentially), even if a part of you has outgrown the mainstream. Let your bright energy outshine your physical appearance. Be happy with it. I am happy with you.

Please help me explore best way to describe it. Aromas is the "A" ... Reiki (& hand-healing tools) is the "R" Tapping is the "T" Can this focus be a lifestyle for you? What would it take? Maybe you have other meanings for the letters A, R, T. Share what they might be for you

I've posted about NOT being a "work in progress." Instead, you're a work of ART, specially crafted and unique My acronym for ART is aromas, reiki, tapping. It's my belief these three can help anyone create or enhance a fulfilling and joyful life. Being a Work of Art can feel more truthful when you take long strides through tasks at hand. Icky stuff can be transformed. Literally taking a break and seizing the opportunity to take a walk, using long strides, is one way to feel creative and resilient. Recall the childhood game of "not stepping on the Iines" of concrete blocks? I still challenge myself to see how long I can keep it up. Of course walking is one of the best forms of exercise. Taking long strides increases its impact while the mind gets clearer and clearer...this is what I wish for you.

Maybe everyone has seen this but I hadn’t. It was shared by a FB friend: If I get dementia, I’d like my family to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things. 1. Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi mom - it’s ………...” NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? That causes anxiety. 2. If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality. 🌸 3. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.❤️ 4. If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.👍🏽❤️👍🏽 5. If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 6. If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.❤️🥰❤️🥰 7. If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded. 8. If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am. ❤️ 9. If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends. ❤️ 10. If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past. 11. If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me. ❤️ 12. If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated. ❤️ 13. If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.❤️ 14. If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.👍🏽 15. If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live.👍🏽

Aroma - orange/citrus; word for the day “wince,” Reiki/hand-healing tech for the day - calf massage, stools (enstoolment - new meaning, hindsight 20-20); meditation to Gather In All of It; Tapping “kun faya kun” (Be and it Becomes). The Work of A.R.T. system of energy renewal on the Overground Railroad - you’re beyond a work in progress in your journey to your true self. The Healmobile (heel-mo-been) train has left the station. You ARE on board.
