💜 Hello From My Heart💜 I'm a Gen XER for life :) I'm a Latch Key 70's Kid, teen-aged lover of 80's Rock-N-Roll and New Wave .. Now I'm pushing 60 years old. No matter how much things have changed or how old I get, i'll forever be a Gen XER 😊 So, what does it mean to be a Gen XER? In my opinion, a Gen XER is someone born from the 60's and 70's. We grew up feral, had been left to our own devices and learned to adapt and overcome. We lived dangerously... Drank from a water ho

❤️ Hello From My Heart ❤️ Sometimes life can throw us some curve balls. The past 2 weeks certainly did for me. In a week and a half, I had lost one of my front teeth in a meatball parm sub (not kidding), the bearing on my SUV went kaput, causing the engine to seize, thus blowing it completely. Then, my phone died. I felt the "Why Me's" coming on and a few thoughts had popped into my head: "What is this teaching me?" "What do I need to move forward?" I had learned the art of "

💜 Hello From My Heart 💜 I've been wanting to write about this subject for a while... Actually years... What I'm about to share with you sounds a bit "Woo Woo", but Is a true observation and experience of mine. I've witnessed dear friends and family succumb to alcohol addiction. I've also witnessed strange occurrences around them. People are portals. We both energetically send out and receive transmissions much like a radio antenna. I know, Woo Woo stuff. We do this by our

🌈✨ ❤️ Hello From My Heart ❤️ ✨ 🌈 A song that plays on the radio that reminds you of someone. You find coins on the floor next to your bed when you wake up in the morning. When you go outside, a feather falls in your path. That's an angel or loved one letting you know you're not alone. You see a butterfly or a red cardinal, a sure sign someone you love is watching over you. Or when you look up to the sky and see a heart-shaped cloud or a rainbow, that's also a sure sign of l

🩵 Hello From My Heart 🩵 Nobody likes waiting for people or situations to work out when in fact, waiting prepares us to be ready for when the right people and situations do happen. Just think of this "in between" time as a "time out" to assess what you really want. Anticipation and contemplation go hand-in-hand while waiting. We don't always have to have all the answers, just stay in the moment and see where it takes you. In other words, just go with it... Carly Simon wrote

❤️ Hello From My Heart ❤️ I know all too well what it's like to be misunderstood. Since my Father's passing, in the past year and a half I've had to deal with some very spiteful, troubled, fearful, insecure and jealous people who had spread some false, vicious rumors about me. I still kept the faith that the truth would come out and eventually, it did. It took several months for the truth to come out and I actually received a few apologies. Fear, spite and jealousy does terr

💜 Hello From My Heart💜 Do you feel like you're at a crossroads in life? I've often found myself there, too. What helps me make a tough life decision is taking a "breath" and stepping back for a short while. Taking one day at a time and not rushing a decision helps, too. Writing a list of pros and cons can also lead you where you need to be. Spending time alone in nature and meditation helps a lot. Just listening to music or even cleaning relaxes my mind enough like meditat

🩵 Hello From My Heart 🩵 No matter what life throws at you, still take the time to enjoy it. At the end of an 80's movie "Ferris Bueller", the character of the same name (played brilliantly by Matthew Broderick) says my favorite catchphrase: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." Ever since I seen this movie and heard this quote, 40+ years later the inspiration has stayed with me. I do my very best to make every day f

💜 Hello From My Heart 💜 One of the things I have learned is that one of the ways to create joy is learning to balance life's many demands with some rest. I used to be a "nose-to-the-grindstone" person, both out of necessity and avoidance. I used to work 3 jobs. The first, Full time at the Postal Service as a clerk, then afterwards I would go to work cleaning a warehouse. The third job was cleaning houses which stemmed from the warehouse job. All were fulfilling to me, ho

❤️ Hello From My Heart ❤️ Healing childhood trauma has been a life-long journey for me. I had carried this pain for decades and am very happy to say, the healing journey has progressed nicely. I started to "feed the kid" inside of me. I say this phrase to acknowledge "The Kid", that little girl's voice inside of me that I used to ignore. The pain, humiliation and anger from abuse I had suppressed for so long needed addressing. So, first I started acknowledging this through
