 Hey readers! How's your April 2023 going?

Writing to tell you what's up.  I bought this whipped sugar scrub called My Beauty Spot in watermelon with mint scent.  I sells for about $5.00 retail, and it's AMAZING!!!  I did my usual facial routine of washing, exfoliating and moisturizing.  I looked in the mirror and I must look no more than 35 years old.  My skin feels refreshed and invigorated.  

Needless to say, I am happy with this product, and I will implement it with my normal routine.

Here is the link to shop online.  I just ordered 4 more scrubs!  Get them while supplies last!

I read an article somewhere that you should always care for your skin, but as early as in your 30s and 40s washing, exfoliating and moisturizing is a most essential routine. 

As far as aging is concerned, I don't sweat it.  Age is just a number, as the saying goes.  I'm going on my 53rd year on this beautiful earth and I will transpose the number to 35!  

My mental health was somewhat good today, no bad moods.  I was a bit manic yesterday, but all is well now.  I feel great for my age and my mental health.

I'm trying to update my taste in music as I've been brand loyal to 80s and 90s music (the best music like EVER!).  I am going to Google some contemporary jams, but here is one of faves from the 80s.

Adam and the Ants Goody Two Shoes 

My other jams are Christian pop.  My favorite singers are Lauren Daigle and Kari Jobe.

Forever by Kari Jobe is one of my faves.

You tubing is also a wonderful way to save and share music faves.

See you next time! ;)

 Hey there! Wow, this month has been a whirlwind of my former friends depression and fear!  I couldn't log anymore entries this month because I was severely depressed.  Then I realized the root of my depression.  I came to believe that it was the constant streaming of different channels.  I was becoming addicted to them hoping to distract myself from my moods.   While I think streaming is convenient and awesome, I was abusing it to lift my moods. The time I could have spent writing my book or blogging I instead spent on entertaining fears and depression.   I'm holding off on my book and Web site in lieu of getting-out-of-my comfort zone activities, like getting out of bed during the day to pray for God's will in my life.   When I hear His answers, I will resume less important activities. I might even reconsider going back to my streaming TV, but I want to be in a better space to do so. I reduced my watching to only one channel and m...

I don't have many early recollections of mental illness that I could put into words.  I had these profound memories of weirdness, yes, that's what I would call them.  It was like every once in a while getting a shot in the arm with a serum of misunderstood feelings that needed to be untangled later on. Before I knew about the real gravity of depression, I got depressed. I felt depressed. Before I knew the definition of derealization, I experienced it.  I felt myself observing my life in third person.  I was fascinated by my own existence, but from the outside looking in. I dissociated before my therapist explained to me about the behavior. I felt a complete disconnect, sometimes in spurts, and then other times longer.

 Happy December! There is much to unpack here as there have been some new developments in my life this past November.  Let's just say that  I will have so much more to add to I Dream of Purple Skies , my book of memoirs and poetry.  It's going to be a book that is so much more than living and coping with mental illness and how I observe our fallen world through a mentally ill lens.  It's going to be a book about recovery, redemption and coming full circle.  It's going to be a book about intrigue and healing as I have begun slowly uncovering the lies I was told growing up about mental illness and distorted images I was given about my life. This book is going to be mostly about learning to love unconditionally and learning how to forgive human foibles in order to walk into a better, brighter and healthier future no matter what your age. You will notice on my Facebook page how I use it as a cathartic tool in dealing with my mental illness with an edgy sarcasm ...
