Help: Just Ask

Image
Click here for Audio Help is something most of us are willing to give, yet when My dad helping his GG daughter off Yellow. I need help I have found it difficult to ask. Why might that be? Something we are so willing to give we do not allow for ourselves, hmmmm. I have couple of theories on this. Is it the fear of appearing weak? Maybe it has more to do with rejection? Then maybe it has more to do with stubbornness. What about if you ask someone for help and they don’t do it like you want or it takes too much time to explain, it is just quicker to do it yourself. My kids used to get me with that one. Who knows, but I find it is fascinating that asking for help must be taught. I say that because I have seen my grand children get so frustrated over something and instead of asking for help, they get more and more frustrated. When I notice their frustration, I then take that as an opportunity to school them on asking for help. Why is it that asking for help for some equates

Bullies: What to do with or about them...

Click here for Audio The long and short of it is Bullying, in my opinion, is the exercise of power and control to some degree, over another, simply put it is an imbalance of power on a consistent basis. Some may take issue with the control part of my definition, but it depends on the relationship as to how much control is taken. If it is a casual relationship the control happens when the bullying is taking place and when the bully is present. In an intimate relationship the control by the bully for most is constant. Yes, domestic or dating abusers are bullies. In some cases, bullies will go after someone they deem to be less than them. The bully, being as insecure as they are, uses their victim to momentarily make someone feel worse than the bully does. Misery loves company and I have yet to meet a bully who wasn’t miserable on some level or another. Then there are those that jealousy drives their behavior. If someone is better at something than them, the bully will do what t

Self care: Part II Taking care of others

Image
Click here for Audio For so many years I took care of others and to be honest, there were times of resentment. I was the oldest of five children for my mother. For the most part she was a single parent. So, I had to help with my younger siblings. If mom had to be at work early in the morning or too tired from working the night before, I would get myself, sisters and brother ready  Me & my Sibs and Cousin ~1973 5th Sib born 1978 and off to school. When I became old enough I would take care of my siblings when mom was at work or out. I recall getting so frustrated at one time that I said, “I am never having kids!” By the time I was sixteen I was so done…. Still a child myself, I was burnt out on taking care of others. Being a teenager, I just wanted to have fun and be a kid, but that was not really in the cards for me. There were times I was able to get out, but it was limited. For that and other reasons, at sixteen I struck out on my own. Back then technology was in t

Organic: Maybe, maybe not?

Click here for Audio How do you know for sure something is organic?  🤔 Yea, we have to trust an unknown someone or entity that they have your best interest at heart. Are you comfortable with that? I try to be, but my inner gut does not always agree. I do believe there are a lot of people out there doing the right thing, because it is the right thing. I do believe I and the ones I love try to always do the right thing for all concerned. Although, it would be extremely naïve of me to think that of all people. Unfortunately, there are some people that for whatever reason they just don’t get it. Doing right takes a back seat to monetary fortune or wealth. I am not at all opposed to monetary wealth, but it should never ever take precedence over human kindness or doing what is right. Organic milk $1.90 more than the other stuff?   Now let’s look at this from an organic perspective.   I  am sure you have noticed that items labeled organic are much more expensive than the othe
