Nourishment means to me that if we eat a healthy diet with the four basic food groups .  (And I can swear to you that I knew all this back in the 80's.  I knew that it was good to eat protein since I was nine.  No one told me anything. Wait...maybe I did hear it from the hospital in Galveston . I swear!  After I went in and out of the hospital in Galveston Texas for about 18 months or just until I went into the 6th grade.)   I wanted to stay until I could speak a little bit more.  The four basic food group I think are dairy , protein, vegetables and fruit .   I was laying in bed this morning when a song came on " Alexa " It was whitney houston " I wanna dance with someone who loves me ".  I had a dream that when I was about 9 or 10, I wanted to be a dancer.  I don't know why or how I brought that up out of no where.  I'm afraid that at 51, it is too late for that now.  Why didn't my parents want me to be an actress or da...

How do I find a new support system in Beaumont Texas?  It can't be in other city in Texas and Houston is way too far away.  I want to go to a selective mutism support group and it has to be in Beaumont Texas.  This is harder than I thought.  

Autism .  I didn't know what it was back in junior high school .  I was looking at the other  kids on the bus going home and was trying to put my finger on what is it that was wrong with them and that I wanted to help them so badly but I didn't know how. But now I wasn't staring at them.   When I was watching FatheringAutism 's YouTube videos, I finally understood what they might have  had or have.  Some do have severe autism like Abby in FatheringAutism's YouTube  video.  It finally had a name.  It was autism.  I wanted so badly to help those kids who  had autism.   Below is what I found.  I just don't know if this is true because everything I find on the internet is a lie.   Selective mutism is a neurodivergent condition in that it describes a brain that processes information differently, though it is not a neurodevelopmental disorder like autism.  It is considered an anxiety-based condition a...

Write about all the places that you can currently feel tension in your body. Write about all the areas that feel relaxed. I feel tension in my head, neck, shoulders, low-back, and hips.  Now tell me something that it is from an old, saggy mattress and anxiety due to selective mutism and by the way it is selective mutism awareness month in October.  Although my doctor thought I might have autoimmune disease but I didn't think that I have it.  I drink too much water and meditate way too much.  I find myself meditating constantly because I find myself anxious all the time.  

Leave it to me to find another meditation and journaling app .  It's also a mood tracker  called 5 minute journal.  It's called journal in the app store and it has a yellow logo on it. The app logo looks like this: I am a big believer in apps.  Journaling, meditation and mood tracker.  

I am sticking to my yoga and Qigong practice like glue.  What if I told you that Qigong practice helps with toning belly fat ?  Qigong helps relieve anxiety and stress .  Well I must say that I eat a small bowl of yogurt with fruit and nuts  or cottage cheese with fruit and nuts and or goji berries .  Those suckers are good!  Or I put goji berries or chia seeds on top of my protein shake.  I heard that you are supposed to soak your chia seeds what for? Have no idea.  (I heard about that from Tracy Campoli's YouTube videos . I also heard about goji berries from Nora Day .  She's a yogi on YouTube who just practices all kinds of yoga.)   I think the nuts are protein.  I do PahlaB shoulder-friendly workouts .  There are two videos, one with moderate dumbells and one without any weights.  Today, I workout to the one without weights but I added 3lb dumbells.  Because well I have a shoulder situation and just w...

Where should I start?  I guess I should start at moving.  I want to live by myself in a separate apartment but in the same apartment complex as my parents on the bottom floor of the apartment building.  I don't mind getting on the third or second floor but anything higher than that just scares the sh*! out of me. I am afraid of heights.   Just trust me on this.  Everything will be fine now since I have my SM cards, therapy dog, reborns and other assorted things to do like making jewelry, reading and journaling.  Oh I bet if I inform the manager of any apartment complex, and say my dog is a therapy dog which it is true I would completely skimp out on a pet deposit for my dog. But I would have to pay any damages that my dog did.   My other Chihuahua-Jordan was a therapy dog.  I want another Chihuahua!   Then I think of mom and dad and they can't really take care of the house anymore.  I can barely do it.  We are moving ...
