Hey bunnies! It’s been a minute. 🩷

I have spent the summer getting chubby. 😀 But it’s been worth every alcoholic beverage and vacation calorie.

I decided to spend as much of the 90 days of summer saying YES to new experiences. I had to not let my weight hold me back from all the things on my bucket list. It HAS for many many years. “So sorry, but I’m too fat to go and do this and that. Sorry! But I have nothing to wear, it’s all too tight and I’m too self conscious!” I’ve known this my whole like, but I’m trying to live it “people who love you do not see your weight as a barrier to loving you”. They invite you because they want to spend time with you. Stop saying NO. You DO want to go.

Summer 2023: It’s had some ups and downs.

I went to Lido Beach Sarasota FL. Beautiful beach. 2 days in I had COVID: took 13 days to recover. That birthday vacation ended quickly.

Tried to make it up in Vegas end of June with 108 F temperatures. So hot you couldn’t even sit by the pool. Stayed at the spa most days.

Went to my first Grateful Dead concert. Perks: I already had COVID so no mask. The Free Contact high was amazing!

I did archery for the first time! Love it .

I learned to play CRAPS.

I went white water rafting at the American River.

Camp and made s’mores.

Watched the fireworks! 🩷🩷

Taught my self to make my favorite drink: Paloma.

Went to a Fiesta party and a Disco party. YES! Dressed up: wig and all!! Salsa and 70’s music and dancing.

46 days left of SUMMA! Go get it!!! ☀️☀️☀️

BTW: I’m back on my exercise and diet plan. I Do have a threshold. 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

Parallels

Man of La Mancha (1972)

"Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!"

Cinderella (2015)

"Just because it's what's done doesn't mean it's what should be done!"

"And Ella continued to see the world not as it is, but as it could be, if only you believe in courage, and kindness, and occasionally, just a little bit...of magic."

As a child I grew up watching Man of La Mancha with my family (I have older parents so that film came out when they were high school/college aged) and I always felt Cervantes speech about how to see the world deep in my bones even as a child. I mean isn't that what being a child is all about seeing things with imagination and the goodness in people around you. It's why Dolly Parton as a little girl didn't see the made up flashy dressing woman in town as a "tramp" she thought she was beautiful. You don't have prejudices about people based on what they look like as a child. It's why Don Quixote can see Aldonza the Whore as his fair Lady Dulcinea and her dish cloth as gossamer. He's resorted back to a child's view of the world in his "madness" if it can be called madness to see the world in a better light than those around you who claim to see it how it is but just have layers of bitterness and prejudice.

It's why Ella can see the value in little animals like her mice and why she helps the odd looking old woman with bad manners even though she's mid breakdown. "What is a cup of milk? Nothing. But kindness... Kindness makes it everything." Ella is like a lived out real world version of the quote Cervantes has in Man of La Mancha. Because she's not pretending the world is okay she's faced it with courage and can look it in the eye and she knows it by it's right name. But she has the courage to continue to be kind and to continue to see the world through the eyes she had as a little girl during her golden childhood.

don't doubt yourself. Big "fuck you" to fear.

Some days, I wish I had the wings to fly beyond the moon and stars…🌙✨

In case anyone else needed to hear this, you already have the wings and the courage to take flight and make a positive change in your life. Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise. 💖

Just a friendly reminder, astrology can only help you discover or rediscover certain parts of yourself and certain relations. The stars can surely lead, but by the end of the day, it’s all human will. You might resonate with a few of your placements and some, you don’t. And that’s totally okay. And there will be some placements you won’t like, while some others could be your favorites. Don’t beat yourself up over them, and do not judge anyone solely based on their placements. We are all born and built differently. We learn differently. We are all on a journey to heal and love. Not hate. No part of astrology ever tells us to hate, both ourselves and others.    Take good care of yourself. You matter. You are unique. And it is safe to be yourself.

Hey!

It’s me again!

Today I’m gonna talk about something that piss me off.

Stupid ass guys that I like in return and have feelings for me but they’re afraid to straight up and tell it to my face.

Guys, if you know that I like you for sure and you want to confirm that then just straight up tell me to my face.

On the other hand, those of you who know that if I don’t have feelings for you, then you’ve got to know that I don’t and that I’ll never do.

For those of you who I don’t like in return, I’ll give you sure signs when I don’t like you for example I will not make eye contact with you and walk away whenever you’re around (I’ll even act as if you’ve never existed if ever).

The thing I have to say to the people that I do like in return and that they have a crush on me, don’t be such a dumbass and make subtle signs, be obvious ok?

For the last time.

Try me and see.
