thrown EXCESSIVE GUILT

FFO: METALCORE, NU-METAL, BEATDOWN / LISTEN

Thrown’s entire existence feels like it’s been algorithmically generated for two words: gym playlist. Just look at any “metal gym” or “extreme workout” playlist on spotify for proof. Millions of angry guys across the globe smashed a new bench PR when Thrown released their first single back in 2021, and the pure cosmic energy caused by so many gargantuan lifts turned Thrown into one of the fastest rising bands in the heavy music scene, garnering even more monthly listeners than some bands with six LP’s under their belt. And hell, what can I say? It is pretty angry and energetic music. I’d probably work out to it too, but is that all it’s good for?

Excessive Guilt makes it’s context crystal clear from the jump. This album is all about feeling bad about yourself and then getting angry about it and lashing out, like some kind of baby that just became fully conscious of it’s own feelings. When it’s not about self-loathing and general hatred, it appears to be about being a jacked machismo stud and beefing with people. I could pick almost any lyrics from the album to prove my point, but I’ll leave you with a line from the second track “backfire” - “What made you so obsessed with me? Bitch. I am living inside your head”. Alright then.

I know I’m being negative (perhaps the album’s attitude is rubbing off on me), but I do actually like some of what is going on here. Their blend of beatdown metalcore and spooky southern rap beats is a pretty fun take on the nu-metal formula if you don’t think too hard about it, and the production does a great job at making every riff feel like a dumbbell just got dropped on your chest. It’s certainly effective at getting oneself “amped up”, or “hyped” or whatever, but I find the delivery and content of the lyrics constantly gets in the way of enjoying the barrage. Marcus Lundqvist has some pipes, and his vocals fit the aggressive nu-metal vibe perfectly, but it often feels like cramming words into bars took priority over like… thinking of something thoughtful to say. I typically wouldn’t be so bothered by this, but it’s just so in-your-face that it’s hard to ignore. Fourth track “bitter friend” proceeds to spout more high school tuff guy lyrics over a bed of hi hats, 808 bass and spooky synths (“I don’t owе any apologies. Nah, I’m just being real, I don’t carе how you feel. Keep saying that you’re sorry, I’m not listening”) before diving back into another monotonous chug fest. The remaining seven tracks don’t get much better, and they seem to be written for the sole purpose of letting everyone around you know how much of a dangerous, misunderstood bad boy you are. Ahh, I’m still being negative. This album’s obsession with anger and self-aggrandizing smack talk must be infectious after all. The problem is, it’s just not that compelling, and it’s hard to take seriously when even Lundqvist says himself; “I ain’t calling for help, just let me fucking complain”.

Excessive Guilt is only 20 minutes long, it’s catchy, it’s fun, it’s pumped full of adrenaline and could possibly be classified as a performance enhancing drug by the FDA. There are many reasons why I could recommend this album to someone, but it’s also consumed by a singularity that makes it hard to resonate with outside of the context it was intended for. Take this baby out for a quick 5k run or down to the muscle farm for chest day, let your opps and inner demons fuel your output, you’ll have a great time. Just don’t look for anything deeper.

g/n: this is part of The Paraluman Playlist - a drabble game we’re holding for the whole month of August!!! Send in your requests lovelies;; ((why do i get the feeling that this could be a good prologue too ajsdfhoaiwjef)) also,,, this might be a part of a fic crossover with one im working on right now with jk wOOPS

navi. | m.list

“And that concludes the reports for this month’s cardiac surgery reports.”

Ending your presentation with one last click of your pointer, you turn to your fellow doctors, resisting the strong urge to roll your eyes. Some of the seniors are already asleep, while those who are a closer to your age are obviously bored to the bone.

You’re seriously considering if you want to even bother asking the audience if they have any further questions when no one was listening in the first place anyways. Well, maybe except for the chairman who had been all ears the whole time.

Meetings like these are just a major waste of time – time you could have used to sleep your fatigue away after having completed a five-hour open heart surgery last night. If it only weren’t for the hospital’s board of directors that implemented this scheme.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare had only encouraged all hospitals to hold conferences like this to support medical-related research, but The Woocheon Group, after having been praised by the ministry itself for pioneering experimental medicine and clinical trials, upped its game, scheduling these quarterly conferences to monthly ones.

This plan would have sounded engaging to most third parties, but to those who were chosen to create reports, such as yourself, do not find these meetings most pleasant. After all, these month-end reports will also be uploaded to Woocheon’s online journals. Not that these doctors would even read any of those even if published both online or in paper. Unless of absolute necessity as reference, of course.

Your eyes scan over the audience consisting of at least forty doctors until you lock eyes with the one and only Kim Taehyung - infamous for his recently successful cardio-thoracic surgery on a twenty-two year old athlete back at Daegu Medical Center. Unfortunately for you, he’s also the same man who cheated on you for another colleague a few years back.

He was the reason you left DMC in the first place, unable to continue your career back at the center with such an unhealthy, hate-conducive environment. Obviously, you knew having to work with a cheater and having to face him for at least six days a week wasn’t going to do you any good. Hence, your moving to Seoul to officially pursue your fellowship at Woocheon Medical City. What you never expected though, was Taehyung coming all the way from Daegu to sit in with Woocheon’s internal conferences.

For what? Why was he here? What reason does he have to suddenly show up like this?

Whatever his business here was absolutely none of yours, and you promised yourself you were going to be the last person to concern yourself with such.

“Any further questions?”

You see Taehyung’s hand raise hesitantly, but retracts it quickly as another raises his hand. As you address the inquiry, you still feel Taehyung’s gaze locked on yours. Nobody dares to ask another question, not wanting to prolong the useless conference any longer. Thankfully, the hospital’s chairman ends the meeting shortly after that.

As you pack your things up while the rest of the crowd files out of the room, you feel someone approach you. In fact, you feel two - with both of the presences extremely familiar. When you look up from your desk, you see Taehyung and Chairman Jung Hoseok nearing the podium you stood behind from.

Taehyung lets the chairman approach you first. Good, at least the man still has a little bit of dignity left in him. “Dr. _______, great presentation today,” Hoseok applauds, “You are a blessing to this hospital,” the chairman adds, placing a hand on the small of your back.

“All in a day’s work, Chairman Jung,” you give the man a warm smile. Taehyung notices the small gesture and diverts his gaze quickly, as if he was caught watching something private. You smile inwardly, wanting to drop as many hints as possible to let the blonde-haired man he isn't welcome here.

The chairman finally takes notice of his presence as he turns around, much to your dismay. “Ah! Dr. Kim Taehyung! I wasn’t informed of your arrival… anyways, welcome to The Woocheon Medical City and may I introduce to you one of our best cardiology consultants here…”

“Dr. __________, of course.” A wide smile forms on Taehyung’s lips, reaching out his hand for a handshake. You hesitate for a split-second - torn between not wanting to be within arm’s reach of your traitorous ex-boyfriend, or maintaining your usual professional demeanor. Maybe it’s best for you to go with the latter, and pretend you two are meeting for the first time.

“We were colleagues back in Daegu Medical Center.”

Or maybe not.

Hoseok’s secretary comes over just in time, informing him of a friend who wishes to meet him outside as well as the rest of the day’s schedule. “Oh, guess I’ll have to meet that one then,” Hoseok says, turning to the both of you. “Well, I’ll have to leave you both for a moment. I’ll see you both around.” With a short wave, the chairman leaves the two of you to “catch up”.

“_________. Can we talk?”

“There’s nothing to talk about, Dr. Kim. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I still have plenty of things to do.” Deciding not to meet his eyes, you scan the room, sending a silent plea to the last doctor who was getting ready to leave, wishing that he won’t leave you alone with this man.

Taehyung blocks your sight with his body. Clenching your jaw, you tilt your head at him, waiting on what he has to say now. “Come back to me, please…” A scoff escapes your lips as you roll your eyes at Taehyung.

“I’d even beg on my knees, _______. I’ll do whatever you want, baby.”

“You on your knees?” You raise an eyebrow.

“I am a changed man.”

“Fuck you, Kim Taehyung.”

“By all means, ________, please.” Rolling your eyes at your two-timing ex, you continue packing up, making sure you won't forget anything else on the desk. Funny how he can even extract innuendos from your display of hatred. At this point, Taehyung had already rounded the table and is now standing beside you.

You figure he’s fiddling with the projector (for all you care), that is, until you feel his warm breath fanning against your nape. His close proximity instantly gives you a chill and before you can turn to face him, he already has you trapped between his body and the podium.

Taehyung can't hide the smirk that graces his lips when he sees you gulp. Fueled by your reaction, he proceeds to reach for the clicker by the opposite end of the desk, bending you a little bit forward, all the while pressing his erection against your ass.

When he feels you hold your breath in, it only spurs him on, slowly grinding against you. “T-Tae…” you whisper out brokenly, weakly pushing away his firm hold on your waist. “You’re not…” All coherent thoughts get drained from your head when he takes your breasts in his hands, kneading them gently through your shirt, “...s-supposed to do….”

The door opens all of a sudden and the janitor enters, holding a plastic roll in his hands. Taehyung abruptly takes his hands off you, placing them inside his pockets instead. Thankfully, the janitor only takes notice of you and Taehyung’s presence after checking the trash bin by the last row and not when the latter had his hands all over you. “Oh, sorry Doc! I thought everybody had left already. I’ll just come back later.” Bowing once in your direction, he leaves quickly just as he had arrived.

As you turn around to confront Taehyung about his brazen behavior, he’s already there, suddenly connecting his lips with yours. Nearly loosing your footing at the unexpected action, Taehyung instinctively places his hands on your back, pushing you further towards him. You place your palms against his chest, not wanting to get scandalized by making out with a guest. “Taehyung…”

The blonde-haired man pulls away from the kiss, only to attach his lips on that certain spot on your neck that ultimately gets you weak in the knees. ‘Does he remember?’ You think, mind getting hazy over the feeling of his pliant mouth on your skin after all these years. Then again, your mind betrays you with the vivid image of him fucking your friend in your very room – inside the same apartment you shared with that friend he cheated on you with.

Your judgment gets clouded once more as he fumbles with your shirt, unbuttoning the first one – enough to leave a hickey just above the valley of your breast. Taking your bottom lip between your teeth to hold in the moan the threatens to escape your mouth, your fist tightens around the fabric of his collar.

Sliding the swiveling chair from underneath, Taehyung pushes you down onto the cushion of the seat. As he kneels to the ground, your heart beats rapidly in your chest, the anticipation causing to form a few beads of sweat by your hairline. Pleasure shoots through your core as he hikes your skirt up, rubbing his hands all over your thighs.

Having him touch you like this after so many years ignited that fire inside you once more, the almost foreign feeling ultimately driving you close to madness.

Fuck, you missed this. Not him. Not Taehyung. Whatever thing this was with Taehyung that was so deliriously enticing: this magnetizing aura that drew everyone to him without him having to even try. Unfortunately for you, it had also drawn unwanted attention from perpetually thirsty women. You missed these feverish kisses, featherlight touches that sent electricity pulsing through your veins.

You repeat the phrase in your head like a fervent prayer. You miss the idea of this Taehyung, the Taehyung that ravished you on a regular basis, like you were the irresistible flame to the metaphorical moth that was him.

“Tell me to stop, baby, and I will,” Taehyung rasps, tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear.

“No panties? Still my naughty little slut I see,” Taehyung remarks, as he sees your naked core. It’s shameful how you’re embarrassingly wet within a short period of time, but you no longer put much thought on it, especially with a handsome man like Taehyung on his knees for you.

With dilated pupils, Taehyung looks up and you knew you had both reminisced the time this same scenario happened in his office at DMC. The infamous surgeon draws you out of your reverie as he plants kisses along the expanse of your thigh.

Urgently wanting to fully express his intentions, Taehyung wastes no time, bunching up your skirt by your hips and diving in to flatten his tongue against your wet core. You gasp at the contact and you practically feel him smile at your responsiveness.

Taehyung starts with a slow pace, letting his tongue swirl all over your cunt. “Oh!” you breath out when he flicks your nether bud with his tongue. Taehyung keeps your legs apart with left hand while he dips a finger between your folds with the other. As you shudder at the sensation, Taehyung continues his ministrations, pushing his finger in, reveling in the way your walls clench around his digit.

“You’re still so tight after all these years,” the man says, diving in once more as he familiarizes himself once more of your addictive essence, licking and sucking at your core for all its worth like it’s his last day on the planet.

Just as you were about to climax, three knocks on the door resonate throughout the empty room, and as you push your thighs together and signaling Taehyung to keep quiet underneath the table, the door opens one more time and the chairman’s head pokes through the side, eyes scanning the room to look for you. Fixing your appearance discreetly, you put on a smile on your face, ignoring the frustration that came with not being able to orgasm properly.

“Wanna go grab lunch with me, sweetheart?”

“Sure. I’ll be out in a few, babe. Just… gotta go through some emails,” comes your breathless answer. “Okay darling. I’ll be waiting for you by my office.” When you feel Taehyung’s fingers start to dance back up along your legs, you swat them away, the realization of your unfaithful acts finally dawning on you.

“Stop it Taehyung and get up from there,” you tell him, pulling down your silk skirt that’s shamelessly bunched up around your hips. As you tame the creases on your skirt, the light above you hits the rock on your fourth finger. The gleam hits your eyes perfectly, the diamond on your engagement ring seemingly mocking you of your infidelity.

For the sake of your sanity, you don’t say another word to Taehyung who also had his eyes trained on your ring. Quickly you grab your things off the desk, not sparing your dejected ex-boyfriend a look. As you reach the door, you rest your head on the hard plastic, “I’m happy now, Taehyung. Please respect that.” With a sigh, you open the door, not daring to take a look back.

Taehyung nods silently, looking away from your figure as a tear rolls down his cheek, regret and longingness weighing on him heavily.

Selah.

If you read through the Psalms of the Bible, you’ll find this word regularly.

History has lost the true definition of the word, but it’s thought to express the sentiment of “forever”, or perhaps it means “to take a break.” One online dictionary indicates that it may indicate a pause for contemplation.

2020 was a year for Selah.

Everyone took a break, and it felt like it was going to last forever.

The whole world was forced to take a step back and evaluate operations, contemplate the nature of how we live. For many, the chaos and stress were too much to process. Mental health assistance was hot in demand, and so were yoga mats. I, myself, also attended therapy and bought a hot pink foam mat. We were all looking for comfort and means to cope in the chaos.

I lost 20 pounds and gained 80 with the new addition of my dog-son Samson. (He’s a Great Pyrenees, a massive fluff.) I know I’m quite blessed to be able to say I gained good things during the pandemic, when so many suffered unimaginable loss.

When the New Year approached, we all awaited with bated breath.

Would 2021 be a better year for us?

This year was the first New Year’s Eve I have ever spent alone. I thought this would sadden me, but as I sat on my bed sipping wine and watching Samson gobble down his celebratory ice cream, I was surprised at the peace I felt.

I had achieved more than I thought myself capable with losing that 20 pounds; making small but consistent changes in my daily diet and habits. As I reflected on this, I decided to make 2021 a year for even more growth!

I took to Amazon, searching for a goal-oriented planner. I knew I needed something more than years past, where I would make a list of what I wanted and promptly forget where it was placed (also forgetting the declarations therein).

I decided on a sunshine-yellow beauty by BoxcleverPress that broke the year into quarters and had sufficient room to document my goals and plan for success. This lovely agenda contained pages for 8 goals, with space to document what the goal would mean for me and keep track via quarterly check-ins. The blank pages in the back were perfect for brainstorming, and I made good use of it. I also asked friends on social media what their most rewarding resolutions had been and used that as fuel for thought.

Of the MANY ideas I had, I settled on the following:

1. Lose 60 pounds

· Being the shortie that I am, charts for my height indicates a “healthy” weight for me is 140 pounds. I haven’t been 140 lbs since I was 16 years old, and honestly I was probably being optimistic on my driver’s license even then…

· For those that hate the maths, this is only 5 pounds a month. This felt semi-do-able for me. I figured if I missed it, better to aim high (or low, as it were).

2. Create more, enjoying hobbies

· 1 piece of art

· 1 poem or song

· 1 playlist (I planned to make playlists for those I love, so this also seemed like a good relationship builder.)

· 1 journal entry per month

3. Read 1 book per month

· In my ambition, I thought it would be beneficial to pick a different category every month. I chose English lit, health/wellness, non-fiction, poetry, fiction, historical, International classic, self-help, biography, science focused, math focused, spiritual/faith. These distinctions were quickly thrown out of the window, as I already own a lot of books that needed to be read. And as all lit nerds know… I continue to acquire more! I’ve just been selecting the one I was most excited to read every month.

4. Better manage my finances.

· Save $1000 by the end of the year

· Eliminate my credit card debt

· Spend $120 on groceries per month

· Cut unnecessary spending (Read: regular online shopping for undies and makeup. I also found it helpful to take a break from social media, as this is where I was constantly being advertised to by my favorite brands.)

5. Explore areas of curiosity

· 1 focus per quarter

· I wasn’t sure what this would look like, I just wanted to focus on learning more about areas of interest, like fashion and nutrition.

6. Complete 1 home improvement project per quarter

· I had plenty to work with here. Fixing the kitchen light, garage door, garage light, painting front porch, painting back porch, painting the exterior, painting my bathroom, cleaning out the overgrown backyard…

7. Grow my abilities in the kitchen!

· 1 new savory (preferably International) dish per month

· 1 new baked good per month

· Note: Originally, I said 1 new recipe a week. This did not happen. I adjusted.

8. Be more intentional in my spirituality

· Keep the Sabbath regularly

· Fast once a quarter

Phew.

That was a lot to outline! It seemed a little (a lot) ambitious, but I felt it would be better to set the bar high for myself. I wasn’t sure if I could manage all of that, but monthly self-check-ins were a helpful tool in seeing growth. Perfect, I am not. I’ve yet to meet all of those goals; but seeing even some achievement is a constant encouragement.

As the adage proclaims, change doesn’t happen overnight!

So why share now?

First, journaling once a month is part of the goals!

Secondly, I’m hoping a shared blog will hold me more accountable, and maybe I’ll even get some helpful tips from others as I work towards my goals.

Third, I believe any achievement is a result of hard work and blessings from God. I think it’s only right to share that light with others. I hope my journey can be encouraging, or at least entertaining, for my friends and family.

I’ll be sharing a blog post at least once a month, maybe more if I’m feeling feisty. I’ll be posting to tumblr under the username sing-selah and sharing on my social media.

I'll end my post by asking you to implement a little Selah (pause to contemplate) in your life.

#goalsetting #life goals #goals #goaldigger #2021 goals #motivation #resolution #selah #blessed

Blueberry Waffles

Aaron Hotchner x Gender Neutral!reader

Summary: After a long night at the office Aaron and Jack surprise you with breakfast in bed.

Warnings: just very adorable fluff

TW: none

Request: none but, dedicated to @downondilaudid

Words: 1128

AN: This is my first fic, hope yall enjoy it!

________________________________________________________________

“Y/n, you need to take some time to sleep. You can’t always drink coffee to make sure that you don't sleep. You could actually develop a caffeine-induced sleep disorder that is a psychiatric disorder that results from over consumption of the stimulant caffeine, the main one being coffee.“ The boy genius spoke from the cubical next to yours. You smiled “And statistics show that the more that a boy called Spencer Reid speaks he’s more likely to be punched in the arm by a coffee-fueled coworker. “

Reid threw his hands up in response and the both of you burst out laughing as your boyfriend finished up his paperwork for the night. You have been dating your unit chief for about five months now and it has been VERY eventful between the cases about unsubs with a tragic backstory, the misogynistic serial killers, and not to forget about the cases that we have to stay for days on end because we don't have a lead. In its true colors, we haven't caught a break really since we started dating but, I believe that it’s all worth it. As well as our sleep schedule being far from normal, we haven't really had the chance to go on a third date because when we aren't profiling, we are either sleeping or having fun playing with Jack.

You said your good nights to Reid as you walk into Hotch’s office with a cup of coffee and close the door just to see him finish the last folder of the pile closest to him. “Y/n that stuff can kill you, you know,” Aaron smirks as you sit on the couch in his office. “Don't remind me, Reid just gave me a whole lecture on how tea could contain harmful bacteria can't wait till he finds about coffee beans and how coffee is just dirty bean water,” you say trying to suppress a giggle, as Hotch starts to smile. You set your coffee down on the coffee table a laid down on the couch deciding to take a little nap but, the next thing you know you're being awoken by the man that shot down an unsub point blank with blood splattered on his shirt with a whisper and him stroking your back. “Y/n, honey you need to get up please. Jack has been waiting at home for you to read him a bedtime story.”

You nodded your head, sat up and just as you where about to grab for coffee tumbler Aaron grabbed it and drank the rest making a disgusted face afterwards. “How do you drink that poison? It’s too sweet!” I started to laugh and as soon as he heard he started to chase you all the way down to the car (only poking in the elevator to keep it professional, of course). Of course, he let you beat him, but he would never admit that, and the entire car ride home was filled with whatever you wanted so we naturally listened to the classic rock playlist on Spotify just to make him happy.

We walk into house seeing Jack asleep on the couch cuddling his copy of a French version of “Goodnight, Moon” that Spencer got him for Christmas. Aaron smiles as I take the book from him and put it on its rightful shelf and head into your shared bedroom. After brushing your teeth, brushing your hair, and finally changing into your sleepwear. Just as Aaron comes in you have just gotten settled in bed ready to fall asleep as he changes showing his underwear with little red hearts and you start to smile. He cuddles in next to you and kissed the back of your head whispering “I love you, y/n y/l/n” you turn around facing him whispering, ”I love you too, Aaron Hotchner.” You both smile and cuddle in each other’s arms as you both drift off to sleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You slept like a baby in Aaron’s arms and dreamt of long walks on the beach and building a fort with Aaron and Jack. They where really the sweetest people that you could ever meet, what happened with Hailey was completely out of their control and on the rare days that the killer does get away or kills themselves, Aaron blames himself and it hits him hard. He just sits on the jet back alone staring out the window with a glass of water just holding it not taking a sip, just holding. Thankfully, lately we have been able to find the unsubs and put them in jail, and he’s been feeling lighter as if he’s on air while since you lost a bet to him the week before, that if Rossi has a monthly cigar subscription or not (and of course he does), so you bet to take half of his workload for the next week.

So here we are, sleeping in till at least 10 am, going out to lunch with Jack, going to the park, get some ice cream BEFORE dinner, and lastly tucking in Jack and going to cuddle and enjoy a few drinks with Aaron before falling asleep in each other’s arms. So, the system usually repeats itself every weekend and days we happen to be off but, apparently today was not the case as you felt lonely and cold in the bed. you yawned and just as you stretched and rubbed the sleep out of your eyes the door to the bedroom popped open as an ecstatic little boy holding a card and an equally happy father trailing behind him holding a tray of food that you couldn’t see. “Good morning y/n, and before you say anything, it was Jacks idea to make the card.” Aaron smiled setting the tray down beside him and handing me the card. As you started to read the card aloud jack snuggled in the other side of me as you read. “dear y/n, I really like it when you come over to our house and play with me and make… hey jack what’s this word?” Jack smiled and explained “I spell pillow like pilow because that’s how it sounds.” You smiled and hugged him as you read the rest of the card, “pillow forts with me and dad. Love, Jack”

You set the card down and ruffled his hair as Aaron set down the tray in front of you, not waiting for anyone to say anything I lift the towel resting on top and see three blueberry waffles spelling out ‘love you’. You start to tear up at the sight as Jack tugs at your sleep shirt. “Y/n why are you crying, I thought you would like the waffles extra crispy” jack said as he started to pout. ”Jack these are happy tears, see!” You exclaimed as you started smiling and turned to see the one and only Aaron Hotchner on one knee holding a beautiful gold band with tiny diamonds all around the band as well as ‘Hotchner’ engraved on the inside. “Y/n L/n, will you make me the happiest man on earth and take my hand, as I prepare myself to protect you on and off the battlefield that is our job. Have you as my Jack’s step-mother and my beautiful wife, so I will ask only one more time because my knee is killing me.”

“Y/n L/n, will you marry me?”

“Yes!”

"Hi Jimmy,

Firstly, every time you have a monthly call, it just seems to resonate with wherever I am at the moment. Your Breakthrough Switches call was fantastic and really lifted me up, I think it's a great one! I've also been mixing up some of the Windfall and Abundance Switches audios too, and things seem to be good in the middle of this crisis. In the three weeks between the end of April and mid-May, I've received over $4000 in expected and unexpected money, literally checks coming in the mail. Not just one, like a few, and deposits in my account. One of the audios has 'seeking best insurance on it', and coincidentally a renewal date was approaching. I switched companies on the last day before renewal and saved us $1500, plus both the old and new insurance companies sent us COVID-related refunds, over $200. So, things like that are happening. I'm feeling a lot more trusting in the Universe! I've also been inspired to start "fun" investing/trading again (besides my IRAs), and have delved into the crypto market - so far, haven't lost on one trade, and have settled in with one pick that's a long term "moonshot" investment - I'll let you know how it goes (in 3 years or so! Lol!) Thanks for sharing your gift with everyone, I look forward to the monthly calls!"- L.S.

A Witches Magickal Morning Routine

SNOW ORCHID

I’m not gonna lie… getting up early is really hard for me. If I don’t have to get up for any particular reason, I can rationalise rolling over and staying under the covers for at least another hour or so.

But I also love the mornings. The air is fresher. The birds are singing. The warmth of the rising sun is like a cosy warm blanket. And best of all- there ain’t no time for coffee time like morning time! Nah mean?

Good Morning Little Witch

I wake up to three S’s: smiling, stretching & sunshine.

The act of smiling invokes gratitude which is a wonderful emotion to start the day with, especially for this Cancerian who’s notorious for being a lifelong worry-wort. Stretching increases the blood flow, relieves any muscle tension, raises energy levels… and after 7-8 hours of rolling around in my awkward flamingo sleeping positions- it just feels freakin’ fantastic! Lastly, I fling the curtains open and let His glorious sunshine in, absorbing all that vitamin D and uplifting my mood with my other favourite “S”- serotonin.

As I have mentioned before in my Pagan Bullet Journal post, I have made a witchy spin off of Hal Alrod’s Miracle Mornings. He created six habits called S.A.V.E.R.S which stand for Silence, Affirmations, Visualisations, Exercise, Reading and Scribing.

My six habits are slightly different and catered to the pagan spirit. I call them M.A.G.I.C.K which stands for Mantra, Action, Ground & Center, Inspiration, Creative Visualisation and Knowledge.

Mantra

Hal Alrod employs Affirmations, which I think are brilliant for morning motivation but I have found some affirmations to be a bit long-winded and hard for me to truly connect with. Maybe it’s the witch in me, but I like chants. I like words and phrases with rhythm in it. Mantras are words, statements or sounds which are repeated to raise personal vibrations of intention. I usually start slowly, connecting with each word then I repeat the mantra faster and faster until I’ve built up my personal vibrations to it’s highest level. Think of every syllable as a beat of a drum. Let each beat fuel your mind, body and soul with intention for the day.

Action

This next step could be seen as the Exercise portion of S.A.V.E.R.S but I am not the type of person who will commit to working out every day. So instead I call this step Action because it could involve a workout regimen, which I try to do 2-3 x/week, or it could be the action of accomplishing some quick morning chores- just as long as I put my body in motion. I find that two things are happening when I do this- I’m getting my body out of rest mode and I am tackling a couple of tasks that would be weighing on my mind as I tried to enjoy the rest of my magick morning habits.

Ground & Center

After I’ve put my body into motion with some sort of Action, I can earth the energy with a little Grounding & Centring.

To Center oneself is to draw all scattered energies back within yourself to a spiritual centre which can be imagined in many different ways. I like more whimsical imagery such as a group of fluttering butterflies flying around me as I sit in a lush beautiful field, breathing deeply under a large lone tree. The butterflies represent my scattered thoughts and with each deep breath I call them to me. One by one the butterflies rest on parts of my body- my shoulders, my legs, my hands, my head; and as they do my solar plexus begins to glow brighter and brighter until I’ve reached my spiritual centre.

Grounding is the spiritual act of connecting with the Earth and drawing from Her abundance of energy. Once centred, I focus on grounding using the same imagery as before but this time focusing on the lone tree. As I sit underneath it, I press my back up against its trunk and continue to breathe deeply. As I breathe, my spine begins to grow roots which dig deep within the Earth, burrowing and curling into the darkness below. Slowly, I am becoming the tree with a strong, sturdy trunk and long branches, reaching higher and higher into the sky through the bright fluffy clouds and farther up into the blackness of the Universe. Sometimes meditation can be a bit hard for me, but this type of imagery calms my mind and connects me to the Divine.

Inspiration

I don’t know about you but I am a very visual person, which is why I love planning, brain dump illustrations and vision boards. I have Vision Pages in my Pagan Bullet Journal for quick reference but lately I’ve been using a manifesting journal which I call my Book of Visions. This is basically a Vision Board within a large sketchbook for everything I want to manifest into my life. I also like to use the internet for inspiration with a Pinterest Vision Board and YouTube playlists of videos that inspire me. This Inspiration step helps assist me with my Visualisations by putting those images in my head which I can then begin to work with creatively within my mind.

Creative Visualisations

Creative Visualisations are not only images but also the perceptual experience of all the senses. Not only do I see what I want, I can feel it, hear it, smell it, taste it. Once we sense all of this with every inch of our being, we can then send it out to the Universe clearly and with ease because everything we want has already happened within our mind’s eye. If there is something specific I am trying to visualise, I like to grab a corresponding crystal and connect with it as I craft my visualisations, sometimes holding it to my third eye and crown chakras for extra assistance in manifesting.

Knowledge

With a fully stimulated mind, my Knowledge step involves planning out my day, gaining wisdom from my daily divination and studying up on my craft. I track my yearly, monthly and daily tarot reads in my Witchy Bullet Journal. I also like to keep my Daily Draw on my altar within this gold terrarium I use as a card holder. I jot down any thoughts or keywords and use the card as a general guide for my day. Before bed, I go back and write any events which took place that may have correlated with that card.

At this point, not only is my mind and body fully awake and functioning, so is my spirit.

Of course some days are better than others. Sometimes I don’t get to complete all my Magickal Morning practices, either because it’s a busy weekend or I don’t have the time to do everything thoroughly… and that’s okay.

This routine is about living with intention in different ways, no matter how big or how small. If all I can manage is one minute of morning magick, I’ll take it. And it’ll be the best minute I’ve spent all day!

How do you like to make your mornings more magickal?

Blessed Be!

The Snow Orchid Witch

Becoming a full-time musician: How one artist took the leap

Going pro. Quitting the day job. Taking the plunge. Living the dream.

A year ago, Laini Marenick (of the band Laini and the Wildfire) quit her day job and became a professional musician. Like the first year of any new business endeavor, there were many ups and downs.

Laini was kind enough to answer questions about the challenges and rewards of her new life as a full-time musician. I think her story will be useful for any artist who’s considering taking a similar risk.

An interview with Laini Marenick

When did you decide to quit your job and pursue music full time?

It was a slow process that involved me testing the waters first before I committed to the idea of being a full-time musician.

In the summer of 2015, I had a catharsis of sorts after spending two weekends in a row at what I guess you can say were “life-changing” concerts. One was the Newport Folk Festival, and the other was Lake Street Dive. I felt so alive and so real and authentic—it was like I rediscovered a part of myself that I had buried for so long—more than 10 years. I came home, and the next day our song “Newport” spilled out of me which described that exact experience.

We were already in the process of writing our debut EP, and now I was really questioning what I wanted my future to look like. Those cathartic moments at the concerts solidified the fact that I needed music to be a bigger part of my life.

That Monday morning, I told my boss I had to step-down to part time, and I was part-time for about a year and a half before I finally left my job completely in August 2017.

What pieces of the puzzle had fallen into place where you felt like it was time to make the leap?

In the year and a half that I was part time, I adjusted to making less money. I consolidated my debt. I started “budgeting.” I cancelled a bunch of monthly services. I lowered my car insurance payments and my student loans. It all adds up. You don’t realize how much money you’re wasting until you don’t have any money to waste! I also picked up a few private piano lessons for extra income.

But even with my financials in order, things were still unbalanced with work and music. My work was suffering. I was trying to direct a program for kids with severe emotional problems on a 3 day/week schedule, and it just didn’t work. And my music was suffering too. I was completely drained trying to push forward with the upcoming release of my album Wandering. Things were falling out of place rather than falling into place. I guess you can say it came down to one of those cliché “shit or get off the pot” moments.

So like any normal human, I drank some wine and asked my friend to give me an impromptu weeknight tarot card reading, which pointed me in the right direction (and inspired our song “Wandering”). Deep down, I already knew the answer was to quit, but leaving a job that I loved and had devoted 7 years of my life to (plus 6 years of school for my master’s degree in social work, a clinical license, and all of the accompanying debt) was terrifying. But at this point, I was already functioning with a lot less income, so I had some confidence that I could figure out how to make ends’ meet when I left my job completely.

How do you self-manage your workload as a pro musician? What’s an “average” day look like?

I make sure I always set aside time to schedule out my week, and that whatever I’m working on is related directly to my goals—which I create every 3 months or so. It’s so easy to become overwhelmed with the all things you have to handle as a DIY musician—social media, booking, writing, rehearsing, making videos, marketing, publicity—I mean the list goes on and on.

I usually start the day with something that makes me happy and excited to get out of bed. It often involves walking my dog and listening to a podcast, or cooking a breakfast I really like. Then I block out my day according to my goals/tasks. If I’m writing, I do that first since that’s when I’m the most focused. I spend 15-45 minutes on social media talking to people and posting content, followed by 2-3 hours on music business related tasks, which could be any number of things depending on what my goals are.

Around lunch time, I take care of any personal calls/errands, followed by a short break. In the afternoon, I usually rehearse on my own. By about 4:00, I’m headed off to teach piano for a few hours. I have band rehearsal a few times a week in the evenings. I also try to do as much food prep, cleaning, laundry, and social media at night so that I wake up with less on my to-do list.

What’s generating the most revenue for you?

It fluctuates. Generally, live shows are where we make the most money, especially when we’re able to get on any festival shows, as opposed to clubs/venues. Merch/CD sales are a close second.

That’s regarding the band’s income. A lot of my personal income comes from teaching private piano lessons. I know many people might feel like that’s a “day job,” and teaching may not be for everyone. But for me, the fact that I am doing something related to music every hour of the day—whether it’s teaching, writing, booking, etc.—is inspiring. It feels effortless and fun. It doesn’t feel like a chore. I don’t feel drained. It’s a stream of income that feeds me emotionally (and physically!), and it feels good to know that I’m helping these kids discover something that has been such a guiding force in my life.

What do you wish you knew a year ago that you know now?

I let the beliefs of the general population get to me. I questioned myself often. “Am I too old to be doing this? I’m over 30. I should be focused on having a family, not pursuing some crazy dream.”

No one was saying these things to me really, but I felt like the world was judging me. And I think a lot of women who are over 30 and not living the typical “have a family and settle down lifestyle” feel the same way. So that pressure I felt fueled some anxiety for me. I had to get the album out as fast I could before it was “too late.”

Now, I’m more focused on just writing the best song I can and not rushing anything because my biological clock may or may not be ticking. Our music attorney said something once that stuck with me: “You’re not a loaf of bread, you don’t expire.”

And though I still have my moments, I believe that most of the time now.

What have been your biggest successes in your DIY marketing efforts?

Twitter has been really great for us. It’s unusual, I know, since Twitter is typically just a black hole of politics and random people DM’ing you to “check out their latest song.”

We developed a method that helps us connect with like-minded people, and we’ve made friends and fans all over the world, which is really cool. Anyone we follow usually will check out our page, and see our music video (great video content is important) which is pinned right at the top. Usually, they’ll start engaging with me right away.

I talk to everyone who talks to me, and I ask our Twitter followers personal questions. I know a lot of them by name, not just their Twitter handle. Lots of people have impressive numbers in terms of Twitter followers. But the fact that a lot of our followers feel connected to us and have become fans of our music is a big win.

The other thing I’m really proud of is all the press coverage the band received for Wandering. Doing my own press campaign was grueling work— 50 different blogs, tons of research, some harsh rejections, and Excel spreadsheets that seem to go on forever—but still, I’m so glad I decided to DIY it. I got a ton of features for the band and ended up on the cover of the entertainment section in a major local newspaper that’s sold statewide.

How about your biggest failures?

The Spotify playlisting company we worked with when we released Wandering didn’t quite give the impact we hoped for. We got added to a few playlists, and the increased plays were cool to see, but nothing ever materialized. We were hoping for exposure to a larger audience than what our results showed, and that some of those listeners would become fans of the band (not just the song). That didn’t seem to happen.

I will say that the team we worked with was GREAT, and we may try it again in the future. But for this particular release, it was disappointing, especially since this was where almost all of our album marketing money went. It felt like a huge failure since we kind of banked on this to help “take us to the next level.” It didn’t.

Besides streaming promotion, there some piece of the puzzle that’s still missing, that you think could take things to the next level… next time?

I think we have yet to create that undeniable song that becomes the trademark for the band. I love all of the music we’ve created so far and I’m extremely proud of it. But, we’ve been a band for less than 3 years, and the songs that we’ve put out are literally the first songs I’ve ever written.

Our EP and album were definitely experimental in terms of us figuring out our sound and who we are as a band. I think now we’re a lot clearer on that, we play better together, and we’re better able to blend the guys’ hard rock roots with my love for 60s soul and powerhouse female vocalists.

So, the focus as of right now, is to write the best songs we can write. We’re also working with a producer this time around, who produced some gold and platinum records. Up until now, all our songs have been self-produced, and I think having that extra set of ears is going to be huge for us in taking our music to the next level.

Your “Live from the Lake” video series is really cool. How did it come together?

One thing we’ve learned is that video is king when it comes to engaging people on social media. We thought doing a cover series would be a fun way to engage our fans and maybe get some new fans, but we wanted to make it a little more exciting than your average cover video.

We are lucky enough that our drummer, Rob, has a boat and we usually all hang out on the boat in Lake Zoar anyway, so it felt like a natural fit. Our bass player, Mark, brings a small recording device for the audio that he later runs through ProTools, and we film using an iPhone on a tripod.

People loved the first one so we rolled with it! They are SO much fun to film, but never without challenges. The wakes, the camera falling over, bugs, the shaker falling IN the lake (shakers float by the way)—we have more outtakes and blooper reels than you can possibly imagine!

[Editor’s note: Release ALL those blooper reels!!!!]

What’s next?

We are currently in a writing phase and hope to have some new songs out by Spring 2019. Other than that, I’m diving deep into social media marketing so we can expand our following and hopefully by the time our new songs come out, we’ll have some really excited fans.

What would you tell someone who’s ready to take the plunge and tackle music full time?

The stories you hear where someone just impulsively “quit their job” one day so they could pursue their dreams are misleading and make all of us feel like being a full time musician is impossible. Maybe that technique works for a small portion of the population. But for the majority of people, including myself, becoming a full time musician means months and maybe even years of planning.

Take one small step at a time, until you’re financially and emotionally ready. You’ll be surprised at how your motivation increases and opportunities open up as you gradually start spending less time on work, and more time on music.

And when you do take the plunge, have a routine in place and specific goals/tasks that you work on everyday—some related to the actual music making part and some related to the business side of things.

What are your go-to resources for your career?

The DIY Musician Podcast is my favorite, and one of the early sources that I credit to giving me the courage and knowledge I needed to figure out how to pull off being a full time musician. I also really like the Break the Business podcast and I find the Song Exploder podcast very inspiring for writing.

I also own some of Tom Jackson’s Live Music Method DVDs. Totally worth the investment for any live band who wants to up their live performance game. And if there’s something you’re really confused by, but know you need to do it to move your career forward (like licensing, or social media marketing) take an online course. I’ve taken courses with Dave Kusek’s New Artist Model and Bree Noble (Female Musician Academy) and have had positive experiences with both.

Thanks to Laini for all the info. You can hear more of her music HERE.

If YOU recently took the leap to full-time musician, I’d love to hear your story. Holler in the comments below.

Toronto’s Culinary Scene: Interview with Chris Watton (The Sidekick)

Leslieville has really come into its own as a community thanks to super hero small businesses like The Sidekick – a coffee and comics café bringing freshly brewed high-quality coffee, great reads, and a welcoming atmosphere to it’s east end stomping and coffee grounds.

It’s warm and inviting to comic super fans, and those who are looking for a space to sip on coffee, get some work done, read, or meet with friends – something that owner, artist, barista, and comic aficionado Chris Watton prides herself on – a shop that she always wished existed both growing up, and as an adult. Located at 1374 Queen Street East, come on by to discover your newest favourite super hero, purchase some memorabilia for that perfect gift, or just hang out and see what’s playing on the VHS at the back. The Sidekick opened three years ago, and like most heroes it arrived in the neighbourhood as the only comic shop and café, just in the nick of time.

What inspired you to open a comic book themed café?

Growing up, my local café was a sanctuary to escape- a place of good conversation, a space to take a minute and tackle a new book, a creative jump-start for sketching, and so much more! My afternoons and evenings spent there are some of my coziest and most vibrant memories. I was as dedicated to my visits to that hub as I was to my weekly trip to my hometown's comic shops to pick up Wednesday new releases. However, those trips were often peppered with bad experiences, awkward encounters, and dismissive staffers. I often wished that I could have the coffee and good vibes of my favourite café spot along with the books I would trek out to pick up.

When I moved to Toronto, I opened a Pull List (A list of comics people know they’ll be buying every month. Increasingly more comic shops are offering Pull List programs and will set aside particular issues for regular clients who don’t want to miss any issues) at a comic shop here, where picking up my books and interacting with staff became a weekly highlight. We would chat on the fire escape about comics, movies, and everything in between. Then we would go in search of a decent cup of coffee. Again, I found myself longing for both in the same social and creative space. Whenever I was frustrated with school, work, or anything in between, I would imagine a future in which such a place existed.

In a way, The Sidekick was something I wanted for so long, that I hardly remember NOT wanting it.

Tell me about how you got started in the food industry and why you decided to pursue a career in the business?

I have about nine years of café experience ranging from coffee bars to bigger shops that prepare food on-site. Being a barista has always clicked with me and preparing a great cup of coffee or espresso drink for someone is an extremely gratifying experience.

Has comic book culture changed since your own childhood? How has it evolved in Toronto?

I'm a child of 90's comics, so when I first started reading comics Image had just been formed, Spawn was big, and every hero was fighting demons or getting cybernetic enhancements. Grunge in comics was alive and thriving!

While there are still some great hyperviolent grit-dark titles in comics and the Image imprint is still a mark of exciting new creator-owned comics, much has changed in the industry. There are so many new publishing houses to choose from, all showcasing their own range of unique titles and voices! Also, independent and self-published titles are huge in Toronto and a variety of cities. Events like Toronto Comics and Arts Festival (TCAF) and Canzine are just a few examples of great festivals in Toronto dedicated to showing off small press comics, and the push for diversity in storytelling has exploded! It's such a great time to be involved in such a vibrant medium. Because Toronto is a hub, I get to meet more creators than I ever dreamed I would, and showcase their work while providing a great work/meet space.

How do you make sure that your café is both accessible and interesting for comic newbies and die-hard comic fans?

At The Sidekick we take both old-school and new approaches to comics retail. We host a smattering of single issue comics released every Wednesday and offer a Pull List subscription box to regulars who have monthly titles that they wish to follow. That's the classic comics game!

Outside of that, we put a focus on our Best Selling and Staff Recommended Reads, as well as boast a vast selection of all ages books for new readers. All staff at the shop are responsible for suggestions on the monthly orders as well as staying up-to-date on current titles so that we will all be ready to make a new suggestion based on a customer's preferences. By staying in touch with some of our favourite creators over social media, we can provide early insight into titles that are coming or are only available through the creators themselves.

The Sidekick also offers a Weekly Pull Podcast on iTunes, pod bean, and Google Play where we break down the week's releases. All the episodes are sorted by date and recorded Tuesday night to keep it as current as possible.

What advice can you offer to budding entrepreneurs who want to open their own business/café /restaurant?

Be ready for your venture to take over your life. No matter what it is, going independent will eat all your other pursuits, defy your expectations, and change the way you experience the world around you. It's easy to get lost in the day-to-day operations, but never forget what made you take on your project and the passion that fueled it. Mark your progress, celebrate your accomplishments, be grateful to the people around you, and never stop trying to make things better than they were yesterday.

What have been the biggest challenges of opening The Sidekick and running it for three years? What have been the biggest successes?

There are so many challenges to opening a small business that no one tells you about! From renovating a space, to keeping your bookkeeping on track, to staying stocked up and current with your offerings, it's a marathon you run every day of the week. The biggest challenge is seeing the bigger picture and remembering that there was a time when you wanted what you currently have more than anything else. It's harnessing that feeling and staying positive and motivated that is a big challenge I think for everyone, no matter the job.

The Sidekick has exceeded my expectations in so many ways. We are in a thriving community filled with lovely people and regulars of all types, and it's so amazing to see such a diverse range of readers enjoying the space, picking up books, playing games, and crunching out some work. As I mentioned, I have met some of my favourite creators and been able to preview books and review/edit new material, which is always a flattering and exciting request.

Also, last year I purchased a 5kg coffee roaster and now oversee not just the brewing process, but also the sourcing of green coffee and roasting itself, which is a great new challenge and joy. I have wanted to be able to curate every possible aspect of our coffee program, and now I am able to ensure quality at every point in the process from sourcing green coffee straight through to your cup.

What are your favourite items on The Sidekick menu?

I really appreciate a damn fine cup of coffee, so brewing a rotating selection of fresh-roasted single origin coffees in a classic pour-over style allows me to make that happen for even the smallest bar orders.

Our special thing is The Sidekick (which we joke is our "double-double"). It's two double shots of espresso with an equal ratio of steamed milk- so a little 8oz drink with a big kick! It'll get you where you must go.

Businesses have started to tap into adults wanting to have more fun with their food, drink, and spare time. How does The Sidekick tap into adults better tuning in to their inner child and foodie?

We put just as much love into the space as we do our selection of offerings at The Sidekick. We have a variety of music playlists according to weather and desired vibe, as well as a pile of board games and a reader bin of comics for patrons to enjoy. There is also a small VHS player at the back of the shop, so campy classic movies are always playing in the background. Basically, we try to encapsulate all the geeky things we love every day of the week in the hopes that we can build the escapist paradise we want to see in the world.

The Sidekick is essentially several businesses in one, how do you balance the demands of the café and the shop?

I juggle my varying jobs to the best of my ability every day, based on order cycles and the needs of the business. I've always been nerdy about both coffee and comics, so staying on top of trends and new and exciting offerings on both sides was always a part of my life- but now it is also my job! I want The Sidekick to be the best it can be, and that drives me to be constantly making sure our books are stocked, our coffees are on point, and that I'm always planning something new.

Why did you decided to partner with Desmond & Beatrice and Tori's Bakeshop?

I am lucky to be partnered with equally passionate people running great kitchens with awesome selections of wholesale offerings for cafés like mine. I make sure to have a smattering of different pastries from savoury to sweet, regular to vegan, to suit all tastes and food allergies. Thank the lovely kitchen wizards who make that happen!

What upcoming events/projects at The Sidekick are you most excited about?

We are currently trying a Comedy Night at The Sidekick the last Thursday of every month and bringing in local breweries to run beer tastings alongside, so we are excited to see how that goes. There are a couple of signings for local writers/artists with new comics out this year. We have a pay-what-you-can Tarot Card Reader who will be sitting in on the Saturday before Halloween to do readings for patrons, and we also participate in Halloween Free Comic Day, and encourage trick-or-treaters to visit our decked-out space for candy and free comics! We may also host a pumpkin carving night. I am also planning a Teapot Painting in November, so that kids and adults can get on crafting early Christmas gifts.

I'm open to hosting events in our space and encourage people to e-mail me to pitch their ideas. We are a creative community hub and we hope that we can foster a good environment for people to get together and enjoy that familiar coziness or try something new.

Can you name your all-time favourite comic book, hero, villain, and anti-hero?

My favourite running comic series is Hellboy, hero is Spider-Man, villain is Clayface, and anti-hero is Spawn. Come by to check out my favourite new comics anytime!

Off the grid, tiny house living, in the city!

New Post has been published on http://www.mozurii.com/off-grid-tiny-house-living-city/

Off the grid, tiny house living, in the city!

My life serves as a voice and example for those who wish to simplify their life and learn to tread lightly on the earth while leaving a positive impact on humanity. It is an extreme example for sure but with the hopes to inspire you to make small changes in your life, one step, one day at a time.

For frequently asked questions see http://www.robgreenfield.tv/theteenyg… and for more videos here’s The Teeny Greeny playlist: https://bit.ly/TeenyVideos (This video is an update from the original tour and answers many of the questions that were frequently asked.)

Ron Swanson: unbelievable how some places have made it illegal to collect rainwater

Merete Mitfuldenavn: What about bad weather? A storm or heavy rain? Then you can’t cook nor use your loo…

Pointl Ess: This would actually be a really good project for homeless people.

Alex Black: If everyone starts living like this we would go back to middle ages.

Bryan Baggett: Rob, I think you are missing a potential fuel source. The methane in human farts can be lit on fire and could possibly provide the fuel needed to power your stove. I just want to make sure you knew about this valuable alternate energy source.

Belle Singer: You look happy and healthy like most who live off the grid fun on the swing too!

Rozelyn Roux: You speak very eloquently. Inspiring me to simplify even more 🙂 I know how freeing it can be!

TheStoneSpiral: Oh man, I am so jealous, but I’m getting there. I just got enough from my taxes to just about wipe out my student debt. After that I just need to get the last credit card down ($500 because my car needed a new started), and at that point I’ll be able to save for a piece of foreclosed land at least.

Orson Durkin: Nice box, all it needs are some handles along side and a top opening for viewing the body.

Cat From The Future: I envy this lifestyle, I might peruse it in the future. My wonder is whether or not it is realistic to raise a family living like this, though.

"Hi Jimmy,

I just want to let you know how much I appreciate your prayer service. I truly think it is the only thing keeping me from losing my shit :)

I see so many possible places in my life where things could turn dramatic and chaotic (as I have witnessed with many close to me), and since I've been on your prayer list, everything seems to sort of stay on an even keel. The most I struggle with is some depressive issues.

I used some of your verbiage in my prayer list this time, because it seemed most appropriate and fit so well--I hope this was okay. I've been revisiting some of your MyBeliefWorks mp3s as well, and they give me an added boost and renewed focus.

I am seeing the positive effects of this new prayer list in action already, it just blows me away!! Thank you again, for all you do. I hope you had a fantastic birthday." - Nichole
