Why? Today of all days. I just feel like breaking the FUCK DOWN and crying. There are a few good reasons why I could (though shit, everyone has at least one) but there are a bunch of reasons why not to as well. Yet despite all of that, I just feel like crawling into bed and crying. I am sitting at work right now. Stuck in a place I'd rather not be. Stuck In a state I'd rather not be. Dealing with people who have been forcing conversations down my throat because THEY need to feel heard and THEY are bored. Leaving me to choke on it. On top of personal life issues that are beginning to compound and until I move, I can't change it. (Yes happiness and peace of being are a state of mind) and I trying so hard to keep to that but there are days where I just want to curl up and let go. Today is just one of them. Yet, I am not even halfway through my shift and I have more conversations to choke on still. All I can do is put on a happy face over my less than happy face and trudge through.

So today's theme has been a slew of hatred toward gender shifting roles 🙄

Why? Why is it so hard for people to accept other people? Why does it matter what a person identifies as? Why does it matter what a person feels their gender is IF they even have a gender at all. What does it matter?

A person should not be based on anything other than their personality! Who they are inside is ten, a hundred...a thousand more times important than what they look like inside.

Why is this concept so difficult for people to grasp? Acceptance shouldn't be this difficult. I work with people who have 'open minds' and yet they cannot accept and open their minds beyond the precepts that they were born with, to. 😔 it is disheartening.

Accept everyone for who they are. That is all there is to it.

The secret of practicing Taijiquan well is to show every movement with a circle instead of going straight!

Today was a poor eating day. Had two bagels with plain sour cream and had a quarter of a plain glazed donut. 😩😔 I lost against the hunger today. I could make excuses that I'm deprived of 32 hours of sleep and didn't want to drink caffeine to stay awake but I won't. I gave into my hunger cravings. Tomorrow will be all fruit and potatoes. Tomorrow will be better than today.

Herbalism 101: Mullein

EP. 3

Fun fact! In the 1700s, the United States first used Mullein as a way to poison fish!

Properties: Protection, health, courage

Uses in the Kitchen

Mullein unfortunately is not the best tasting herb. Because of this, it is rarely included in recipes. However, the most common way to consume Mullein is by making it into a tea. This way you can add another herb or tea to balance the taste.

Uses in Healing

One of the most common uses for Mullein, dating back thousands of years, is targeting respiratory issues. The modern use of this is many smokers use Mullein tea to loosen congestion and help clear the lungs. Infused in olive oil is often used to clear ear infections as well. 

Uses in Witchcraft

Mullein has many uses in witchcraft, but my personal favorite is keeping a small pouch of it under my pillow and in my purse to help ward off nightmares and bad spirits. Hanging it in your doorways is another effective way to do this. Ground Mullein is sometimes used as a replacement for graveyard dirt in certain spells.

Tips for growing it at home

Mullein is very weed-like, it needs a lot of Sun and is very resilient. This plant is often found in overgrown fields and abandoned buildings. It is also pretty easy to grow from a seed. Early spring is the best time for planting especially if you want to grow it indoors. They do not need a ton of water, but well drained soil is best.

Recipe

Unfortunately, this is not a commonly used herb in cooking. My suggestion is to give mullein tea a try! You can purchase it pre made or you can get straight up dried mullein and make your own!

I find myself confused, alarmed and...I don't know; nonplussed I supposed.

I currently work with three men. They are all...open minded (though I use the term loosely in this situation) two of them can conversate on a variety of topics that go beyond the normal day to day things. The third one can dip in but is not terribly open minded in conjunction with the others. The three of them are conspiracy theorists are indulge in such conversations often. One of them I have been helping to open up further. He is very into spirituality and energy work and I have been aiding in his growth. However, this is where I am perplexed. All three men have a hatred toward women. 😒

I am find more in common and enjoy female relations more often than I do male relations and I a feminist. Though I fully believe in equality on both sides. (Divine femininity and Divine masculinity) though I support the feminine rising.

These three guys are open minded, believing in possibilities of dimensions and realms beyond our own, yet they do not believe in female equality. Going so far as to blame femininity for most of the issues they find around themselves! Even though the issues do not effect them at all! 🙄

Thus I find myself perplexed. How can people be so open minded and yet close minded at the same time. How is it. That a person can be so adept at healing and energy work and yet be so filled with hatred and inequality. It makes me so sad😔.

I do not judge others. I do not think negatively of others and their lives. Yet I work with these men who HATE women and it makes me so sad. It hurts me. I am a nonbinary person and I see all equally. No hate. No judgment. No clouded vision. I see only the souls that live within the body. The energy that radiates from the soul is what I see. Not color. Not age. Not ethnicity. Not gender. Only the soul.

Why is it so hard for people to look beyond the flesh? People openly accept other breeds of dogs without difference. People accept different kinds of horses and cats without reservation. Yet when humans look at other humans, they are unwilling to accept the differences which lay only skin deep. Tear away the flesh and it will look no different. The true difference is in the energy of the being inhabiting the body. It makes me rather sad that people like the ones I work with are so addicted to their own hatred that they are blind to the beauty within. I've stood up for the feminine many, many times. I still do. It just hurts to see so much hatred.
