Detoxing with Kendra Payton
My space, is sacred to me. everything has its place and has a purpose. Everything is in order and I do not feel as if I have to deal with clutter or discord in any shape or fashion. I have achieved one goal already this year and I still have many more goals to reach. My home is in order, but, my body isn't. My home is sacred, but my body has been neglected and isn't feeling like it is a well kept temple.

A String of Lights
I love the time between Christmas and New Year. One can sit back and give thanks that the children had a happy Christmas. The adults, on the other hand, were as resilient as they could be because we all took some serious financial hits right before the Holiday. We all looked at each other, pooled our resources, and helped one another to prepare for the festivities to a level in which they could be prepare to. When all was said and done, we were fed, and the little ones had no idea there was true struggle to make their day happy happen.

Grandma Scrooge
Normally, the holidays bring me joy. This year, I struggle with finding happiness and joy. I have many reasons for being all humbug this year yet, I know I have to pull out of this dark and gloomy attitude. I wish I weren't so grumpy but I just can't seem to shake this gloom reverberating from my soul. I just haven't found my happiness yet this year.

Silenced
Technology has come a long way since I was in high school. I remember the excitement that buzzed through the school when the first Apple computers were being brought into the building. The year was 1982 and I was only a junior so this event was exciting for me too. Students celebrated the enrollment into the much coveted elective and I too desired a seat in the room. I was even more elated when I saw that I did indeed score a seat in that ruddy classroom.

Life has given me the opportunity to explore other means of employment on my terms. I have enjoyed spending my afternoon hours running DoorDash for the community. I have met some very nice people while doing so. Seriously, the walls of my office space were closing in and I had to explore other means of escape.
