"A Piece of Blarney Stone"
The Blarney Stone is a historical stone, or actually part of the Blarney Castle in Ireland where it was believed that kissing the stone can grant you the gift of gab. Yeah, it seems strange in this day and age, but who are we to question tradition? It's not like I'm saying that Santa Claus doesn't exist (OOPS!).

Lift up your crown
Always wear your invisible crown” Almost every woman speaks about lifting each other’s crown and it the most beautiful thing to hear, to see and realize how many women want to lift each other up. But what does it really mean to lift each other up? How do you lift someone up without degrading yourself?

The Morning After.....
Before I open my eyes I stretch and shake off the fog of sleep. I hear talking in the background. Familiar voices that lulled me to sleep. My inner clock tells me it is early morning, but the voices. Have I only been asleep for minutes? I slowly open my eyes and realize that it is the morning after, and according to the commentators no clear winner has been delcared. The 2020 election, the pandemic, the current state of the country have all been skewed, and nothing is clear. This is not a peculiar happening, but the manifestation of things past.

Forgiveness Is No Fun
Forgiving people sometimes just plain sucks. Having the capacity to forgive someone is an admirable quality. I admire people who are able to forgive quicker than most. I have read books on forgiveness, listened to lectures and heard about forgiveness plenty in church. Forgiving, much like dieting and refraining from online order sprees, is so much easier said than done and not nearly as much fun as other things. I have seen so many movies and TV shows where someone is hellbent on revenge and at the last minute has some sort of spiritual awakening and refrains from the kill shot or kill blow. I find those moments very disappointing. Two shows I like very much are Blacklist and Wentworth. In Blacklist the main character always takes the kill shot. Even if he forgives them, it is a matter of principle. He is my favorite. In Wentworth the main character in the first couple of seasons gets her revenge. Someone almost talked her out of it too, but she followed through. In the following episode someone asked her if it was worth it and she said yes. Finally. That is what I like to hear. Usually the answer is no with some long sad and pathetic explanation and I want to throw my shoe at the TV. Often times people say you won’t feel any different or you won’t feel any better if you do this to them or do that to them. I beg to differ and I have two questions for those people. How do you know and why not? There are a handful of people I would like to crack in the mouth and I have no doubt that I would feel better after. I would probably relive that moment in my head repeatedly and sleep a whole lot better at night. My hand might hurt a bit after but man the pain would be worth it. When someone tells me I need to forgive, it makes it worse. Add another resentment to the list.

Am I Happy with Myself?
Up until recently, I never thought about whether I was happy with myself as a person. I always thought about things that could make me happy, or of people that should make me happy. In today’s society, we see so many posts on social media and marketing about “self love” and “self pleasure”, but are we really loving ourselves, or just maintaining an image? What causes us to be unhappy or happy, and how do we maintain happiness? Does trauma really play a role in our mental state?
