It's a little bit weird.
This week I have received an FYY phone case (for an iphone 7s), in black leather, another soft skin phone case and some door bell stickers 3M.
Thank you. I have not ordered them.
Timely, since I am planning on getting a new phone this Autumn.
Juicing.
The benefits of juicing are great. Juice from fresh organic veg and fruit is a vital food. It holds pure vitality. The more processing that takes place from bush/ground/tree, the less vital is that food source. It's not rocket science. Same with meats/fish/animal produce. The more processed, the less vital it becomes.
Today we juiced beetroot, apples (from my tree and the nursery), carrots, celeriac and Swiss chard. Absolutely lush. Energising.
The thing is this. As human souls, we forget the value of our 'vehicles', our bodies. We disrespect out bodies, in doing so we disrespect ourselves.
The truth is, that we disrespect animals in the way we rear and slaughter them. We disrespect the planet, or Gaia, by raping the seas and stripping rain forests - destroying the natural ecosystem - in order to plant high volume producing crops. Then we wonder why everything is so fucked. Excuse my French, but there really is no other word.
And worse, we pour pesticides into the earth, onto plants/plantations and wonder why everyone is so sick. We are eating poison. Toxic. Poison.
We continue to not wake TF up.
As another side effect, through disrespect of the planet and ourselves, we disrespect others, when we disrespect ourselves. A domino effect. We wind up in disrespectful relationships with other people who also disrespect themselves. With no self respect, you cannot attract anything but other disrespectful people.
This is called toxicity. Toxic living, toxic dietary habits, eating badly, over drinking, substance abuse. Toxic attracts toxic.
What we feed ourselves is tantamount to our wellbeing. I have been eating a plant-based organic diet for a few years. In the last twelve months I began to turn away from animal products. I rarely touch them.
And guess what? The people around me are non-toxic. The people in my life do not bring toxicity, they would not get past my radar. This makes me a happier human being. For sure.
Julia Roberts was asked about her 'beauty secrets' (she is considered to be one of the most beautiful women in the world - granted, I think this is true) Do you know what she said? She said, "Mainly its good genes, and I am fortunate for that, also I surround myself with good, kind and loving people with great energy and this helps with my happiness and wellbeing". She also loves the work that she does, and she is good at her craft, as an actor.
She is radiant. Do not argue with me, that she is not. Clearly, she is. She will be fifty-two in October. She is vegetarian and an ecowarrior. She does not bath or shower everyday (is water waste conscious) and drives cars that are using alternative fuels (carbon foot print conscious). The 'movie actress', behind the illusion, is a smart cookie.
I was broken last Autumn and I found eating very difficult. I encouraged myself with homemade organic soups, juicing, and small amounts of solid food. My friends, neighbours and community also helped me. I was getting too skinny. I did not see this.
I was repulsed by meat, fast food, cheese, milk and even eggs.
I had very little energy from grieving, loss, and general exhaustion. I found the foods that most energised me. I still had to get through each day, to keep it all together (including myself) and to smile.
And sadder, still, are people who are stuck in unhappy and toxic relationships knowing that they are no good. Co-dependent and toxic. You hear expressions like:
- Well, we are staying together for the kids.
(!!!????)
- What, you stay together in complete misery and dysfunction FOR the kids? Excuse me? Ah, so that the kids can witness and unhappy partnership between their parents. Wow. Nice toxic upbringing, then. Are you keeping the 'toxic' in the family, then? Yeah. Why not breed a whole new generation of unhappy children? Plan : { You must really hate your children to want to fuck them up so badly.
And so it goes on, the cycle of generational misery.
This is what happens when folk refuse to wake up. This is what happens when people live in denial - cos it's easier. First, the truth will hurt, then it will set you free.
When I see children in these situations, I just want to 'adopt' them. It is not the children's fault. It is the fault of the parents for not respecting each other and therefore are unable to respect their children. Bingo. The kids grow up thinking that disrespect is 'normal'.
How often do you go out and see a mature married couple just sitting there, with nothing to say. Bored, empty, sad, stuck?
What has happened? There might have been love, and maybe still is. I doubt that there was any respect. 'We got married in a fever' (Johnny Cash : )
The saddest thing is that stuckness. Neither party is truly happy and they put a front on it. They get used to it being so nonproductive. So miserable. They think that this is 'normal', cos all of their friends are in the very same situation. Codependency, misery and just nothing there worth holding onto. Manipulative mind games all start to rear their ugly heads and then its a no win situation. Manipulation and codependency is NOT love and respect. It is the very opposite.
What ultimately keeps people in marriage/long term? Respect and love. Being a servant to each other, with mutual respect.
If you don't respect your own ass, how do you think that anyone else will? If you don't love your own ass, how do you expect anyone else will?
It's a crying shame how lost we have become, as human souls, how we refuse to wake up.
FYI the suicide rate is at an all time high, the gun laws will not be repealed and death through shooting is on the up and up, as is knife crime and rape and assault/abuse.
Assault/abuse, is a very broad term. You can be under assault in a relationship. Verbal assault, nasty remarks. You know that men can also be victims of assault, from women or female partners. Manipulation is a form of assault. Anything that is not kind, or dignified or respectful - is not love.
Why stay? Because leaving is too difficult? No excuse.
Be the change you want to see. If you don't want to see change, then go back to bed and stay asleep. The choice is literally yours.
The more you love and respect yo'self, the less you will tolerate the BS. Truth.
I recently had a man arrested. He is on trial at the Crown Court in four days time. I love and respect myself not to tolerate this. It is intolerable.
If I have to testify against him, I will. This is respecting myself and challenging an injustice.
Time for a 'sweet treat' in the form of homemade vegan apple tarts that I made from my garden apples this week. Damn. I make nice food.
