Found this on Instagram:
And yeah…
So much has been going on since my last post, and every time I sit down to write, you know what stops me? SEO. Thinking that I need to write the perfect subject line for SEO. I don’t know about y’all, but it is, as she says, exhausting.
Also, really? Doctor branding?? Just help me feel better, gorramit!!
So simple things first:
Twitter. Still using it, but a bit less because the news is so overwhelming and I’m in complete despair about the direction our country is taking. It was mentioned by a coworker that every single healer he knew has been sick since last year in one way or another. I hear that. Bronchitis twice, abscessed tooth that caused my face to swell up like a grapefruit, and the kicker…I have fibromyalgia.
Yep. I’m a spoonie. And let me tell you: finding out that I have fibro explained SO much that I thought was simply attributed to stress, age, and other things. It’s both a relief and well, it’s fibro. Not much to do about it. Add in my tremors, and medication isn’t really an option. When your mom, who has been sick for 30 years, tells you, “Wow, you’re really fucked up!”, you know shit has done hit the fan. 😉
As a result of being sick so often, I was let go from my job the day before my birthday. *heavy sigh* It was a relief on one hand, because I was causing so much annoyance and disruption by missing days, and on the other hand, well, there went my income. Unemployment is…we won’t even talk about it. I do enjoy being able to pace myself as the day goes on, and I take a lot more “reading breaks”…aka sitting in the sun for hours with a good book…than I was able to before. It’s helping.
It also means I have more time to do lightwork, so that makes me happy. BTW, did you notice that I changed the look of the blog? I think it’s a bit more device-friendly now.
Tumblr. Giving it another whirl, and so far, I like it. The cool thing about Tumblr is that it seems to be a creative space, lots of authors and artists (and witches…oh my goodness, the number of witches!), and three of my favorite authors are there – Neil Gaiman, N. K. Jemisin, and Claudia Wair (you haven’t heard of my dear friend Claudia? You will!). I’m sure there are more, but I haven’t come across them yet.
—oh, wait, I just went to copy Claudia’s link, and she’s not on Tumblr now. Here’s her website. Keep your eye on her! You can follow her on Twitter, and Instagram, and sign up for her newsletter!
All in all, I think that’s everything since last I wrote. I hope everyone is well – I’ve been bad about checking in to WP and reading blogs of late.
Much love!

This Healing Hobbit's Life 
Reblogged this on strangely peculiar and commented:
I have a hard time reading my Twitter feed. There is so much bad news constantly. So I skim a bit and then move on the Tumblr. I have removed most Facebook pages, a lot have regular web pages, and only kept it because of the town website.
I started with Tumblr a long time ago, thought it was stupid (all that scrolling) then tried it again a few years later, and now it’s my place of choice. You can follow who you want, unfollow who you want, and I have learned so much about myself from reading other people’s posts about their issues. It’s the last thing I’d drop, if it came to that.

I decided yesterday to take some time off social media. It’s become like a drug; you need it, but it’s not good for you. I may blog more, but it will be more like a diary, as they were when we all started blogging, and less of a selling tool.
“…all that scrolling…”…the thing that got me was that so many of the accounts are just reblogs of others posts; I wondered where their own stuff was. Then I realized that I tend to do the same thing on one of my Twitter accounts, so…

I rarely post anything original on Tumblr, it’s all reblogs. :). You only think you need it. I mean, we survived before any of it.
