From the blog, Diary of a Perfectionist
5 Good Things Assignment Started reading new books today – Seeds of Terror: How Heroin is Bankrolling the Taliban and al-Qaeda and Political Economy. The former has been sitting on my shelf for 3 years and the latter I am borrowing from the Communist Party of Canada-Manitoba to read on Marxist thought. Found some interesting careers in Manitoba for my MarketAbilities assignment; an RV dealership is hiring, as are Winnipeg Transit and ... Read more »

Together they pray and meditate until they hear the baby's unique song. As they attune to it, the women sing it aloud. Then they return ... Read more »

From the blog, A Blog of Thinking Allowed
Atheists, Agnostics, Humanists Have "No" Provisions Under the Constitution! In Christian America it comes as a shock to atheist, agnostics and humanist that their philosophies of life and lifestyles are Unconstitutional. Although they have duped the Federal Courts into believing that humanist and atheists have equal rights with Christians or God respecting people, the fact is these people have  no religious rights whatsoever (other than the same rights as ...

From the blog, Re-Parent Yourself with Shipping
  I know many people who feel ashamed about physical self-pleasure; yes, I mean masturbation.  Actually, I know many people who feel shame about anything sexual, but masturbation seems to be the biggest "no-no" in many people's lives, especially in the lives of women.  I don't believe a person can learn to love themselves, truly and deeply, until they feel happy and safe giving themselves physical pleasure.  I go further; I ...

From the blog, Just thoughts
It is almost 11 pm, and here I am laying in bed, and just thinking.  Thinking of my day, of what I did today and what has happened today.  Upon thinking, old thoughts creep in, and make me dislike myself more and more.  We have all made mistakes, we have all made some regrets, and those feelings crawl up on me, making me want to hurt myself for what happened. ...

and I feel good. i feel like there's light at the end of the tunnel. But some days, like today. It is hard, and there's no end in sight. And I wish i had someone to really talk to so that I didn't feel so alone. Some days I really hate myself. Some days I just want to disappear. ... Read more »

From the blog, To hell and back. A journey through mental illness
Diary from 11/13, the beginning So, this is the beginning. Yet, the beginning seems to come somewhere in the middle, or maybe at the end, of my story. This will be the way my tale unfolds. My journey is going to be haphazard, at best. As I try to put my story into some kind of order, I realize that somehow, the years have turned and folded back onto themselves ... Read more »

From the blog, My journey with a black pup...
Ever noticed how the highways are thick and bold in the street map while the roads less travelled are smaller and the tracks are just a dotted line. I think our brains are the same... the thoughts we think the most become a super highway, those we think less become the roads and those we neglect become broken trails. It's easier to travel on the major highways so those ... Read more »

From the blog, Treating Moods Naturally
I haven't posted in a couple of weeks. I have been busy with work, but wanted to update. I am doing REALLY well, it amazes me. I was in such a deep depression only a month ago and now I am not even stressing or depressed about anything. My anxiety has been reduced so much that I am working 8 hours a day in a customer service job with no ... Read more »

From the blog, The Quest for Zen
Sometimes, I wish I could run away. Or go on strike. Just drop everything and go to bed, or take a holiday. And just be away from all the work, stress and mehs. I've even been fantasising about going back to a desk job. That was even worse, and logically, I know that I can't just run away from ... Read more »

From the blog, Feeling Not-So-Groovy
Its kinda frustrating. Some days I'm fine, and others I just want to cash in my chips! I'm feeling especially depressed today. I think I am too isolated from people and I need to be around them a bit more. I'm always afraid to reach out to others ... Read more »

From the blog, Chasing The Red
If there's anything I hate more than anything, it's being ignored. I'm vain with a fragile perception of myself; in other words, I need attention. My boyfriend ignored me today. We were with a lot of people, sure, but I hate feeling ignored, disregarded, forgotten. I feel like he doesn't want to be with me, and that he's only with me for my looks. I felt ... Read more »
