Writing Is Good For A Broken Heart

                    Writing Is Good For A Broken Heart

Now I know why I started writing 7 years ago.  It helps a broken heart.

Even if no one sees my blog I am writing to help mend my mind and heart.  

Seven years ago I lost my Mom and shortly after I lost my Dad.  
Feeling like an orphan in the state you were born, raised and grew up in, to suddenly realize your home state is not home any more. 

My nephew from California flew in Tuesday evening to spend a few days with his favorite Aunt, or let's say his only Aunt.  Tuesday evening we saw "La La Land" together.  He laughed. I cried.  :( Wednesday we went and saw the last time the Lakers and Pistons  would play at the Palace.  Pistons won!! I have always teased this nephew they were the Faker Lakers! lol   He knew I was kidding, well not really. Thursday we went to Supino's in Downtown Detroit.  The "D" has come a long way!! It's nice going to Detroit.

Friday was the day I was dreading.  I had to take my nephew to the airport to head back to California.  We hugged; I kissed his cheek.  He got on the plane and I got in my car with tears and an empty heart.   

Family is everything. Or at least to me it is.  So I sit here and type, releasing tears as they fall down my cheek, humming to the tune of Carole King's "So Far Away."

The rainbow is a promise of sunshine after the rain; of the calm after the storms; of joy after sadness; of peace after pain; of love after loss;  My heart is feeling the emptiness.   

Michigan I hear my heart saying it's time to let this chapter of my life go.  Michigan is not home any more.

Never Outsmart a Bitch

                              Never Outsmart a Bitch

I've found the key to happiness.  Stay the hell away from assholes.

Think about what the word BITCH spells:
Brave 
Intelligent
Tenacious
Creative 

Being a bitch is a powerful thing. No one wants to mess with a bitch. Unfortunately, bitches get a bad rep because other people are threatened by their forthright, aggressive personalities.  There are a lot of positive reasons to be a bitch. 

Am I a bitch?  You bet I am and proud of it!!   People ASS U ME that the word bitch is negative.  Since it's undesirable to be considered a bitch, those of us who wear the label proudly are the strongest of the bunch.

 We're confident and vibrant and strong. We're not afraid to speak our minds and, therefore, we get sh*t done. We don't have time for weak, indecisive people who drag their feet in the mud. 

*A bitch is a bad ass boss. It's good for our health to embrace our bitch status because we revel in our strength, we take care of ourself, and we never waste our time on stupid stuff that doesn't matter.

You don't hold court with toxic people.  I don't waste my time in the company of terrible people who make me feel like sh*t. I recognize toxic people for what they are, a drain on myself-esteem and resources. I won't allow myself to be influenced by individuals who bring no value to my life. I simply do not have the time and have no problem cutting people off if they can't hang.

*Science says swearing is good for you. If there is one thing a bitch likes to do, it's f*cking swear. It's therapeutic. Research has shown people who curse are less stressed, confident and just plain hotter than other people. Not to mention every bitch knows the most important thing in any given situation is to get her point across. With the help of my swear-word-peppered speech, my message will come across loud and clear.  F*ck YEAH!!

* Your friends are the realest people ever.  I have a few close friends in my inner circle.  Everyone else are acquaintances.   There are few people who can handle my real, pointed and sometimes harsh opinions. Only the strongest of the strong can f*ck with me.

*You never bottle up your emotions. Letting your emotions be known is a total stress reliever. Those who bottle up their emotions are doing serious harm to their health. It knocks years off your life and even increases your chances of getting cancer by 70 percent! As a bitch, I always speak my mind and am never one to be timid about my feelings. I am empowered rather than stricken with fear of societal judgment.


*Your bitchiness leads to self-criticism.  I am are my biggest critic. My opinion is the only one that matters to me, so it should be no surprise that I spend a lot of time on self-reflection. I workout from home and take good care of my health. 

*You enrich your mind. My vocabulary is chock-full of wild idioms. Since I spend a lot of time insulting people, my words have to be my most powerful weapon. There's a big difference between a bitch and a smart bitch. I have a perfectly groomed collection of vicious words that can bring any adversary to her/his knees. 

*You're always the authority on everything. My friends look to me for everything because I always have an opinion. I don't sugar coat and will give the hard truth when it's needed. I am decisive AF and know exactly what you do and do not like. I am direct and, therefore, never get hung up on decision-making.

*Assertiveness is a healthy trait. Being assertive means my communication skills are on fleek. Assertiveness is directly related to stress relief. A bitch is never one to sit idly by. I am a person who gets sh*t done. I don't do passive aggression; I work out my conflicts swiftly and effectively as soon as they occur.  

*You won't age. Bitchy resting face (BRF) means no wrinkles. Since my face is in a constant state of c*nty relaxation, my skin will never experience the wear and tear of time. While people may fault me for constantly staring them down, I know I am both expressing myself and cheating the aging process, so joke's on them.

If people want to call me a bitch for having standards, passion, and expectations, being honest, standing up for what I believe in, and having no problem saying what I think, then I will own it on my terms. 
Hopefully, it will inspire others to get in touch with their own inner bitches and make the world a bitchier place!  
                    I AM A BITCH!!!

***It's been years since I have written.  I am inspired by a very dear friend who is now my family. He lives in Spain. Although we have never met, in my mind it feels like we have known each other for an eternity.   When you surround yourself with people who belong in your life, life gets better and takes you places where you belong. I am going to write about this inspirational person in my life.  For now I will refer to him as Yoda.  You will learn all about his talents and more.   Yoda, thank you for believing in me!!**

Feeling Overwhelmed

There’s no rule that says you have to be a superhero. So much has been written about amazing individuals that achieve the impossible – they juggle full-time jobs, study, run a business, raise children, run a household, coach the national cricket team and write a novel in their spare time. Anyone you read about that does all these things is a rare individual. And they probably forgot to tell you about the six months they spent recovering from all the exertion…

Small amounts of stress can be motivating, however high levels of stress can have the opposite effect. Common symptoms of excess stress include fatigue, feeling overwhelmed, irritability and increased susceptibility to illness.

Are you always rushing to catch up? Do you have an enormous “To Do’ list that seems to grow each day? Poor time management is a common source of anxiety and stress.

If you have trouble getting things done, invest in a time management course to help you prioritise tasks, eliminate unnecessary activities and plan your day effectively. Here are some tips from my book The Art of Calm: Freedom From Stress & Worry to get you started:

Be clear about what you are trying to achieve. Set personal, financial and career goals.

Take time at the beginning or end of each day to plan.

List everything you need to do and the date by which it needs to be completed.
Number each item in order of priority. Your highest priority items will be the ones that help you achieve your long-term goals and ambitions.

Delegate or lose tasks that do not help you achieve your goals and ambitions. Place a value on your time, and eliminate tasks that do not have a positive payback. For example, if you value your time at $25an hour, consider hiring someone at $12 an hour to do your housework.

Do one thing at a time, and see the task through to completion before starting something else. Switching between tasks can be a huge time waster.
Attack the tough top priority jobs first. Most people have a tendency to do all the little tasks first so they can get them out of the way. It is more effective to start with the highest priority task. Ask yourself, “What one task if completed would have the greatest positive impact on achieving my goals?” Try completing this task first.

Handle incoming mail once (and this includes email). Don’t keep putting it aside - make a decision and act on it immediately.
Set time aside each day to work or study without interruption - close the door, turn on your voice mail - do whatever it takes to make sure you can work in peace and quiet.

Don’t take on more than you can handle. If you can’t fit it in, say no.
Plan your personal time, such as playing tennis or catching up with friends. People often think that leisure activities need to be spontaneous but this isn’t true, it can be just as much fun to plan time out.

Plan your errands, client calls and other travel to ensure you make the best use of your time.

I would love to hear from everyone. Please contact me at mmorris358@aol.com

Hypochondriac?

Is it just me? Or do other people worry? Are you a hypochondriac?

Hypochondriac (hī-pō-kon’drē-ak): a person with somatic over-concern, including morbid attention to the details of bodily functioning and exaggeration of any symptoms no matter how insignificant.

A main symptom of hypochondria is the misdiagnosis of any slight ailment. The fear that hypochondria exerts is so great that any small ache or pain is treated as a major illness. The hypochondriac will think that the smallest pain can be attributed to major illness such as cancer or AIDS. In a sense, the hypochondriac believes the worst and usually cannot be dissuaded by contrary expert opinion.

Recurrent visits to the doctor are another sign of hypochondria. The sufferer may also change doctors if the doctor suspects hypochondria. The hypochondriac may begin to fear the doctor due to this diagnosis.

The worries of the hypochondriac can have severe ramifications in daily life. The hypochondriac may spend a lot of time away from work worrying about his or her imagined ill health. Anxiety levels increase due to this incessant worry, and can create other illnesses such as panic attacks and depression.

Many physical symptoms of illness can be triggered by hypochondria. Psycho-somatic symptoms may also be found in the condition. Many hypochondriacs are seriously concerned with their own death due to the condition, and many begin to make preparations for their death.

Another symptom of hypochondria is an obsessive need for information on diseases and illnesses. The hypochondriac will usually not believe the diagnoses of doctors and will try to find his or her own diagnosis of the perceived illness. Hypochondriacs spend a great a deal of the day worrying about and discussing their symptoms.

Hypochondria affects at least 6% of people. Many people believe that bad posture is an explanation for hypochondria. The word hypochondria comes from Greek words meaning "below" and "the ribs

I would love to hear from anyone that feels they may be a hypocohondriac?
