I have been looking for a trainer who will do trade of services with me, yet have not found the right fit for my ideal workout – and they are not looking for new exchanges.

Interesting Relationship Advice
The Healer
Wherever she went, she could sense people’s pain, and did whatever she could to help soothe it – regardless of their gender or sexual orientation, politics, or economic status.
Signals
I must pay attention to where I find “yes,” and not further fret where I find “no.”
Presence Of Mind
I am of the force which pushes original boundaries, taking us to further levels of achievement.
Dis-illusion
I just can’t walk the same paths others still do and have gone down before.
Even when I try, I am shown the door because I am not a cookie-cut replicant.

External output keeps being more than ease of returns.

Being a single parent in survival mode has blocked doors inside that would open to me.
I had invested in a life as middle class, but was relegated to continuous, grinding poverty.
At least I make my own decisions in how to proceed, but repressed creativity haunts me.
Why I Deviate
I am not going to apply for a career job because I cannot depend upon a career job.
Out Of Fuel
Out of gas, out of ink, out of patience.
PUA
“We are going to send this document to you by mail that takes several days to arrive, yet if you do not respond within 5 days of the date we printed this notice, your benefits will be denied.”
Emulation
A way to move from one paradigm into another is to cultivate the characteristics within yourself that you wish to bring into being.

Mine are not the correct proportions until I accidentally overflow the machine.

Today’s Special: mango nectar, 1 1/2 cups whole milk yogurt, 1 cup walnuts, 2-3 Tablespoons molasses, 3 bananas, and 1 cup of blueberries.
So rich and yummy!

“Behind The Scenes”

The Waiting Game
I have now begun a round of antibiotics where two a day for two weeks is the regime.
I must be careful what I eat and when around taking them, and they inflame my system.
I am hoping they will target a possible years’ long hidden internal infection, which I only recently realized could be the reason I have felt so poorly – despite determined positivity.
Tomorrow, I meet with a trainer whom I hope will mentor me and also receive a physical therapy session to begin rehabilitating my left shoulder.
I am trying to make space for my own recovery and rebuild cherished longevity, now that we are where there are resources.
Embarassment
A man’s character I liked from afar inspired me to try to romance him.
I sent him poetry, songs, and photos – thinking that I was innovative.
Only to find later that he had already partaken of similar to them.
I felt like a fool – a charlatan – for I had not known this about him.

The work I have been doing with clients ends up unwinding spiral tension patterns.
This evening while praying, I felt it begin to happen to me.

A Prayer For My Soul
I asked that the blade tip broken off in my heart be removed – that it work its way up and out of my system.
Then, when others rage and project at me, the metal will no longer be there to heat and ignite me.
Then, I will no longer quiver in pain as it tears at me, and I will no longer be afraid to lead.
Then, the fresh memory of once beloveds hurting and/or leaving me can fade – as I expand into my self’s infinity.
Masjid
I went again this evening.
I cannot remember if I have been since we’ve moved here – that’s how disjointed everything has been.
I went and I prayed to Allah.
That’s right.
Because Allah is the same God as in Christianity and Judaism.
It is just that in Islam, I am already different.
I don’t have to pretend that I “belong.”
I’m a hybrid and will sing my inclusive song.
“Shiny Objects”
They capture light and divert attention, while revealing inner dimensions.
“Right” Timing
There is none – not when forces conspire to prevent it.
Therefore, choose wisely when to do what is important.
Enmity
It is amazing that people feel the need to project negatively onto each other, when between us we find the answers.
Virtual
I need a coach to support my goals so that I may overcome my own weaknesses.
Reclusion
I checked out some gyms today and have realized a new wave of reactivism may be coming. It is not a good time to be boxed in with numbers of other people.
Core Strength

Aggression
There are those wanting to cause strife, despite better solutions.

Group Mentality
Belonging to a group is an innate human need, but we should not sacrifice sanctity to gain it.
Neutral Ground
When danger signals are jangled, I listen deep and analyze carefully.
Ambitions
Some have mitigating and/or disastrous consequences.
Treacherous Waters
When politics and personal motives get mixed into power plays.

The Dark Within
Once infiltration, it masks as kin – where only in understanding can the self rescind.
The Cure
I guess I have been searching for it all of my life.
What makes humans bend and break to where they are mere fragments, acting out on remnant and corrupted programming – and how do we help mend these rifts?
But, I no longer want to be so close to the action of it. I need conscious and willing functioning that avoids reinfection.
Discernment
Understanding enough about the self and others to be able to make fine-line decisions – where if slipped would have consequences, but in executing well, has great benefits.
Attraction
A well-rounded, fully developing human being.
Imbalanced Culture
Women are denied freedom, unless they ascribe to presets in society – whereas men are still allowed to get away with the worst obscenities.

Analysis
I have wanted to work for an elite professional, but what I am finding is that I keep putting constrictions upon myself, knowing that where they are, they cannot even burp without someone having an opinion.
The stress and pressure they are under is likely immense, and I have wanted to be there as a friend and professional in ways to help with this.
But, is the trade off that I cannot be me – pure and honestly?
Media hype has been allowed to become overbloated in unreasonable expectations that people we idolize must meet standards of “perfection.”
To give extreme examples, a person is not considered “good and pure” if they have sensual needs and desires.
A person is not acknowledged as having solid morality if they would never intentionally hurt anybody, but enjoy wit and company of people involved with more extreme scenes (consent on all levels being the key).
What if someone is curious about their own identity and depths of capabilities regarding “vanilla” to “extreme” – in anything from sky diving to what are usually societaly considered “unmentionable” things?
Clearly, there are “wrong” things, like rape, murder, pedophilia. Yet, how is buying up real estate and raising rents so people cannot afford to live less incarceration worthy?
Without going further, the question is about “being allowed” genuine self expression.
I think there should be a “pass” phase where people can wear a pin or something that identifies – with respect and societal acceptance – that they are Exploring.
Something that surely I have deserved after a lifetime of varied degrees of others’ imposed torments negatively affecting and impinging.
Give me room and space, without judgement, to kick loose and just be – without worrying someone will use this time negatively against me and blemish my resume.
We ought to just accept each other as the diversely-expressive humans we are, capable of honor in collaborations while being unabashedly “unfinished.”
The Human Experience is one capable of constant growth and learning. We came here as spirit form into the material to experience such things.
We should back off from so much expectation, and instead learn to listen better, know ourselves more truly, and come clean with our wants and needs.
I am a Fantastic human being.
I am not perfect – though I have ascribed to be.
But, the efforts to be perfect just aren’t paying out, and I need to take care of my needs.
Alone and perfect vs. thriving and imperfect.
Here’s the crux of choosing one’s “authenticity.”
