Thinking About Adopting a Furbaby
Thinking of adopting a furbaby or two? So many need rescuing due to being abandoned. Before you bring a furbaby into your home consider them as children. Understand that they are a life long responsibility. You can't just decide it is too much responsibility and just abandon them.
They aren't disposable. They aren't for deciding that they are too much work then take them to a shelter.
The rescues are taking over the responsibility of owners who decided to dispose of their pets. They are struggling too because more and more people are deciding that pets aren't family and they can just get them when they are cute then return them when they get older.
You need to think long and hard before you go get a pet. I am all for giving furbabies homes. In fact our home is blessed with 3 furbaby dogs and several fur kitty's. All are rescues.

All our furbabies. All cuddling and always lovable. Spoiled so much. Sharing our hearts, lives, bed lol and everything else. Couldn't ask for more of a wonderful family.

Struggles with Autism and Video Gaming
People seem to think that video gaming addiction seems to be a heavily rooted problem in video gaming when autistic. Well that is partially true. There is also a deeper problem for them it involves playing and interacting.
I know this because my son along with his bipolar happens to have pervasive development disorder. It is a form of autism. His days can go from good, to bad, to worse in matter of minutes. It comes from other gamers lack of understanding.
For a few days now he has been fighting like mad with his Xbox360 clan. Which is another name for a gamers group. I didn't think this was a good idea. I was right as it brought more fighting.
He has a lot of trouble with kids, and young adults alike understanding his functioning level. Which is somewhere between 8-14.
His educational level is lower. He was passed along and graduated to high school level with the No Child Left Behind Act. Now he is really behind and can't get into any school that can help him due to having a high school diploma. So much for children not being left behind. This is even happening in online schools today.
The bullying and the fighting that occurs in video gaming is downright destructive to an autistic child or young adult. He will explode due to a game. These games help him to release stress but they can also cause a great deal.
Tonight I started a search for groups for Autistic kids and young adults. I told him I would find him something after he cried his eyes out to me on the phone that no one understands him. No one understands how he functions. I apparently have a good search ahead of me. For I only found a few. It may come down to of I build it they will come.
It isn't fair that they have to deal with the lack of understanding. Some can't even understand what is going on with themselves let alone trying to explain themselves to someone else. Someone who they thought is a close friend. Even close friends don't understand him. They think he is either faking or he is exaggerating his illness.
Tonight was another one of those times when I wish he was normal. Just so he didn't feel so much pain and hurt. He can't shrug it off or let it go. He doesn't understand that concept or how to do that. So he just crys and tells me how much he hates his life and how everyone keeps screwing him. I told him (as I have told him before) that he is hanging out with the wrong people. He needs to be with people like him and who understand him. I hope in the next few days I can find this for him. If not I will build a gaming group for children and young adults with disabilities.
They face constant put downs and bullying in their lives. They shouldn't have to when they are playing a video game.

Why Change?
So many people are faced with changes. Instead of facing them they run. Fear seems to be the driving force in running from changes. Maybe you have accepted change before and it turned out bad. So due to that reason you fear change.
Then you have those people who think change is bad for them or they are in denial that they need to change.
Life is about change and growth. When you are running from change and not facing it, you are the one impacting your growth. You..not anyone else. You are putting up a road block and in a sense telling the universe that you don't want the new opportunities that are coming your way.
You need to just embrace change. The more you run and the more you fear it the harder it will be for you to accept. Time goes by and with it changes. Changes that alter or course in life. Changes that can put you on the right path to following your light. Changes that can improve you and improve your situation.
Just stop and think for a minute. How many times have you ran or feared change? What happened when you did? How did it impact your life. Think about it for awhile. Then make a mental note that next time change comes your way remember what happened when you ran. Remember where it got you. Look at change as a great tool to help you grow and expand in your path.
If you need help accepting change I offer Holistic Life Coach sessions for help with finding your path and getting life back on track for you. Goals. Goals are important. Even little goals.

Myrtle RIP
Myrtle my one of a kind turtle passed away this am. We had Myrtle for 11 years. Myrtle was a boy despite his name. His old owner thought he was a she. When I got him and I called and said Myrtle is a boy.
I kept his name the way it was and he was spoiled rotten. When my husband made chicken or pork chops Myrtle did a dance for it. When I would cut up strawberries he would dance then too. He loved salmon, and crab meat too. Yes I did say spoiled.
He loved listening to music and always had to be by the window. Believe it or not he loved watching the snow. He would do a dance back and forth when it snowed.
He loved being outside in his own kiddie pool and walking around (more like running) turtles are fast.
He hated when I would clean his tank. He would pull the filter off and throw it around the tank. He would do the same with the heater. In protest for having a crystal clear tank. He was funny and he brought so joy to me.
The night before he was fine swimming all over chasing fish. This morning I woke up and he was at the bottom of the tank. Just sitting their motionless. I took him out and he wasn't moving at all. I put him in the kitchen sink and talked to him and I finally had to realize my dear friend had passed. My husband was trying to console me by hoping he wasn't dead but I told him he was.
I think at that point I went numb. I was motionless. I couldn't think or breath. The tears were stuck and I needed them to flow. I went upstairs in a daze to get him a shoebox so he can be comfortable before we bury him. I made him a bed in it with tissue paper and I kept telling him to please wake up.
I kept checking the box expecting this to be some type of dream but it wasn't. Growing up when people died they always came to see me. So I kept thinking about that and I kept checking. I kept thinking he moved but it was my damn vertigo. Everything moves when you have vertigo.
I thank all my family and friends for their kind words of support. The tears have become unstuck and have been flowing. Going to take me some time to be ok. I get attached to my babies, human, fur or reptile. They get close to my heart and there they stay. Always.
RIP Myrtle have fun in your giant pond on the otherside.

Holiday Rush...Slow Down
Last night as the trick n treaters went door to door and the magickal night came to an end I looked at my decorations and sighed. I wondered silently to myself about just leaving all my Halloween/Samhain decorations up and just putting my Christmas/Yule decor up and maybe shove a blow up turkey for Thanksgiving in the mix.
Then I thought hmm I should add some hearts and leprechauns too. Better yet some Easter/Ostara decorations too. I mean why not. The stores are doing it. Maybe they (the stores) will see how incredibly stupid it is to pile all the holidays on top of each other.
Every year it gets worse and worse. Halloween and Thanksgiving didn't even happen yet and Christmas stuff was in stores.
At this point I am thinking of not even shopping at any stores that are opening on Thanksgiving for any gifts. I am thinking of just buying my gifts online or making some. I feel this is really getting out of hand.
People rushing from having Thanksgiving dinner with their family to run to a store to shop for gifts. As the rich get richer the employees don't get paid that much extra to work. It is all about the greed of the stores sadly.
Each year I get more disgusted. Then you get a sales employee that says we have some great Christmas stuff out. My reply well that is nice but I don't shop for Christmas before Halloween and certainly not until after Thanksgiving. The employee will then say but it may not be there when you want to shop. I said I know you will be putting Spring stuff out before December is even over. The employee will say well then you may want to shop early. I say no then I will shop online with small businesses who care about family and sales. Employee just shakes head.
Yes it has happened more then once. I have a number of online businesses that I love. This year I may shop at them all.

My Mind Will Never Forget
Every September 11th I wake up crying. That is if I even fall asleep the night before. I can feel the souls as they remember coming to walk a journey onto the past.
Being empatic I feel the pain of that day. All over again. Now however, I search for the truth. I look past the lies and search for answers.
I saw the towers fall before they did. I guess it is my gift. That day it was my curse. That day when my sister woke me up. I had tossed and turned all night and walked the floor in a nerveous I only feel when something bad was going to happen. That I didn't know. Her phone call of turn on the news made every part of my body feel cold like death. I witnessed on tv the second plane hitting the tower. After a few minutes I felt cold I heard screaming. Then in mind's eye (which is a psychc vision), I saw the towers crumble. My husband tried to assure me in no way can that happen. But several minutes later it did. I fell in front of the tv in a state of shock. I hurt, I felt death, I felt loss. It was the worst feeling I can imagine.
Every year on September 11th for some reason I relive those towers collapsing. I wonder if it will ever quit, just like I wonder if we will ever be told the truth. If we did could we even take it?
I also hope those who decided to mastermind this are haunted by the souls of those who died. Not that they would care. If they did it would not have happened.
I watched the documentries over and over. I know the opinion I had a year after the towers were hit. I know what the universe has been telling me. I have my own opinion. I am open minded a lot more to the government now. A lot more open minded. We have taught our son to be the same. You see I had kept him home that day. My husband wasn't to thrilled when I told him our son isnt going to school today. He was glad that he was home with us when it happened.
Sometimes I think maybe he should not have seen it. But, he did. We did as a family that morning. It made my son more open minded as well.
The towers crumbling will be a vision deep within me that will never stop. I don't think it ever will. I am reminded of those towers and those lives. Those innocent lives. That were taken from us. I hang my flag proudly for them. For they will never be forgotten as well as my memory and vision that day.
One day the truth will be told and I wonder if we as a country, as the world will ever be the sane. Until then remember conspiracy theories always a route to the truth. Be open minded not closed of to those you think we can trust. Look at Agent Orange and the Vietnam War.
