The titile says it all: today was a beautiful day. It started off slowly, but by noon, the weather was sunny and beautiful. As the days draw closer to winter, these bright sunny days are greatly appreciated.
I've been thinking a lot about dissociation lately. It seems to be a one of those double standard topics. I can dissociate while sitting in a boring lecture or driving down familiar stretches of road, but when it comes to dissociative identity, it can't be done. Why not? Why can't a personality shatter and break into tiny little fragments. After all, the human soul is more fragile than the finest crystal. Thoughtless words break the spirit everyday. Abuse shatters the psyche: it actually is murder. The body continues to live, but the soul is changed forever.

What a beautiful day!
It is really beautiful here in Indiana today. The weather is perfect! I love it when it's not too cold and not too hot - at the "just right" stage.
I am trying to work on my speeches for the Indiana counselors conference. They will be about texting and cyberbullying and on teen dating violence. I'm trying to locate a better computer and a projector as they have to be supplied by the presenter. I have some movie and tv clips that I want to include, so I'm going to have to do a lot of learning in the next few months! I've never tried these things bofore. Gotta learn sometime.
I'm also working to make the house accessible for tutoring and life coaching. So, if anyone needs a tutor or a life coach - or a presentation, I live about an hour south of Indianapolis!

Such a beautiful day
This is the first Saturday of June, and it is a beautiful one. My daughters and I went to the farmer's market this morning. I found some beautiful plants and vegetables. I also bought lunch for my mother and me - vegan cuisine. I don't think my mother realized it!
Yesterday was my last day at work. I don't think it's really "hit" me yet, as I did the same thing that I do every year at this time. Finish grades, clean up, and leave. When August comes, I will realize that it's actually over, and I'm not going back.
Right now, I am watching television - Haunted History - so fun!, and setting goals for the future. I have a ton of things to do before I can begin my "second" - or is it my "third" career, but I can plan and dream about what I hope to do. I am planning on creating web sites and other things to advertise on the Internet and placing ads in the paper. I've been through a lot, and I think I have a lot to share with others about coping with difficulties in life. If you need me, I am here. I will be your life coach.

Next to the last Tuesday
Rather a bad day today. I ached all day and am still aching dreadfully now. At least, I can put my feet up. This rainy Indiana weather is taking a toll on my body this year. Usually in the nearly summer time, I feel better. I'm still hoping to relocate to another area where it's dryer - I just don't want hoter! I guess, though, that I can always tell clients that I understand what others are going through.
The girls went to a movie together this afternoon - the bridesmaid one - they said it wasn't as good as advertised. One reason why I don't go to movies very often. It's just too much money for no more entertainment than it is. When you can get DVD's at the dollar stores and garage sales, why bother?
I'm looking forward to setting up my web sites. I think I'll also run ads in the paper for tutoring and music lessons. I need to prepare brochures for other things - like storytelling - and put out newsletters and send emails to daycares, etc. I have so many ideas going through my brain; I'm very excited!

Monday, Monday
Alright, so I'm a little older - I listen to classic radio every day. I can still understand some of the things going on in today's society. And, to make me even dweebier, I love classical music, too; not just rock, but Bach! That's the kind of music that dreams (for me) are made of.
This has been a different spring; last week, we had nearly 90 degree weather, and this week, the weather is in the 50's with lows in the 30's! That's spring in Indiana. As the old saying goes, just wait,, and the weather will change.
I need to buy a remote for my computer, so that I can present some power point presentations. I'm supposed to give 2 presentations in November at a conference in Indianapolis. One is on cyberbullying, and the other is on teen dating violence. I'm a little nervous, and will be even more as the time draws closer, but these are topics that are near and dear to me - watching teens in relationships for 20 years plus have made me very aware of the difficulties that they face. We live in such a violent society; we need to be winners - or loosers. Even "teasing" among students has such a negative effect. We need to be aware of this, and change, and help others to change.
