It’s been an interesting week.
Massive unexpected changes,
serious hospital appointments,
other things starting to take off…
And a decision.
To stop doing some things that I didn’t need to do.
Even though astrology HAS to be load of old cobblers
(12th of us living the same life? Yeah, whatever..),
I seem to be a typical Libran.
I try to arbitrate.
Reckon I can fix everything.
Decision making – useless.
I procrastinate.
I am nosey.
I want to be involved in everything.
I can literally argue for or against anything, often at the same time.
To the point the only thing I actually decide is to have a cup of tea…
This means that rather than choose a path to travel..
I hop and jump between them all.
And I’ve made some progress,
and had all the benefits of doing everything –
but the net result was not progressing far enough,
and looking a bit clapped out.
I have this FB group, you might be in it.
Roughly 900 local women.
It is spectacular.
Busy, vibrant, and as women do – it gets things done.
But it was one area I was giving too much energy,
so I passed the day to day running to some excellent ladies.
The one part I won’t miss, is sorting things put when it gets BITCHY.
Women can be so amazing to each other.
Close, supportive, in tune in a way that isn’t the same for blokes
Sorry if that is gender biased, but it is true.
Blokes can be excellent to each other – but they do it differently.
(That’s for another time)
Women talk.
They talk and talk, and examine, and dissect,
and share, and explore feelings and ideas –
LIKE ALL THE TIME!
And of course en masse, it causes conflict.
Of course people won’t see eye to eye.
After a particularly nasty little spat in the FB group –
somebody said to me:
(and I know she reads these emails)
“You can see why I don’t like people!!!”
Well I do see – but I don’t think she REALLY means that.
(I can hear her arguing that point now…)
In the same way as people say:
“OH MY GOD – that Sandra is a COMPLETE BITCH!!!!”
It’s too sweeping.
Not accurate.
People are generally decent.
I know loads of them.
(You get the odd serial killer and Katie Hopkins and things, but in general)
People say stuff in the heat of the moment.
Or they are premenstrual.
Or they didn’t get any sleep.
Or a credit card bill turned up.
Or their 18 year old has just decided to give up college and go travelling
(incidentally – my 18 year old came home the other day with the news that he had set up an ISA. Seriously I have not taught him this stuff –
you can’t take much credit or blame once they get to that age.
I tend not to even have change for parking)
Noone is a complete bitch.
The people that have pissed me off the most in my life,
have tended to be the ones (if I am properly honest)
that are most like me.
Or remind me of bits of myself that I don’t like.
So women.
I appreciate I am a tree hugging hippy with silly hair,
but on International Women’s Day –
wouldn’t it be groovy baby, if everyone just…chilled.
Differences aside.
Let things go.
Drop a friendly line?
I bet there’s a woman you know,
that you know you need to sort shit out with?
I took wildly against a woman years ago over the tiniest thing.
To do with parking – literally nothing.
Also I thought she was giving me evils.
And for years I held the view that I didn’t like her.
I’ve got to know her recently.
She is seriously amazing.
Helps people (women actually) in times of serious need.
Funny, sweet, generous.
She has a slight twitch in one eye (which I mistook for the evils)
Ridiculous.
Everyone has a story
Today could be the day we find one out.
Peace Man!
And I have some free things for you.
If you haven’t had them already, a month of recipes and a workout
(with no public weigh ins or ritual humiliations included…)
Just some really good stuff to get you feeling great.
No catch.
As a gift from a tree hugging hippy!
