While surgically, I also can't have kids, I have never wanted them, and I am now 60. Saying "I never wanted kids" to someone and watching them have an apoplectic fit is a boost for my spirit. That these idiots still have no control over me is a righteous affirmation of my strength.

pretty much...

I recognize this every day....

Some days, it's just like this: Pockets of peace of mind, disturbed and battered by the obnoxious, the righteously ignorant, the insecure, the manipulators, etc.
Even if you get through the day, your brain feels bruised and your spirit in tatters.
How do we keep this up, day after day...?

Do you really know who's got your back? #juliuscaesar #ettubrute #backstabbers #thesoothsayerknew #witchsky #pagansky

In 2014, Neil de Grasse Tyson hosted a modern vision of Carl Sagan's brilliant 1980 PBS series. 10 years later, I'm visiting the Cosmos again.
I highly recommend that, in these turbulent times, you pause, join me, and get some perspective and food for thought.

Widow Goals: THIS is what I'm striving for.
To re-learn how to live again and be out in the world with joy, especially without my Sean. To get back out in the world, one step at a time, and on to my next adventure. #griefjourney #grief #widowhood #widowgoals #tolkienforever

How does this kind of certified, stanky cheese, pick-up line work??? I get around 2-5 weekly on all my social media pages. Would THIS appeal to YOU?
"Wow! You spark up my entire thinking faculty. I am ready to stop searching, and who knows, the rose in my heart could be
yours (lol). How are you?"

These babies always give me something to smile about, even when the grief is overwhelming. #grief #caturday #moxieandringo #furbabies #catlover #cats #emotionalsupportanimals

Feels a bit full circle to me. Back in the 70s, when I was living in Jersey, we would still get snow well into March and even ridiculous blizzards in April.

That looks awesome! If I hadn't already set my heart on chicken paprikash for dinner tonight, I'd probably give it a go on that recipe!

Thought I'd share this for all the #fucktrump folks...

"Safety" and "fairness" are the preoccupation of the wounded. "Being" and "joy" are the unconscious realities of the free and living.
-Mea McMahon

Too many damaged, wounded, and traumatized folks are running around throwing spirituality around like a spear. Get therapy and heal yourself. Spiritual connections between all beings are not a tool for your revenge. How much pain are YOU inflicting on others in all your righteousness?

At work, I dole empathy and compassion daily, wherever I sense the need. Since Sean has been gone, no one looks out and does that for me. I must self reflect in my new reality to focus and intentionally be my priority. #grief #griefjourney #widow #widowswalk #widowhood #bereavement #MoxieWidow

Large-ish, but not huge. Still a LONG way to go...

Spending the weekends at home for a while. I need more reflection time on where I'm going and how much energy I'm giving to work, friends, online platforms, and myself. These are intense and crazy days. Time to check my 'why' against 'what' I do and make sure I'm doing what's best for ME.

Got up for a minute to refill my coffee. Came back and my seat....was taken. *sigh* #MoxieWidow #cats #catlover #catlife #moxieandringo

Gift from a colleague. Also, currently mood:

I believe in simple, intuitive spells. Discreet & potent. Yesterday- Florida Water to cleansed my office & black salt to block & return negativity. Met with a challenging worker. Guess who left to go to the Dr less than an hour later? Believe...

The trick is, don't let what they think about you become what you think about yourself.

I planned to go out someplace new today. But there are days I can't face anything because I can't see his face, hear his voice, or hold his hand. All intentions are gone today because I woke without my Sean. Today, I just want him and the world is not enough. #widow #grief #grieving #imissmyhusband
