The Hot Flash!

So, I am a woman of a certain age and have entered into my pre-winter season...
THE MEN ALL PAUSE (when  I walk into the room) - because I am a bitch most days!!!!

It's winter time, and no one knows that Truth better than the Midwest! One day it's 50 degrees outside. Folks are walking around with no coats, riding their bikes, and wearing flip-flops. The next day the streets are covered with black ice (as opposed to white), schools are on 2-hour delay or closed altogether, and your water pipes are frozen.

 In the meantime, I am stuck in the house having my own personal DESERT STORM!

  

Now, mind you the cold weather causes me a great deal of stress and for me to cope I regularly consume all of the items which trigger hot flashes: Caffeine, Alcohol, Chocolate, Spicy Chips, and Sweets!

As a side note: the hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia cause me more stress, thereby increasing the consumption of those items which trigger more hot flashes. DAMN! I can't win for losing.

Now, I am a nurse, and I do know some things...

Like, I could stop consuming the trigger items (but that's not going to happen, and so the weight gain will and has already begun)!

I could exercise. I do have a stationary recumbent bike staring me dead in the face (but I am not motivated, I'd rather write and I can't write and ride the bike at the same time)!

I could take a warm bath or shower before bed (now my ass is already hot, who the fuck is going to do that)?

I could take drugs/medications or even natural remedies (but I am non-compliant, and I won't stick with it, even if there are benefits)!

So, I suffer in silence.

With my hand fan...

My ceiling fan...

My floor fan...

My African print Caftan...

(I can't tolerate clothes & actually prefer to be naked all day!)

And, my "robotic" piece of a man...
(Usually, quite horny on a daily basis, no hu-man can keep up!)

I know it sounds silly, because knowledge is power, and applied knowledge is wisdom. But when it's cold outside, I only wanted to be warm, comfortable, and cozy.

I am not a morning person, so I NEED my morning cup of JOE (my liquid man).  I don't eat meat, so I NEED those spicy chips and Ghiradelli caramel and chocolate squares (reduces the size of my horns).

I am a  reader and a writer, so I NEED that Hopwood wine every other evening (Sweet Lailah, the sinner and Chambourcin Black, the thriller)!

HOPWOOD WINE CELLARS

(Become a member & have wine delivered straight to your door!)

 I don't have many friends, and I don't talk as much as I'd like, so I NEED those 

Peppermints and Jelly Beans! 

Don't get me wrong, I know I have no right to complain, be angry, sad or mad...

But one day, I will talk with my Creator, or maybe we'll just read each other's minds. And I'll say...

READ ALL ABOUT IT!

HE/SHE/IT/THEM/YOU must know that I have never appreciated being burdened with menses, cramps, nausea, fibroids, a tilted uterus, dysplasia, labor pains, or menopause!

Therefore, I request that I return to my originating destination, never EVER to return to this material realm again! Pretty Please, with Sugar on Top???💖💗💘💝

I just had another one. Damn!😡

If These Jeans Could Talk???

Are you like me?

I mean do you have those one favorite pair of jeans that fit every curve of your body, just right?

The jeans you had for a few years or maybe even as long as ten years!

Those perfect jeans that seem to fit after you have gained or lost 5 to 10 pounds.

The jeans that capture everyone’s attention when you walk into a room, a club, or even at work on casual Fridays.

Now, do you know the jeans IAM talking about?

Yes, those jeans.

Well, I have a pair of those jeans. Actually, they have evolved over time just like I have. And, no matter what is going on with or in my body, I always seem to have in my possession that one pair of jeans that seem to correspond with every mood and every occasion of my life and especially when nothing else seems to work!

Over the years that favorite pair of jeans may have been Levi’s, Calvin Klein, Sassoon, Gloria Vanderbilt, Jordache, Yves Saint Laurent, Guess, Gap or even Lee and Wrangler; for the Ol' Skoolers. Nu Skoolers have Tru Religion, Apple Bottoms, Baby Phat, Diesel, Lucky Brand, Seven, Lucky, G-Star Raw, and Pepe.

Today, they may have a bit of Lycra, spandex, or some other form of stretch; they may even be called “Jeggings”.  

Now, those jeans may be straight leg, tight leg, or boot cut; low riders, high-waist, boyfriend cut; cut-up, ripped-up, torn-up; damn near shredded up, faded, bleached, stonewashed, prewashed, ready-to-fade, like Burger King they come made your way!

No matter the brand, style, or the color, it, was and will always be about the “FIT”!

How they felt and how they make you feel.

How you walked and moved in them as well as the ease of getting out of them.

How you feel after eating in them, no need to un-belt and unbuckle them, because those jeans know you and you know them.

They relax when you relax, and they perk up when you do.

And, they love when you accent them with the perfect top, belt, and shoes.

They get excited when you allow them to be the center of attraction. You know, those days when you break out the iron and padded ironing board, a bottle of water, and a can of spray starch; Faultless or my favorite, Niagara!

Remember how you ironed them so often, they developed a permanent white crease down the middle; so much so, they could almost stand up on their own? (The fellas know what IAM talking about – yeah, those jeans!)

Or maybe, they were the jeans that were so laid back, they look better un-ironed and un-belted, dropping sexily around your lower waist kissing your hips, just enough to let that backbone slip; Worn with an alluring white tee shirt or black tank top, hell it didn’t matter what you paired them with, the look was always HOTT!

Then came winter when you combined them with the infamous black turtleneck. Be it cotton, cotton-blend, or a wool sweater; long sleeves, tall riding boots, black leather bomber jacket, and you had it going on. But it was all about those jeans and the way you felt when you pulled them on!

Ok, so now you that know the jeans IAM talking about; what if they could talk?

What if they could tell you about all the places they have gone and the many things they have seen, whether from the floor or thru a window screen.

What if those jeans could talk?

What if they told you, someone else had them on? Would you feel betrayed?

What if they said, we don’t want to be worn today, you are about to do something we don’t want to be involved in?

What if they told you they don’t like the company you keep or the places you go?

What if your favorite jeans, yelled at you when you stuffed your pockets or made the belt too tight?

What if those jeans said they don’t like the dark or going out at night?

How about if they screamed when you used them as a drying cloth instead of using the hand dryer or a paper towel?

What if they shrunk on purpose, because you washed them in hot water or dried them too long?

How would you feel if your favorite jeans cursed you when you allowed ketchup, oil, or syrup to drip on them and just rubbed it in instead wiping it off?

Oh, what about pulling them down around your legs instead of taking them off when you were about to get busy. Forcing them to move in ways they were not designed to move. Subjecting them to the torture of wrinkles and body fluids, and unimaginable sounds never to be endured by you’re a pair of jeans!

What if our favorite jeans could talk?

Would they tell you what the other jeans are saying about you?

Would they tell you that the other jeans don’t like you anymore? You know the ones that don’t get worn as often, that cost’s more money, that are name brand, and have the best detailing on the pockets?

Would your favorite jeans ever betray your trust?

What if those favorite jeans could talk?

Would they tell your husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend, where you were last night?

Would they reveal who you were with and what you did?

Would your pockets unleash your deepest darkest secrets? Or did those numbers get washed in the laundry instead?

Or, are your pockets planning a revolt, because you never seem to use them anymore?  Even though they are big enough to accommodate your wallet and your phone, that use now goes unnoticed. Instead, you carry a phone case that has room for your identification and even a credit card; or, you use your phone to conduct all your financial transactions now. Why even bother with pockets, because you now give your spare change to the charity jar on the counter or throw into the “no purpose” space in your car’s center console.

Have you ever thought about what you would do, if your jeans could talk?

Would you take better care of them, knowing how they feel?

Would you ensure to utilize every feature of your jeans to the fullest extent of their purpose?

Would you limit the number of jeans you purchase, and would you be mindful about the number of times you wore them between washes and wearing other jeans?

Would you listen to the fabric of your jeans to guide how you wear them, where you wear them to, and how you wear them?

IAM just wondering, what I would do if my jeans could talk.

After writing and reading this article, I have concluded all is Energy.

Yes, including my jeans and my genes.

And it is because of this realization, that I acknowledge that my jeans are an extension of me. They reflect my personality, my taste, my mood, my plan for the day, my goals for the evening, and my journey throughout this thing we call life. I love my jeans as much as I love any other form of matter. For they are no more immaterial than IAM material.

If my jeans could talk, they would say that they enjoy the life they share with this risk-taking Spirit driving around in the vehicle known as CeleXy. They would say, that they consider it an honor to wrap themselves around my waist and my thighs as they experience the world thru beautiful brown eyes!

After-all, who else would ever even consider writing a blog about jeans…. TALKING?!!

Who the F are THEY?

If you have ever read the bible or any other religious text, you may have noticed frequent use of the word "THEY."

"Therefore, speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand." (Matthew 13:13/KJV)

If you have ever spoken to a conspiracist, you have also heard them refer to "They."

"They will call us crazy. Until they find out, we are right."

If you have ever spoken to celebrities, politicians, or any other high-level citizen in any country, you may have also heard of a group of people referred to as "They."

"Hollywood is a place where THEY will pay a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul." - Marilyn Monroe

"Yes, they do want to reduce the population."

Finally, if you know or have ever spoken to me in conversation, you have undoubtedly heard me mention "They" when referring to a group of individuals related to the topic at hand.

"They make the decisions, but never consider the people were doing the work."

Every story (like a coin) has two sides. Well, I flipped a coin and got "Tails," so this is the story of the 1st side. (I will discuss the "Head" side in a later post).

According to etymonline.com, the word "THEY" is colloquial use for "anonymous people in authority." In each of the quotes mentioned above, anonymous people in authority (or perceived authority) are who are precisely referenced.

NOTE: This blog post was originally going to be a "random thought" post on Facebook, and read as follows: 

"Iain't trynna be funny, but you know how the bible & Jesus frequently refer to a THEY?  Well, what if THEY are not the average (asleep) man/woman, but so-called Illuminati? Those who utilize the Apocalyptic Gnosis (concealed, but now being revealed knowledge of the Ages) and have chosen to swing extreme left or right of the center (narrow gate) and thus, influencing the consciousness of humanity to be imbalanced. Could this concept also be responsible for why it is said that the world is "tilted on its axis"?  Is this why there is a Wobble? And, when I participate in the line dance for Wobble Baby, Iam a part of the problem? Are we blindly accepting and celebrating this imbalance?

I realized by this time in my writing, the

thought was no longer random but more focused on a vision, and this blog post is the manifestation!

If philosophical statements such as there are valid... 

"As above, so below" 

 "We are a microcosm of the macrocosm"

"We are the entire ocean reflected in one drop"

"We are in the universe just as the universe is in us"

And, everything is cyclic in nature...

Then is it then possible that an imbalanced consciousness can cause a global imbalance and vice versa?

Before you attempt to answer those questions, let us explore the defining characteristics of these authorities or governing bodies; the Pharisees and Sadducees (Jesus' timeline) and the Illuminati (our current timeline).

The Sadducees: During the time of Christ and the New Testament era, the Sadducees were aristocrats. They tended to be wealthy and held powerful positions, including that of chief priests and high priest, and they held the majority of the 70 seats of the ruling council called the Sanhedrin. They worked hard to keep the peace by agreeing with the decisions of Rome (Israel at this time was under Roman control), and they seemed to be more concerned with politics than religion. Because they were accommodating to Rome and were the wealthy upper class, they did not relate well to the common man, nor did the common man hold them in high opinion. The common man related better to those who belonged to the party of the Pharisees. Though the Sadducees held the majority of seats in the Sanhedrin, history indicates that much of the time they had to go along with the ideas of the Pharisaic minority, because the Pharisees were popular with the masses.

In contrast to the Sadducees, the Pharisees were mostly middle-class businessmen, and therefore were contact with the common man. The Pharisees were held in much higher esteem by the common man than the Sadducees. Though they were a minority in the Sanhedrin and held a minority number of positions as priests, they seemed to control the decision making of the Sanhedrin far more than the Sadducees did, again because they had the support of the people.

Religiously, they accepted the written Word as inspired by God. At the time of Christ's earthly ministry, this would have been what is now our Old Testament. But they also gave equal authority to oral tradition and attempted to defend this position by saying it went all the way back to Moses.

The Illuminati (plural of Latin illuminatus, "enlightened") is a name given to several groups, both real and fictitious. Historically, the name usually refers to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on 1 May 1776. The society's goals were to oppose superstition, obscurantism, religious influence over public life, and abuses of state power. "The order of the day," they wrote in their general statutes, "is to put an end to the machinations of the purveyors of injustice, to control them without dominating them."[1] The Illuminati—along with Freemasonry and other secret societies—were outlawed through edict, by the Bavarian ruler, Charles Theodore, with the encouragement of the Roman Catholic Church, in 1784, 1785, 1787, and 1790.[2] In the several years following, the group was vilified by conservative and religious critics who claimed that they continued underground and were responsible for the French Revolution.

Many influential intellectuals and progressive politicians counted themselves as members, including Ferdinand of Brunswick and the diplomat Xavier von Zwack, who was the Order's second-in-command. [3] It attracted literary men such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Johann Gottfried Herder and the reigning dukes of Gotha and Weimar.[4]

In subsequent use, "Illuminati" refers to various organizations which are reported to have links to the original Bavarian Illuminati or similar secret societies, though these links are unsubstantiated. They are often alleged to conspire to control world affairs, by masterminding events and planting agents in government and corporations, in order to gain power and influence and to establish a New World Order. Central to some of the most widely known and elaborate conspiracy theories, the Illuminati have been depicted as lurking in the shadows and pulling strings for dozens of novels, films, television shows, comics, video games, and music videos.

The Illuminati is an elite organization of world leaders, business authorities, innovators, artists, and other influential members of this planet. Our coalition unites influencers of all political, religious, and geographical backgrounds to further the prosperity of the human species as a whole.

Sorry, I know it's a lot of information to digest! 

But, remember knowledge is power and

applied knowledge experienced is wisdom!!!

IN SUMMARY:

THEY are those who either consider themselves to be the authority due to perceived or actual power or those of whom the populous have elected to authority due to anticipated or demonstration of real power and influence.

Regardless of how these individuals have risen to power, THEY have acquired varying degrees of secret knowledge that have contributed to their elevation.  However, something within them is amiss, let’s call it a skewed consciousness or spiritual death. THEIR spiritual death results from the calcification of the 3rd eye or pineal gland if it was ever open and THEY lose THEIR ability see, hear, and feel (compassion for humanity).

Yes, THEY forget or ignore their connection to all of humankind. THEY become blind to the needs of the rest of the body and THEY turn a deaf, ear to the cries from the hearts of humankind in favor of their EXCESSIVE abundance and prosperity, which is GREED!
