When Pigs Fly


I want to veer off the obvious political verbal jousting and speak from heart. I have never been a fan of Donald Trump, he represented rich arrogance and when he was toying around with throwing his hat in the ring for president I laughed because I found it absurd. By the time he made himself a contender I had begun to look at him in a different way. I understand potential candidates will say and do most anything to get their foot in the door of the white house but I feel there was something about his objectivity of not being in politics and his angst over the same issues that ruffle all our feathers. I went against my registered party, I stepped over my initial instincts about his personality traits. During the debates, I cringed a lot because I thought for sure that if he didn’t shut up at appropriate times he would surely loose his footing. I even went to bed that election night feeling Hillary would surely went because she was safe and logical.

  I don’t believe anybody male or female, democrat or republican or of any race or religion is the Holy grail but I will admit I was pleasantly surprised Trump had won. Okay, here’s my truth, over the past few years I have had to face some major disappointments. I have lost out on getting my foot in the door for employment positions because of the obvious selections. Donald Trump was and still is the most highly unlikely person for the job and because he made it, there is hope in me that I will be the unlikely chosen person to be selected for something I thought I had no chance of getting. So yes, for me Trump’s audacity of thinking of running for president then actually running and wait for it wait for it…. winning has me thinking that if I set my mind to something and want it badly enough and it’s the right time for me to get whatever it is that it could happen,

Swallowing an Elephant

You know that joke/riddle How do you eat an elephant? A-One bite at a time. For most that seems to be the most logical. The elephant is quite large and nobody can just pop one in their mouth but oddly enough there are people out there that want you to over tax your system trying to get one down in one bite. Apparently, there are some lucky individuals out there who can unhinge their jaw and eat an elephant in one or two tries so that sets the bar for everyone else. I am not so blessed to be able to unhinge my jaw and swallow large objects.    My capacity to learn and adapt to familiar things that need to be dusted off and new ways takes more than a day or two. I know the elephant swallowers are in high demand and get cut higher respect but I feel the nibblers are just as worthy. Patience is a skill that has been slacking both in the people who want to try to make a nibbler into a swallower and those who are observing and comparing; even the nibbler wanting to be perfect...

Breathing

When someone asks me how I am I usually respond with okay which means nothing bad or good is going on. When things aren’t so okay I reply with “I’m barely breathing” which means I’m highly stressed out over something. When I listen to meditation videos they always start out with deep breathing, at first, I thought it was kind of silly to concentrate so much on breathing. I also started to notice my breathing when I was stressed out or intensely involved in something. I have two destructive breathing patterns that take place, I either over breath or shallow breathe; sometimes I even subconsciously hold my breath. None of the three poor breathing methods make a happy functioning body. It’s funny to have to learn how to breath properly because it’s something we do automatically.    With some unknown allergies or on and off sinus issues I already face upper repertory struggles at times. When I over breath due to some hidden or not so hidden stress I notice changes in my bod...
