Oh, to be out and about

"I have become a hermit of sorts, one of those middle-aged women who live their lives at arm's length. I rarely leave my condo; there's no need. Everything can be delivered, and really, I don't know what to do with myself in the world these days." Fly Away (Firefly Lane), Kristin Hannah When I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, I was also diagnosed with agoraphobia. When I heard the psychiatrist mention it, I was actually surprised, although in retrospect, I guess it makes sense. After all, when I was having non-stop panic attacks, I didn't want to go anywhere, afraid that I would suddenly lose it in the middle of a busy mall or while crossing the street (and to be fair, it did happen several times). And up until now I still get anxious when I need to step out of the house alone, even if it's only to walk around the block. (There was one weekend when T asked me if we were stepping out. I replied, "I'm not even sure if I can step out of...

a page, a cup

I had to do a quick article for our department's newsletter - a task I totally forgot was assigned to me. Not just the article but the newsletter itself lol. So J and K, two of the supervisors who signed up for this task, and I came up with the newsletter in less than two weeks, trying to meet the January deadline I set for our maiden issue.

It was also around that time that the Western Church declared 1 November as All Saints' Day, which only goes to show that there is so much connection between Christianity and what is now considered pagan beliefs. God is universal - and so is the Goddess. When we call out to the Universe, we call out to God and the Goddess. When the Universe showers us with blessings, the blessings are are also coming from God and the Goddess. When the Universe saves our asses, we're guaranteed that God and the Goddess are looking out for us . We may call It what we want, God , Goddess, Universe, Allah, Jehovah, the Great Big Cat in the Sky, it's all One and the Same, giving us hope, bringing us fresh starts, teaching us love and compassion for everyone. ...
