It's time to write.
I need to write up a report, and a literature review, and a dissertaiton proposal, and I need to write up text for my web page.
And I need to blog too.Details.
Hmmm.Vitamins and minerals update: Calcium-Magnesium 2-3 times a day at a 2:1 ratio (500:250mg total). Multi, antioxidant, vitamin C (7500 mg/day), magnesium 110 mg/day (to equalize the cal-mag ratio). Occasionally a pantothenic acid (down from 150 mg 3xday).
What's nice about this? Fewer pills to swallow. Am feeling pretty healthy.
Supplement with lots of dark leafy greens, which, either raw or cooked, give me lots more vitamins and minerals.Emotional health. Another story altogether. The terror of September 11 still resides within me. I feel responsible, somehow, b/c of all the past negative energy in my life. I need to let go, lighten up, release that feeling of responsibility, and forgive myself for what's in the past.
I need to allow for full positive potential, and let my love pour out into the world.
I know once I allow so much positive energy to release, I will be able to sleep, and those around me will lift as well.It's hard.
Physical manifestation of that pent-up energy (both positive and negative) plays out in intestinal mechanics.
I have gas and some bloating (but still maintain regularity). I don't sleep well. I am exhausted. I am having a hard time focusing on my work, and from the 11th to the 24th did minimal work b/c I had a constant headache from intermittent bouts of weeping.Last night I tossed and turned, and dozed more than slept. Today I am so exhausted I know I am running on sheer willpower, nothing else. I would like to go for a run but am afraid of depleting what little energy I have.
YUK.
I am searching now. Searching inside myself, and with discussion among my friends, for rational and emotional balance.
I am learning too. Can't quite put that into focus yet, but suffice to say that clarity is imminent.The world has become local because of that heinous act. We are all in one close village now. I think it imperative that we allow each other our diversity, and learn to live with, and glorify in, our differences. We can learn so much from each other! And hate is so destructive. I guess hate has had a useful run though, as one form of population control... I know that is an unpleasant thought, but true.
More later.

It's been a wild ride.The terrorism on September 11 occurred in an unreal fashion, and the following two weeks had me in emotional turmoil.
I must say, though, that I had little waves of upset, not big ones, in my tummy. And, importantly, I maintained regularity.
I will discourse later on details.
One small tidbit for now: My birthday is September 12.
A week before, my sister (who lives in NYC, and, thankfully, is OK) asked what I wanted for my birthday.
I told her I wanted Peace, Love, and Harmony (for the world).
When she called that Tuesday to say she was OK, she also said she didn't think I would get my birthday wish.
I disagreed. And still do. People are uniting. They are speaking and loving and that can only lead to Peace, Love, and Harmony.Namaste.
