The Gift of a Getaway

I Can’t Fix This
Last week was rough … I spent the week feeling “edgy” … “irritable” … “off” … I couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was bugging me, but I was definitely suffering … I continued doing “all the right things” … walks, water, tapping, some stretching, my daily gratitude list, and the like … but I just couldn’t… Continue reading I Can’t Fix This
Kindness, Love, and Respect
Kindness, Love, and Respect Written by Leanne Hintz November 11, 2020 Today, my husband went to the hunting shack.

Yesterday, I had to do something that was VERY uncomfortable for me ... I had to take our kitty “Oreo” to the vet ... he was hurt (possibly hit by a vehicle?) on Saturday. He spent Sunday mostly laying around, but he was still eating and seemed to still be enjoying his brother and sister’s… Continue reading What Does This Experience Make Possible?
Resentment
Today I want to talk about RESENTMENT ... that icky feeling of bitterness ... the feeling that you’ve been (or are being) mistreated in some way ... something’s not equal ... something’s unfair ... That “must be nice” feeling ... In the last while, I’ve started learning about the Enneagram, which basically outlines nine personality… Continue reading Resentment
