Insights on keeping our balance βοΈ in an unbalanced world. Even Seagull won't stand up |
Hi π€ I've been squeezing in writing while doing chores ( kitties π» wash-out litter box and stuff) Sometimes I mention a situation from my life and see if there's any interaction or interest. Again I saw someone was talking about faith and I jumped into the conversation ( if folks don't mind I could say who and where. I never assume it's okay until they say so! Because I thought about my own experiences with religion β―οΈ and matters of faith, it brought to mind my days with the Children of God cult in the 1970s. I thought about how I could share that story. What brought me to join that day. What I was doing that year and the year before because if someone had told me that I would, I wouldn't have believed them or the events that led me down that road π£οΈ... I started freewriting words on an envelope. People, places, and things. An outline is a story ( stories?) that emerges. I'm hesitant to proceed ( every time I've tried to write any of my memoirs, like the Tower card in the Tarot, things came crashing down.) In 2019 for example we had 90 days to pack and move. We had been renting a house for five years with help from the housing office which dealt with developmental disabilities. They never told us that our grandson became too well for the program or that it only lasted five years and suddenly my sister and I were on our own to get the four of us ( plus our dog and guinea pig moved that fast.) We did it but over the past four years, my writing hasn't been the same except for the past few months. I still find myself wondering if it's ok to jump in with both feet. The encouragement has been overwhelming to me and greatly appreciated π π. My new blog will be public but only some will see my memoirs in fiction. I will make a passkey! This is from my list Thanks! C.O.G days Brooklyn New York City Job at Lemmings 1973 The village Gate Folk city Poor boy club ( cog) 3 months in hospital ( nut ward) Pentagram ( at head shop) Giving up everything to serve Jesus. Year and a half later found out what a scam it was in Chicago Park one day. A free day with " the shepherd" Taught me not to get fleeced. I'm adding this to here to keep track until it's an item! I may tag! (Later) Hopefully, The banana π bar is open for business! Gotta feed kitties π» π! Bye till next time |
