Fri, 19:07: For a lot of people, the idea of using essential oils is intimidating. You might wonder "How many drops do I use? What do I use for what?“If so, I suggest the kid's collection. With 7 oil blends you just roll on, you have lots of choices! https://t.co/tVO07STsEV

Sat, 15:10: This is so true! "Self care takes effort. It doesn’t just happen. The body and mind need to be maintained. Similar to a garden, without effort, weeds will pop up and overtake everything. With a bit of consistent pruning, the results can be beautiful." – @JamesClear

Posting after a very long time

puppybraille — Sun, 30 Oct 2022 22:20:39 GMT

I don't know that anyone will read this. A lot of my friends who used to use LJ aren't even on here anymore. But I've been thinking about blogging again for a very long time and I'm starting to build a better life so I"m thinking of blogging again. To be honest, I'll probably create a blog somewhere else because I"d like something more professional, but after about 10 years of not using a PC, I needed somewhere to practice and thought this might be an okay place to try.
It's been a long and challenging road these past 10 years and I'm not sure where I should start. How to describe such radical and challenging experiences? How can I give readers a sense of what these years have been like? When I consider all of the bumps, turns vallies and mountain or at least hill tops, it seems impossible to give you a true idea of how my life has changed. Much of my life has been very hard.. In many ways, there are things I wish I could change, whether that be preventing the deaths of friends and loved-ones or at least getting their voices on recorder so that I'd have something like a picture of them, making different decisions about what I am capable of doing or just choosing to spend my time differently, I've had some very tough times over these years. But although I"d change many things if I could, I have also made some important changes in my life, especially recently. I might wish many things could be different, but I"ve also seen myself grow and change for the better. I don't know that I would have made some of these positive changes without the deep dark vallies.
I'm not sure how to capture these stories on paper or pixel, and I want to tell them well so that my experiences can help others. One thing that has not necessarily changed but maybe grown stronger is that I want to use my struggles to help others. I think of it like being the climber on the top of the wall and wanting to be there, extending a rope of words and experiences to help someone get up the challenging route. I don't flatter myself in thinking that I'll be able to help everyone, but if I can help anyone, I want to do it. That hasn't changed. The difference is that when I was younger and writing here on LJ, I wrote whatever whenever. I always hoped to help others, but now I actually have ideas and tools which made the difference, sometimes literally between life and death. I want my story to be more than something that educates people about RSD/CRPS and tells people that they're not alone. Not that that wasn't valuable, but I really want it to pass along skills and wisdom that have made such a difference in my life.
For now, I'm just trying to decide how I'll share my story. I believe another book and at least one blog are going to be in my future.
I pray this finds all who read it as well as possible and if you're in pain, I pray you're having a low pain day!
