Thursday, August 24, 2017 ( 4:00 PM ) shut up christine
i enjoy buying myself flowers and plants
how beautiful is this phalaenopsis orchid
orchids remove xylene (pollutant found in glues and paints) and release oxygen at night
blooms will last 2-4 months

Sunday, August 06, 2017 ( 9:15 AM ) shut up christine working it out
i'm having difficulty dealing with a person who *i* perceive can be negative
not necessarily at me, but the constant snide comments and popping off the handle wear me out.
i come home upset and wanting to sage myself to clear the bad energy
there are several paths i can take
1. i can avoid this person, which is difficult because we work together
2. limit my interactions with her, and try to tune out the crap as much as i can.
3. change my perception. even if a rude comment is directed at me, don't engage. don't stoop to that level. sometimes i want to say "omg why are you such a bitch?!" but that wouldn't serve anyone. suppress that urge to go off, it will make things worse. compassion for yourself, compassion for her. even if she's a bitch to you or others, you don't have to be a bitch back
4. maybe pull her aside privately and explain how i feel. we grow when we're honest with each other, right? be prepared if it doesn't go well
5. meditate and write it out. acknowledge it but don't hold onto it. let it come and pass. when its happening, stay even, don't allow her to affect you. make it a meditative practice - every comment that triggers you - use it as a teacher. breathe. it can't touch you
