So what I am thinking is this: I am just in the beginning stages of this; my blog is up and running as of now but I am going to spend lots of time learning how to do it right-before I really take off here. I don't want to start off looking like a dodo. Too much anyway; a little bit is probably inevitable! But I am thnking of some of the topics I would eventually like to broach, and I hope people will feel free to join in and discuss them when I do. Let me say here and now: I am not claiming to be an expert on any topic. I am just 'ordinary woman'. I do say that I am a thinker: too much so! I guess that is why I am here...to have a platform to think of and discuss what is on my mind! Basically, I don't have anyone to talk to about these things! Perhaps..out 'there' are women like me, who don't have a platform, and need to be able to share their own stories. So, again let me say, I am not claiming any 'expert' status on any subject but myself! I WILL be doing research where I see the need, and will share it here, when I see the need.
My topics so far...not necessarily in the order written, but here are some of the topics I have been thinking of:
To 50 and beyond!
Are men intimidated by smart women?
No more dieting!
How does it make you feel when your man looks at porn?
Living with a non-emotional person.
Is it ok to fake an orgasm? Have you done it and why?
Is it ever ok to cheat? What if the person you live with neglects you in the bedroom?
My chronic insomnia and how I have coped.
Being unemployed: should I settle for a ob that is beneath my skills? should I settle for a job that I hate?
Staying postitive...or trying to...in a negative environment.
Is middle age droop inevitable?
Yoga
Meditation
Perimenopause/Menopause
Self-Hypnosis
My Heroes
What are my dreams? What are your dreams?
Are we the architects of our life? Or is our 'life-map' (just made that up-cool, huh!) set in stone?
Reincarnation.
What are you grateful for?
The science and art of 'Tapping'. Does it help?
Dealing with Anger!!! And how do you vent? How do you let it go?
My favorite books and my 'to read' list.
Aging and memory retention...my frustrations...how to improve memory.
The seasons of Life
OK, Day one; starting a new blog; I have NO idea what I am doing! All I know, is while meditating several months ago, I felt compelled to do start a site, probably in Facebook, and to call it KY Woman. I couldn’t figure out what in the world I was supposed to do with it, so I basically ignored it as best as I could, while all the while it stayed there in the back of my mind, nagging me. Then recently I started paying a bit more attention to the idea of a blog. And, as I believe we have free will, I decided to start a blog first, and maybe begin a Facebook site later.
Honestly though, I still am clueless about what I am going to do on here also. I think that I am reasonably capable of writing decently, and, hopefully, interestingly. But what I DO know for sure is that I am excited to create a New Beginning in my life. I have started on a path, shall we say, to Enlightenment. I am done with living a completely selfish life, and I am now on the road to sharing and helping others as I continue to grow myself.
I turned 50 on June 23, 2010. An age I have dreaded all my life, and what I found out after I turned 50 is this: I like it! I like my looks, like my body, like my sexuality,. I even, for the first time in my life, like ME. But, what do I want in life now? Mainly, as it turns out, to LEARN.
I gobble up new things, new thoughts, new ideas, new new new. And I can't get enough. What is my role in life? Is there a God? Is HE a SHE? Does HE/SHE in fact, have to be either sex? Is the Law of Attraction the secret? Well, really, what the BLEEP do I know?! Are we responsible for the conditions of our life or is it all set in stone beforehand? Do we, in fact, only have one life? Or several? Is there a Heaven and a Hell? Is heaven a beautiful golden city with angels and sinless souls floating around and singing praises to God? Is Hell a sea of fire and brimstone with the souls of the damned writhing in agony for eternity??
Well, this is what I was taught as a child, this image of Heaven and Hell. So, I better be a good girl, accept Jesus as my savior, go to church regularly, etc, etc. And then, thank you Jesus, I would get to go to Heaven when I died.
If I didn’t do the above, I would land in Hell.
I believed this for 35 years.
