Bookish & Bullied

I am surrounded by books - blissfully so.  Reading and writing are like breathing and walking to this whimsical spirit of mine; and my office reflects that...also the bins of books in my garage I have as yet been unable to fit into my office's substantial shelves.  I'm wordy and witty and want not for change in that end.

However, many of the books I've selected and sequestered to my writing nook have lost the relevance and resonance they held when first I found them.  As ScriptedWellness' originator, leader of a wee band of Wellness Scribes (my readership), and a woman whose quest for the quilt-like fragments of wisdom which might be woven into said Script from others, I have often bought books in order to facilitate this endeavor.  Now, however, as I view the covers of the vast assembly of books, I have had trouble deciding to write on one of them.  It's a quandary for certain.

Lately, it just seems so very simple and unforced to peaceably listen to my innate wisdom - the intuitive and powerful communication from my body and mind which God designed to keep me well.  As they say in popular parlance, "sorry, not sorry."  It's a serene situation I've sought for decades, and I am loathe to give that up for rules and restrictions which obviously contribute to further bondage and eventual failure.

Not only don't I want to read and write on these things, but I don't want to inflict the damaging dietary dogma on those who happen upon this page - it's meant as a ministry, a resource.  I do, however, intend to bring content I believe contributory to a contented relationship with food, body, and the sphere in which my Scribes each reside.  It's evolutionary and revolutionary on a very personal level.

Jotting with Johnna:

  • Have you experienced a paradigm shift in your approach to caring for body and mind?
  • What feelings and thoughts informed from and then appeared because of this shift?
  • Is it time to question the words on your own walls?

Remember:  you are so very worthy of the time and attention it takes to determine whether something in your life is a help or hindrance; and you are the only person responsible to eradicate that which no longer inspires or edifies you.

Stay tuned.  Stay focused.  Stay well.
