Good things from yesterday

I wanted to start off today by talking about good things. My beautiful friend Shelby you may know her as Chocolate Yoga, sent me a bottle of this cramp bark to help with the pain. She went to school in Iowa for Ayurvedic medicine. It’s incredible! If you still have a uterus, if you love somebody who has a uterus, and they’re experiencing pain around menstruation or endometriosis, this has been a wonderful addition when I don’t feel like taking heavier drugs it helps a lot.

I was able to go out to breakfast today with Memphis and Oliver and have been able to spend some time with my son Miles. He’s going to come out here today and spend more time with me. It’s such a beautiful thing to have children. They’re both incredible and then when they fall in love with someone, it’s like you get extra children And that’s such a blessing as well. So I’m thankful for my children and for their partners. My son Miles has been going through a lot himself, all the kids have, all the world has… But there’s something beautiful and unique about having a son. As a mother it gives you a completely different perspective on life. I’m sure he has no basis to comprehend what I’m going through but he’s present and available to learn, help, bring me food, sit and talk with me etc. I’m not sure if I mentioned this in my last post but when Miles was younger we got a dog together named Vida Bohème and she still around, alive and Kickin and doing great, living with Miles and Amy. My son Miles and his partner Amy brought Vida out to the house The other day and I realized I didn’t even take any photographs of her. Next time she comes out I will. There’s nothing like being surrounded by puppies. I love dogs, it’s funny because I was terrified of dogs as a small child but have grown to love them and need them in my life. Miles and memphis both have lots of pets and it’s so exciting when I can go to their house or when they can bring them over to my house. So we’ve just spent a lot of time around the animals, as much as possible. I’m thankful to have a son because it gives me a new perspective on life. It helps me appreciate the inns and outs, life struggles and feelings of young men right now. I’m so proud of him, the way that he handles life. He definitely doesn’t put up with any bullshit but he’s a kind and wonderful human being who goes out of his way to make sure that I am well, loved and cared for.

We expect a lot emotionally out of our daughters but for some reason we just don’t expect that of our sons in the same way. And all of this is reminding me that I have a lot of compassionate men around me from my partner Jeremy, to my son Miles, to my son-in-law Oliver, to my father Kevin, etc. I’m really thankful right now also, that the men that I work with are supporting this journey of mine and helping make sure that I am financially stable even though I won’t be working for five months. I have to say, I am extremely selective of the men I allow to be in my presence and I’m glad for that because I feel like I have the cream of the crop as friends, family members etc. Mike Wolfe and the Cineflix production crew have done everything they possibly can to make sure that I am financially stable, comfortable and cared for at this time as well. So here’s a shout out to those boys, men who are going above and beyond for the femmes in their lives.

Today is my sister Taras birthday as well!!! She has been so supportive and wonderful through this process. Helping me move, helping memphis move, helping me organize my life, and just being there with the hugs that feels so good from a sister right now.

I went ahead and included a cute little picture of Miles towards the end when he was little. He used to love soccer. He loved going to the games but he hated playing, lol!

I appreciate you! I love you!❤️
