My ode to Grey Gardens and thise STAUNCH characters!

GOD I wish the minimum wage was a living wage.

I'm not flipping burgers, I'm cleaning litterboxes and doing basic vet care like checking weights, administering medicine, bathing, using IVs, keeping records, making lists, doing photography, and way way more. But the point is even if I was just cleaning litterboxes... I love the work. I wish I could pay rent. Shouldn't I be able to clean litterboxes and feed cats who were rescued from the streets and do that fulfilling wonderful work without wondering where I'm going to live?

Shouldn't someone be able to flip burgers, make art, clean up trash, care for the oceans, teach your children, or rescue animals without being forced to choose between their job and their bills?

What if I don't WANT to climb the ladder and use my degree and search for high stress high pay jobs in order to live? What if I want the high stress job of seeing a kitten crashing below survivable temperature and bringing them back from the brink of death, knowing that I'm the only thing standing between this homeless, unwanted kitten and an early grave?

Shouldn't that be enough? Shouldn't I be able to afford food and rent by doing that?

I don't want to work at a vet office that can give me steady pay increases. I want to work here, with cats who have no owners, nursing them back to health and helping pick their forever home. I want the infrastructure to support me in doing that. I want the laws to say I can and have programs in place to make it so my shelter CAN support me. I want rent to reflect wages. I want wages to reflect rent.

I want to help the world and be able to survive doing it. I want to thrive doing it. I want that for everyone.

7 Rules of Life

1. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.

2. What others think of you is none of your business.

3. Time heals almost everything; give it time.

4. Don`t compare your life to others`, and don`t judge them. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

5. Stop thinking too much; it`s alright not to know the answers. They will come to you when you least expect it.

6. No-one is in charge of your happiness, except you.

7. Smile. You don`t own all the problems in the world.

Not bad for almost 41! #personaltrainer #40yearsyoung #lgbtq #gayman #dilfintraining

If you have good intentions and it backfires, you’re the bad guy. If you put yourself first, you’re the selfish person. No matter what your motivation for taking of yourself or others, it seems that a lot of the times, you’re the anti-hero in your story.

Even Taylor Swift fans realize that you need to take care of yourself first if you ever are going to help anybody else because if you start helping others before you have yourself in check, it’s a recipe for disaster.

Always keep in mind that caring for yourself and your priorities isn’t selfish but exactly the opposite. Addressing unfinished business and healing wounds is how we move on healthily in life so be sure to tie up those old ghosts before you move on to better things.

Damn I love your blog, right on, I get it.

You are too sweet, thank you very much!

Dear Men,

If you Love an Empath , Love them Honestly, and with all your heart.

Empaths don't take love lightly, they don't pretend. When they really chose to open their hearts to you, then expect to be blown away. Their love is intense, powerful, messy and sometimes difficult to deal with, but it is real. Empaths don't know how to love any other way.

An empath is someone who is very sensitive to people's Energy , Moods , Emotions , Situations and their Environment to the point where they can feel emotions as if they were theirs. They also have some psychic ability to ′′ know ′′ things without proof of it. A little mysterious and complex, their emotions are deep, but what lies below the surface is a world that is unique to them.

When you look into the eyes of an empath who opened their heart, you see Vulnerability , Honesty , Pain , Dreams, Happiness , Love. With these thoughts, ideas, emotions, desires flown over, not everyone can be in a relationship with an empath. Nothing keeps an empath away more than if you try to change his sensitivity and empathic abilities.

Empaths are different from the majority of people we know. They are Sensitive , Intuitive and Compassionate. They cry and see beauty everywhere. They feel the pain of others. They need the person they love to be honest. They feel all the dishonesty in the world, and need shelter from it.

Dishonesty does not work for an empath. Even if they are never meant to discover the deception, they will feel it. It's torture for them to know that we're doing something behind their back and not getting a direct response. Be honest and sincere.

In cages they will cause damage. They are like birds, they must be able to fly freely to where their emotions guide them. Caging them is cutting their wings. They will lose the light that guides their way if you try to control them. If this happens, they will stop opening up and they will hide the love they have to give deep enough in them. The damage is not easily fixed, but it can be avoided by not trying to cage them.

The empath you love has probably been heartbroken in his life and needs to be treated with sensitivity regarding the pace where things go between you two. Don't rush it.

You also need to let them spend time alone. Empaths need to recharge in a space that is unique to them. It's different for everyone but they need time to be alone. It can be tiring to always feel the energy of the people around us, please don't be embarrassed or bored when they need to recharge. This doesn't mean they don't like you or they don't like your company. This means they have to calm their minds and renew their energy. They will come back happier than before.

They often can't express how they feel. The emotions of an empath are incredibly complex, often to the point that they struggle to express how they feel. Give them space. Be understanding. Take seriously what they say.

Empaths are extremely creative people. There's always an idea that pops up from their minds. Take them seriously. Believe in them, even though the idea may seem crazy to you. Empaths, probably more than anyone, have the ability to truly change the world.

Listen to them when they open their hearts to you. Because when their enthusiasm, passion, and the words they use mix, something quite amazing is about to be created.

Empaths tend to be pretty wise people. They don't say it, but they feel everything so deeply that it comes naturally to them. If they are exceptionally intense, give them some space. If they need you, stay close. Their intuition is usually good.

Contrary to popular belief, they actually know what they're talking about. They are empathetic and they feel everything. So when they have a good feeling about something, trust them. When they think someone is lying, trust them. When they tell you about a dream because it touched their hearts, trust them. When they tell you a situation is not right, believe them. They see the past, future and present all at once. Trusting an empath in your life is showing life that you believe in it. This will lead the way.

Being an Empath is a Superpower - You Feel Because you came here to Heal.
