NO 'buts' in dreams (and other random updates)

So last night, ummm wait, wait, that would be this morning.  LOL.  Sometimes it all runs together.  I had a great pep talk. 

I am working through helping my friends see their dreams come true. Seriously, trust me with your dreams, I will support you ANY way I can!  I vow and promise.  I asked my friend to share his dream...  He starts talking and then says "BUT"... and keeps talking and then says "BUT".  I had to stop, interrupt. 

I said wait stop with the "but's"....

He continued on and did it again!  NOOOOO!  I stopped him and told him unless you are Sir Mix-A-Lot there are no room for "buts" in your dream, even then the only "buts" allowed are the one with two t's.  Every time you say the word "but" you negate everything you said previously.  EVERYTHING. 

I do believe he finally got the message. 

I got the dream sans the word but.  And we started really talking.  Uncle Bob style small steps.  I hope it put things in perspective for him.  I hope that it gave him the pieces that he needed to put that huge puzzle together, or at least it oriented in the right direction.  Still will support him the best way I know how and anyway possible. 

Only fair, I shared my dreams too, and told him a bit about what is going on right now, how I am choosing the path that I am.  How I fully intend on supporting a few others and their dreams.  Trying to be that light, forever being that cheerleader, not giving up, backing my friends when ever possible. 

There are some incredible people that I am associated with... In fact INCREDIBLE, is an understatement!!!  They are all wonderful too, genuinely wonderful people to be around.  Loving to see the doors of opportunity open up for each of them.

On a personal note, I got a message today, worked a bit more than 6 hrs worth of edits.  And the result was, the producer man telling me that I am "on the right track, kiddo"  sweet.  Yea, he doesn't give out compliments.  EVER.  So that was pretty freaking great for my ego.  Not sure all the time if I am getting anywhere or just treading water with this experiment... So positive feedback is very encouraging.  Matt was jumping up and down in excitement.  LOL.  Lack of sleep, or maybe the migraine, I am not quite there yet. 

Laura loves the poetry I sent her and is looking for another publishing house.  Wow, that lady never stops.  I am still a bit skeptical... its my poetry, feels weirder than my writing; that's my inner soul.  I can't help feel a bit exposed.  But I trust her, so I am letting go.  Besides, as she put it I don't have to give her anything I am not ready to.  *nods*

Woke up with a killer migraine... guess I never truly went to sleep because of the pain.  Ouchies.  Gave into the muse and was writing, editing and clearly.  Odd but was rolling with it. In so much pain at about 9:30ish and deciding that decapitation was not the best option (but the allegra, immetrex, benedryl, tylenol, ibuprofen, caffeine)... nothing was working...  I went to see what teas could be made.  Ooo.  I forgot about the green instant cereal.  It was an impulse buy two weeks ago at the Chinese Food Market.  Sure, lets try it, why not, I need the experiment.  It contains all kinds of green foods, ground up into powder form... I know on the list is matcha, wheat grass, and broccoli.  Well maybe it will shove me into a detox and I can get rid of all this garbage in my head.  That was the thinking at least.

Fine hot water.  Okay open package... ummm alright, stir, got that.  And now drink.  OMG, what did I get myself into.  Okay fine eat with a spoon.  Hummm.  Interesting texture, grainy like the matcha, but it also has some kinda grain in it.  Idk, I don't speak or read Chinese at all so I don't know what it is.  FINISHED, yea took me 45 min to eat but it stayed down. 

An hour and a half later, started noticing relief!  WOW, nose was running, pain was going away.  FINALLY, the cold compress on the back of my neck seemed to be working too!  YES! Relief.  Alrighty.  So three pm hits and I can only stay awake for about another hr.  NO migraine, but exhaustion set in.  I had to go to sleep.  Slept hard for about 45 min ish and decided to just make sure this thing is really gone, so had another packet for dinner.  Ohh but I also did eat lunch in there. 

Seems that this was the driving force that stopped the migraine. I am not looking that gift horse in the mouth, ever.  But it will be the first option I choose next time! 

Ohhh one other funny story, Mom has found a "new" album, she likes. HAHA.  Love that she was looking for my music this morning, saying that Pandora wasn't cutting it!  And she was able to fix a pair of pants and save a dress too, MOM rocks.  LOVE her!!!!


In summary. SUCCESS in several areas. I am a pretty happy girl at the moment. Still tired around the edges. But pretty happy.
