invoking Wonder Woman
There is so much shit hitting the fan around me that I find myself walking around feeling as though I need to wear a protective amulet to ward off the evil lurking around me. Create a bubble of protection and invite my people into it. I have been going to bed at night making an effort to fall asleep in positivity, repeating E's mantra that my life is a blessing, that my relationships are a blessing, and that I am going forth in love and joy and warmth. It's much harder to do during the day when you you start off by walking into the kitchen to hear your partner cursing in a most horrible way because he can't get his stupid watch done up. It's kind of soul-crushing to meet with that kind of anger/frustration first thing before you are even fully awake. I wish I knew how to construct a force field to protect me from that energy-even just being around it makes my shoulders droop. I look to my kids and their natural joy to lift me back up but I know I must create this for myself-not a Zen detachment but an inner strength and calm that makes shit literally bounce off me. How to do this? Maybe I need to create an image of Wonder Woman with her bracelets and her arms flying like crazy to reflect the bullets. When she's done she smooths her hair and carries on with the business of saving the world.

deflection. a true art form.
It is SO hard to not have that sort of thing affect you. My moods have always been influence by those around me, especially my nearest and dearest. As hard as it is, I would simply not respond to it. As in, if I walked into the kitchen bleary eyed to that, I would cheerily say "Are you done in the bathroom? I'm gonna take my shower if you're done." And then go take your hot, long long shower and hope he's left the house by the time you are done. Put on some makeup, get yourself looking hawt, and go treat yourself to a fancy coffee and a trashy magazine.
I did that, bought myself a bracelet like Wonder Woman had and I imagine it repelling my husband's shit. Great minds:)
I'm gonna do that-my Christmas present to myself. I should market that. Women would make so much money and we could share it all around! The wonder woman shit repellant.
