Signs From A Movie
I see myself in the character of Frances in the movie “Under The Tuscan Sun”. This morning, because I am having feelings that are welling up inside of me, I decided instead of eating, I will watch a movie. “Under The Tuscan Sun” is one of my favorite movies ever, though this morning, I saw it in a whole new light. I got some wisdom, advice, soul warmth from the movie that I didn’t before. Has that ever happened to you? You have watched a movie many times, then one particular time, suddenly, like a flash, there is a new aspect you never thought about before. So, like a student, waiting to gleam from a teacher, I took down my thoughts during the movie.
What fully brought my attention to this new insight was what Patty said to Frances at the restaurant. “I think you’re in danger of never recovering. You know, when you come across those empty shell people and you think to yourself, what the hell happened to you? There comes a time in each one of those lives that they were standing at a crossroads, someplace where they had to decide to turn left or right. This is no time for you to be a chicken shit.” This bold, blunt comment made me realize some things about myself. I have two roads that I can go on, they have been starring at me for a long, long time. I have chosen not to look in either direction. I have chosen to stay stagnate. I’m not blaming anyone for my decision. I have had some great people in my life who have been telling me for the last three years, since my independence day about my stagnation. Two truly awesome friends Amber and Monte, have taken the bull by the horns and moved on with the crippling pains and rejections that they have experienced in their lives and made themselves happier and more content. This ability is something that I admire and respect about both of them. Though they are still struggling, at least they are moving towards the right direction for them. I am happy for them. They both deserve it. My sister Vickie, she is more blunt, but has a heart of gold, I am glad that we are from the same blood line. I realize that I have many strong courageous women in my life, though they have different beliefs, talents, opinions, and paths, they have still stood by me and encouraged me, though I have been standing in the cesspool that I have been in. My mom, Vickie, Carri, Kris, Joy, Sarah, Nichole Amber, Linda, Jackie, Carissa, Lorraine, and there have been several guys too, Rob, Rick, Jesse, Joshua, Russ, and Monte. I feel blessed for these wonderful people in my life.
I’m still in uncharted territory and there are a lot of my questions that I have not received answers too yet, patients is not a virtue of mine at all.
Another good dialogue in “Under The Tuscan Sun” is when she is talking to Catherine. Catherine’s advice from her beloved FeFe is “Live spherically, in many directions, never lose your childish enthusiasm and things will go your way.” I liked this because it is good advice. Advice I need to have injected into my brain and remember during the moments that are difficult. During the movie, I felt Frances’ pain, and emotional depression, because I am feeling it in many ways. So, when she is talking to someone and says this, I am wanting the same things and thinking the same thoughts about myself. “I’m sick of being afraid all the time, I still want things. I want someone to cook for, I want a wedding in this house, I want a family in this house.” This hit home for me, because at this point, I’m sick of being afraid all the time. My fear has paralyzed me from the beginning and it is driving me crazy. And I too want someone to cook for and a family. She realizes she has this, and I am slowly doing the same thing. So, when Catherine said to Frances “Regrets are a waste of time, they are the past crippling you in the present. How are you going to be happy, if you keep wallowing? Go work on your house, GO.” Well, I don’t have a house to work on, so I am taking it to mean my body, soul, and spirit. I have been holding onto the past in many ways, not letting things go. I have moments of happiness, but I also run from it. It doesn’t make sense, that something that I crave, I run from. That is how it is for me, I am coming to the understanding, that I can’t change my past. It was what I was dealt, I had no control, and really I don’t have control over anyone else but me. That is something that I must relinquish in order to find my inner peace and sanity. I have to stop letting these negative thoughts, habits, and people that are in my life go and let them run where they need to go. I can’t change them, I can’t make them be who I see them as. I can see all the things they want and I want them to have it, just like they do me too. It isn’t fair of me to criticize them for the self doubts and self abuse they have in their lives, because, hey, I have them too. All I can do is stand by them, just like I’d like them to do for me. I said that my quest this year was finding my balance, my inner strength, peace, and love for me, well, I have been noticing signs, abilities, and it is wonderful at the moment. Just when I needed an uplifting, I sure got one. In a movie, that I have seen a thousand times and it is a heaven sent to me today.

Finding My Way Back Home
I found this song on my myspace page, I feel that this is a devine inspiration made for me, nah, that is just my arrogance coming out. I have found inspiration in this song though. It is how I am feeling at this present moment. Taking my time, going donw the road that I must, with patience and vigilance. I now have the song and I can use it as inspiration when I have those dark moments in my life.
Finding My Way Back Home: By Lee Ann Womack.
I’ve been hurrying and I’ve been worrying
I’ve been running against the wind
I’ve been betting my soul on long shot road
That a good man never wins.
I’ve been tossing and I’ve been turning
I’ve been burning it at both ends
I’ve been seeing myself in the rearview mirror
And I don’t like where I’ve been.
So I’m taking my time
Holding and hoping and driving and dreaming and loving every minute of it just enjoying the road.
Slowly and soulfully feeling the wheels unwind, finding my way back home.
I’ve been tooling along the two lane.
I got off the interstate.
I’ve been going too fast.
I got off at the gas.
I’ve been learning the charm of the brake.
I’ve been rolling down all the windows.
And letting the world rush in.
The smell of the grass and the fields that I pass and the sun dance on my skin.

Thrills
This one is more correct, I do need an adventure, I need one now...
You Are Adventurous... Sometimes |
 You like an adrenaline rush as much as the next person. You like your thrills in small doses. You're generally pretty calm and level headed. But sometimes you have to go wild and have a crazy adventure. |
Blue Brain
I thought I'd do something fun...
This is my ideal self.
This is my ideal self.
Your Brain is Blue |
 Of all the brain types, yours is the most mellow. You tend to be in a meditative state most of the time. You don't try to think away your troubles. Your thoughts are realistic, fresh, and honest. You truly see things as how they are. You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about your friends, your surroundings, and your life. |
Abomination, No More!
“We must cultivate our own gardens” Voltaire Candid (1759)
This quote jumped out at me, like a deer starring at you, while standing in the middle of the road, the stubborn beast won’t budge and let you move on down the road. I have been in a whirlwind of doubts, self destructive abuse, negative actions and thoughts recently, because hey, you learn what you are taught, right? The people who really know me know my past and what my road looked like from before and what I am going through now to change my destination and how I perceive myself and others around me. I put error signs up in my mind all the time, but sometimes I let myself down with the negative shit that seems to pop up out of nowhere. Especially, yesterday, while talking to one of my big sisters, she listened to me whining and I got told you just ruined my happy day. Well, truthfully the sun was out and it was a glorious day, I was sitting at home gloomy because of a certain event that happened to me 3 years ago today and all the negative shit that I still have to put up with his family. Who got the things they wanted out of our house and now they want more, so I have to stand up and fight for myself and what I deserve. Hey, I spent 11 years taking care of him, doing the best that I can do with a man who is so stubborn and who thought he knew everything and bending to his will, so he won’t be unhappy… That was hard work, it nearly killed me, and I am still reaping the benefits from that lousy choice that I made when I was 20 years old. Let me tell the 20 year olds out there, you don’t know everything and the decisions and the choices you make will inevitably bite you in the ass. Believe me, I’ve been bitten a few times. I don’t’ want to be the negative, vindictive, self abuser, that I am inevitably becoming, so I need to reroute the wheel, so to speak. If I am miserable, then the people who I know love and care about me are miserable watching me becoming miserable. I’m going to end up, like Rick, no family, or friends who truly want to be around you, because you are too cement headed to realize the good things and be the good person you know you are. So this is my last bitchy, whiny, and angry blog about my life. I’m tired of it.
I’m hoping that March 12th will be a good thing for me and for the obstacle that is in my way, that we both will benefit and be happy with what happens. I’m hoping to get some of the things that needs to get done in my life done. I hope to be the happy, go lucky woman that I know I am. I hope to stay focus on the path that I am meant to be following. I want the people who are my family and friends to be happy and loved too. And I even wish that on my enemies.
My fears on this new journey is, I don’t want to be a selfish person, not being able to help my fellow man when in need, either. See balance is the key to everything, I believe this with my whole heart. The key, I guess, is in finding that balance for me. Every individual has their own balance and I just have to find mine.

Time To Change Is Approaching
I have been thinking about a lot of things lately, because a major anniversary of an event that happened 3 years ago is coming up again. I hate this time of year, no it is not Valentine’s day, it is a death of someone that was once important and dear to me. The only difference this year is that I’m tired of the remembrance, dwelling, and opening myself up to the negative feelings, emotions, and deeds of this person in my life. The negative things that he did to his family and his friends made him a lonely, self destructive person, and I find myself becoming that way. I can see this, I want to change this, I have been accused from a long time friend that I don’t follow through on my plans. I let things stand in my way, like, self doubt, negative feelings, confusion, and a certain somebody, who in reality doesn’t want to be in my way at all. In fact, the people who are in my life want me to become the Jamie that I know and they know I can be. As the time is approaching, a lot of things are becoming more in perspective, my dream, my passion, my hope, my fears, my challenges, my faults, and mostly my problems that I need to focus on, instead of helping and focusing on others. I am not accusing or blaming anyone, it is my decision and my choice that I have made. It is just time to take the bull by the balls, so to speak and accomplish what is I am suppose to and do what I want to do, despite the anger that I am instilling in my older, and much loved big sister. My family and friends I believe and hope will support me no matter what I do. I don’t have many friends or family that I can count on, but I do have a few.

Somebody To Be
Rob Thomas’ CD “Somebody To Be” is awesome. I love all the songs on it. I felt nurtured while listening to it tonight. My sister Vickie sent it to me, because it is rare to find a CD that you love all the songs from, at least for it is.
This song is one of my favorites and it is called “This Is How A Heart Breaks.”
Don't you wanna go for a ride
Just keep your hands inside
And make the most out of life
Now don't you take it for granted
Life is like a mean machine
It made a mess outta me
It left me caught between
Like an angry dream I was stranded
And I'm steady but I'm starting to shake
And I don't know how much more I can take
This is it now
Everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now you feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks
Don't you wanna go for a ride
Down to the other side
Feels so good you could cry
Now won't you do what I told you
I remember when you used to be shy
Yeah, once we were so fine
You and I why you gotta make it so hard on me
And I'm sorry but it's not a mistake
And I'm running but you're getting away
You're not the best thing that I knew
Never was never cared too much
For all this hanging around
It's just the same thing all the time
Never get what I want
Never get too close to the end of the line
You're just the same thing that I knew back before the time
When I was only for you
This song is one of my favorites and it is called “This Is How A Heart Breaks.”
Don't you wanna go for a ride
Just keep your hands inside
And make the most out of life
Now don't you take it for granted
Life is like a mean machine
It made a mess outta me
It left me caught between
Like an angry dream I was stranded
And I'm steady but I'm starting to shake
And I don't know how much more I can take
This is it now
Everybody get down
This is all I can take
This is how a heart breaks
You take a hit now you feel it break down
Make you stay wide awake
This is how a heart breaks
Don't you wanna go for a ride
Down to the other side
Feels so good you could cry
Now won't you do what I told you
I remember when you used to be shy
Yeah, once we were so fine
You and I why you gotta make it so hard on me
And I'm sorry but it's not a mistake
And I'm running but you're getting away
You're not the best thing that I knew
Never was never cared too much
For all this hanging around
It's just the same thing all the time
Never get what I want
Never get too close to the end of the line
You're just the same thing that I knew back before the time
When I was only for you
