Have You Had Problems With The Featured Images Not Showing Up?
I noticed on Monday that my Featured Images were not showing when you view through Notifications. If you click to read the post the image shows up.
I’ve been talking to WordPress all week with no answers. I replied to their email today saying I don’t care anymore. The problems I’ve had in the past were because the System Engineers were making changes that affected bloggers but did not communicate with Happiness Engineers so they would know what was going on.
Take the big change to reblogging. This was a huge change and after many conversations with Happiness Engineers, I found out they didn’t know and had to ask Systems Engineering. This is a big gap in information and a poor way to run a company.
Most companies do the Systems Engineering offline, to not affect users. They debug before they release to the network. WP is the opposite, all the work is done in the background and is often not debugged, so we get to live in the chaos until they get it right.
I am not contacting WP again unless things are directly related to my blog. It’s not worth the emails and lack of answers.

Will The Person From Mauritius Contact Me?
I often wonder about the people who read my blog and are not on WordPress. I’m blessed to have most countries stop by at one time or another. I love to learn about where the readers come from, and often look at the globe to see their location and read about the area.
I read about the area and was blown away by the beauty of the island. The most beautiful blue water, I can imagine swimming or boarding while enjoying the crystal clear waters.
The person from Mauritius stops by almost every day and I would like to talk to thank them personally.
Would you please contact me?
I will write more posts about other countries that follow me. I get so excited when a country that I least expect, like today, Nepal, United Arab Emirates, Serbia, and Bangladesh.
Thanks.

Losing Weight Triggered Thoughts Of My Eating Disorder
I wrote about my weight loss journey in September 2023, the goal was to lose 40 pounds instead, I’ve lost 65 pounds which is underweight for me. Since I was in the hospital in December 2023, I’ve continued to lose weight without trying.
I eat 2-4 pieces of chocolate every day and eat a cupcake or a piece of cake each weekend, along with small meals but it doesn’t affect my weight. Right now, I only weigh 10 pounds more than in high school.
The real story is the high I felt by the low numbers and it brought up thoughts of my eating disorder. I no longer have Bulimia and am so glad. It is hard to explain the feeling but it was sheer excitement and total control.
People with Anorexia understand the feelings of control, and that may be why it’s hard to overcome Anorexia. I don’t understand the ends and outs of Anorexia but have read followers’ posts and it’s a hard battle.
I suffered from Bulimia into my 30s, and am so glad it doesn’t rule me anymore. It was a way to escape the abuse and be in control for once.

Finding Relief Naturally: A Guide to Pain Management After an Accident
Accidents are rough. Other than the physical pain they inflict, it also leaves scarring damage to our mental and emotional well-being. Doctors usually offer pain medications for recovery but did you know there are other alternatives we can take and not just solely depending on those prescribed on pills? Are you curious what it is? I’m talking about natural methods! Let’s narrow down these remedies to find out what works for you!
Restoring Strength with Physical Therapy
Think of physical therapy as the star player on your comeback team after an injury. It’s not just about moving around—it’s a strategic move to make the most of your recovery. Using a wide variety of techniques, physical therapy works to reduce pain and improve strength and flexibility so your body can get back to normal. Here are a few key treatments:
- Manual therapy is a hands-on technique to loosen stiff joints and ease pain, including stretching and massage.
- Customizing exercise is a therapy that targets muscles to improve strength and flexibility.
- Hot and cold treatment uses temperature (hot or cold) to reduce soreness and pain.
- Electrotherapy uses electrical signals to assist in managing pain and stimulating muscles.
- Water therapy, wherein the patient uses the water’s gentle resistance and support during the rehabilitation process.
Role of Acupuncture in Unlocking Natural Pain Relief
When you want to express yourself, get a tattoo they said. If you want to heal yourself, get acupuncture. Trigger warning for those who are afraid of needles as we are going to talk about acupuncture, an ancient practice with a touch of modern science that is proven and tested by those who undergo that procedure. Here are a few of the ways, simply explained, that acupuncture can help:
- Reduces Chronic and Acute Pain
- Enhances Circulation and Boosts Blood Flow
- Stress Reduction
- Boost Immune System
- Improves Sleep Quality
Chiropractic Care as Another Route for Recovery
You never know what bones have realigned after your accident. It may feel and look normal, but there are already underlying conditions. That’s why having chiropractic care after an accident is helpful during your recovery. This hands-on approach adjusts your spine and restores your body’s balance and other systems to work together. Here’s how chiropractic care can facilitate your recovery in several key ways:
- Reduce your pain as your chiropractor will help to eliminate the source of your injury-related pain by realigning your body to its natural form.
- Improved mobility by restoring flexibility and movement to areas of the body that have stiffened up or become immobile as a result of your accident.
- Enhanced healing, as the aim of this practice, is to make your body naturally heal itself. The realignment process is your body’s cue to begin its innate healing process once more.
- It decreases inflammation and allows you a speedier recovery
- Give you a better posture and ensure that your body’s reconfiguration is done properly, which will help to avoid such difficulties.
Herbal Remedies
If you have a garden and you have herbs like ginger, turmeric, and others, no need to take a walk towards the pharmacy as these herbs are in the remedy business. Those mentioned herbs are still providing relief and fighting inflammation today. Some may call it grandmother’s medicine, but hey, they are backed by science. Here are some soothing herbal remedies commonly used for their pain-relieving properties:
- Ginger: It is a natural anti-inflammatory agent and makes it an effective natural alternative for muscle and joint pain.
- Turmeric: A powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that has shown to be as effective as over-the-counter pain relievers with no unpleasant side effects.
- Willow Bark: Called “nature’s aspirin” for a good reason.
- Lavender: Helps with headaches and soreness when it’s brewed and drank as a tea.
- Peppermint: It can relieve certain types of headaches and muscle pain on contact.
Don’t let the pain take a toll on your everyday activities. Let these methods be your co-pilot in the healing process.

Things I’m Loving *Home Products*
Here are a few products I’m loving with right now. I hope you find a product to add to your household or self-care routine. The list may also give you ideas for a surprise for friends, and family. All products were found on Amazon.
Keurig K-Classic Coffee Maker K-Cup Pod, Single Serve, Programmable, 6 to 10 oz. Brew Sizes, Black
I’ve had mine for years, at least 10 years, without a single problem. No coffee pot to clean, and makes coffee in minutes. I can’t live without it.
MIRA 32 oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle – Hydro Vacuum Insulated Metal Thermos Flask Keeps Cold for 24 Hours, Hot for 12 Hours – BPA-Free One Touch Spout Lid Cap – Hawaiian Blue
We both love these insulated bottles. When I added more water to my day, I bought us two each. That was years ago. I drink at least 2 refills a day, and I make fewer trips to the fridge.
Bar Keepers Friend Powdered Cleanser 12-Ounces
My Granny used this to keep her stainless sink clean. It probably has more uses and they have several types of cleaners. Nothing gets my stainless sinks cleaner. This is a powder, you will need to work around the sink until the small bits resolve and then take another pass.
Simplehuman 50 Liter / 13.0 Gallon Rectangular Kitchen Step Trash Can, Brushed Stainless Steel
We splurged on the trashcan, and it was the best decision. Ours is close to 20 years old, not one problem.
The way to keep the stainless clean is to buy Stainless wipes. My other recommendation is to use Simplehuman trashbags. The big difference is theirs fits the trashcan completely. The cheaper trashbags that my husband is using drive me cringe. The problem is they don’t fit right and don’t cover the removable inner can and food and anything else you put in the trash gets on the top and the back of the trashcan. More cleaning!
Ficus Lyrata Fake Plant – Artificial Plants for Home Decor Indoor, Faux Plants Indoor – Artificial Potted Plants, Faux Plant for Bedroom – Plants for Bedroom Decor, Fake Plant Decor – 30 Inches
I bought this plant last year, it still looks new, and the leaves are still shiny. The planter is bad-looking and cheap. I bought a ceramic planter to put it in. It is perfect for my office and it doesn’t take up much space. I’ve also bought many other artificial plants and the quality top notch. The more expensive offer lasts much better.
Amazon Fire TV Cube, Hands-free streaming device with Alexa, Wi-Fi 6E, 4K Ultra HD
I would have a hard time living without the system and have already forgotten how to turn off the television. Alexa takes a short time to adjust to and lately, I am frustrated when I have to ask more than one time. In the big picture of life that’s a crub.
Just a note:
- An Amazon Prime membership unlocks thousands of movies and TV episodes including “Thursday Night Football” and Amazon Originals like “The Big Sick” and “Sneaky Pete”
- There are so many choices of older shows and the originals are top-notch.

navigating life after trauma
I’m Anna (she/her), a survivor-writer-fighter-dreamer-healer. Writing is in my blood- literally. I grew up surrounded by novels and poems and libraries thanks to the influence of my grandfather, best-selling author, journalist, and pal of Robert Frost. From a young age, I learned that writing and words hold power– the power to transform, influence, comfort, harm, heal, process, teach, and so much more.
I love this blog because she writes about many topics including trauma.

In this fast-paced social media world, finding the time to look within or back in time can be difficult. I hope you find these quotes and questions interesting. So glad you stopped by today!
My Probation Officer Saved My Life
Many of you know I was a wild child at 12 years old. I was a drug addict, my boyfriend was 21 years old and a drug dealer. I did not go to school for a month and spent three days in Juvenile Detention for that.
I don’t remember the circumstances but I was caught with a gun and put on probation. I met with her every month and for 7 months I did not talk. She said the State of Texas wanted to take custody and send me to a boot camp type of facility as punishment.
She did not believe a boot camp was what I needed to reform. She told me about potential options and one day I asked if she could find a boarding school to stay for a year.
My Granny and the Probation Officer worked together to find a boarding school for bad girls. My Granny remembered a Convent for bad girls from when she was younger. Sure enough, the Convent was what I needed, and I stayed there for a year.
My Probation Officer was patient with me and took me to my dental and doctor’s appointments. She never told me what I did wrong or talked down to me. The only snag was when she showed up one day and I was wearing a tee that said cocaine. She made me change. Fair enough.
She encouraged me, told me how smart I was, and other complements I was not used to hearing.
I was transformed early in my stay and was promoted to the highest rank, giving me complete freedom.
She was one of the good guys who saw something in me and I’m so thankful for her. She saved my life.

What Parts Of The Body Does Lyme Disease Target
I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and its coinfections in 2014. It controlled my life while the virus spread across my body setting up a house in my brain and causing cognitive impairment. The best way to describe how my brain was affected is to say, a machine gun was used on my brain and those memories are gone. In addition, I forget what I was saying and what I was going to do.
According to The Mayo Clinic Lyme disease is an illness caused by borrelia bacteria. Humans usually get Lyme disease from the bite of a tick carrying the bacteria.
Ticks that can carry borrelia bacteria live throughout most of the United States. But Lyme disease is most common in the upper Midwest and the northeastern and mid-Atlantic states. It’s also common in Europe and in south-central and southeastern Canada.
While most tick bites are harmless, several species can cause life-threatening diseases. Tick-borne diseases include:
-
Rocky Mountain spotted fever
-
Lyme disease
-
Anaplasmosis
-
Babesiosis
-
Colorado tick fever
-
Powassan encephalitis
-
Tularemia
-
Ehrlichiosis
-
Relapsing fever
Areas of the body Lyme targets
Skin
Neurological
Cardiac
Joints/Arthritis
Neuropsychiatric/Neurocognitive
If Lyme is detected in the first couple of weeks, an antibody is used for a couple of weeks and you dodged a bullet. A large number of people do not get the Lyme Rash, and by the time symptoms start, a small amount of antibiotics does not work. The next step is Antibody Therapy. I had a port in my chest and had Antibody Treatments every day at home. It was miserable.
Know where the ticks are more prominent in your area, avoid the area, or dress appropriately to cut down on having ticks get on you. The last thing to do after every outing is check your ENTIRE body for ticks. Even in the tricky places. Be sure to look in your hair!
Don’t forget dogs can get extremely ill if bitten by certain ticks. My sweet Sasha contracted Ehrlichiosis twice, each time it almost killed her.
Be aware and be vigilant.
Melinda

Having a Chronic Illness Is Like Jenga, You Never Know When It’s Going To Crash Down
Every day people with Chronic Illnesses have tiny stressors that add up throughout the day and are added to the bigger issues you’re already dealing with. I know it’s time for a break when the tiny issues have me cussing.
It could be something like not being able to open toothpaste, or toothpaste falling off into sink. I’m talking about tiny issues. Many don’t notice the tiny issues as they stack up and can make a decent day into a bad day. Everything piles up until it crashes.
I don’t have the answer but we can’t just turn the other way regarding our health. We must add the tiny stresses to our daily list of struggles to acknowledge them and see if we can change our day. We can’t avoid the extra stress, we have to learn to accept or find a workaround.
When you think about how many spoons you have, include the tiny issues when counting spoons.
Those who have not played the game may want to as a stress reliever.
You might find a great self-care treat if you play older games, like board games, not electronic ones.
I’m not saying anything new, just asking you to be aware of those tiny stressors when you look back over your day.
As my health continues to challenge me, it’s the little things that can throw me over the top. Last week, I had forgotten how to peel an orange, but instead of being bothered, I threw it in the trash.
Have a great day!

Simple Ways To Improve Your Mental Health At Home
Caring for your mental health is just as important, if not more so, than caring for your physical well-being. However, it’s often forgotten or overlooked in our busy lives.
Here are eight practical and accessible ways to maintain healthy mental habits without leaving the comfort of home. Prioritize yourself by investing some time into these simple yet powerful activities!
Establish a Routine
Having an established routine is one of the most effective tools for improving mental health. Not only does it provide structure, but the familiarity of the routine can also reduce anxiety and lift your mood.
Set yourself a morning or evening routine, or come up with a combination of both! A few ideas include having a regular wake-up time, starting off each day with some physical exercise, journaling, mindful meditation, and/or setting goals for the day.
Connect with your Loved Ones
Spending time with family and friends is one of the best ways to boost your mental health. You don’t even have to leave home – technology has made connecting easier than ever! Take advantage of video-calling or texting to catch up, share stories, and plan activities.
You can also connect with people online through social media, forums, blogs, and more. For example, why not join an online chat room dedicated to a hobby or interest? Or even start your own blog and become part of the blogging community.
Learn Something New
What better way to stay engaged than learning something new? Whether it’s taking up a new hobby, reading a book, listening to podcasts, or teaching yourself a language. Use this opportunity at home to explore some of these.
If you need some motivation and guidance, there are plenty of online courses available from universities around the world. From photography to web development, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
Body
At-home workouts don’t have to be boring. Use this time to switch up your routine, try something new, and challenge yourself! Yoga, HIIT, and Weightlifting are a few examples of exercises you can use to switch up your routine.
If working out isn’t your thing, that’s okay too – any type of physical activity will do the trick. Go for a walk around the neighborhood, dance in the kitchen, or ride a bike in an open space. All of these activities release endorphins which help us feel happier and reduce stress levels.
Cook Comfort Food
Cooking is an excellent way to relax and destress – try making a delicious meal or dish that reminds you of something special. You can either try making chicken and waffles from scratch or try a recipe you’ve never made before.
Remember that comfort food can also be healthy – make sure to include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Not only do these foods provide essential vitamins and minerals for your body, but they can also boost your mood too!
Get Creative
Creativity is a great way to express yourself and channel emotions. Why not try some DIY projects around the home or draw/paint something that makes you feel good? You don’t need to be an artist or a craftsman – simply put aside some time in the day to unleash your creativity without judging yourself too much.
Mental health and creativity go hand-in-hand, so let yourself get lost in the process!
Unplug
It’s easy to become overwhelmed when constantly plugged into technology. Being bombarded with news, social media posts, and emails can cause stress and anxiety. So why not give yourself a break?
Set aside some time each day when you completely unplug from all devices – switch off your phone, log out of social media, power down the laptop, and just be present. Take some deep breaths, enjoy a cup of tea, or read a book without any distractions – these small moments will work wonders for your mental well-being.
Appreciate Nature
Taking time to appreciate nature is one of the most calming activities one can do. Even if you’re at home, you can still find moments to connect with nature. You could open your windows or sit in the garden and listen to birds singing.
You can also grow some plants or herbs and watch them flourish over time. Gardening is a great stress reliever and can help boost your mood too!
A home is a safe place where we can be ourselves and express our emotions without judgment. Use this time at home to practice self-care and focus on your mental health. These eight activities will help keep you engaged, encourage creativity, and provide moments of peace – allowing you to take care of yourself in the best way possible.

It’s Presidents Day
Celebrating Presidents Day is for thinking about all of our Presidents, to me anyway. I would not celebrate several Presidents, especially these days. I take great pride in being American but would love to return to the time when the people mattered.
On this day, my mind goes to our Founding Fathers who laid the groundwork for a civil society. I can imagine how hard that must have been, some love and others hate and the story continues.
I believe in the Constitution, it’s America’s framework, and wish people in office would read and follow the laws. I read a copy of the original Constitution and it’s straightforward. It’s clear who can run for office and who can’t. Those rules are being overlooked today or we would have one less on the campaign trail. The same rules apply to anyone in Congress but they left the book at home.
Sorry, this post isn’t upbeat. We vote for President next year and we have no viable candidates. I see a future with more division, hatred, racism, lying, mass shootings, and losing more personal rights.
That doesn’t make me feel hopeful.

Parents Who Are Only Fans Members Share Their Logic In These Videos
These videos will give insight into the parent’s lack of interest in their kid being expelled and their life turned upside down. It’s like a cult, are these parents involved in something deeper?
There are pages of women, possibly men who are scantily dressed. They show a lot of their body but it’s not porn. It’s like your kid reading a Playboy magazine, do you want your kids to watch that? This is an example.
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(561x0:563x2)/crystal-jackson47-e57f861bf1e848208d1a83b04fd9e2f5.jpg)
https://www.fox35orlando.com/video/1407482
This is another video of the same parent. It is hilarious, the logic and excuses parents make will turn your stomach. They fill me with rage.

This happening across the world, it’s not an American problem. You never know if your employees are Only Fans members. This story is sickening.
What the kids go through at school when their parent/parents are members of Only Fans. The link may include other stories on the page. The story to read is the first one on the page talking about Only Fans and suicide.
The mom who complains about her kids being expelled.
Watching these videos is important, you need to understand what’s on the parents’ minds, and how they justify disobeying the school rules. I did add a couple of videos about kids who committed suicide after being expelled from school. This is not surprising to me.
I will continue to look for the number of students who have committed suicide over Only Fans.
They have a free membership, I’m going to sign up for the free membership and see what is available. I’m sure it will get under my skin but I have to know what kids can see for free.

Creating a Safety Plan for Leaving an Abusive Relationship By Don’t Lose Hope
Meet Griffy, She’s A Daddy’s Girl
I was looking for a Brussels Griffon without the high price. There is a small but awesome no-kill shelter nearby, and I had talked to about wanting a Brussels Griffon and it wasn’t long before we met Griffy.
She was living on the streets pregnant, fortunately, an employee at Dallas Animal Control sent her to the shelter in Plano. The day I picked her up, she had just said goodbye to her babies and the foster mother. I know she must have been in shock, losing her babies and leaving her foster care and in a new house.
She took a lot of training, arguing about who’s the boss, and she didn’t want much petting but we now have the calmest dog except when she sees the UPS or any large truck going by the house. Her best buddy is her brother Jett whom you met the other day.
Giffy is a daddy’s girl, he walks her every day and takes both dogs to the park. When she started sleeping by me it was a total shock. I love her so much.
I’ve shown you, my children, show me yours in the comment section.

Golf for Fitness Improves Your Lifestyle
Golf is an incredibly popular sport that offers a variety of benefits for those who choose to play. Not only can golf offer physical fitness and an improved lifestyle, but it also provides the chance to organize a tournament. Have you considered organizing or taking part in a san diego golf tournament, for instance? This is something worth looking into as a great part of the world to enjoy a game of golf.
We shall discuss in this article the many advantages of golf, touching on the fitness side and how it helps many live a more fulfilling life. Then we can get more serious and talk about golfing tournaments. These can be run by a golf club, be on a world scale, or simply a friendly one that we organize for family members, friends, or work associates. So, let’s talk more about golf.
How Golf Keeps Us Fit and Improves Our Lifestyle
Golf is a great way to get in shape and stay active. It’s a low-impact sport that can be done at any time of the day while helping golfers improve their golf swing. What’s more, golf encourages golfers to walk around the course, instead of using motorized golf carts. This helps golfers stay active while experiencing the fresh air and outdoors.
In addition to physical fitness benefits, golf can also help improve golfers’ mental health. The game of golf requires a lot of focus and concentration, which has been shown to reduce stress levels and relieve anxiety. Golfers have reported feeling calmer and more relaxed after golfing.
What Golfers Enjoy About Golf Courses
Golfers can enjoy all these advantages as they learn techniques, practice on courses, and compete with other golfers in tournaments. This comes with the opportunity to stay active while having fun or feeling competitive at the same time.
Furthermore, golf can provide great networking opportunities when organizing or participating in tournaments. Whether you’re looking for some extra exercise or just want a change of pace from your everyday routine, golf has something for everyone. Golf is a sport that encourages a diverse range of ages to its game.
Golf Tournaments
Arranging golf tournaments can be a great way to build relationships within a golfing community. With golf being so popular, there are numerous golf courses one can join. A tournament can also be used as an excellent marketing opportunity to generate media exposure and attract new golfers.
Competitions can be open to all golfers, or members of golf clubs could organize private tournaments. Whichever type you choose to run, it can be a great way to build camaraderie between golfers and also allow golfers from all over the world a chance to compete. It’s important to remember that a tournament takes time and money to organize, so make sure you’re prepared for the task.
If you are winning games, why not see if there is a chance you might be able to turn professional and enter the bigger tournaments on the world stage? Achieving this can be a combination of talent, practice, commitment, opportunity, and a willingness to travel. It helps when we have a supportive team behind us.
Golf is an excellent sport that offers a variety of benefits, including enhanced physical fitness and improved lifestyles. For golfers looking to take their game further, the tournament provides a great platform to get together with competitors locally, nationally, or globally. Golf clubs and courses provide the location for all levels. The sport provides plenty of opportunities for players to stay active while having fun and building life-long relationships with fellow golfers. So what are you waiting for? Get involved today!

Meet My Shadow
We adopted Jet from Operation Kindness, they are so nice and truly take care of animals. There is a large outside area where the dogs can lounge and play, a huge cat room, and the dogs are walked every day.
We didn’t want a baby, but that’s exactly what we did. It was during the pandemic and dogs were being adopted as soon as they came in. After weeks of looking, I fell in love with Jet. Little did I know we would be my shadow.
