"Your Day to Day is Messed Up."

In the middle of the night, I was slowly awakened by a full bladder.  While laying half awake and fighting to stay in our warm cozy bed, I heard, "Your day to day is messed up."

I have been thinking a lot about the in service I will be giving on March 21st to attending psych physicians re: using OPA Provider Forms.  

My wife Kelli has advised me in the past to always know your audience, when ever giving a presentation or putting on a Training for OPA For Mental Health.  Therefore, I have been pondering what to share with the attending doctors in March.  Previously, my audience has been other Peer Specialists who also live with mental illness, patients, students of various hospital professions, and mixed audiences at Washington State Conferences and King County Conferences.

After hearing this insight last night, I now know how to better address the attending doctors on inpatient psych.  I plan to open with who I am and what I live with.  How and why I developed the cognitive behavioral tool for myself.  How and Why I share for free at Harborview.  That I own a registered copyright.  Please don't copy or modify the process.  Review the four-step process for managing the overwhelming stressors, creating daily structure, and achieving goals.  After sharing the purpose, value, and reason for using OPA For Mental Health for the people we serve, show and reinforce the value and purpose of the OPA Provider Form, which benefits both the people we serve, the providers, all staff, and the hospital overall.

It Says it's Right Here in These Teeth...Jaws

Thursday, October 11th During morning meditation, I asked my Spirit Guide Somoya what I needed to know for the day.  I then internally heard, "It says it's right here in these teeth...Jaws." I personally find shark teeth scary/frightening.  Some things in life are literally as dangerous as they look.  For instance, the teeth of the great white shark.  The fictional movie Jaws horrified me as a very young child.  To this day I am still afraid to swim in the ocean. Once I moved past the ingrained childhood fear, a Google search was in order.  The teeth identify sharks as prehistoric fish.  Sharks have been around way before humans, around 400 million years!  Sharks loose around 35,000 teeth in their lifetime.  These razor sharp teeth help them remain at the top of the food chain.  Without sharks being present in our oceans, our seas will eventually collapse!  Algae would over bloom, and all water life would suffer.  When sharks die, their teeth sink to the ocean botto

"See the good food. Feed the noogies." 2/25/21

 An oracle card last evening said to connect to my homeland.  I decided to give it a try today.  During the morning meditation.  This time I created a different visualization.  My first and ongoing visualization has always been of the Middle Ages, Rasko my horse, forest, open grassy field, gazebo on the bluffs looking at the Olympics and meeting up with spirit guides Somoya and Jenja.  This time I visualized me in a cloak, sandals, Rosko, forest of cedar trees, desert, gazebo on the bluff looking at the Mediterranean Sea, and meeting up with my ancestral spirits from Lebanon.
