The One Where You Protect Your Peace

Remember to protect your peace. We can only control ourselves and how we react to others. If our reaction is to finally stand up for ourselves to someone who repeatedly does not respect us, it can often get flipped around as if we are the disrespectful one. Don’t let them fool you. Don’t let them gaslight you into believing that you are the problem.

Pray for peace, for an answer to whatever the issue may be and God will guide you through it.

Matching energies and standing up for ourselves can sometimes mean we may give a bit of an attitude, but the key is to set these boundaries in a firm, matter of fact, respectful way, while still being more humble and kind than that person is to us. Be the bigger person in the end. Ange, resentment and holding grudges will only continue to hurt OUR peace.

The One Where Everyone Had a Choice

I’m sure I’ll get hate for this, but it’s the truth. I didn’t judge others for making their own personal choice, but they sure as heck judged ME and anyone who didn’t agree with them. I’m honestly starting to get more and more frustrated being four years out from when people had to choose between their jobs and the sh0t…. Saying that you “were forced” to get it truly isn’t accurate. We all had a choice. I’m a nurse. I’m also a single mom of two. I left my career to stand up for what I believe in. I’m not judging you for making the choice that you felt was best for you and your family based on information you had at the time… Even though many of YOU judged people like me for “not complying”. You possibly even called me a conspiracy theorist and told me that if I didn’t get it, I shouldn’t be a nurse anyway. But I AM saying that as a mental health nurse, I know the difference between holding someone down and forcing them to take an injection and giving them a choice with an ultimatum or...

The One With the Corrections Officer Strike

As a former Corrections Nurse, I will not remain silent on the issue going on in New York State right now. Corrections Officers are taken for granted. They are forced to work 8 extra hours on an almost daily basis. *Imagine going in for a 16 hour overnight shift from 3pm to 7am and then at about 6:30am when you are "finally almost done" you are ordered to stay until 3pm the next day - for a total of a 24 hour shift that you hadn't planned on. *Imagine being the only person assigned to a cell block for your entire shift, sometimes without a break because you are short staffed. *Imagine knowing that the prisoners are accused but not yet convicted of murder, and you have no idea if they might have a shiv/shank in their cell/room that could be used on you at any given moment. *Imagine knowing that when the nurses come on the unit with another officer to give out medication, you then feel responsible for their lives, too and would never forgive yourself if you fail to keep th...

The One Where You Learn to Have Empathy

💥I’m not a fan of Biden But I can acknowledge that what happened to him at the end of his term was a complete disregard for his human dignity when he had actual cognitive issues and it made me sad just to see him getting made fun of by MAGA and put on display by his own wife. 💥I’m not a fan of Zelenskyy But I can acknowledge that making fun of someone from another country in a room full of men laughing and then being berated in front of the whole world is absolutely disrespectful and is bullying at if’s worst. Vance and Trump could absolutely have been kinder and still stern. You don’t humiliate another world leader whose country is at war while trying to make a deal. 💥I’m not a fan of Trump But I can acknowledge that no matter how you FEEL about HIM, it needs to be put aside when his guests are parents of a girl who was brutally murdered and a little boy with cancer. Those who didn’t stand or clap out of respect last night should be ASHAMED of themselves. I am absolutely disgusted ...
