My Experience with COVID 19

August 06, 2023

Today is August 6th, 2023, and I’m hopefully on the tail end of COVID, and this is my experience. I went to the doctor on Monday, July 31st, because I felt horrible. I felt like warm death. I’m not sure how warm death feels, but I’m sure the way I felt is exactly how it feels. I was lying in bed and trying to work between clients. I’m a licensed counselor, and I said, “Gurl, take yo azz to the doctor.” I eventually canceled the rest of the day, drove myself to urgent care, and was told it was COVID; I thought it was just a cold, fever, or something simple. I told the NP, “I thought COVID was over.” I didn’t really think that, but I kinda sorta did. She said, no, it’s not over; I was given a prescription for PAXLOVID and began taking it that night; I took the prescription by the instructions in the pamphlet.

Forgiveness

February 20, 2020

To elaborate on that definition, forgives is choosing to let go of the negative energy that binds you to the person that offended or wronged you. It is you who decides not to allow that negative energy to keep you two bound together. I have heard throughout life that forgiveness is for the victim, not the offender. I usually dismissed the thought and the person behind such foolish talk, which was what I believed it was. I now understand. Choosing to forgiv...

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs for Couples

December 16, 2020

When we enter relationships there are many components that can derail the relationship before it begins. I purposely don't mention personalities or how to resolve conflict, what this speaks of is our basic needs and how if those needs aren't met within the relationship negative things can happen, the relationship can be over before it begins or we can spend our lives within the relationship and check out mentally. Below is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and what I've done is applied them to being in a relationship and how it would look if those needs were not met within the relationship. I encourage you to provide feedback. Oh, I've used the term "coupling" to refer to couples. - Physiological needs: food, water, warmth, rest - In Coupling, these needs must be met so that each partner can feel safe in the created environment. - If this stage isn't reached early in a relationship, the relationship can end quickly or immediately become toxic. - Safety need...
