Text of the page (random words):
casa cucaracha into a casita a tiny house i found i had everything i needed one couch big enough for two people two bedrooms with beds a kitchen with two pans and a pot enough dishes and silverware for me and three other people and one tv the bathroom was so small that at five feet tall i couldn t turnaround in a circle but that was fine because i used the bathroom to shower pee brush my teeth and do my hair that s what bathrooms are for right i immediately pondered how spoiled i was as a us citizen i wondered why i had so many things back home why my master bath is so large with two sinks at my house there are two tvs one in the bedroom and one in the living room both for convenience my husband even added a swivel thingee on the living room tv so he could be entertained while he works from home or cooks i m convinced these extras are merely for convenience we ve mastered the art of comfort in the states and i am no exception even though i gave a lot of clothes away i still have two closets full i possess several pairs of jeans distressed black white flared skinny and barrel leg every time i attend a new event i buy more clothes including shoes so i am not seen twice in the same outfit in person or on social media owning all of these clothes is for one reason vanity why else does one need so many pairs of the same thing in a different variation collectively costa rican grocery stores lack diversity and this took a minute to digest in the states we not only have several places from which to buy food but we also have variety within each store let s use cheese as an example in cr there are two cheeses cheddar and mozzarella imagine your life with two cheese choices nah for real think about it i don t know about you but i use gouda for scramble eggs i have shredded mexican cheese blend for tacos i buy goat cheese crumbles for my homemade gourmet salads for the past six months i ve had none of that and you know what i didn t self combust speaking of the grocery store i ve been telling folks that we in the states think we re cute with our little go to the farmer s market and buy local campaigns i don t wanna poo poo on the idea it is a great start however what i ve found is that in the back of our minds many of us know that if the farmer s market doesn t have what we want then we can simply go to our grocer well in cr local and grocer are sometimes one in the same especially in terms of produce generally speaking the grocery store only seemed to have what was locally sourced for example one week i had some amazing mangoes next week no mangoes it didn t matter how bad i wanted mangoes i wasn t gone get none until they grew and ripened from someone s tree finally i traveled in many costa ricans cars which for lack of a better word were raggedy i don t mean a little old and bit beat down i mean hole in the floor engine light beeping on the dashboard raggedy it didn t bother me though i never felt unsafe because the alternative was walking on the side of the road which really was dangerous i didn t need leather seats dashcams or lane assists are those things nice sure but i didn t need them to get from point a to point b i arrived just fine in somebody s raggedy car i think i ve said enough for now as i settle back in to being in the land of milk and honey i ll be thinking more about how i can use up a little less honey until then what do you think about any of this are you a minimalist do you want to be monday notes living in costa rica taught me about non attachment inspiring image 175 rubik s cube monday notes becoming a yoga teacher helped me to understand balance inspiring image 174 parrot san ramón monday notes living in costa rica taught me to consume less share this email a link to a friend opens in

teacher on june 22 2026 i have much to say about yoga the process and my six months in costa rica but i ve decided to tell you about through different modes of creative writing kinda like my time in cr we ll see how this unfolds first i will begin with a poem i wrote during training i also read this at the end of my first class during meditation i ll explain more as i go along but for now please know this was one of the most transformational experiences i ve had in my life balance the balance you find in a pose is the one you can find when you go home home home as in off your mat that s where the real practice is at when they ask for more you can do less there is no need for you to be stressed these weren t just poses they weren t just cues but strategies that you can use to find equilibrium while in the fray to add more stillness to your day to ground yourself if you feel excess with an ujjayi where you ll find your breath to seek support in your daily life so you can balance with little strife you don t need more food or material stuff you don t need more you have enough performing more won t do the trick in fact it just might make you sick just look within you already have it intuitively shift one of your habits a boundary here i am statement there before you know it you ll be self aware once you balance yourself you ll be doing your part so the question is when will you start 2026 k e garland share this email a link to a friend opens in new window email tweet like loading inspiring image 37 chillin image june 24 2026 may 23 2026 kegarland 85 comments share this email a link to a friend opens in new window email tweet like loading mental health matters how i healed myself chiron and the concept of the wounded healer part i june 15 2026 may 23 2026 kegarland 64 comments i have been studying astrology and using it in my life way before gen z normalized it way before knowing your big 3 became common knowledge and way way before astrology apps and social media reels made it easy for the masses to tap in however i ve rarely shared this due to fear of being shamed but we re living in a different time now and i m semi confident no one will call me a witch or burn me at a stake so prior to talking about how i self healed it s necessary to begin with a small dive into my birth chart in 2019 my sister introduced me to her astrologer david since then i ve received two one and a half hour birth chart readings within 20 minutes of my first reading david highlighted a significant section my chiron placement it is important to understand chiron as a planet and as a greek mythical creature before moving on chiron orbits between saturn and uranus and was found in 1977 initially it was classified as a comet later a minor planet asteroid source this planet was named after a centaur in greek mythology according to mythology chiron the centaur was different than his counterparts because he wasn t violent and savage instead he was known for his wisdom and knowledge of medicine he also lived with a wound that wouldn t heal as a result he would heal everyone except himself astrology combined knowledge of the two and assigned meaning to it in birth charts everyone has a chiron placement but it means something different for each of us overall this is the gist chiron s placement in the chart can reveal a core wound that may take a lifetime to work through as we grapple with pain we gain wisdom that we can pass on to others like a magical salve in fact the symbol for chiron is shaped like a key since unlocking his powers opens up a portal to deep inner peace astrostyle carl jung who we respect for creating archetypes calls chiron the wounded healer and so do astrologists my chiron placement is in aries in the 9th house what follows is a combination of notes from my 2019 reading with david and the website mastering the zodiac chiron in aries your sense of being has been violated in some way and you may fear asserting yourself you may also over compensate by attempting to be the first at everything physically you may suffer head wounds you may become a pioneer in a way which will be of service to humanity characteristics of chiron in the 9th house potential for deep self awareness and healing an opportunity to heal emotional wounds through spiritual exploration philosophical understanding and broadening of horizons a chance to transform lower aspects of self and ascend to higher states of consciousness another strength is the potential for communication skills especially in matters of spirituality and philosophy furthermore david said that i would have to release the bondage i had with my family and to reach a higher spiritual level my career should be focused on some type of healing work he reiterated multiple times that if i wanted to attain enlightenment then i should be doing work that heals people i was given this information five years after i d begun a healing journey and four years after i began this blog i mention this timeline because i never use astrology to predict the future after all we do have free will and it seems silly to me that my entire life would be laid out while i just perform as a human being typically i use astrology to understand what happened in the past or to confirm the present at the 50 minute mark david stopped to ask if anything he d said made sense what do you do for work he asked i told him about my degrees and being a professor then i talked about writing by 2019 this blog had become an intentional space for inspiration i had written published the unhappy wife a book to help women heal from misaligned unions and i d edited published daddy reflections of father daughter relationships an anthology designed to help women heal from dysfunctional parental ties david was shocked so was i learning about my chiron placement affirmed writing decisions i d made up to that point understanding that my healing journey is closely tied to the themes of identity belief and the quest for meaning justified every published word and knowing that i may be drawn to guiding others through their own journeys of self discovery and by extension healing my own wounds demonstrated that astrology was more than just a hokey personality test finally because i don t use astrology to predict events i seemed to have ignored and forgotten everything david had explained years ago when i re watched the recording for this post he mentioned that i would have to reckon with my marriage in some way he also said 2024 would be a big year where everything he d outlined would come together at the time i had no idea what in the who hay hell he was talking about of course i do now next i ll explain explicit processes i used to heal myself until then feel free to leave a comment i m on summer break so i have time to engage related posts mental health matters how i healed myself years of self therapy strategies part

myself a writer until 2014 once i accepted this part of my identity i started observing and listening to writers and aspiring writers i ve determined if you want to be a writer then this is what you ll have to do start writing now that my writing is public knowledge people confide in me cousins the man at the florida writers association conference and the woman who asked me to ghostwrite her novel each want to write but when i ask them what they ve written so far the answer is nothing i advise each of them the same start writing whether it s a public blog or a private diary the first step is to begin make time to write i often thought my job was getting in the way of writing that wasn t the truth and because no one was going to offer me more time in the day i had to shift my priorities instead of watching tv every morning i wrote for two hours then i began my regular day where could you shift your priorities so that you can make time to write take time to edit after you ve written something consider that your first draft all writers have first drafts and second and thirds and you get the picture as a former english teacher rarely have i seen a masterpiece written in one fell swoop when you take time to write that means you might find yourself pondering over the use of the word stroll saunter or walk because you know each one of those words will change the connotation and flow of your sentence so take the time to think about the words you ve written in a meaningful way you think your stories have already been heard probably i mean an infinite number of books have been written and read but not yours and not the way you can write it comments about the unhappy wife validated this concept years ago story teller alley approved me to sell my book on their site one of the reasons it was accepted is because of originality a reviewer said although stories of unhappy marriages have been told before because these are all true stories and each person is different the stories are all different in search of a salve reviews have been similar a booklife reviewer said this stories of addiction and recovery are familiar but garland s memoir shines in its willingness to expose the author s darkest ugliest moments in search of a salve is uniquely unsparing and ultimately triumphant i m glad the innovation of my words shines through sometimes people read titles and assume they know what s inside but it s a false assumption likewise if i would ve thought these book concepts were trite narratives then i might not have written either of these books so my advice don t worry about it somebody wants to read it the way you ve written it you re worried about what other people think on my blog i write about many things that have happened in my life stories include family friends and people i barely know i couldn t write half of what you read here if i stopped to worry about someone s hurt feelings and revisionists forms of history initially an anne lamott quote helped me forge ahead with authentic writing lamott said if people wanted you to write warmly about them they should have behaved better that quote changed my entire creative nonfiction writing life the other part that has helped me write the truth is to separate fact from emotion for example it s a fact that my dad packed up my belongings in the middle of the night while i slept however the emotion i experienced was abandonment stick to the facts and make clear when you re describing an emotion i hope one of these sparks the writer in you trust me someone somewhere is waiting to hear your voice even if the someone is you share this email a link to a friend opens in new window email tweet like loading monday notes when 47 is in office ju...
