Warped Gratitude Blog

Today I am thankful for the insight of my psychotherapist.     Psychotherapists typically see other psychotherapists just as a matter of course.     I've spend most of my adult life in psychotherapy.  It helps.     It is not uncommon to have a client bring in an issue that uncovers your own.  At that point, one needs to go see someone to work through their stuff in order to be present with his or her clients.     I have a therapist.      She resembles Shannon in many ways.....she is shorter and much skinnier.     She has Shannon's voice, hair color and style.     She doesn't have Shannon's smirk.     I've seen her for a about a year or so.     I stopped practicing psychotherapy for two years when the stalking made its way to my office and other therapists as well as the billing specialist were harassed.  I went back into private practice in 2013 but took clients by referral only.   I've only started adv

Today I am thankful for the ability to document stalking crap. My brand new ultra-expensive 32 gb Samsung phone has been hacked. At least, I think it was.  It will flash various screens while it sits on the table charging.  It should be silent and off when I am not using it. I fell asleep for five hours, when I awoke the phone was flashing. ***** I'm trying to remember all of the weird stuff that has been going on this week so I can write it down to remember it. I apologize for this being so choppy.  I've been working twelve hour days selling insurance and providing hypnosis services. If you want a boon in business, put an ad on a coupon website.  You don't make any money (they keep most of it) but it's a good way to get the word out about your services. I built a new website and a web app. They are pretty spiffy!  I'm busy.  I'm tired. I need a place to document this. ***** On Sunday, November 14th - I awoke to find that someone had open

Today I am thankful for closure.   Warning: This is a serious post - for once.  I am sharing my resignation letter to the Libertarian party.  I was told that I needed to send one in, so I sent an email to the Records Director and asked if he wanted me to mail it.  I never received a response.  I do know that they are getting the message.  They have finally put an ad forth to find someone to take my place.  I was told that they would probably fold the group because people are not participating. Why would that be? Why would people join the party and hesitate to take action? Perhaps they feel like they won't get anything done?  Perhaps they feel alienated? We need to find out why and change our ways. People cease to be motivated when they do not see results for their efforts, don't feel appreciated or find themselves slandered for doing the best that they can. Yes, I am still bothered by the very public smear campaign against the man in Florida.  I thought th

Today I am thankful for my latest life lesson.   Pay attention to your intuition.  It can pick out red flags quicker than your conscious mind can.   It took me more than four decades of life to figure that out.   I am not accepting Facebook friend requests at all just because I am tired of Steve's drama.  I must get two to three requests per day from fake Facebook accounts (accounts with no friends and one picture).  It's crazy. Today, I had a request from someone who looked like Jane with a weird name.   I blocked her.   When I hire a social marketing guru to help me keep my pages up, maybe I'll change my mind.    There are a couple of websites where college students will negotiate to do such tasks with small business owners.  I have someone revamping my website and branding now.    I'm going to focus on what I want.  That was the advice from the legal assistant who tried to help me stop the stalking.  The stalking stopped. I am not sure i

Today I am thankful that my generosity has solved a problem for me. Steve's girlfriend keeps calling. I'm not sure they are actually seeing each other now.  They were seeing each other while I was dating Steve. All I know is that Jane had a tendency to call me with problems when Steve broke up with me. She calls to talk about being taken advantage of by abusive sociopathic men, then she brings Steve up and when I try to warn her about sociopaths and how they operate, she hangs up on me. ***** In the past, Steve would harass me shortly after she called. I wonder if Steve is putting her up to calling me.  He has a way of coming up in her conversations. He has a way of harassing me shortly before and after her contact. This latest round of contact could have been the result of my blocking his new Facebook account due to the creepy messages I had been receiving. ***** The last time she called here, she admitted to seeing Steve during our relationshi
