From House Wife To Film Maker

The days have clicked by since I posted last.  As I mentioned before, I’ve been working a ton, thank goodness.  It helps take the edge off.   I’ve been working twice a day for two different families, back to back, most of this week.  Then there’s picking Zac up from school at 11:30 and working on my business, and well, eating, then the need for sleep calls loudly.  Good news: Had a final interview with a church looking for a nursery worker for Sunday evenings.  I was hired, which is great.

So while I’ve been doing the bunny hop all over Birmingham this my posts suffer.

For the last few weeks I’ve been going around with a metal sliver in my toe.  I’ve tried repeatedly to get the bugger out.  But no go.  Hard to get something out you can’t see.  But I know it’s there because I felt it go in and it’s been hurting ever since.  The last few days I’ve put Black Salve on hoping to draw it out.   After I tested it today by walking around without a bandage or sock I can assure you that it’s not out.  There’s been a small ache in my foot that starts at my toe and moves up.  The other day the pain was radiating up my leg.  Have no idea how I’m going to get this thing out but I can’t help but make the connection to how things in our lives effect us even if we can’t see them.

They’re there every day causing a little pain and effecting our mental and physical health to some degree without our even knowing it because it’s not staring us in the face.

For the last near 7 years I’ve worked intensely on healing childhood traumas.  I continue to be surprised at how they’re having a lasting effect on me.  How I react to things and so forth.  I carried those issues into my marriage and the “unseen metal slivers” had their effects.  Then there was the marriage and the “slivers” that I accumulated there.

So where am I going with all this??  Last week my “ex” and I finally went for counseling.  It was a productive session.  I left crying.  But it was a good cry, like the drawing effects of Black Salve, the tears were drawing out the “slivers” we have between us.  These days I am feeling better toward my ex and he has improved toward me.  We’ve agreed to go every other week so I am hoping to see even more healing take place between us till finally all the “slivers” are drawn out and life is peace and sweet between us.

Love ya,
Theresa Jane
