Holy freaking cannoli… the last month has been a mixed bag of all things emotions.
The lows: betrayal, defensiveness, anger, resentment, failure, and forlorn to name a few.
The highs: gratitude, happiness, peace, amusement, pride, enjoyment and love.
Then slipping into the black hole our families with complex needs tend to slide back into. Accompanied by anxiety, defeat, depression and overall PTSD.
For continued healing you can’t ignore these feelings. You have to take a seat and join them. Or get in the freaking hole with all the feels. Take care of yourself even if it means sleep, eating, hydrating and showering. These are big accomplishments some days.
Eventually, the clouds move again, perspective comes and you can climb out of the dark hole and proceed with life.
"Feelings come and go like clouds
in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.”

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
