Inside, in the dark you can't tell what color the walls are, you just know what it feels like to live in a closet...

Such a great speech about coming out of the closet.  Whatever your closet might be, whatever your secret, whatever your truth.  

Some of the best quotes I've heard:

"No matter what your walls are made of, a closet is no place for a person to live." 

"Hard is not relative. Hard is hard."

"When you do not have hard conversations, when you keep the truth about youself a secret, you are essentially holding a grenade."

 There's a lot of great insight here.






The Three Pancake Girl Principles:

1. Be Authentic:  Take the armor off, be yourself.
2. Be Direct:  Just say it, rip the bandaid off.
3. Be Unapologetic:  You are speaking your truth, never apologize for that.

Pack Walking

I found this video on YouTube to be amazing (at the bottom of this post).  I don't think I've ever seen such obedience training in dogs just simply being walked.  And that's including Cesar Millan, The Dog Whisperer.

Here's the video.  It's actually quite mesmerizing.

Dancing Baby Groot

I went to see the movie, Guardians of the Galaxy this past Tuesday and loved it!  It's the kind of light-hearted action movie that I can see again and again. If you are among the crowd that tries to get out of the parking lot early by leaving as soon as the credits start rolling, you'll miss the little extra clip at the end.  

So here it is for all those that missed it. (scroll down)

And for those that haven't seen the movie yet, well I don't want to spoil it for you so I'm going to put the clip far far below this post.  Just don't scroll down.

Denver

Took a little trip to Colorado in the Denver/Boulder region.  Had lots of fun and hung out with friends.  It's kind of hard being back in the "real world" and it takes me a bit of time to process, settle, and get caught up with everything.

But you just can't beat the mountain views.

Petrochemical Weight Loss

I'm going to start the Petrochemical Weight Loss Protocol.

The Petrochemical Weight Loss Protocol was invented by Tiffany Rowan.

Here's the Recipe

You will need:
1-15 ml bottle of Citrus Fresh essential oil blend
1-5 ml bottle of Ledum essential oil
1- 15 ml bottle of Grapefruit essential oil
1 bag of OO capsules  (As long as you swallow 20 drops of 

Grapefruit, it doesn’t matter what size capsules you use.)

There are two parts to this protocol. You have to use the Citrus Fresh/Ledum mixture to break up the fat. Then you need to take Grapefruit by capsule to digest what the CitrusFresh/Ledum broke up.

First Part: Put 10 drops of Ledum into a bottle of Citrus Fresh. Put the orifice reducer back on and dot the oil all over the areas you want to focus on and smooth the oil into your skin.

Second Part: Put 20 drops of Grapefruit oil in a capsule, swallow it, then go to bed. 

Saturating the cells with grapefruit oil is key so make sure you swallow 20 drops.



I'm tired of trouble spots and I want to experiment for myself to see if it actually works.  I'll start out with my upper thighs and stomach pooch from a c-section and go from there if I have good results.  I'll post my progress.
