I know that the woman who sits across from me doesn’t like me. I am bitchy, moody and sensitive large black woman. Not exactly what I would call a great “work mate”. Unfortunately, “M” is meeting me at the end of my cycle – the corner of I need a change and carpe diem.

“You Can Heal Your Life” by Louise Hay has a list of metaphysical and/or emotional reasons for physical ailments and corresponding, healing affirmations. On Sunday summer my left back molar started to feel achy like I had something in it, like popcorn but I can’t remember eating any popcorn. It seemed to be causing my jaw and neck to be sore and swollen.
