Hey everyone, I'm sorry I've been a bit quiet these last days. I was on a roll there but I am now dealing with a lot of extra symptoms of my medication for the management of my adema and lymphadenopathy due to the stupid and annoying Lymphoma. 😑 The meds are harsh. It's a steroid, Prednisone, and then a loop diuretic, Lasix. They both mess heavily with potassium levels, sodium and electrolytes for hydration. I have to constantly compensate through food and drinking a controlled amount of liquids. Zeco coconut water is my go to. No added sugar so it's lower in carbs which I also control around 60g, Over 900mg of potassium in a much smaller amount of liquid than if I were to drink Gatorade zero for example. I'd have to have 4 bottles to equal the same in that one small coconut water 🥥 💧. 15g carbs per 11.2 ounce bottle. Another good source of potassium are avocados 🥑, potatoes 🥔, and bananas 🍌! I've had to do my homework so I'm sharing these facts and maybe they could be important to know one day! And this counts as a holistic approach to my dietary needs and medication regulation. The average person doesnt do this kind of research on their own conditions. They trust the doc and only the doc and rack up thousands in bills. Ive been very proactive about this. I want full and total control of my body. I know it well, been in it for 44 years! Anyway, all this has made my life very difficult because not only do I deal with that, but I have to now deal with the joyous fun of withdrawal symptoms as I am at the last of my prescription and the symptoms are not fun at all. Fatigue, this burning skin sensation, weakness, mild but annoyingly persistent headaches, muscle aches all over. It's awful. The weakness part is the worst part. I can handle pain any day but weakness.. no. This makes me mad. It really does. I have too many major troubles to solve to deal with this right at the moment but they are all coinciding. I am doing my best to manage it all. I'm also home-schooling my daughters until we move to Arkansas. So, the pressure is on! I think I work best under pressure. It "lights a fire under my ass" if you will!

I just wanted to share how I structured our point system in the class. Each level has a custom name. As you advance, the level goes up! All it takes to send those levels up is to participate! Share posts that people here like! Get people to like your content in here and you'll be recognized for your knowledge and skill! I thought this would be a fun way to encourage participation!

I have taken some time to go through all the member profiles and found some members with no activity for over 60 days. I assume they no longer have active membership. If they should return to the Skool platform and wish to rejoin, they are welcome. But I like to have accurate numbers of active members! Most of you are pretty active on Skool itself, so you are not a concern. But remember, it is little to no effort to click like or leave an emoji in the comments! I am looking to really make this community a thriving place to learn. And I notice now many of the spiritual Skools out there have gone inactive. I'm in a bunch that are totally stagnant. The teachers have left their students with nothing to do! Perhaps I should tell those people to come on over here! Lol On that note, HELP ME BRING ACTIVE MEMBERS! If you talk to others on Skool or other platforms that might like this community, please suggest it! Thank you!

An idea I was recently thinking about was to make a Skool for giving singing lessons. As that would require me to pay a separate fee for a different skool community, I was thinking I'd start it here. But with specific use! Singing enchantments, crafting chants and spells in song or lyrical form. Learning how to write poetic verse in various forms and languages like Old Norse, Gaelic, Old English, etc.. And primarily learning to sing and learn traditional folk and cultural songs. Using your voice for powerful workings, energetic exercises, singing runes (which will be part of the advanced rune course). I have been singing since before I could speak whole sentences. I have been trained for years through school choir instruction and years of devoted practice, singing for my parents' karaoke business, doing recording studio work, and singing in professional bands. I have been on stage in front of Sony talent scouts, I've had Nashville producers interested in me. I've even won contests and awards! I am hoping this might draw some attention to my Skool in a new way! This will definitely be a paid course. The amount of work I'll need to devote to that course will be extensive and you will gain the benefits of someone with real training, real thorough understanding of music. I am not claiming to be classically trained or anything like that. But my years and years of experience, knowledge and vast range of technique and skills is not something I have acquired easily! Anyway, I wanted to float this idea! See what ya'll think! Maybe do a free intro course as well to start it out with an understanding of my actual skills and what I will teach and then make an advanced one. The advanced course would include live one-on-one evaluation as well. I would have you singing on live video with me! Real-time instruction! Hearing your voice, how it sounds, learning your range and working with you directly to improve your own skill! Here are some of my many singing videos to give you an idea of what I can do! I also play self taught piano and the last video is of me playing and singing! Hope you enjoy!
