Surviving LA ( Part IX )

Image
By Jodie Spartz

     Hey ya'll,

    Things have gotten better especially for me mentally "going within" is no easy task & mental/emotional healing does not happen over night. Real quick I'm going to tell you what I woke up thinking... I figure I'm glad there was no one able to support me during my trials & tribulations. I picked myself up by my boot straps & after a huge slump turned tragedy into triumph. I have become a world traveler, a brave heart that has never been afraid to venture out alone; however I enjoy having someone with me to share experiences with. The energy of the universe guides me like the wind & sometimes I can actually feel it. 

     I have my bad days but I don't look at them as bad days anymore, I've come to understand I feel very intensely & am connected to everything. I have a determination to see how the world works & how others are maintaining their lives, there's something in me that doesn't want to stop exploring. It's too easy when you're connected & disconnected at the same time. 


The Update

    Chile I have to get off this overnight shift, it's making me feel like a damn zombie, I'm always tired. Last week they cut me down to two days & during that time off I felt more alive & awake than I ever did in my life, so this job gotta go ASAP! Soooo I started looking around for other options. Some long post ago I told ya'll I found this organization called WOOF, World Organization Organic Farming. https://wwoof.net/ We joined up after much research. Currently we are looking forward to our first experience on a cannabis farm here in California, were waiting to hear back about our arrival date. 

    I also applied to a mental health clinic to be a case manager. I know I did really well on both interviews, they said they will be picking people on September 22nd. I applied to be a corrections officer as well. I passed the test and now have to go to Rancho Cucamonga for a live scan in October. I have an audition on Saturday to go to comedy school for free, so we'll see what happens. Living in the car isn't all that bad anymore. I've come up with a routine that involves staying in AirBnB's & hotels when traveling.  We've had the car for three months & in that time we've been to San Diego and San Luis Obispo, we're still hiking, we've been to Temecula Creek, Trail Park which was absolutely beautiful. Escondido Falls was an experience. It seems that there's never a dull moment in my life, but hey why should there be!

Until next time Family stay tuned!

A Recovery Love Story

By Jodie Spartz
  Thank you Cliff for allowing me to write the love story of you & your Beautiful wife! I found this just tear jerking ❤️        There was a time in my life when my one true love was wine and spirits. I mean I knew drinking wasn't good for me & I played around with the thought of stopping every once in a while, but never enough for anything to stick. I wasn't the AA type of guy, I didn't feel the need to express my problems with a group of people. I didn't think that would be my route to recovery if I ever decided to stop. What I didn't know was that I was right. One day I was driving, on my way to take myself fishing. I had a 12 pack of Bud Light in my ice chest in the trunk. As I was driving I couldn't wait to pop a can open & feel that cold refreshing taste.      As I drove I passed a church tent revival. I slowed down for no particular reason & laughed to myself. I guess I caught them in a moment. Watching them as they were run...

Cilla Lee-Jenkins Book 12

By Jodie Spartz
  Remember book reports when we were in school? For some they were a dreaded terrible thing, for others they were fun ways to recall your favorite book and an easy format to tell someone what the book was about. I've decided to post some reports of books I've read recently; let's jump right in.       This book was given to me as an inspiration gift because it was noticed that I enjoy writing and reading very much. At work during down time I would write short stories and I even wrote the love story of one of my married co-workers on this blog. Matter fact the person that gave me the book! You can read his story here it's called A Recovery Love Story .  Author:   Susan Tan/ Illustrated by, Dana Wulfekotte Title:    Cilla Lee - Jenkins The Epic Story Main Characters:     Cilla Lee-Jenkins, Gwendolyn Lee-Jenkins, Essie Lee-Jenkins, Ye Ye, Nai Nai, Grandma Jenkins, Grandpa Jenkins, Mom & Dad Setting:   This story mostly takes place b...
