Judith Ashley
is the author of The Sacred Women’s Circle series, romantic fiction that honors
spiritual practices that nourish the soul and celebrates the journey from
relationship to romance.
For
this fifth Monday in April I’ve decided to write about a subject I’m eager to
have end—spring allergy season. In the past couple of years I’ve had more
problems. Not because I’m sensitive to a new plant but because the plants that
used to bloom sequentially now bloom concurrently. In the past I had a couple
of months of itchy, watery eyes and runny nose. And those symptoms were not
constant.
Now,
in 2018, I’m using an Albuterol Inhaler and still have problems depending on
where I am and what I’m doing. While I’m looking forward to purchasing
geraniums and planting them in the pots around my back deck, I’m not looking
forward to being outside to do that. If it is a rainy day I’ll at least breathe
better. If it isn’t, I’ll most likely wear a mask to help protect me from the
worst of the pollinated air.
I
truly am looking forward to the end of spring allergy season. I’ll be happy to be outside until the summer heat hits (used to be
a few days in the 90’s and even fewer in the 100’s—now it’s weeks of hot
temperatures).
Fall?
If there is no smoke from forest fires like there was this past year, I’ll be
fine.
Winter?
Winter is pretty much my favorite time of year. No allergies. I deal with the
cold better than the heat. Love snow on the ground or better yet, watching the snow
fall but not stick! The only drawback is the lack of color from the flowers in
my yard.
And
you? Is there a season of the year you want to end before it even begins?
If
you’ve followed this blog you know that in addition to writing romance, I’ve also ventured into writing non-fiction. My
first book, Staying Sane in a Crazy
World is available at your favorite e-retailer. By following the simple process outlined in
this book, if there are things in your life that drive you crazy, you’ll have a
plan to change that!
Do
you ever feel as if the world around you is tumbling out of control and there
is nothing you can do to make your world a better place?
Do
you ever wish there was?
Staying
Sane in a Crazy World may help guide you toward stopping the tumbling and
choosing how to take effective control of your life.
The
reality is there is no One answer that fits all but we each have Our answer.
In
this short guide, Judith Ashley leads you through a straight-forward process
that allows you to find Your answers. Answers you’ll use to craft a Personal Staying Sane Plan that will
help you regain and keep your balance whenever the world around you is
out-of-whack.
