One of my lessons learned is that I should set my alarm on a Monday lest I oversleep, but I forgot to do that last night.
Another lesson learned is that I hate the feeling that muscle relaxants and similar drugs give me, because of my hospital experiences when I was young
Another one of my lessons learned is that I can get a blog post out every day, no matter what.
Do you see lessons learned in my images for today?
.
Another lesson learned is that I don’t have to know everything, including what the holidays of the day are.
Here’s what I find when I search YouTube for “lessons learned”.
I haven’t figured out how to modulate that tune so that it’s ready for release on Spotify, Apple Music, etc. But I know that it might be the most memorable part of my live performances.
Today, I’ll be going for a modulation of my haircut and a major modulation in my music-production process.

Thanks to all who are here for this modulation blog post, including YOU!
Somebody in yesterday’s Coping and Healing group said they wished they had been taught the real story of Thanksgiving when they were in school. In the same group, people also shared stories of their favorite memories of Thanksgiving.
The Thanksgiving stories I told included leaving after the meal to volunteer at a suicide hotline for eight hours, so I could listen to other people’s stories.
I don’t usually think of myself as shameless because I am often fighting shame — putting myself out there despite the shame I can easily feel about that.
As I mentioned to Sue during the interview yesterday, when I think of shameless people, it’s usually those narcissistic people who abuse power and harm others. But now I have another association with shameless — it’s working towards feeling less shame so you can put your authentic self out there.
I’m hoping to feel shameless when that podcast becomes available, probably in January.
My new definition of “shameless” also includes forgiving yourself for mistakes (instead of shaming yourself for them).
For example, I forgot to ask my traditional last-question-of-the-day on social media last night. As my shameless husband Michael likes to say, “No harm, no foul.”

I feel shameless about sharing the rest of my images for today.

I’m am shameless enough to say that I am NOT the opposite of talented.
I am so thankful for all who are here for this shameless post, including YOU!
In my Coping and Healing group yesterday, one of the members said they found my Triggers song very helpful, so I had no problem singing it to the group.
If you have a problem understanding the lyrics “certain movements of eyes” in that song, it refers to EMDR therapy. Because I’ve been having so many problems with technology and I want no problems with my appearance on the Therapist Uncensored podcast this Friday, I have scheduled some EMDR sessions with my therapist.
In my work, I don’t like focusing on problems; I focus on solutions. Therefore, “What’s the problem?” is a question I rarely ask. Nevertheless, what’s the problem with my images for today?
I don’t have a problem with the results of an online personality test matching me with these fictional characters.

What’s the problem with you leaving a comment, below?

Even though I am very cautious and (I thought!) clever about scams and even though I actually wrote a blog post about scams this week, I got scammed yesterday.
While I was in the midst of managing the release of my single “Artificial Intelligence” and many problems at work, I wasn’t intelligent enough to not be scammed by a very convincing and incredibly well-timed email about my mobile phone payment. After I entered a second credit card number (but NOT my social security number, thank goodness), I suspected I had been scammed.
I was waiting to get callbacks from my mobile phone carrier and my bank to corroborate and report that I had been scammed as my online Coping and Healing group was about to begin. I hoped the group members didn’t feel scammed when I told them I was on an important call and to start the group without me.
The helpful rep from my mobile phone carrier researched the history of emails to me and we both agreed I had been scammed. The nice rep from my bank immediately told me she had also been scammed, which made me feel better about being scammed and having to cancel two credit cards.
When I rejoined the group, I told them I had been scammed. Some members shared how that helped them feel less shame about being scammed in the past.
Then, in EMDR therapy, I tried to release all my shame and fears about being scammed.
Here are the images I gathered on the day I was scammed.
.
Yes, I am writing about being scammed on Dunce Day.
.
Who knew that dunce caps were a scam?
Here’s what I find when I search for “scammed” on YouTube.

I wish I could be released from my future-oriented concerns about how many people will listen to it and just appreciate the fact that it is released!
When I write a sentence like that one, I am released from worries about the future and regrets about the past.
Now it’s time for my other images to be released into this blog post.
All those responses look like scams. I am released from any need to comment on today’s observances. I am released from taking anything too seriously, including meditating.
Thanks to all who are here for this released blog post, including YOU!!
