Looking for Humor in all the Inappropriate Places

8-29-18

I so adore this younger version of myself! What all she/me/we/I have survived and the ways we’ve grown are incredible.

An Empath, a Borderline, a Bipolar/PTSD Veteran and a Narcissist walk into a bar…

Nope – not a funny story at all… This is the cosmic joke of my life these past few years. And all 4 of these characters as well as others have played roles… My goal is to not only survive – my goal is to thrive.

I plan to use these challenges as stepping-stones and create a better, stronger more successful version of myself and to have one hell-of-a fun time along the journey.

In case you’re wondering, I’m the Empath.

Hi. I’m Carol. And I’ve got a story…

You’ve heard the line, “Been there, done that, got the T-shirt”? I’ve got damn near all the T-shirts. I’ve been collecting these crappy T-shirt prizes like a hoarder on a triple espresso at a flea market. I have survived time and time again and I know shit. I have strong survival and adaptive skills. I’m an expert researcher; a knowledge junkie and – I know better – I just don’t always DO better.

Anyone else?

It is my hope that in sharing my stories and journey others (you my new friend?) may be able to avoid pitfalls, climb out of trenches, laugh out loud, recognize one’s own complexities and patterns and essentially find that life is indeed groovy.

This blog is a journey in stories, over sharing, doing whatever it takes to overcome (emphasis on, “Doing”) and release past traumas and anything else that blocks feeling Groovy. It’s about finally, once and for all, practicing deep personal self-love – right now – not when one’s perfect.

Groovy Happy You is a Lifestyle Blog. It’s about remembering, using and finding resources to align with and enjoy feeling Groovy. Now. There is so very much fun available! It’s time to make life about enjoying and celebrating that groovy feeling.

Groovy is a state of mind.

Sometimes “life” interferes with feeling Groovy. And it’s very easy to get lost in non-groovy mush.

Groovy Happy You is the place to find your way back. GHY is a place to remember and realign to feeling Groovy. Here is a growing collection of Groovy resources such as books, programs, and websites. You will also find that I give shout-outs to people who are instrumental on the journey and are models of living Groovy lives.

Cheers to Living Groovy!

Thank you for reading this older post – I hesitated including these and I flipped and flopped and overthought and then decided it would be worth including these as they may be useful to someone else on their own journey.

They not so elegantly document the messiness – and therein lies the beauty and purpose.
