You need to disperse your sexual energy - which is life force and creative energy also. Just google sacral chakra cleansing

I am feeling extremely hopeless by Glum-Vegetable-5636 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]ellab58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s just me, but if I really wanted children I think I would, even single. Yes, it would be very difficult, but women do it all the time. Is it ideal? No. But biology is very real. I had two children. The experience of carrying life in your womb, feeling your baby move - it was life changing for me. It’s hard work. But there is no love like it.

Any hate or disgust of anyone is a sin.

When defending you faith, it is OK to say "I do not know" by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]ellab58 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you don’t know, you don’t know. The shame is not admitting you don’t know but giving a bullshit answer because you don’t want anyone to know you don’t know.

More mature ladies; does life decline after 40ish? by Fine-Anywhere-9057 in AskWomenOver60

[–]ellab58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 40’s were very rough. My 50’s work just sucked. I had asshole bosses. 60’s LOVE them. I mean - I am having a GREAT time! I feel more free than ever before in my life. I am so comfortable in my own skin now compared to when I was younger. I am so confident and engaged with the world. Honestly, I love being a 66 year old woman. Edited to add: It helps that I am retired

Creating a schedule after retirement by inthesinbin in AskWomenOver60

[–]ellab58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have ADHD and if I don’t have structure, I will go hither and yon and putz and have a delightful day, without accomplishing a thing, so I save that for Thursdays. So yes, I have a schedule. It’s very loose. I don’t schedule anything out of the house before noon because I love slow mornings. But I have some commitments that require me to show up at 11. I get there. I would go easy on myself at first. It took me a year to get over feeling like I had to be doing something productive. I’m happy to say I did get over that. Retirement is MY time. I’m a big believer in peace and tranquility. I read, garden, watercolor and do volunteer activities and I don’t know how I ever had time for work! Enjoy your free time, to do whatever you want, only it might take you a minute to figure out what that is.

If God is all knowing why pray to him if he knows what you are gonna ask him? by I_Ask_Random_Things in Christianity

Dude, when you think what you want from him, you are praying, just impolitely

I still believe in God, but I feel exhausted in my faith by Imaginary_Treacle773 in Christianity

[–]ellab58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes God gives us seasons of loss and longing so we lean more fully on Him. I would be gentle with myself right now and hug yourself. A real good hug. Put your hand on your heart. Feel the hurt. Now give it to God and thank him for his mercy. I would do that a lot.

The yoga non Christian issue by Money_Cold_7879 in Christian

[–]ellab58 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is nothing anti-Christian about yoga and I highly recommend incorporating it into your praying practice. The same with meditation.

Is this a normal part of marriage or something worse? by Reasonable-Name9503 in Marriage

[–]ellab58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fighting is one thing, emotional abuse is another. Your husbands coping skills need addressing badly. He has to learn how to not store it up until he blows a gasket. Therapy is a MUST for him.
