The (literally) millions of stories like this one break my heart. Review this brilliant woman’s LinkedIn account. . .behold the thriving career she once had. . .

It tore my heart out when my PR business partner went legally blind after her . . . (rhymes with “rooster”). It created a blood clot behind her eyes. Her eye doc — a big fan & advocate of said “rooster”— directly attributed her blindness to said “rooster.”

I tried 𝘴𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥 to play Paul Revere to those I loved, but all my warnings fell on deaf ears. 

That is all.

Dear employers still mandating Covid vaccines, please think again… It’s been 824 days since my life as I knew it vanished, after just a few drops of that clear liquid was injected into my arm. “Safe and effective”, they said. 

Within hours I could barely stand up. 
I struggled to breathe. 
My chest pain was so sharp I thought I was having a heart attack.
I was dizzy, I couldn’t see clearly.  
My heart rate jumped up to 160bpm with violent palpitations. 
I was terrified I was going to die. 
And that was just the beginning. 

The hospital doctors didn’t know what was happening to us vax injured and sent us home. They were more worried about Covid itself. They were panicking, the whole world was. I cried myself to sleep most nights like a baby, the pain was unbearable. 

After numerous ambulance rides and hospital visits, I was finally told that I had Pericarditis from the vaccine (inflammation of the outside lining of my heart). I was also later diagnosed with Myocarditis (inflammation inside of my heart). I was hospitalised and put on strong medications, but they didn’t do much to help. 

The vaccine’s spike protein has a mind of its own. It kept retriggering the inflammation. I had developed an autoimmune inflammatory response. It’s like my entire body was under constant attack from an unknown enemy that no one knew how to go to war with. 

I went from cardiologist to cardiologist, had so many X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs & CT scans, I probably glow in the dark from all the radiation!

“We don’t know how to fix you.”

“What do you mean?” I asked. 
Well no one right now anywhere in the world understands how and why the vaccine injuries aren’t resolving. It could be 5-10 years before we have a solution. 

So what am I supposed to do? 

“See a psychologist, learn to accept this is your new normal and get on with your life”.

Get on with my life? How can I do that when I live with so much pain, shortness of breath and fatigue that I am mostly housebound?

How can I get on with life;
When I need daily medication to keep my heart rate at a safe level?
When it feels like I’m running a marathon just walking?
When I struggle to take a shower without almost passing out?
When I can’t work, go out with friends or socialise because my body is so fatigued?
When doing a load of laundry lands me in bed for 2 days to recover?
When I can’t sleep because it feels like my chest is being crushed by a brick wall?

I refuse to give up & I am fighting my injury with different trial drugs and therapies, but my future and other injured workers futures are scary and unknown. 
 
I can’t earn an income.  
I had to sell my home because I couldn’t pay the mortgage. 
Thank God for my family or I’d be homeless.  

I do the daily bare necessities to keep alive and try to reserve enough mental, physical and emotional energy to have the strength to fight another day.

I will absolutely ‘conquer this mountain’, but in the mean time…

Dear employers still mandating, please think again.

#creativity #Easter2024

🎉 𝗦𝗼 … 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝟲𝟬. 

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄’𝙫𝙚 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙎𝙤 𝙁𝙖𝙧:

1. Given enough caffeine and botox, I can conquer the world.

2. No one can break your heart harder than your own family (but the friends who are your chosen family will just as quickly mend it.)

3. No matter what any demographer says, I will forever identify 1964 as Gen-X. I find Boomer culture off brand for me.

4. Ain’t no music like ‘80s music. 

5. I regret that I haven’t spent more time creating for myself — painting, writing, playing piano, racquet sports, or mastering Euchre/Bridge/Pinochle and swing dancing.

6. Having your only kid at 40 keeps you young.

7. Having your only kid at 40 plants deep, vertical “eleven” lines between your furled brows (or, as I call them, my “WTF, Jack?!?” wrinkles). You guessed it — Jack is the name of my fertilized egg. Start botoxing before 40.

8. You’re never too old for pranks and practical jokes. In our 40s, my friends and I formed S.H.I.T. Club (Shenanigans, Hijinks, Immaturity and Tomfoolery). Caller I.D. made a serious dent in our epic prank phone call wars.

9. As you enter this final third of your earthbound timeline, time really does feel like it passes faster. That’s no myth. Identify the draining energy vampires in your life and cut them off asap. Your health depends on it.

10. The secret to staying young? 
📌Stay curious. Stay interested.
📌Resist the inclination to be jaded and distrustful. 
📌Be open-hearted, no matter how much you’ve been hurt. Try new things. Make new and younger friends to gain new perspectives. 
📌Be open-minded and receptive to new information, even if it defies your long-held beliefs. In the last 10 years, I’ve reversed course on many lifelong philosophies.
📌When you suffer a massive loss, always remember, it makes room in your life for what — or who — is meant to fill that space.

Those are my words of wisdom at 60 years and three days old. May the odds be forever in your favor.

I don’t mean this in some self-important, arrogant way, like, “My LinkedIn posts are SO special, SO top-shelf, SO elite.” 

I mean it like . . . you’re never quite sure if your posts ever — 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘵 𝘑𝘪𝘮 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘯 — “break on through to the other side.”

I received this DM first thing this morning and I appreciated it so much. Even when your engagement metrics are sub-optimal, keep posting. 

Someone out there in LinkedIn Land is 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 you. 

Someone out there 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙙 your help. 

And helping people for FREE means more to me than making $30,000 in 3 days with some bollocks LinkedIn Leapfrog hack. When you sign up for my FREE “𝑫𝑬𝑬-𝑩𝑹𝑰𝑬𝑭 𝑵𝒆𝒘𝒔𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓” & you’ll see exactly what I mean. (Link in “Comments” section below.)

🍸🍾 P.S. Consider DM’ing someone whose posts resonate with you. It matters to us creators. Some creators whose posts I look forward to seeing in my feed include Louise Harnby, Olivia Rytwinski, Mirela Mohan, Tricia Ruiter, 
Stephanie Stuckey, Linda Figg , Rod Jones Artist-Writer, Heather Carter, Andy Crestodina, Richard van der Blom, Dave Harland, Debbie Hampton, Sara Rosinsky, Sara Richmond, Scott Fulton, Dave Chappelle, George Tannenbaum, Peter G Gietki, Laura DiBenedetto, Michael Marsh, Michael Davis, Isabel Sterne 🟡, and I apologize for forgetting some names on the spot, but the 𝙌𝙪𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝙒𝙞𝙥𝙚𝙨 in Michigan (whose real name my ADHD brain can’t recall) is a hilarious, self-deprecating riot. If she lived near me, we’d for sure be partners in crime.

I spent an entire hour — no exaggeration — TRYING to sync up my Garmin Vivo HR watch to my iPhone. To no avail. Which is why I’ve avoided using it for the past year. 

The #ADHD side of me with the 𝙬𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙧-𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣 tolerance for tedious tasks and unnecessarily difficult design is ready to smash both with a hammer. No, seriously. I really am.

I follow someone who never shares helpful information and incessantly bombards me with promotions for their services. The copy is entertaining, but it never teaches me anything new or useful beyond what they are now charging for their services. Every. Bloody Post. Blatant sales pitches. 

And that's a bloody shame. Because this writer is insanely talented and funny AF. I'd buy their books and pay for their Substack if they had one.

This writer recently made a public cry for help. They were on the struggle bus. Their sales were way down. Whoever this writer chose to coach them --from the cornucopia of all-too-eager branding "gurus" who filled the "comments" section after that public cry for help -- is doing them a massive personal branding disservice. Escalating these sales pitch posts has me grabbing for the unfollow button. 

At one point, I felt so sorry for this writer, I promoted them heavily and tagged them in the post. Zero response. I've commented numerous times on their posts. Zero response to my comments. And on the day they pleaded for help, I shared with them some editorial contacts to help them gain paid writing work. They seemed to appreciate it in the moment, but once again, I'm invisible to them when I comment on their posts. 

I don't need to ask Redditors 𝗔𝗜𝗧𝗔, because no, no I am not. I've done all I can. I'm OUT. When someone shows you who they are, 𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚 them.
