“This is the striking clarity we are gifted in our 40s”

I’m 54 so I can tell you that is a fact.

The comment from the old man in the library sounds very “Twin Peaksy” and to add to that, when I clicked on the video to watch Sienna Miller, the ad that first came up featured an Owl as the main character in the commercial. Trust in all the signs! To quote one of the best lines from Twin Peaks, “the owls are not what they seem.”

The ascension. The age of Aquarius. Enlightened. Leveling up. Crazy? I’ve experienced my own version so I know it to be true. How else could you take us on this journey of unearthing the dark underbelly and give us a front row view of the spiritual war that’s waging?

Adding Olivia Wilde to my list of toxic women types I pray my son never takes up with. The others are Amber Heard, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Meghan Markle.

That cottage. Sigh.

It’s my opinion Michelle Branch’s cheating husband was most deserving of a wallop or two. By comparison, Amber Heard was an abuser of a very different caliber. I wish everyone wasn’t lumped together.

I really abhor Angie. She seems like someone you’d never want to entangle yourself with. A life lesson for Brad, who has obvious issues.

I listened to the audiobook of Jeanette McCurdy’s book last week. It was so good. What a brave woman and a survivor. I’ve struggled with an eating disorder and really commend her work. Side note - that slimy creator, Dan Schneider, once starred in an 80s sitcom, Head of the Class. The redhead co-star came into the hotel bar I was cocktailing in the 1990s. She invited me up to her room. I declined. She was stunning and I’ve always sort of regretted not saying yes. I’ve declined a few other claim to fames, another I mentioned here in another discussion.

P.S. I’m not sure this is the platform for it but I’m going to ask anyway -

What are you doing to support your adrenals? I recommend making homemade sole water (I use Celtic grey - loaded with minerals) adding a teaspoon or two to water along with a teaspoon of sodium ascorbate, and juice of fresh lemon (I prefer meyer). No raw vegetables, nourishing soups and stews, more natural sources of vitamin C, potassium (cream of tartar or coconut water - look up adrenal cocktail), rest. Humming helps support the vagal nerve. Maybe go in for a vitamin IV.

Be well, Jessica.

Agree with your points here. I also listened to Jeanette's audiobook (not knowing who she was before) and really enjoyed it! I found she told her story with the same air of truth that we all love here.

Bad Sandy's avatar

I didn’t know who she was either! I completely agree. It was refreshing.

Larisa,

I love how Jessica writes and as I read your comments, I thought, “here’s another person who really communicates well.” Agree with every point you made.

Yes to taking care of adrenals! They will eventually steal from the thyroid so taking care of those is a good idea too ❤️

I want to take a vacation to Sienna’s cottage. I wonder if she rents it out? 😉 I wouldn’t if I were her. It looks heavenly.

Thank you, Jessica, for taking such care to bring us the truth of what’s going on around us. Please don’t stop.

Bad Sandy's avatar

Thank you, Susan! That’s a meaningful compliment. 💞

Sienna’s cottage is my new vision of the life I want. I imagine it close to the seaside. Absolutely blissful!

I live for the end of month musings, always so well written. As is all of your work! Hoping things calm down enough for you to catch some fresh air!

Regarding Olivia Wilde and Shia LaBeouf, not sure why she had to say she fired him. If she knew it wasn’t true, why even say it? Now he has proof that he quit and she lied about it. I didn’t think much of her character before and now I think even less.

Olivia has gotten a pass her whole life for bad behavior because she is pretty. But the pass is near its expiry date.

Linda Merson's avatar

Ah, the ol’ expiry date! Yeah she seems like a manipulative female dog. Never liked her starting with House.

You know who is enjoying this Olivia Wilde drama? Her first husband Tao Ruspoli, whom Olivia divorced when she started becoming famous so she could date celebrities -- and then publicly said her "vagina dried up" in that marriage. Tao, to his remarkable credit, did not publicly respond and has never attacked Olivia. He's a classy guy, but I'm sure Ms. Wilde's embarrassing downfall brings a karmic smile to his face.

AJ's avatar

Her first husband was such a class act. I remember they did a spread and interview together for a magazine when they first got married.he seemed very mature and I always wondered if they’d last.

Your tenacity in standing up / your ground to the turd's camp is something to be admired Jessica. Continue being you. May you, your family / friends stay safe x

Met Carney at a small birthday party for a friend in Nashville when Michelle was pregnant with their first child. He is an ass. Just a consistent, part of his personality, ass. He had such an elevated sense of himself- even there among other *more* famous people, and he’s just so unattractive. Like cartoonishly so. And he stole my cigarettes.

I know nothing about him outside of just reading a few black Keys articles back in the day, and though I love them (mostly for Dan Aurbach's genius), Pat has always given off that vibe all the way back to 2008. I'm not for violence of any kind, but I'm with Michelle on this one

Praying for you & your family that these coming months you will experience more peace & solitude

Another wonderful read. I saved this to drink in with my morning coffee ☕️ I’d like to think that the threats you’ve been receiving are empty and even if they are just that, I think it is absolutely disgusting for a Hollywood PR team to act like mobsters….threatening your children is a new low. AH is doomed. Her PR team is most likely waiting…hoping for the dust to settle with time but I don’t think that will ever eventuate. Nobody can forget what she did, all the lies she’s told, the way she’s treated the people around her and the way her PR team has handled her downfall. She will never be accepted back into Hollywood, surely no one would be stupid enough?

Don't underestimate people's lack of backbone. It takes effort to stick to the principles taken on years ago and in my experience, when it wasn't their own fight ( or triggerin their own fight) it's easier to believe someone changed over time and that everybody's deserves a second chance.

They do actually when there's real effort involved, but second chances are very often hidden zillionth chances and time doesn't magically change people, it takes hard work and self reflection.

Ps. Good morning, reading the comments is great to wake up to!

Reading you is a breathe of fresh air. Thank you for your time in developing this intelligent read.

Jess's avatar

Thank you, as always, fellow rad Scorpio, for your hard work and musings. I love reading everything you share. And I think you’re way more organized (at least story-wise) than you give yourself credit for. The way you weave a story is mesmerizing. 😍

Obsessed with Sienna Miller’s home. Thank you for sharing!

Is Sienna Miller about to enter the Cara Delevigne/Sex Party/Yacht Girl chat?

Melissa Newman's avatar

I so enjoy the way you write. Great read as always 😀✌🏼

You have to go down the Tik Tok conspiracy rabbit hole that Harry Styles went bald a few years ago and now wears a hair piece 🤣 I can’t stop thinking about it every time I read about the DWD drama 💀

Nina's avatar

I laughed at this for a straight 5min because if that is true…omg! 😂
