Thoughts on life, love, and everything in between
Thoughts on life, love, and everything in between
I believe in continuous self-improvement and personal growth. Here, I share my insights and experiences on topics such as mindfulness, productivity, and motivation.
Everything Lady Pj Blog covers topics related to health, healing, including tips and tricks, tutorials, and my personal thought pieces written by me, Lady Pj .
Hello! I’m Philessa Nicole Hooks, but you might know me better as Lady Pj, a name I embraced back in 1995. I’ve written songs and kept a blog, but my journey hasn’t been easy. Fibromyalgia and PTSD have often left me feeling incapacitated.
My story is one of resilience. At just five years old, I faced molestation by a family member. Later, I was assaulted on prom night by a former boyfriend and again during my military service. These traumatic experiences have deeply affected me, leading to trust issues and social anxiety, making me quite reclusive.
But I want you to know that you’re not alone in your struggles. I understand your pain and invite you to join me on a journey of love and healing. Healing is a complex and profound process that goes beyond the physical. It involves mending the body, mind, and spirit.
Healing others is a remarkable gift, rooted in various practices and beliefs. In medicine, healthcare professionals use their expertise and tools to promote physical healing through advanced treatments, surgeries, and therapies. But healing isn’t confined to medical interventions. The caring presence of family, friends, and caregivers, with their compassion and empathy, plays a crucial role in the healing process, offering comfort in times of distress.
Additionally, many cultures and traditions embrace alternative healing methods. Techniques like Reiki, acupuncture, and energy healing are based on the belief that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself, focusing on balancing and harmonizing the body’s energies. Healing also encompasses psychological and spiritual dimensions, making it a truly holistic journey.
Let’s walk this path together, finding strength in our shared experiences and embracing the power of healing in all its forms.
Welcome back to my blog, www.Everythingladypjblog.com where I share my thoughts and insights on various topics that interest me. In this post, I want to give you a preview of what you can expect from me this year.

- Slavery: I will examine the history and effects of this evil institution, and how it still impacts us today. I will also explore the biblical view of slavery and freedom, and how we can fight against injustice and oppression.
- God: I will talk about who God is, what he has done for us, and what he expects from us. I will also share my personal relationship with him, and how he has changed my life.
- Tips and tricks: I will show you some surprising ways to do things differently, whether it is in your home, your work, or your hobbies. You will be amazed by how simple changes can make a big difference.

Hello! I’m Philessa Nicole Hooks, but you might know me better as Lady Pj, and which I am happy to announce is officially trademarked, a name I embraced back on May 11, 2005.
I have composed poems and lyrics, contributed to songwriting, created and managed blogs, developed websites without prior experience, and produced my own TikToks. My journey has been challenging; fibromyalgia and PTSD have frequently made me feel incapacitated.
My story is one of resilience. At just five years old, I faced molestation by a family member. Later, I was assaulted on prom night by a former boyfriend and again during my military service. These traumatic experiences have deeply affected me, leading to trust issues and social anxiety, making me quite reclusive.

Let’s walk this path together, finding strength in our shared experiences and embracing the power of healing in all its forms.
I live in Alabama, and I was raised in Bay Minette, Al. I embody the essence of a true country girl. I've hunted, I've fished, I've farmed, rode gocart and dirt bikes on country roads, and I've roade horse even did barreling riding in competitions for a bit. But I have always had the hardest time expressing waht I needed because I've always been able to get it myself.
Expressing myself isn't always straightforward.
My passion lies in creativity, be it crafting a blog post, composing lyrics or poetry, painting on a canvas, or creating music for a song. Blogging captivates me because it's a realm with boundless possibilities, allowing me to explore all these avenues and more. Having dedicated many years to this field, I faced a setback due to illness that halted my pursuits. But now, with the advent of AI, the possibilities are limitless.
I started blogging when blogging wasn’t cool. I just love creating and I love information; in addition, I love helping people. Blogging allows me to do all three things and to share my knowledge and experience with others who are interested in blogging. I believe that by sharing our knowledge, we can all grow and learn together.
I’m a disabled veteran and I can’t do a lot of the things that I use to do. I have anxiety real bad so I can’t deal with loud noise, too many people, too much activity (it puts me to sleep), or bright lights. I suffer from fibromyalgia, hyperinsomnia, and PTSD. So I do what I can.
Reiki is a fascinating form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The term “Reiki” combines two Japanese words: “rei,” meaning universal or higher power, and “ki,” meaning life force energy. Together, they signify "spiritually guided life force energy"1.
In a typical Reiki session, a practitioner gently places their hands on or just above the client’s body, aiming to guide energy throughout the body to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support the body’s natural healing processes21. The idea is that energy can become stagnant in the body due to physical injury or emotional pain, and Reiki helps to clear these blockages, allowing energy to flow freely again2.
Reiki sessions are usually conducted in a peaceful, private setting where the client remains fully clothed and either sits comfortably or lies down. The practitioner moves their hands over specific areas of the body, holding each position for a few minutes until they sense the energy has balanced2. Some practitioners also incorporate techniques like centering, clearing, and beaming to enhance the healing process2.
Energy healing, in general, encompasses a variety of practices beyond Reiki. Techniques like acupuncture and acupressure also focus on balancing the body’s energy flow. These methods are based on the belief that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself when its energies are properly aligned2.
Many people who receive Reiki report feeling a sense of deep relaxation, reduced pain, and improved overall well-being1. While scientific evidence on the effectiveness of Reiki is still limited, its growing popularity suggests that many find it beneficial as a complementary therapy21.

In the quiet of twilight, when shadows stretch across the land,
I see the world through a sepia lens, softened and worn.
The sun, a golden coin, dips below the horizon, casting long fingers of light that grasp at the edges of reality.
The river, a silver serpent; winds lazily through the valley, its scales shimmering with secrets whispered by the wind. It sometimes howls like a wolf; destructive passion unleashed without clear provocation.
Trees stand like ancient sentinels, their bark etched with tales of storms and seasons long gone, their leaves a mosaic of greens, oranges, yellows, and sometimes reds.
The moon, a pale pearl, hangs low in the indigo sky, its craters like pockmarks on a weathered face. Stars emerge, pinpricks of distant fire, each one a promise of something beyond our reach.
And there, in the distance, a lone figure walks the shore, their footsteps leaving imprints in the damp sand. They carry memories like burdens, their eyes fixed
on the horizon, where sea and sky merge into one.
This is the world as I see it: a canvas of muted hues, a symphony of silence, a dance of fleeting moments. No rhyme, no rhythm—just life unfolding, a masterpiece painted in whispers and sighs.
In a cave, atop a mountain's crest,
A lion dwelled, mighty and blessed,
His roar resounded, a thunderous might,
Striking fear in the darkness of night.
Ten miles away, his voice reached,
Evoking terror, all creatures beseeched,
But fate took a turn, a twist unforeseen,
As the lion stepped out, his roar turned
serene.
No sound emerged, no tremor of fear,
A silence engulfed, the lion shed a tear,
Puzzled and lost, he questioned his worth,
For who would fear him, devoid of his roar's
birth?
Days turned to weeks, his spirit grew weak,
Depression consumed him, his outlook bleak,
No longer himself, he roamed with despair,
His mighty presence now tattered and bare.
But deep in his soul, a flicker of light,
A glimmer of hope, a beacon so bright,
For true strength, it lies in the heart,
Not just in the roars that tear worlds apart.
He realized his worth, beyond the sound,
In his courage, his presence, a king unbound,
He roamed the mountains with newfound grace,
Embracing his essence, fear he did erase.
No longer seeking fear, but spreading love,
He soared high, like an eagle above,
His gentle gaze, a mesmerizing sight,
Calming the fearful, bringing them light.
He taught the world, through silence and strife,
That true strength comes from within, in life,
For fear may be fleeting, a temporary plight,
But the courage to overcome, shines ever so Bright.
And so, the lion conquered his fear,
His voice may be gone, but his spirit clear,
He roamed the mountains, his heart set free,
A symbol of triumph, for all to see.
In his journey, he showed the world his might,
That the power to overcome, is a beacon of
Light, for in the face of fear, we rise above,
Embracing our essence, with unwavering love.
In the tempest of my soul, raindrops fall like tears, each one a whispered secret. I stand, blurred and obscured, a fragile figure seeking solace. Yet beneath the storm, a lion stirs within, its mane defiant against the wind. At times, I am distraught; then there are moments when I feel like a Lion. Yet, still a fragile subject lost in obscurity fighting with self; the lion waits on the other side.
I Am A Lion!

My hurt I carry
my pain and mistrust
Was a siren of doubt
Heard through a smiling face
Filled with doubt and
Drowning in an emotional sink
Hole that left me in
Pieces that everyone
Partook of throughout
The years as my fears
Grew and I became
This Reclusive, hermit you see
I Display my strength
but I’m sinking in
This place and I can’t
Move because my mistrust
And fear has me dry, drowning
Emotionally I seek refuge
And solace in the
Comfort of my home
Away from mistrust
Away from doubt
Away from the things
That I fear the most
Stuck in an emotional
Undercurrent of life
Traveling can be expensive, but with careful planning and budgeting, you can make the most of your trip without breaking the bank. In this post, I'll share my tips for budgeting for your next big adventure.
Detailed Tip: Break down your budget into categories such as transportation, accommodation, food, activities, and miscellaneous expenses. Use a spreadsheet or a budgeting app to keep track of each category. This will help you see where your money is going and make adjustments if needed.
Detailed Tip: Look for blogs, forums, and travel guides specific to your destination. These resources often provide insider tips on how to save money and avoid tourist traps. Additionally, consider reaching out to locals or travelers who have recently visited the area for firsthand advice.
Detailed Tip: Make a list of must-do activities and experiences. Rank them in order of importance and allocate your budget accordingly. This way, you ensure that you don’t miss out on what matters most to you.
Detailed Tip: Automate your savings by setting up a direct deposit into your travel fund. This way, you won’t be tempted to spend the money elsewhere. Also, consider cutting back on non-essential expenses in your daily life to boost your savings.
Detailed Tip: Explore different budgeting apps to find one that suits your needs. Some apps allow you to set spending limits, track expenses in real-time, and even convert currencies if you’re traveling internationally.
Detailed Tip: Use fare comparison websites and set up price alerts for flights and accommodations. This will notify you when prices drop. Additionally, consider using credit card points or travel rewards programs to save on flights and hotels.
Detailed Tip: If your schedule allows, consider traveling during shoulder seasons (the period between peak and off-peak seasons). You’ll often find lower prices and fewer crowds. Also, be open to alternative airports or routes that might be cheaper.
Detailed Tip: Research local grocery stores and markets where you can buy fresh, affordable ingredients. If your accommodation has a kitchen, cooking some of your meals can save a significant amount of money. Also, look for street food and local eateries, which are often cheaper and offer authentic experiences.
Detailed Tip: Keep all your receipts and log your expenses daily. This habit will help you stay on top of your budget and make adjustments if necessary. Some budgeting apps also allow you to scan receipts for easy tracking.
Detailed Tip: Keep your emergency fund in a separate account or in cash that you don’t touch unless absolutely necessary. This fund should cover unexpected expenses like medical emergencies, lost luggage, or last-minute changes in plans.
By incorporating these detailed tips into your travel planning, you’ll be well-prepared to manage your finances and enjoy a stress-free trip. Happy travels!
