Happy Halloween everyone!!!!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.  I love anything that has something to do with witches, goblins and ghosts.  And then to add the Day of the Dead on November 1st and 2nd….so much fun!!!!!  Anything that uses skeletons for decorations…count me in.

My fella and I love skeletons so much that a few years ago we bought a Stanley Mouse painting of a skeleton draped in roses. (more…)

Hi you fabulous readers you!!!!

What a difference a day makes!  I am feeling way better this morning.  I feel back to my perky old self~ with just a smidge of an edge!

So what has changed my state of being?  Anything happen between yesterday and today?

Well, not really…but, I had a dream …

I was visited last night by a bunch of dead people…a little Halloween humor I suppose~  Anyway, the group of dead folks visit me once in a while when I am in a particularly stressed out place in my life.  Last night I was hangin’ out in a dreamscape, hangin’ out by a big ol’ tree (I think it was an oak tree…though the bark was very comfy to lean against…you know how dreams go). (more…)

I am happy to share that even though we might be facing financial disaster, I have been meeting some very very very kind people along this journey.  Yesterday, I called the hospital billing folks to tell them that our insurance has “declined” to pay for the surgery that they had “pre approved” back in April.  Not only had they declined to pay, they have decided to drop me as a customer.  Well, they beat me to the punch.

I told my fella: “No way!  They can’t break up with me first!  I was going to break up with them first!!!!”

I must admit that I have never had an insurance company break up with me…so, my ego is a wee bit injured.

So, back to the story at hand.  I called the billing babe and she was so kind to me.  I told her what was going on.  She sympathized with our story (more…)

Hi everyone~

I know that it has been awhile since I have posted anything here.  I have been writing a variety of posts…and then deleting them.  The delete button is my new favorite key.  I just can’t seem to get enough of it.  Last week, I spent two hours writing about how god created the pyramid scheme…and then felt like the two posts were way too edgy…so I deleted them.  The week before that, it was a tirade on how fucked up and creepy Sarah Palin is, how happy I am for SNL….and then deleted those posts too.  I decided they were way to opiniated.  Then there were the posts discussing this economic situation this country is in….and those posts just seemed cynical.  So…I deleted them.

I try to write about topics that explore this thing called “being alive”…using some humor and lots of irreverence.  And because I have such a variety of folks reading this blog, I try to write from an open minded perspective…in a way that supports a variety of world views.  Hence….my new favorite key…the DELETE button.

I am sorry to say that right now… (more…)

Hey there~

My son walked into the living room and asked:

“Hey mom, whaddya doin?”

“Watchin’ McCain spin lies!” said me.

“Well mom,” said son, “You can turn that frown upside down!”

Then he danced a little jig and off he went.

After our cute little exchange, (more…)

Hi there! I hope you are getting a taste of some of this gorgeous fall weather~

I recently went shopping with a friend of mine. We were both looking for some shirts to wear for the fall season. She is a rather buxom babe and I….am not! So we went into a store to check out what they had. Many of the shirts had “one size fits all” tags. So we picked a few and went to try them on. None of them worked…they all looked crappy on both of us. On me, they were too boxy. On her…too tight. We didn’t find a shirt that fit for either of us in that store. We both needed different sizes and cuts. She is petite and buxom…I am tall, with very few curves. Plus, she loves earth tones and I am more of a color lover babe.

One size DID NOT fit all! And even when the shirts sorta fit…the color was off…of the shirt was too long…or too short…

This one size fits all mentality shows up in many of the healing professions.

I recently had a conversation with a woman who suffers from a very debilitating chronic illness. She has been ill for many years, trying a variety of healing modalities as well as trying different mainstream treatments with only minimal relief. A friend of hers had some good results with an energy worker…so she made an appointment. Off she went. (more…)
