What Moves You

I have heard it told from great visionaries.... or great big-hearted people who do amazing things to bring love and understanding to the world.... that when something affects you to the core, you should pay attention.  Your soul is telling you something.  The divine is in on it as well.  You are being led.

I think this is the third time I've been moved in the last couple of weeks.  The first was a young girl who built a school for orphans (and adopted 30 of them herself!) in Nepal.  I wanted to do the 5 month internship and was trying to figure out ways that I could work a leave of absence from work and find caretakers for my kids during that time.

Next came the Pachamama Alliance which I wrote about in my last post.  I DID sign up to be a facilitator of the Symposium where people come to be awakened to our connected nature on earth and how we need to start to live differently... even if we aren't in the Amazon rain forest.

Today though... I just broke down sobbing from one picture.  It was a picture of a tribal chief crying when he heard the news that a hydroelectric power plant was going to be built on the river that provides life for his people and many other tribes in Brazil.  http://amazonwatch.org/

What can I do!?  I'm going to bed early... rest... rest it is.  Maybe I'll be led in my dreams.

What Does Your Fun Look Like?

I was listening to an interview of Allison Armstrong yesterday.. she's a woman who's studied men for 20 years and how women can better relate to them.  She had an interesting topic:  "What does your fun look like?"  And she talked about it by illustrating how different 'types' respond to this scenario: A friend comes to you and tells you 'I'm learning Mandarin Chinese.' What's your response to this?  Mine was 'COOL'! :)  Which I later came to know was the response of an 'Enjoyer'. :)  Her other types were 'Builder', 'Sharer', 'Expresser', and 'Growers and Knowers'. A Builder would respond with something like 'Why would you be learning this?  When will you use it?'  An Enjoyer (me) would respond like 'Sounds like fun!'.  A Sharer would respond with something like 'With whom are you doing that?'.  An Expresser might respond: "What do you want to say in Mandarin?&qu

What do I want to BE? What do I want to DO?

 AH HA I just remembered you today - lovely blogita.   It seems I missed 2021 in my blog posts, but here we are in 2022 - so nice and even.  This year is going to have at least one post.  So here goes: Second day post-termination thoughts:  I have so much time!  I could start a project.  I could read The Brothers Karamazov as I have been meaning to do.  I could clean (you can always clean), but that may go against my newer found philosophy of 'It's Better Than it Was'.... which is doing some to mitigate the mess, but not worrying about perfection. I had an interview yesterday.  That was weird.... just the getting up and getting dressed and leaving the house for a work appointment.  I had fun.  I like people.  I got lost.  I talked to the ceiling/heaven.  I laughed.  I used a parable in my answer.  Gees... where did that come from?  Heaven maybe? :) Tis time to shower.... I'm a bit oiled up after a 90 min massage that cost $189.  That's bloated.  I felt like the ther

Cycle of Downturns - a Poem

I'm noticing for you because I can feel it. which is kind of the point, You can't. This is where I retreat. I am not here to do your work. What is the loving response? Only you know what's there to transform. This is cycle number three. No change has disrupted the relapse. You are not present. You have receded into hiding. Here I am telling you what you need to do. It feels icky and uneven. Perspectives can be so far apart. I know I can't remain. <3 EE
