Maybe She's Mental

I have reserved TONS of books, DVDs, CDs from the library over the last 10 years or so on various topics of health and well being.  I have engaged in just about every type of body movement class/recreation you could find in these parts to be fit.  I have signed up for countless newsletters from web sites that send out inspirational quotes, natural health news, and personal transformation theories.  I have joined groups talking about angels, drums, stones, and spirits.... but really it's very simple.... The best way to be happy and healthy is to love with the greatest amount of LOVE possible. Full Stop. LOVE YOU!

I have kids.  I love them. I love to plan events and take them to experience different people/places/activities.  When I'm there, I'm truly enjoying the time with them.  I even take my little boy along with us when we have Girl Scout events because... why not??  But then there's my alone time. OH.... now that is SUCH a gift!  I never used to get free time... not at home free time.  I was always doing something with the kids or if I was alone, it was because I had planned something with friends, but now... NOW I get to choose how I spend my alone time and I get to be at home!  Rewind a few years and I would have spent this organizing a kid's closet or scrubbing a bathroom.  Now I really don't care! :)  I did wash everyone's sheets and hung them all on the clothesline (for OPTIMAL fresh odors) and vaccuumed up the plaster that the wee one picked off the crack in the wall about 3 months ago on the wall going up the stairs. BUT I did not do any more cleaning! ;)

I moved into a very well established house in November (read OLD). ;)  One of the fun things (and there are MANY) about buying a well established house is that you get to discover what's present.  There was a nice flower garden in the back by the patio, but I really didn't know what was planted there on purpose and what weeds had overtaken the nice black soil... There were some really tall left-overs which I now know are Tiger Lillies and some cone flowers and day lilies.  I added a lavender plant and a few other perenials....oh and of course a fairy statue because I know that the fairies are with me when I'm working in my garden and I wanted them to be around the shamrock plants.. :)  Yes I know those are weeds, but they are weeds I keep because they are shamrocks. ;) Tiger Lillies.... Princess? :) Three big barrel planters also were inherited with the house.  Two of them are growing weeds and some new maple trees, but one of them is growing a new raspberry plant a

When I feel something coming up, I stop and bring up the blog... empty slate.. white openness. Right now is one of those times.  I was looking through the pictures from last night. I was visiting the horses.  I went there to assist some children/adults who don't have full mental or physical capabilities ride horses, but not many of the students attended so I ended up spending some time talking to the horses... giving them some love and also riding the BIG rambunctous half Clydesdale whom I so enjoy riding because she has a lot of 'get up and go'! :)  She always wants to run and man... that's what I love about riding.... running.... attached to a powerful and beautiful animal... trying your best to act as one... to communicate with arms, legs, words, and thoughts..... It's one of the most beautiful connections possible.  Just feeling the power of their hind legs beneath you.... oh gees... crying....  Sierra.... my sweet! Insert image so I can collect myse
