Inspired Action

I didn't know what my part would be. I didn't know when I would find out, but I think I now know...  The Pachamama Alliance

I signed up to be a facilitator of these Awakening the Dream Symposiums designed and supplied by The Pachamama Aliiance to educate people about the fog we're living in..... a fog of separateness, consumerism, and destruction.  I'm going through the presentation right now and had to stop multiple times for tear control and just general recovery time.  I can FEEL the meaning of this... it penetrates my heart and chills my skin.  I even felt the pain of the animals as they talk about how we're driving them to distinction and acting as if it's not a big deal.

Action... I have to do some reading/watching this weekend!  Then I will plan a way to share this with others.  I already have a willing audience in my Resilience Tribe.  They're very excited to hear about something they can do to change our course as a planet.  In the most brilliant words of the lyricist for the High School Musical - "We're all in this together."  And I mean ALL!

Plant a tree and hug a big one.  Good Lord where will this take me!!!!???? :)  Now I have the giggles!

Sunday Vinyasa

Having leisurely mornings is something that I am enjoying immensely as of late.  Today was no different.  I woke up did some correspondence and headed up to my painting project to dot some i's and cross some t's.     Of course I got a bit carried away because I couldn't let good paint go to waste and went into the Little One's closet to add some more to her mural... when I returned to my iPod dock, it said it was past the time to get out of the house for Sunday morning yoga!  DOH!  Plus it's January and it's really full in January.. full of people with great intentions... I'll just leave it at that.  :) I thought, this is the FIRST time I was able to go to this class on a Sunday (with my favorite teacher) and I am going to jet out of here and make it!  And I did... BUT I forgot my badge to get in - thankfully you get one 'forget' time and I know the people at the desk so they know I'm legit.  WHEW! I made it... I'm on the mat.  It'...

Re: The Title

So I mentioned in my first post that I would explain the title of this blog later and I guess it's time... Packers and Vikings are playing in the background and I would rather write.. although I did partake in some 'cowboy caviar' which is a salsa of sorts as part of my football party food put together for a football gathering that I decided not to attend... So "Maybe She's Mental" is a little something that came to me in the woods (of course) because of a certain happening in my life that caused unnamed people to think I needed psychiatric help.  If you change your behavior from what everyone expects of you, you probably need therapy and subsequent medication for a 'condition' that was brought on from stress or other traumatic event.  Can you get out of a psychiatrist's office WITHOUT medication?  I don't know and I don't intend to find out. I also tend to have random thoughts that could seem strange to others so I could see them think...

Three Strikes

Image
In an attempt to get some quiet time at night after the kids go to bed, I instituted a new program for my almost 4 year old yesterday - 'The Three Strikes and YOU'RE OUT' program.  It never fails to amaze me how a technique can work wonderfully for one child, maybe even the second child, but the third comes along and blows it all out of the water!  I never even had to get to this level with #1 and #2, the counting up to 5 usually did the trick! Last night I told her about the program and she got ALL THREE STRIKES in about 5 minutes!  Now what?  Now I have her removing the strikes she got... by being a good listener.  She will likely be back to full strike status in no time this evening when it comes time to go to bed again... I do love her non-conformity.... and she's so darn cute I really can't get mad at her... my little firecracker.
