Ahoy to you all! What a strange weekend it has been for this girl, I thought, hmmm I wonder what sort of post is in the makings a few times as I felt tumbled about and tossed around. It has been one of those wierd weekends and I am I must say a bit memorized, terrorized and completely shocked as I sit here hands on the keys as the only thing holding me to the house.
Friday began with the idea of doing a complete house cleaning, I mean everything including the junk drawers that have not been touched for eleven years, not since we moved in! The screens of the windows my gosh had so much dust on them, no air could penetrate any longer. I am not an air conditioned girl, I am a fan in the window, fresh air type of gal here! So much for fresh air.
Some how my hubby and I began talking about an old fling, or almost fling he had a few years back. I felt so together, such a big girl who could talk about it without even getting upset or any of that nonsense of making it about me type of shit everyone does. No I was going to be a Big girl all grown up and above that petty crap! Ha Ha Snark…for a little while I really was! honest!
Maybe it was all the dust mites, or tidying up of things…somehow I got the notion in my head that perhaps I ought to just get a divorce and let this guy decide what the heck he wants in life. How unfair is it anyway, for me to spend my life with a guy wants to find women who are easy to talk to, at least thats what he says about them, they are easy to talk to….gee I am pretty easy to talk to most of the time but I guess I am just not THAT easy…: -)
Anyway, I thought, I ought to have an opportunity to feel what it feels like to have a guy swooning over me because he thinks I am easy to talk to, before I die, right!?! You betcha, I have raised my kids, I have done the wife thing, and now, what the heck, perhaps I ought to just take that BIG huge risk and see what life has for me, right?!
Well, I took a deep breath and said, maybe we should get a divorce, so you can feel free to find the love of your life and I can be free to be the love of someones life. Silence wrapped us up like cocoons for what seemed like hours… this must be that part where he thinks I am just not that easy to talk to…
I thought he was going to take it hard….but I was completely shocked as he said, well what did I mean by a friendly divorce, how would I like to divide things up, and I all of a sudden felt like puking and shitting my pants!
If I were a drinker, I would be drunk tonight, I would have been drunk this afternoon. Hmmm, the panic I felt earlier was beyond anything I felt lately! I was gasping for air, and trying to find my footing, my balance, my ego, where in the heck did my ego disappear to? There were bits of thought, not even words uttered in my head…just noises… as I continued to sort junk, and wash things.
Tonight, I am doing strangely well, as I toss around ideas about what might come next. Creepy as it is, I am not afraid right now, I am not angry, or happy, or much of anything. I don’t even feel numb, just utterly surprised. Maybe this is the kick in the pants I need to take a risk in life, to feel alive, and on the edge of life…and take an adventure just to see what unfolds in front of me next…
Ahhhh the life and times of a no bullshit life coach as she journeys through the universe looking for those who think she is easy to talk to:-)

With all the focus on health care reform lately, I have had some brain wave activity that I think is definitely worthy of more thought.

For instance, we are now hearing about a new model for care that we think would be great for our doctors to take up.  Wellness care, or preventative care.  It sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?  But lets look a little deeper at this idea that seems to be taking up a lot of space in time. 

We are asking a group of people we call doctors to begin teaching people how to prevent illness, yet this group of people are licensed and trained in treating illness.  They have not had any training to look below the illness, to find out what is causing it, and then to know, or have knowledge in restoring health.  They are people who have been trained in giving out drugs that treat symptoms.

What an average individual doctor knows about wellness is what any average person knows about wellness. 

Yet we are attempting to force our minds into believing that they hold a license and education that somehow we will be wise to visit them regularly to learn more about illness prevention and wellness. 

All we need to do to find evidence in support of the ignorance within the medical communities is a visit to any number of hospital cafeterias and see what they serve patients who are attempting to get health in the hospital.  Look around and see the nursing staff  and doctors in the lines with their food trays and those who are sitting around the tables eating foods that are over processed, over cooked, with all kinds of additives, and ingredients that do not support health. 

If we wish health, we would be wise to look outside the establishment, to those who have been inspired not by earning a huge income, but from the simple curiosity and love of health.  Most of whom fall into categories of alternative medicines, wellness trainers, life coaches, naturopathic physicians, etc… When we wish health, we must seek out those who have the knowledge and desire for themselves to be healthy, fully alive and engaged in life!

Are we all not sickened by this B.S.

Really- what is the deal here anyway.  Just when I thought we might actually have some legislation that was going to allow the citizens of the united states of America to actually get health care when they needed it, we hear everything on how we, the united states of America are actually going to allow our government to make certain that the insurance companies of America stay in business.

Yes folks, this is certainly some more of the same B.S.

Our government making certain that it supports BIG business, and who gives a shit about the citizens, the hard working folks, the normal people in this country. 

I say it is time for the citizens to speak up, to be heard to stand together, to work together and over throw this government who is no longer working for the people, but in fact working to enslave us all to support the BIG businesses of this country. 

Are you with me?  Are you thinking the same thing I am thinking?  Is anyone out there that believes it is time to make some substantial change to our government?  Are you ready to stand and say no more?  Do you have the energy? Do you have the inspiration?  Or will you sit back in fear, will you sit back and wait?  And what on Earth are you waiting for?  Someone else to do it?  No one else is going to stand up, because they are just as afraid as the rest of us, we need to stand together.  We are strong together!  We are the people of the great united states of America and we are the change we have been waiting for.  We are the ones who can stand, but only together will we ever change anything and make a difference is if we choose to stand together!

Let me know, let me hear your voices!

Rise up people and be heard today!

I was thinking yesterday how obserd things appear in this world.

The obnoxious ignorance that a person with common sense might laugh at.  Might cry at when realized the maddness, the insanity!

Why are we willing to pretend such stupity, such ignorance?  Pretend it isn’t really happening.  Perhaps it is laziness.  That is what I hear when I pose questions such as why.  Why are we willing to go along with processed, toxic foods, why are we willing to go along with ads on the TV from pharmecutical companies pushing their drugs in our living rooms?  Why are we willing to pay for and send our kids off to schools that shut down their creativity, and suggest they need to be drugged to participate in the classrooms?  Why are we willing to allow the insurance companies to be a third party and make certain we can not recieve the type of medical we wish?  Why are we willing to continue to pay taxes, while watching our neighbors and friends go homeless- so the government can pay off BIG companies who can’t handle their own finances?  Why are we willing to send our money off to the government so they can take a share and then trickly teeny tiny amounts back into our communities? Why are we willing to sit back and not jump in to support a mother protesting the war, protesting the sending our young adults over to Iraq?  Why are we willing to play along in a game that is set up for only a few to come out on top, and the majority to loose?  Why are we so willing to accept the mental health field as a legitamite entity, when their diagnosis comes from a book that was written specifically to sell pharmecutically made drugs?  Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Are we really this lazy?

Perhaps I will write about my own bullshit today!
I have found myself talking others inventory, judging them on how they judge others, skeptical and really not very happy with my bullshit.
It is true, that we are all connected, and when I judge you I am judging myself, when I hurt you I hurt myself. When I choose to not see God in you I am not seeing God within myself either.

Oh doesn’t it feel a’so good to be surrounded with people who agree with your every complaint and argument to validate your rightness!?

ErKKK…Perhaps prior to being coached it felt ah so good to be ah so right.  Somehow things change once you get a coach and begin working on “right” and “wrong” and begin to see just how being “right” can actually trap you into being miserably stuck in life.

After coaching, one tends to not feel quite as comfortable surrounded by people who agree all the time.  In fact a coached person tends to seek out people who from the outside appear to question complaints much more.  People who are much more provocative and instrumental in ones growth become more of a desirable group to be surrounded with.  A coached individual realizes that growth comes out of challenge.

Want to pass this along, economic human rights
and this The Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Please, I simply want to understand how can we continue moving forward and healing this planet and finding peace with the world when we are constantly bombarded with major BULLSHIT!

Yes I really hate to say it, I hate to admit that Mr. Obama has challenged me to question myself and my own beliefs.  Thank you Mr. Obama.

What have I made up about this president?  I made up this story in my head that he was a man of the people, a man who was going to make decisions based on the people in this country-you know those of us who work day in and day out to feed and keep shelter over our families.  The “normal” “everyday” folks like you and I who pay our taxes, who mortgage our homes to provide education to our kids, who, loose our homes when we become sick or ill and miss a few weeks of work.  You know US.  I made up this neat little story about Mr. Obama and how he would get into office and demand unequivocally that the bullshit in Washington would either stop, or simply disappear.  I imagined that he might simply say, “hey I know what would make this country run again, and what I will do is take that bailout money and NOT give it to AIG or Social services, or even schools, what I will do is take that money a nd divide it up equally among every single individual and let them have the freedom to choose who stays in business and who goes.  I will give them the power of financial choice.  I will simply kick out anyone who tries to pass fat in congress, or tries to swindle the american people out of thier money.” I thought he might say, ” hey if you are a thief you will spent time in jail like any other thief, and have the opportunity to learn from your aggressions against others. “

“I made up a story that was sweet and wildly fantastic for the citizens of America, and it seems I made up a whole lot of bullshit!”

PR: wait… I: wait… L: wait… LD: wait… I: wait… wait… Rank: wait… Traffic: wait… Price: wait… C: wait…

I am totally surprised with our passiveness as a nation!  It blows me away that there are not riots happening in our streets and buildings burning.

Have we be put to sleep, are we on vacation, are we completely numb, and submissive to the bullshit going on with our government?

Now that thousands are laid off and without work, there is time, yet I guess it wasn’t the time I thought it was.  Gee I always thought the big guys and gals figured if we simply kept the economy going and people so busy having to work that no one would notice what they were doing with our money, with our souls…but I had it all wrong.

Then I thought well, between pharmecuticals and government they were controlling the large part of societies with drugs, thus keeping us all at bay and silent to whatever they were deciding to do…

Now I can not figure out all this bullshit and our passivity to it all.  Why are we willing to pay taxes?  Why are we willing to loose our homes, go hungry, go without health care and fear the future, and STILL PAY TAXES?

Still pay the government money to handle our money and hope that they give some back to us?  What a bunch of bullshit!  Its as though we are our governments slaves…willing to submit to any thing they wish to do.  This is absolutely wierd…isn’t it?  Does anyone out there think this is strange?

You can find the address and phone number to our president right here at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/
If you wish to call, you must do so during the week between 8 and 4pm I believe. Do both! Call and write and send an email!
