I'll stop the world and melt with you...

LIFE is Good. Period. There are many ways we choose to confirm or deny that... moment to moment, each and every moment of our human existence. The shifts, the twists, the turns, the gifts, the lessons, the friends, the love... Oh my! I am so in love and so filled with the chills of growth, evolution occurring with full awareness. I've got fear. It's quiet and weak in the face of love, joy and big deep breaths of courage and welcome.

If ever I felt I wanted the world to stop so I could melt with my surrounding humans, it's when I'm with my RU Tribe.

I've got stories, you know it... and I'm gonna get the gumption to write them all... in the meantime, enjoy these glimpses of words to come: Glaven's long lost family (reunited by Samuel); what I was called to do instead of hearing Scott Noelle's talk on the Pleasure Principle; the conference glow; the Barefoot Boogie; my soulmate, Kyle. Wait til you hear the Fergus story; the joy of sharing Dave with Crystal and our craaaaaazy monkeyness ;) (I ♥ our husband); the Lucy Booth; the ABQ manifestation (and Corvallis, and Vancouver); the growls; the howls; the joy; the laughter; the TRIBAL Connection (far more real than the Rainbow Connection).

Note to the PNW Manifest Crew: Scotty's musical mentor is moving to WA... the fates at work?

LIFE is Good!!

Perfect Conference Horoscope

Gemini: Your actions are fully aligned with your intentions today, and this can be an unbeatable combination. Others will be more inclined to listen to what you say now, for your voice carries the fire of your convictions. Choose your words carefully to convey exactly what you mean, but don't expect immediate results. It may take a few days for reality to catch up to you.

S-aaaaaaah!-una

I think it get it now, why it is the Scandinavian folk like saunas so much. Nope, not just because it's freaky cold most of the year wherever you find lots of white folk. My theory is, and it must apply to all other pigment-deprived folk, a sauna feels just like sunshine on your body, but without the threat of sunburn! Picture me laying on that bench (if I sit up my head is too much hotter than the rest of me!), pretending to sunbathe :) I wonder if there is a Spiritual history to saunas... I was reminded of the sweat I did and how purification of the body is really metaphorical to purification of the Self. A great way to prepare myself for the upcoming days of joyful madness and over stimulation (yes, it even happens to me!). I was ready to jump into the cool pool (it seems cold, but I'm sure it's just cool) after 15 minutes of a good dry heat :) I may have to check that out again when the boy wakes up!

Thinking Blogs

Doc says I'm a blogger who makes her think or laugh or sigh :) That means I get a new button on my sidebar! It's a meme where I'm supposed to tag 5 blogs who make me think (or laugh or sigh), instead I'm taking lead from her (:::waving from Corvallis:::) and I officially nominate all the blogs on my list (including Madeline, welcome back!) Thanks for making me think, thanks for keeping me posted on the little silly stuff in your lives, thanks for making me feel part of a Real Tribe, even if I get lonely in Souf'akota!

Oh Yes!

I had to do it. I don't even have to justify it by reminding you that I'm a girl in new love when I tell you I waited to leave. til now. Scotty's on his way to work and we're taking apart the 'puter when I hit publish. We're rolling into Corvallis early, early Tuesday morning and I can't wait!! Miss me :)

On the road again...

Off we go... this afternoon anyway :)
I got to wake up yesterday, snuggling with my boyfriend - what an amazing treat!- before he took off for a Low concert in Mpls. I won't get to see him before I leave, provided I actually get my ass in gear and get outta town, so the missing has begun before I've even left town.
Diana's To Do List:
Shower
Pack Computer
Headless Chicken Dance while checking out what's left in the house (hoping the DS will appear)
Pop into Gramma Bunnie's 80th Birthday Party
Leave this gahdforsaken town.
Drive for 28 hours.

Wooo Hoooo!!

Every Sperm is Sacred

I don't know about you, but this comic just calls out for it's own Monty Python tune, as I can't find one EXACTLY perfect, this one will do :)

Hey Tena!

Gemini: Feeling like if you don't get on the bus, you might miss catching a ride -- metaphorically speaking, that is? Well, don't get stressed out. If it's meant to happen, it will. If not, it keeps passing you by for a reason.

Once again, chalked up to being a gemini.

Happy Freya Day!!
