If Only ......

more people (celebs....) would decide to expand their excessive consumption circle and open their eyes to the rest of the world like my girl --Angelina!!

Not only is she more beautiful pregnant.....but also in her efforts to raise the less fortunate sentient beings of this world. I watched the interview this eve of her with NBC. I cried..... I think it touched me so deep because I am adopted. Her description of her love towards her two adopted children was so genuine and wonderful. She described how she aspires to have little Zahara grow to do good in the world. If she hadn't adopted her.....she wouldnt have had parents....or the chance for an education.

I applaud Angelina and Brad for doing their part......Namaste'

Hi all !

Sorry for the absence........I've been Busy Busy Busy in my new Job responsibilities.....I will update more this weekend when I've caught up with my new self.

The universe Answered…

So…a few posts ago I asked the universe “why”….in regards to how people are afraid to “Live their Truth”. I also made reference to my realization of motives behind the angry messages I receive. One of my life goals is to LIVE MY TRUTH. And what I mean by that is to live as if its my last day. Tell people I love them, be honest without fear of reprisal….let shit go that doesn’t matter…..overcome fears….stand for what is right…..refuse to participate in the negative……and celebrate life!

Now...the reason for this post. I’ve actually been marinating (that was for U Kitty)…over how to present my Friday experience. It was life changing. It was a karmic message. It was a leap for me…..and I didn’t get hurt. It rocked!!!!!

About two months ago I ordered tickets to Benise. I had watched his DVD one afternoon on PBS and made a note to attend his performance if he ever came to PHX. I didn’t have anyone in mind to go with ………but ordered them anyway anticipating I would figure out who to invite. Normally when I’m not working….I budget my monies and refrain from spending on frivolous things. This normally would fall into that category. But for some reason……I paid 130.00 anyway. (perhaps part of the test).

After working at my new job this week, and fighting off allergies and the start of this ugly cold I’ve managed to catch; I attempted to pawn them off to workmates, friends, neighbors. Not sure if it was because of everyone’s busy previous weekend entertaining Mr. Cottontail, but I was unable to gift them to anyone.

OK….plan B…scalp them. I was willing to give a two for one deal. These tickets were center stage….20 rows up from the stage. Great tickets at the Dodge Theatre which has a slightly sloping seating arrangement. I drove downtown….used the parking pass that came with them, realized I was a little late to get top dollar and consigned myself to just give them away. You know…do a good deed…and all that.

As I am walking towards the theatre, I ask two other couples if they would like better seats than that they have…….of course they didn’t believe me….who would ? Right? Some girl walks up and says she will just give her great tickets away……I probably wouldn’t believe me either.

Just as I am getting near the doors after talking myself into going to this event by myself, (something I usually have a hard time doing), there is a single women walking away from the building. I asked her if she needed a ticket? She proceeds to tell me that she lives in Scottsdale (at least 25 -40 mins one way) and after she took the tickets out of her purse to mapquest the theater…..she left them on the desk and zipped to the theatre. Her companion was given a ticket from one of the rickshaw guys and she offered to drive back to get her ticket. (Personally, I thought that was ridiculous and rather selfish of him…but anywho).

It was at this point that I realized this was one of those moments where I could “LIVE MY TRUTH”. I said….no…..U can sit with me……and gave her a ticket. She said something about paying 165.00 for the tickets from some broker and didn’t have the funds to pay me. I told her not to bother. The show was fantastic…..she didn’t get to sit with her companion…but we exchanged numbers and I have a new friend.

I guess there was a reason I paid for tickets I couldn’t afford, couldn’t get rid of them, was delayed in getting to the theater to scalp them, and overcame my fear of going to events by myself. It was to help another in need. That simple.

NAMASTE’

WHY!......what did I do to deserve getting ANOTHER cold…sinus infection?.....and of course even tho I am working now…..I haven’t signed up for med /dental and vision insurance as of yet….so I cant even go to get some relief. Ugh ! and I had sooooo much planned for today around the house…..cleaning, organizing…but here I am…..still in bed at 5 in the afternoon…… Its not all that bad….I mean I have 4 little bedmates to keep me warm and cuddle up to …..and so so movies all afternoon to watch…….but I kinda wanted to be productive without this really sore throat and headache!

Off to make some more tea …… =) Blessed be …..M

The Glaad Awards.......

I watched the Glaad Awards tonite......(awards for the Gay, lesbian, Bisesxual and Trans Community media, movies, reality tv, etc.). The message which was repeated through the eve by various celeb's and via different words was simply: BE YOUR OWN TRUTH!

I wonder....no ...I know.....the reason the weaker members of the human race who hide behind hatred, bigotry, and prejudice behave the way they do towards what ever target they have chosen for the moment .......is NOT because deep down they do not accept....its based in FEAR!...and not really fear of anything outside themselves.....but because they fear LIVING THEIR OWN TRUTH.......

so simple....so basic.......and I know from the reactions I receive each and everyday from people I interact with........SO THREATENING!

Isnt it sad.....that the mssg I am given each day by society is to not be myself....when in reality.....that is all I am attempting to do.......BE MY OWN TRUTH?!?

Okay....time for bed.......I have a job now U know......LOL

The Cycle of Life.......

Where did I leave off?.......oh yeah...my head.....so...that was this past Monday the 10th. Well, I still have that damn head-ache. At first I thought it was a migraine due to eating dairy in a delicious tiramisu......and believed it would be gone when I got that out of my system.

NOPE..........

Then I attributed it to the infusions (weather pressure changes)....and believed when the rain came, my head would stop hurting and the nausea would go away........

NOPE.........

Then, after speaking with a girlfriend (who's house I visited last weekend incidently), we realized I may have some mysterious virus that has plagued their house for the last two weeks. It's a combo of aches, moments of exhaustion coupled with false energy that puts you back to bed, a headache from HELL, low grade fever that comes and goes, and waves of nausea.


during all this trying to figure out why I can not get myself motivated these days, Ms. Fontaine was found dead Wed. nite. =( It appears she was chewing on a toy and maybe choked on a piece. Thats the only explanation I can come up with since she was fine, screaming and playing just that morning with Chicken and Bubba. We pulled her tail feathers, cleaned them for later display and buried her next to my yorkie Rocket in the back. The strange thing about this whole experience.........neither Chix nor Bubba have made a peep since Ms. F passed. I check on them thru the day and they are just sitting there. Im worried they think something is "in the air" and are truely missing her. She was sooooo sweet and such a character.


I have also been very busy preparing for a federal anti-piracy PI assignment coming up. I cant say anything more about it......but I am both very excited and nervous. Wish me luck!


Last, I accepted a job and start Monday the 17th. Its back with AMEX, working on a six sigma project. Im really looking forward to seeing workmates from technologies and across the way over in card services........IM BAAAAACK!!!! LOL


I'll check back with you after my assignment is over.....and let you know (to what extent I can) how it all went !!

OMG!.....My HEAD!!.....

Not sure if anyone else out there experiences migraines when the barometric pressure changes before it rains ?!?!?!? I am ready for someone to please stick an icepick in my brain to relieve the sinus pain !!!!!!

1:02:03 on 04/05/06 twice today =)

Did anyone else notice ?!?! or am I just a huge NERD!!
