Baby It Not That Far Down


Yesterday when I was telling about the next up coming book “12 Secrets of Highly Creative Woman” I didn’t put a link to sign in for the 2nd chapter.



Well things got done around here over the weekend mainly on Saturday I shampooed all the carpet in the house.
This time I was a little wiser the last. I used the shampoo that they recommend for the machine.
Last time I end up having terrible problems with allergies. So this time I used basic H.
I finish Bart carpet today he worked yesterday and floor needed picked up and I wasn’t about to pick up after some able body person.


Now I feel I can start putting things around the place for Yule Season.
I’m hoping to get some smaller things done around the place on my days off during the week for the Yule Season.



This morning when I got up I open the living room curtain walked and started some coffee and looked out my kitchen window and there was a white tail deer and recently my nose and ears been plugged.
I know you’ll are thinking what does a plugged up nose and ears have to do with a white tail doe.
It still deer season and Bart haven’t got his deer. I didn’t quite feel like helping to gut a deer.
So the deer got to live anther day. I believe the season over soon


I made up some Dashi out of odds and ends of vegetables I had around the place.
The I add some Miso paste I’m trying to get the crud out of my body.





Murphy decide we need to redue the steps to side of our home. Opinion time…I like to redue the entry to the side of the house and to the sliding glass door off the dinning room.
The only three things we are lacking is know how, time and money.
Well actual it went fairly well.
Murphy has trouble seeing a figuring out shapes.
I’m fairly good at doing and seeing shapes.
We use Bart a little bit for brut strength.
Plus we didn’t have to buy any special supplies for it. We had enough scrap lumber to redue the steps.



Let see I did some everyday stuff around the place. Dishes, and finished up shampooing the carpet in Bart room and shampoo in front of the boob tube and part way down the hall way so I could empty the tank in the carpet shampooer

I Put On a Different Pair of Shoes

I thought yesterday was the last day of soul coaching and I was wrong.
I didn’t get the book but I took part in it and learn a lot about my self.
I saw a different lights of my life that I thought was terrible but it shine a lot differently now.
I found and hope to keep some new coffee pals that I would like to visit on a regular bases.



I’m looking forward the next up coming book called 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women by Gail McMeekin These classes will start Friday January 9, 2009



My life really haven’t any major new events going on. We went to my sister in law Faith place for Thanksgiving.
There were 19 people at the gathering.
I made a cream cheese pumpkin pie and a beat salad.
The beat salad went over very well.


Murphy is sort of laid off now he works one to three days a week and draws his unemployment.
I thought because of the economy that his type of work would be in dangerous of a major cut back or even possibility unemployment.
Well I understand they had a major sale of trees for next year.
I all most thought that I would be delayed to ceramics in a major way. Statement time…I still have concern about this economy



I got on line and did my personal horoscope which I found interesting, I also found this site called cafĂ© astrology all though I don’t understand it all.
Well my rising sign is Pieces it toward the bottom of the page also there is more. If any one wants to know I’m also my planted of Jupiter is in Capricorn


Well my day is washing the carpet in my home so next weekend we can put up our yule tree.
Plus haul some wood in the basement and the everyday things of life

There Always a Future Around the Next Bend

It look like today is last day of soul coaching and it been a wonderful experience for me. I haven’t regretted a minute of it.
Today topic is creating a famous feature
I find this next assignment one of the hardest but yet one of the easiest


I would like to have more time to be more and be able to grow spiritual. A place I could meditate and pray


To make a living by doing something creative. I have over two thousand ceramics molds, 2 kilns, and a pour table.
Plus plenty of ceramic supplies.
I would like to dabble in other media of art and even culinary arts.


To be mostly natural products that we use in our life. Which would be grown on our property


To have my home finish and organized. I like the laid back country look.


Be more healthy, fit and have my body is part of my temple


To always grow and learn every day in my life.



Sometime I get disturb when I have a dream or goal for the future. Sometime when I think of reality it always doesn’t show a positive side of me.
Sure all my goal and what I want in the future but the head of reality closes in such as paying the bills and everyday life expense



All in all it ok to have these moments of being uninsured of road blocks in your life. I would say it one thing I learn in soul coaching



I’m looking forward for the next book called The 12 Secrets of Highly Creative Women: A Portable Mentor I’ll be getting ordering mine on Monday. I know of two yule gifts I want to order from amazon.

I know Thanksgivng is over I’m running a survey on pumpkin pie on my side bar

Home Sweet Home

In general I’m a happy being although in my life there area I need to work on.
I believe it real doesn’t matter were one lives you take your attitude with you.
“Yes” and they’re those days I have a pretty crappy look on life.
Plus at times I wish I could or need to change something. I start to realize I’m not a super human being and it ok


I’ve always lived in a valley surround by mountains and lot of changes in nature. That one may watch some of it happen at lighting speed and other just at a snail's pace.
I often wonder what it would like to live in complete opposite landscape. But on the other hand I real don’t have any desire to pull up my roots.


Edit note...I forgot to add a link it soul coachingSoul Coaching

ABC Wednesday S Is For.....

It the day before Thanksgiving and so it time for ABC Wednesday


S is for…

SPEECHES


Some people talks for a long time and say nothing and others will do a speech with a few words which have great impact.


Every year I listen to our president state of union address But I have listen to our presidents and there up coming ideals Inaugural speech But not as close as the State of Union



We stilling doing earth week over at soul coaching and today question is ”What do you know about your natural rhythm?”

Although my body is still in pain and most of the pain is coming from my left foot in the inside of my arches.
Before I move on I need to find away to live with this pain.
Which I’m not a big fan of. Statement time…I really feel awful that I blew up at Murphy
I’m real not into a bunch of medicine that real don’t heal you and just take money out of your pockets.
Statement time….I’m not a big fan of our medical here in united states it’s all for the business of making a profit


So in the nut shell I need to take care of this pain it playing hell on my body and my emotions


At first I felt guilty of not being cheerful on yesterday post but it is the truth. I’m a very honest person.



Actual I real enjoy looking at nature. I’m amazing how fast things changes and other real change at a slower pace.
Even in my own life things change at a different rates.
Which I need to be more patience with.
Things have a way of working out.


I was looking out my front window toward the west with my cup of coffee and notice a light pink whispery cloud.
Although now snow out in valley but there was a heavy frost on the ground and Jack Frost paint all sort of neat design on all the window.
As I took a trip into town and all the trees are naked with out there leaves on. But there was this good size Mountain ash with it bright orange berries


I have to say I get much joy of watching nature unfold in front of us.

Two Words "Depressing and frustrating "

I find this topic of “What story is your body telling today?
I’m really having a difficult time with a body telling story.
I don’t like to look at other posting. I don’t want to be influence by other blog so I need to speak open and honest


I know I don’t always eat healthy.
I know this is a cop out. Statement time… My body is sore after work and I don’t want to be bothered with more home stuff
I know what I want my body to say and I have ideal how to get there.
But to find the time and energy to apply them to me is anther story. Which at time I find it frustrating and depressing.



Well I had my weigh in at T.O.P.S and I lost a 1 and ¾ pounds and I’m at 190 pounds.
I’m hoping for a standstill weigh in at our meeting.
If anyone gain we have to add a buck to the pot

Not a 100% Crap

Yesterday I didn’t do my body image for soul coaching I just needed to take care of some heavy things that was holding me down.


I honest don’t know if I like or dislike my body.
Let see I’ll take it from the top.
I have thick dark brown hair that going gray which doesn’t both me.
My fore head is much too large.
I don’t have any trouble with my nose anyhow I didn’t get my mom nose. It looks like someone cut out a prefect triangle and stuck it on her face.
I’m not terrible short although my oldest son Sawyer every time he see me he makes a comment “Gee you’re getting gray and your short” I’m 5’6.
I’m over weight and I would try to change my life style that made me heavy. But then I was back to my old nasty habits.
I joined T.O.P.S I needed something that I’m accountable for.
Confession time…I real don’t know what I want for my finely weight goal. I was thinking 135 pounds. I weight a 192 now.
Some things I think it strange on my body I have a real hard time buying tops.
I’m very large busted. “Oh if you think being big boob is a blessing let me tell you it’s not all it cracked up to be”
When I go into get a top one or two things will go wrong. If it fit me in the shoulder and I’m not all that big in shoulder. I can’t button it or it just so tight it makes the bust area look strange.
Then if I get the boob area to fit. It sometime so baggy on me around the shoulder it looks like I ought to add should pad from the N.F.L.
The last place I put on weight is my waist area. I use to have a super flat stomach but now I don’t although I do have a waistline.
I’ve been told I have cut ass. “I don’t have an opinion about it”
I’m not a big fan of my thighs or any part of my legs. I’ve always had large and heavy legs.
When buying jeans. To fit me around the hip and legs it ended up being super loose in the waist area.
Let see I might have thick hair but my finger and toe nails are a mess


If I lost my weight I would believe my blood pressure and cholesterol level would be normal.
I’ve always retain water



Today assignment is “Body Detox”


I can’t say I have the most healthiest life style but I can flip the coin and say I do a lot of healthy things


I try to eat a healthy meal but I do come up short. T.O.P.S tries to get you to eat a healthy and balance meal although Opinion time…I think they could go more on the vegetables then they do
My day starts out with coffee and I don’t drink as much as I have in pass. They’re pro and cons on coffee like every food we put in our bodies.
I always eat breakfast and lunch is something I real have an issue with there are times I get busy and not eat a good lunch then around 2 to 4 in afternoon my sugar level drop and I usual eat crap.
Then resent I don’t put food in my mouth after dinner and been watching my portion what I eat.
Part of T.O.P.S.


I been making cookies for our up coming Thanksgiving dinner. Confession time…I real enjoy the taste of cookie dough which is full of sugar and fat.
But each night I done cookies I only eat one and no more.
When cookies first comes out of the oven nice and warm that’s the best time to have them.


Water in past has been an issue with me. I’m not a fan of ice water actual I like it out of the tap or with a twist of lemon.
Do I get my eight glass of water usual no.


My main exercise is walking although my body is better with arch support I still hurt and walking on soft ground I can handle.
I also keep physical active on my job, and around the place.


One thing I’ve learn in soul coaching it ok to rest. When I got off work I watch the last half hour of Dr. Phill and put my feet up.
I felt so much better gain my second wind


Well there vantage and disadvantage about having this part time job sure there time we can afford higher grade food.
But there been time I bought processed foods because I was to beat to eat


I’ve seen some people diet I shake my head but also I know our diet there is room for improvement on ours

I Took Action



I was once again stiff and sore when I woke up mostly in back area. Let me say a lot better then yesterday.
I had hope maybe with some coffee and a light movement I would loosen up.
I did



I don’t why I’m in the mood for snow. It doesn’t look like it going to snow anytime soon.
But I hear an artic front is coming down.
We got wood for the stove and plus gas and electric heat. The last thing we want to use is our electrical heat.
“Very costly”



A short time Murphy and I was out in the front yard doing something and we pointed out a wasp nest.
Which was hanging from a western larch.
It was well hidden all summer when the tree was full of life.
Then came fall and the sap went down in root and the leave/needles begin to fall exposing the nest.
I wonder why the wasp built a next that one could later see



This morning I start to have unnecessary worries again that no one knows will every happen and if they did when would it happen


So I decided to take action and get rid of this heavy burden that came upon me. How every it got hold of me.
I knew it was due time to get rid of it


So I did a banishing ritual in my own style


I made a cut out person using a ginger man cookie cutter.
Wrote in large letter down the center “UNNESSARY WORRIES”
Then I list all unnecessary worries.


My ritual went like this
Heavenly Father and Mother Earth.
I need these negative spirits and forces gone.
They weigh heavy on to my self here they are



I also printed them on my person and read them aloud.
1. Being force to do homecare.
2. The economy is so bad that I can’t afford to leave my job.
3. Murphy job is so unstable that we can’t risk me quitting.
4. The economy is so bad that they’re no market.
5. My body will be beaten up that I can’t do ceramics.


Then I tossed it in the wood stove and said
I ask now to wrap me in good loving spirits.
That will protect me and to have necessary balance upon me and those around me.
I’m blessed
I love
I’m at peace and the world is good



I’ve done some light things around or routine thing around the place. No major plans to do just going to do what every and enjoy my day.


It would be nice to put a link to soul coaching

My Heart Is Sad and My Body Is Sore.

I was a little heart broken that I real couldn’t be part of soul coaching today. Oh how I would just love to share something that I created



I just want to create with my hands.
But there is obstacles in the way by who every put them there.
I know some are necessary and others are not.
My little soul coaching gave me hope to created again



They are those days how my heart feel sad when obstacles appear.
I cannot create my mind has 100 and 1 ideals to do.
I don’t know if I want to live in the real world of responsibility.
It can be scary to take time from responsibility and be creative.




Let me tell you. I woke this morning all stiff and sore.
My muscles and joint just ached hardly could move around the place.
It afternoon and I’m still stiff but a lot better then I was this morning.
honest time…I know I couldn’t cast any ceramics pieces and if I had cast anything in the night before a large piece or pieces.
I real doubt I could pull the ware out of the molds

A least my feet don’t hurt

Sky Watch (Open or Close)



Oh how the clouds change by the minute nothing old over at Skywatch hope you have the time to join in and or post





As we were hauling wood from the barn/shed I notice in the southern sky. There was a mixture of light and dark though out the clouds.
I wonder if the clouds was going to open up so the blue sky could shine in.
Then on the other side of coin I was the clouds may cover up the sky and bring us something like rain or snow.





Today topic of soul coaching is spiritual allies



I don’t have any sit way being part of the spiritual needs. Their time I pray and their time meditate or even do comb of both.
Like this morning I did both.



I’m not locked in to one set rules in my spiritual life.
So I keep my mind and heart open.
I have a strong will or some may call it stubborn that I won’t let evil spirit be part of my life.



The god/dess made me who I am as an individual so I worship as an individual. I will attend different place of worship when I feel like it



I’m happy with my spiritual being but I’m always open for growth

Toxic Friendship

I came down this morning and took a peak at today topic over at soul coaching of facing your death.
Well we all know we are going to die in the physical sense and we all have are ideal what happen to our soul or we hope to happen to our souls.
But I think I want to personal address saying, “Good bye to those toxic things we hang on to in our life”



In general we let toxic things to be come apart of our life and lot ways we start to have a relationship with it.
It then comes apart of us.
Just like an old pair of shoes.
In one side of the coin they are real comfortable and the other side of the coin they cripple us.



I guess the big questions.
Would be is this the right time to get rid of the toxin?
How do I get rid of the toxin?
If I get rid of the toxin would worst one show up?
When one choose to get rid of bad toxin will the good one go out with the bad



In all if one decided to rid there self of a toxin one need to take the correct steps or they may have worst problem the they started with.



Do I have toxin that slow me down and make me unsure of myself. “Yes” I could do a 180-degree and not question any possible decision I make.
Wouldn’t look at the other side of coin on issue.
Like I said in Yesterday post I could be like my friend Quenella and only real look at one side of the coin.
Which is also a toxic in one life



My post about Quenella is on the buttom part of the post

Today


The day is all most done here and I though I ought to put up something for ABC Wednesday

R is for…

RIVER
This is the Moyie river





I been learning and enjoy doing soul coachingand to day topic is “Being Present”


I thought one thing I need to do is not tear my day down.
It was a very uneventful day.
Which I’m actual very glad for.
Murphy and I did some light house work and we decided to go up to placer creek and get the rest of our greenish color slate rock.
We piled some of the slate up behind the gate.
So it took out 3 wheel barrel loads and took them to our place.


Murphy decided to unload these rocks out behind the barn/shed. I guess he liked them how they are stacked.
So he took the other pile and moved them out behind the barn/shed.
Now we can actual see our inventory.
We have enough slate to cover and area of 64 square feet up to 144 square feet. We have several ideal we want to do with the rocks.


Today the dryer made this awful noise and it was real easy to fix. We pulled out the lint trap and took a vacuum hose and with the narrowest attachment tool and reach down and vacuum it out



Ok, Murphy and I went had sex this morning we were a wake and no one was home except us.



No I didn’t work on my ceramic shop or do any major decorating thing to my home but I had great company of my hubby.





Yesterday in our soul searching was about “Facing your shadow” Caroline gave me a real a good 180 degree look at facing our shadows.


As you know who been reading my soul search posting.
To put in a nutshell that I will try to look at everything at every possible angle before I make a decision. Which a lot time it slow my self up to take action


Well I have a friend Quenella who lives in what sometime I call “Lalala Land” and is the extreme B personality.
Well she has grand ideal of having small expensive weddings complete catered.
She planning to charge twenty thousand dollars and will serve up to 30 people.
She asks me several times for my counsel on different area of her wedding business.
Well one thing I see and I mention this to her “people are going to look at the price and see the number of people that is allowed”
She said she couldn’t do it for any less.


She and her husband Earl has done a lot of work on there rock gardens. But she has a long ways to go to feature wedding for that price.
I could see possible hosting smaller weddings events


I think she looks at everything in a positive light and don’t know how to look at anything other in a positive light or refuse to.
But her hubby looks at everything in a negative light or he don’t know how to look at any other in a negative light or refuse to


I guess weighing out the pros and cons of situation can be real helpful also instead of jumping in blinded and with both feet.

Those Shadow That Lurking Around The Turn

I real didn’t understand this topic of Facing Shadow
So I had to do a little bit of searching for this day topic. So after putting in several key words and when I put in facing your shadow . I some what understood



I real don’t understand why I self sabotage my self or but unnecessary guilt on my self.
There was the ad on TV ages ago the woman did everything.
Well I want to be a person who had a career, have a decorated home everything go so, have a big social life, and etc.
But this life never came.
In so many more ways I’m blessed


I’m or I should say we are for 09 plans


Put in a veggie garden.
Add deck to our back yard.
Once Bart is out of high school I’m planning to go into ceramics.
Put in a new window in the kitchen.
But I’m a person who weighs everything out and keep asking my self “Is this____” or “What if_____”
I know no one can predict the future and I have no desire to.



I find when things are orderly. Sometime I feel I accomplished something. Then other time I wonder why because I’ll be doing this again.
See after work I’m tired and sore.
All though sense I put in arch support in my shoe it made a big difference.
I sometime have a hard time seeing progress in some of the area in my life.



Then I want to be creative. I’ll tell my self something like this. “You need to get your ducks in roll and you need to be practical”.
I’ll find some reason why I can’t find the time to be creative.



As yesterday I was saying I’m bipolar when it comes to routine and or let the wind control my life.
Wishing time…I want balance between the time to create and organize



There time I also feel like I’ll be at a type of job I can’t actual stand which is now. But actual and I’m thankful that I have a great company to work for and my client Donna treats me well.




Today was my tops meeting and I gain one and quarter pounds. So every pound a person gain they pay a dime.
Well I’m still down from my first weigh in.
Well if we gain anything after Thanksgiving. We give a dollar for each pound we add to our body.
I’m hoping and looking forward not having the scales go up.

Taking Risk

I believe I have a bi polar look on today topic at soul coaching which is taking risk.



I’ve played back in forth if I should have some type of routine or more of free style life.
Honest time…My parents were very orderly and routine mostly my dad He always drove the same route home.
Everything had it place to be put.
My mom would step out and rock the boat every so often.


I guess some may even call her radical. One time for one of the holidays she brought Russian tea to family gathering and they all just sniff it and made the sound in their own way “this is different”


When I put my life on a routine. I become frustrate and angry with my self.
When I don’t have routine and let my life go with the wind. I become frustrate and angry with my self.
I don’t like a lot of routine it bores me to tears.
But if I let the wind control my life my life then spins out of control.
I don’t mind new in a different ideals, thoughts, or things.


Maybe there a reason I live in a non progressive area.


Today at work I’ve been walking Rex down at the ball park or out behind the forest service.
But today He and I went out pass the mission road and walk along dist 5 road.
I enjoy looking at all the neat stuff along the road and saw all kinds of possibilities of making centerpieces.
One thing got me wonder. There was I tree with a whole a knothole size and I was wonder who may take up living in there.


But I know I have to live in the real world but I would rather create to make a living then do something routine





I guess about a year ago a new church arrived in our little town of Bonners Ferry. Called “Holy Myrr berry antiochain orthdox church.
Well I real don’t know much about there teaching or theology.
So I went over to wikipedia .
Actual they’re a sign in field saying “ Holy Myrrh Berry Woman Antiochain Orthdox Church wants to built a church and cemetery”.
Out by us.
This property there looking at is right across from my Aunt Eve place. I haven’t yet talked to her about this.
I have no problem letting others worship as they see fit or need to. But I expected the same back.


So this Thursday their holding a planning and zoning meeting about letting this happen or not to happen

Giving and Having Faith

First of all this will only take a few lines. Murphy and I moved the ceramic molds off the garage floor.
I always worried about if it is right time to do something.






Murphy and I went and took a trip up 20 Mile road up toward Black Mountain to get a Yule Tree off the National Forrest.
We went fairly high up almost up to the Television translators.. But their was a small gate road off toward a small gully witch had lot of Alpine fir.



So we walked down the road into the gully not a deep gully and started to look around for the tree.
Murphy sister want one that was between 8 and 10 feet tall and branches not sticking way out.
We want one over 6 foot and under 7 foot.
After a little bit of looking around at different trees we located 2 that would fit.
So Murphy took the chain saw and cut them down.
For a while I drug our tree out.
Murphy drug out his sister tree and carried the saw.
About half way I asked if we want me to carry the saw.
What we ended up doing was he used his belt and tied both trees and drug them up out gully.
I packed out the chain saw.
Not much snow up on Black Mountain just a small skify.






On the way down off the mountain I notice how pretty and grand looking Roman Nose looked off of Black Mountain looking across the Kootenai Valley had to stop and get a picture.
We thought Cooks lake would have been a better place to get a Alpine fir but we didn’t want the hassle of the snow







We started a new area in Soul Coaching on fire.
Today topic is “Confronting fear/developing faith”



As for fear I guess mine does change or maybe I don’t know what the different about worrying or fear.
Before I make a decision on most things I weigh out the pro cones and I’ll over do it.
There been quite a bit of time I’ll figure out all the ends and out on something and delay acting



I have a fear making the wrong choice and getting belittled like my dad did to me



Some time my Speech .
Then I become afraid to speak in front of others and or to a group of people



I have a hang up on time. I always wonder if this is the right time to do something



I’m also afraid to have people over to my home and they might see something out of place.
I don’t except any one to be prefect and I’m far from it.
But I still have this fear of someone seeing my home



I don’t widely discuss my spiritual path or I’m real careful who and when I bring it up.
Party I live in area that change don’t happen very quickly. I really don’t want someone hassling my family or being threaten of any way.
Plus I don’t like be thumped about other faith or I have no desire to thumped others about my faith



When I'm in store and I see some one in one of those electric cart in store. If I know they had something to do with nursing. I become afraid that I'll end up like that from my body getting to beat up.





I real won’t give my faith a title sometime I pray and other time I meditate. I like observing nature.
I believe there all type of spirits that comes to us and we choose what comes to us by the way we are.
We have total free will and free spirit in us that we are total responsible for the spirit we bring upon us.
I don’t give credit due to any one text of any faith. They all serve a life purpose.
So I read and getting meaning from many different areas.
Do I agree with all 100% of the time. “No” Do I question any of it or understand it all “No”
I have to put it a large nut shell “Love God/dess with all your heart and soul.” And also “Warm None”

I’m one believe that we should be careful what we wish for or pray for. I believe their spirits on the other side.
Who want to help or harm us.


I could list and list things I want or need. But is it something I real need or want in my life.
I’ve never considered my self a person to go to one extreme to anther. Got total wrap up into anything so heavy that I couldn’t see the other light burning.
But one thing I would like to get rid of things that don’t bring balance to my life.
I’m not sure how much I need to toss out of the things don’t bring balance to my life. I know if I toss out too much it could tip the scale and if add more to the other scale it could tip the other way.


I’m thinking of what steps I need to do next to go forward on my ceramic shop. I know I can’t quite my job. We have to live in real world you know pay those bills and put food on the table.


There a lot of time in my life I don’t when to take a step



Edit Note...Oh silly me not to but a link for soul coaching

Just Waiting For A Change To Come



Once again it Friday we have the opportunity to be part of or to enjoy some wonderful picture of sky.
The people of Sky Watch takes time to be our host





Just recently I notice the moon was sitting in a great place in sky so I ran down stair to grab the camera and I had to do something real quick couldn’t recall at this time what it was.
Once I got it done the moon was gone behind clouds.
I still like formation of the clouds up in sky and against the mountain so I took a picture.
But in all I hope the moon would reappear but it never did in sight





Yesterday I was planning to be part of soul coaching the topic real interested me “rules” but the plan was to do after work.
I came home in pain and I was beat.


Today assignment is to share our “gratitudes”


I know I get impatiens at times that I don’t feel or think why things are moving like they should be.
First of all I’m very thankful my feet are feeling much better. I had what I thought was a corn or some type of callus on buttom of ball of my foot.
I was going to pick up one of those corn pads things. Some how I just want to get out of wal mart and go home.
I took Donna down to Sandpoint.
Well when I got home I was sore and want to sock in tub of hot water. I was looking at what I thought was my corn. But it look like a blister which I thought was strange.
So I got out and went into our bedroom.
Called in Murphy and want him to look at.
Well he felt it and it just popped off. Thought it was a piece of crystal or glass. My foot never bled.
Well it left a big dent in my skin but the pain been relieved.
“Thank you”


Oh I have a lot to be thankfull for. I have hubby who loves me and want to take care of his family.
My son Sawyer still keeps in contact with us and is a responsible adult.
My son Bart may still at home because he is in high school but he is developed into a kind person.
My client Donna treats me well.
I’m super glad god/dess loves their children.
I’m now learning to accepted it ok to think outside of the box.
Blogging is a way that I can freely express my self.
I’m thankful I live in a place that offers the four season and nature is changing all time here.
And also that free will is a great part of who we all our



This morning I was over at Hollowing hills and she posted a great topic called Christmas Without religion I don’t why but this start me to think and I want to post about it


We have never gone in debt for Christmas. I’m not a big fan of the legalism of Christianity or any other religions.
Not saying anyone is aloud there “free will”
Now back to the topic of the capitalism of Christmas.
My sister in law Faith believes the ones who uses their faith not to by present are just cheap people.
But I recall my in law at one time was buying for everyone in the family and real no one could afford it.
We couldn’t figure out a plan to change it and then the adults decided to bring one gift and have an exchange.
Which worked wonders in so many ways.
I still buy for the younger kids whom going to show up on Christmas Eve. There pleased with a coloring book.


I don’t know why we don’t celebrate other holidays other then Christian ones. I think or believe there a big population who believes the United States is a Christian county. Personal Opinion…I have never seen the word “Christian” in our constitution or our bill of rights
But I’m not sure how the other celebration that Hollowing Hill mentions could be capitalized on or not.
Or someone just haven’t yet took the opportunity to do it or not


As for my self I like or I feel more in tune to the celebration of the wheel. Our next one would be the Yule holidays
I don’t do much with this mainly there a few reasons.
The place I live is not very progressive in hardly in areas and change doesn’t happen quickly here Confession time…I don’t know hardly anyone who looks their spiritual path as I do or I’m some what afraid to come out of the closet
But I’m getting better but haven’t got on loud speaker and said anything for whole world to hear.
As why I don’t make bold steps on my path of personal faith.
1. I don’t have any desire to be thumped or thumped anyone about his or her faith.
2. I believe we all have are free will or thought to pick a path in our life we need or want to follow.
3. I don’t any type of warm to come to anyone. Because of the path I’ve chosen.



Recently I been going to a group called “Comon Thread” which is more open to other thoughts of faith.
Not just to Christianity.
I’m meeting people in my area who isn’t afraid or willing to think out side of the box



I have to say I ooo and awe over the decoration of the yule season



Edit Confession...I'm some what afraid not to be part of christian take or capitalism of Christmas

Quick Draw McGraw


This is one of the cartoon I use to watch many years ago. Please click here if you want to read more on Quick draw McGraw



Today topic for Explore your relationships for soul coaching


I don’t feel and or I don’t want to claim a spiritual path of an organized religion.
I find comfort in most everything in life.
I find wisdom and knowledge from all.
I find how one want to communicated with spiritual side of life is fine


I’m not total sold on one solid area when it comes to anyone faith. I find it comforting plus I get more out of it when I read short little piece of spiritual bits and pieces.
I can’t list all where I may get my spiritual life. Some comes from different teaching, tarot cards, praying, runes, and most of all my free spirit.
Personal time…I believe we all have free will and we as individuals are responsible for our self

I’m very thankful that my parents never shoved any certain religion down my throat.
Their been times I wish I wasn’t so rush and stuck in rut that I had a few minutes in my life to take time and do more for my spiritual life.
Then I need to find a little time to be more creative

Wasting Away In

Today part of soul coaching I find difficult.
The question is but to us is “What is your energy zapper and juicer” Oh I wish I had more juicer then I currently have at this time.


I don’t what it is about my job I feel zapped and I have a real easy super nice client and the company treats us well.
But I don’t care for my line of work as care giver.
Then on my day off I seem to just have days off and I catch up on my regular stuff around the place.
Being in this routine feels like I’m stuck in rut and it just zapping me to pieces. But I lived a life of flighty routines and I got no ware excepted spinning my wheels.


I don’t what it is but in morning and after I do a walk I tend to be energies. I’ll stop on the way and look and wonder about different things that are changing in our world.
Like watch leaves fall and glide so graceful to the ground. To me it looks like it always fall in the right place.
I have energy and hope after a walk


I also believe why I feel zapped is because of being over weight. Last Tuesday I join TOPS for support group so I can get this unneeded pound off. I lost 2 pounds for my one week.


I went to my spiritual group called common thread and two weeks ago I did this meditation not recalling the name of it but once doing it I felt more energized. But it was in the evening and I think it would do me wonders.
They have a tape and I just haven’t stop by yet and see the lady who did this.
Note to self…Don’t do it even in the evening won’t be able to sleep


I don’t like feeling zapped I like to accomplished things and if I don’t see any real accomplishment I feel worthless and depress




I found this at one of my coffee pals so I don’t recall who



ple that chose Ukiyo-e art tend to be more simplistic yet elegant. They don't care much about new style but are comfortable in creating their own. They like the idea of living for the moment and enjoy giving and receiving pleasure. They may be more agreeable than other people and do not like to argue. They do not mind following traditions but are not afraid to move forward to experience other ideas in life. They tend to enjoy nature and the outdoors. They do not mind being more adventurous in their sexual experiences. They enjoy being popular and like being noticed. They have their own unique style of dress and of presenting themselves. They may also tend to be more business oriented or at the very least interested in money making adventures. They might make good entrepreneurs. They are progressive and adaptable.




5 Ukiyo-e, -4 Islamic, -6 Impressionist, -13 Cubist, -18 Abstract and 5 Renaissance!
Sorry folks I couldn't get the link to work for this quiz

When Is Where

I have a lot of lens I look at my life with and it seems it changing every so fast. Even is same subject I could use different lens.
Depending on what going on with my control or with out my control



It seems like I have to use different lens for “when” or I’m better picking a lens for “how” and “what”



There lot of doubt when I should use a “when” I should use that lens.
Murphy and I are talking about getting some lumber to build a deck off of our dinning room slider.
Lumber prices are coming down but should we wait until they still come down or bottom out. I could wait to long and suffer the consequence.


My arch of my feet is in so much pain form working and now I’m asking my self when should I quite, when will my body mainly my feet give out, when should I go buy or look into arch support for my feet.


I’ve mention that I want to go back into ceramics and was planning to quite my job after Bart graduated from High School which will be end of May or first part of June.
But I still keeping asking my self a ton of when questions.


I have plenty of “when” lens in my camera case but never know which “when” lens to use.

When Should I?????

It a new part to soul coaching This week is water.
Some of out line we will be covering is:
· Explore your emotional life
· Cleanse your house, office and car
· Evaluate your relationships
· Communicate from your heart, especially the things that you have been afraid to say
· Embrace your childlike wonder
· Follow your intuition
· Bathe, shower, soak - cleanse your body
But also turning points in our life?


I like to bring something how water in nature does. As living in Mountain area of Northern Idaho It is amazing how mountain creeks and stream works.
In winter everything is covered and water ways are frozen. Then the spring comes and slowly it melts away as it warms up toward summer.
Water starts to move faster and faster curving new forms and shapes in mountains.
It only seems to take a flash for water to meet the mouth of the rivers.
The rivers are pushing out toward the oceans.
The air sucks the moister out of the ocean and forms clouds.
The clouds take shape and wind moves the clouds into land and rain comes and gives to our mother earth.
But there is time when the heat takes away the mighty power of a moving creek. There trickle of water and some place there will be none.
Then the fall colors appear and things need to rest for the up coming winter.
It will soon start of all over again.
Something in our life needs to be recycled and things needs to be change.
Having a balance is hard in one life. It seems to be a struggle as being in unneeded current



Oh I don’t recall turning points in my life. I made important decisions in my life as I mature and learn I have every right to accept whom I am.
There are things I want to accomplish in my life. I find frustration is one of them that needs to be wash way or clean in my life.
I know nothing will go sailing smoothly in one life included mine.



Where I want to take my life. Maybe the word I need to do is when So it could read.
When should I _________?





I notice a few bloggers and two of my coffee pals Hollowing Hill and Dragon Fly Musing wrote letter to our newly elected President Obama.
So I thought I would take a little time to sent him a letter.



Dear President Elect Obama and family.
First of all I would like to congratulate you on your victory of becoming our next president.
I have more then one issue and at this time I won’t be bringing them up and my ideal of how we should go about them.



Their been time I’ve sat and had coffee with family and friends. At one time or anther someone made the statement “If I was president I would do_______” Well I even said that.



One thing I would do as president is to keep in touch more with the American people.
We come in all walks of life. It hard to explain what an American is.
Personally about once a month or so. I would draw a name out of the hat and contact this person bring them to your office and let them tell you what is going on in their lives and their concern.
I know some may be nerves and won’t tell you how it is.
I personal find you have a comforting side to you and I believe you could put 99% at ease.
Yes I know there is nut cases out there and I total understand the issue of security.



Anther way of keeping in touch with the people of America is to read blogs.
There all sorts of people who now blogs that covers every topic that one can even think of and more.
My suggestion would be try to read 50 random blogs and see how we American are doing.
Believe me I find most bloggers post from their heart



Now for the puppy issue I understand that one of your daughter is allergic to dogs. Now they are different hypro allergnic dogs.
I’m senting a link to wikipedia on dog breeds that is hypoallergenic.
I’m hoping that you can find a mutt for your daughter that is hypoallergenic.



Thank you for hearing me and best to you

Photo Hunt (Together) + Taking My Soul Where It Needs To Be.


Happy Saturday were every you are. Let get right to link for Photo Hunt Today theme is Together
and next week theme will be “ruin(ed)”




This is Murphy and I. We have been together for 25 years.
Married 20 of them and lived together for 5 of them.
I’ve been asked how we stayed married for all these years. Gee I often wonder that my self.
They say never go to bed angry. Well we have and rest up so we could get up and start to fight again. Belief time..I believe there time to clear the air if one has an issue
We did a lot of you shouldn’t do that in marriage.
If I had to guess why we are still married after all these reason. The three main reason I would guess we are still married both are very stubborn, brutally honest, and we are still madly in love with each other





In today in Soul Coaching the topic is “Explore your soul mission “.


My soul mission!!! This one is a difficult one for me. Not saying I don’t feel comfortable in my own spirit or soul.
But there are things in life I a simple wonder about.
Maybe it would be best if I wrote from the heart



Statement time…I don’t have a name for the spiritual path that is in my own self
I felt like I complete never fit into any click 100% always fell short and this use to bother me quite a bit.
In every group their seem to me would be a list of requirements and I would make the mark with some of it and the rest I wouldn’t.
Then I would look into anther group and same thing.
This is one reason I’ve never gave my spiritual path a name such as Wicca, Druid, Hindu, Spiritualism, Christianity, Islam and or etc.


In a spiritual and soul path to me the most important thing is “free will” if any religion want to mess with you free will. To me this is wrong.
I guess that main reason I have never made join a religious group. I’m not willing to give or let anyone take a way my free will.


Some may ask what spiritual path I fall.
It better simple I try to do what is good towards god/dess children. Love our heavenly father and love mother earth.
Respect them because they took their time and made us who and gave us the gift of “free will”


Do I always do what is right the simple answer and honest answer it “No”. I don’t consider my self as an evil person.





Yesterday I went with the flow. We went to Sandpoint and exchange my bras and picked up a few other things around the place.
I don’t what it is I like the yule season all the glitter and the spirit of the holidays. It sure makes things shinny and bright in one life.
I didn’t pick up any Christmas stuff. Oh I just daydreamed about it. So I gave my self-permission to daydream a little.
I start to shampoo the furniture in my home I was going to do both the living room and dinning room.
I decided it was best to do one room at a time.
Simple because the furniture wouldn’t be dry and we wouldn’t have any place to sit





Just a reminder there a survey on my side bar. It about pumpkin pie
