It's that time of year again - the day where you can eat all you want and not feel guilty about it because the next day you give it all up! The day where you get to wear masks of feathers and beautiful dresses and costumes and trade beads! Bright and bold colors and fun galor! Fat Tuesday, also known as Mardi Gras. Ah the joys of being Catholic.
Hope you all have a good party tonight!
HUGS! and many beads...hehehehe

Hahahaha!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today is incredibly interesting, to say the least. We are once again overstaffed, and today that means we are fighting over charts to keep busy! I have been able to do a few things, but it feels like I'm doing nothing! I did put up some decorations for St. Patrick's Day. It was a group decision not to do Mardi Gras as we are in Utah and most people probably won't know what on earth it is or approve of it if they do.
I am almost done with the Flat Stanley project. They are due back on Friday this week. I have spent almost as many hours scrapbooking as we have spent on time going places! I am having a small time about giving the scrapbooks up. I am glad to be doing them for the girls, and I knew up front that I wouldn't be keeping them. So I'm going to take pictures of the scrapbooks as soon as they are done. It's been a crazy process. I've been taking the history of the places they've been and putting it on a tag that can be pulled out from the scrapbook and read. Let's just say I've done a ton of history research, and it's all been pretty cool. Let's just say I'm tempted to do one for myself! We'll see. I have tons of other scrapbooks that I need to finish first...maybe. ;)
I just downloaded my last round of pictures onto my computer. I don't know which ones to post...I'm thinking about a couple that I really like - one from fall and one with snow. I haven't been out much to take pictures, so I don't have many new ones to share. I am still working on books of my photography as well as one with Lilli. With my grandpa transitioning, I haven't done too much outside of the Flat Stanley project.
Hope you all had a nice weekend.
HUGS!

I have to reverse the curse!
Ok, I have to reverse the curse! I have been having a hard time starting IV's and with veins blowing...for the last week! I am putting the energy out to the universe that I can start IV's and will not blow veins!
Well, the Flat Stanley project is back under way. They still have a few places they need to go before they go back home to California. Unfortunately they will not be able to visit some places because of extenuating circumstances - sorry Laurel and Julie. They have been several places recently - Wendover to see Wendover Will and the Metaphor: the Tree of Utah, the Ogden train museum, rode the Font Runner train, the Saltair, Gilgal gardens, Big Cottonwood Canyon and the Silver Fork lodge. Travel plans include Hill Air Force base to see the plane museum, Fat Cats bowling alley, and church seeing. We are hoping they get to go to Brazil this weekend, too. We'll see.
Mike cooked me a very nice King crab leg dinner for Valentine's Day. I was also gifted with some incredible perfume! We spent the day together, and that's all I wanted. The perfume does smell fabulous - both in the bottle and on me!
My weight loss goals are still there - although I'm not able to move towards them as fast as I want. I have gone cold turkey off the cola again. My new sobriety date is February 13, 2009. I have switched to plain water. I am doing better on not eating junk food on a regular basis. It's kind of challenging with Easter coming up - some of my favorite candy comes out this time of year. I am limiting myself to 2 servings of chocolate a day - that's down from whenever I felt like it. I am not loosing weight like my coworkers - some are down 9-12 pounds in 7 weeks! Let's just say I haven't really moved ANYWHERE on my weight, and I my goal is 10 pounds by April 1st...yea, I have some serious changes and steps to take. I was aiming for 20, but that's a far cry off now. It would be easier if Mike was wanting to exercise with me. We have talked about snowshoeing on the weekends but yet to actually do it.
I am working towards my Qualified Therapeutic Touch Practitioner certification, so if anyone would like to work with me - basically let me give you Therapeutic Touch on a regular basis, PLEASE, email me. The more I people I can work with, the better I get and the more experience I get. It's kind of like massage in that respect, and the other similarity is the universal relaxation response. I have plenty of scientific research articles that support other responses like decreased stress, anxiety, and pain as well as accelerated healing.
I hope that you are all doing well and to hear from you sometime.
HUGS!

WHAT A DAY!?!?!?!
I can hardly believe what a day it has been - my body aches, my feet are throbbing, and my brain hurts! This is one of those days that I wanted to just break down and cry. I couldn't get any peripheral IV's, and I was just shaky all day. Makes me royally mad at myself. I have been reminded that each one of us has good days and bad days, and that today was a bad IV day for me. Doesn't make me happy, but that is what it has been. It's also been insanely busy - it's now 4:15pm, and things are finally slowing down.
I am on my way to overhauling myself. Yes, I am finally taking some steps to begin making my life more what I want it to be like. It's going to take some time and be challenging, but it will all be worth it. I know that it will enhance my relationship with Mike as well. I am excited to be starting this part of my life's journey.
I hope you all have a great Valentine's Day.
HUGS!

Time Just Flies
Sorry it's been a while. I've been lost in my own little world.
It's been 4 weeks since my grandpa transitioned. I am still mourning, but I'm not as disconnected as I have been. I have had an incredible experience since I last wrote. I was able to use Therapeutic Touch to help save a life last week. It was the most incredible feeling - to be completely centered and an instrument for healing. I haven't felt so complete and doing what I'm supposed to be doing with my life in a long time. Email me for the full story.
I took another Basic Therapeutic Touch class this last weekend. Mike even joined me. We had a nice time. It has helped keep the fire burning for me. I am aiming to obtain my QTTP - qualified Therapeutic Touch practitioner certification. I am finally in a place where I have people to work with on a regular basis and the inner and outer motivation to get it done.
Lost Poets was also this weekend. I shared some excerpts from the new book I'm reading - The Care and Feeding of Indigo Children by Doreen Virtue. I see it as a self care book for myself, and I think others in my life. We had a blast celebrating February birthdays, burning another C-mas tree in the fire pit...ahhhh...fire...
Work has been hard this week. It's been busy and slow to the point of my body and mind hurting...and there's still one crazy busy day left! At least I have a 3 day weekend!
Speaking of which, Mike and I are planning on going snowshoeing for Valentine's Day, weather pending, of course. Outside of that, as long as I get to spend the entire day with him, I don't care what we do.
I am currently at Cafe Alchemy awaiting Each 1 Reach 1. I am early, but it's giving me plenty of time to get things caught up.
I'll talk to you all later.
HUGS!

The Inside Scoop
Many of you know the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know" as well as the book "The Secret" - yes? Well. my little poetry and prayer that I wrote and sent out into the virtual world and intention held in my heart has begun to come full circle. No, no one has emailed me about it. Within 24 hours of writing that, I began to feel more grounded and energetic and motivated.
I encourage you to do something similar. Write down a few things, at least 5, that you would like to have happen in your life. Post it on my blog, email it to me, or just write it down and shove it in the back of your underwear drawer where you will forget about it for a while. ;) Then let the universe set that energy in motion for you and enjoy the ride.
Chester has been chasing fairies last night and tonight. It's been really cute and funny. I tell him he's not allowed to eat them. I think they pull his tail some times. It's really cute. Tiger just sits back and watches.
I want to also encourage you to find your passion. Whether that be painting, teaching, energy modalities like Therapeutic Touch, whatever it is, pursue it! Do what you can to make your dreams come true.
I hope you are all doing well.
HUGS!

Poetry and Prayer
I'm Flying high above
not by choice
head in the clouds
ground far below
looking for something to grasp
finding nothing to hold
how long will I be here
disconnected from everyone
detatched from everything
Angels help my wings in flight
Tree spirits help my feet to find ground
Fairies help my hands to hold the flowers
Mother Earth help my throbbing heart
Father Sky help my dreams reach the heavens
Mother Moon help my intuition be clear
Father Sun help warm and dry my tears
Ancestors help me find my purpose in this life
