Welcoming a New Day with Dance

With Beauty
Good Morning Monday

Good Morning Monday
The coffee is ready
the warmth is beautiful
and
It is delicous to be wakening at home.

Sometimes a day at home is so darn good
you just revel in it, as I did on Sunday.
We spent the day just in
"chill" fashion
differntly than most would think of
"chill"
as we took to the outside chores that were long
overdue.
HItting the outside long neglected tasks
and the yard that made the ole' homeplace
look as no one had been home for awhile
or busy beyond measure.
I have to tell you I cannot remember the last
time I was so very present
in tasks that usually are not so enjoyable!
I was just tickled
to fire up that leaf blower
and for the longest time
enjoyed myself
as I blew those dreadful "Oak Leaves and stuff"
from the walkway, the driveway and hidden from all
over into an organized path and into the street.
No one to speak to, no one to offer suggestions to,
but only to direct to the street for
Mr Street Sweeper to get rid of this morning!
Then to the yard to rid ourselves of the annoying
and ever present soon to be
"Oak farm that is destroying the yard and grasses"
While I enjoy an old Oak tree or two,
how I have come to not like Oak trees in Florida
and
find them a nuicance here
wishing against wishes that this one
would transplant itself to another place
preferably Colorado where I have seen pictures
of acres of flat lands that would enjoythe mighty Oak in its splendor!
And I can't help but wonder;
why is it
that my home
is the only home
with Oak crap
all over the yard and little bitty Oak babies
taking over the yard and flower beds
and the screen top of my lanai.
AND
of course
I still find my mind boggled that on a persons' own
property
you cannot take these trees down
without "permission" and without paying for
licenses, and without red tape
and such things...
So while the body aches from trying to do it all
in one day,
there is an immense sense of satisfaction
from doing so much in such a little amount of time
and
making things look so good
all though
the massive and irritating
big ole'
Oak is there laughing
and
saying
"there is more aggravation to come"~

It was great to be out of the "head"
and into the movement of
just being for awhile
and stretching
and seeing the efforts of action
without words for the day
while feeling the warmth
of the day
and
absorbing
Vitamin D
I have to tell you.

Fluidity of movement
and
the lovely immediate results of what had been done
visible!
Aaah
just fine indeed.
As we approach the end of another month,
the energy and the light are changing,
the light months are returning to us,
spring is around the corner.
A time of new beginnings.
What an exciting time for us all.
Some are preparing for big and newness is all around.
New Beginings are always exciting if not a bit
scary it seems.
There are those who are preparing for moves
in jobs; in moves to new areas,
time to close out old business, to leave old relationships,
old areas, to walk away from old things that have not served you well or old things that you have "outgrown"
it is a time of transition I hear from many.
STOMP
Perhaps that is really how the phrase
"spring cleaning" really first came about I wonder.
Cleaning out the old
to make room for the new?

I've been blessed to hear from many across the country since my return home from speaking, from meeting new people since the first of the year.
It has been an honor to meet so many.
Some have enjoyed the words they have heard; some have appreciated the reminders of things they knew already; others felt as though they have not heard anything they did not already know while others felt inspired by the words and yet others have wondered if I am free to engage in therapy from a distance.
Still others found points they wanted to challenge either there while the seminars were taking place
and they did so,
which opened the conversation
and I encouraged that,
then opened the floor
for others to respond to
allowing their peers to
give their responses
it was stimulating
engaging
and at times
it was
fiery as well!
One thing is certain
professionals in the caring professions for the most part are daggone good at what they do and most give all
to their patients and clients,
most sacrifice much
and their very own families often
should be the recipients of "awards"
as they often do with less
as those in the helping professsions
work long and hard
for those they are honored to work with.
I bet they too sometimes
welcome a day to
mow or blow leaves
seeing a
"beginning, middle and end"
to the task at hand!
One without human interraction or interruption
or crisis along the way.
Sometimes that is a great respite.
Blowing those leaves into the street
is rather mindless
and
you can take your time,
while it may make your back hurt after a bit,
it is a job of satisfaction when it is over
(unless the wind blows it back to you)
it is over!
No one asks for more
until the mighty Oak dumps on you that is!

But
then again
it is temporary, and it gets you out in the warmth, the sun, and for a moment, you can wear shorts and not really care what anyone thinks about you technique
and not have to answer to anyone but the blower!

Yes, life is filled with small and big surprises
and I find this morning to be a day of promises
a day
of knowing that many are facing small and big
challenges.
I also know
we are approaching a new month
a month of
change for many.
A time of
New Beginnings
new promise
and
it is so very important
that we give the right messages
to our
Brain
learning to give
consistent messages to that wonderful
brain of ours.
Our brain loves consistency, so we must be
consistent in those messages
we must practice practice practice.
"I am grateful, I am thankful, I am doing my best"
We must remember:
"Whether you think you can,
or
Think you can't you will be right"

So friends
give yourself and your brain
so beautiful flowers
and
magnificent flowers
and thoughts to sustain
you
today!
Plant yourself firmly on
the ground
and thoughts and messages
that will begin your day
with an
attitude
to start this day
with love, kindness
and
HOPE
for the day
you
DESIRE
to make it what YOU want it to be.

You have the power to make it what you want
it to be.
Make it outstanding for yourself.
It is your choice.


Cuz Angie up there in Southwest Va
is healing each day from that serious abdominal surgery, and contnues to STOMP
with an attitude of gratitude
and so glad surgery is behind her.
Olivia in MD is walking on those little feet
now that her surgery and her
blessingswy with Kelly 2wolves
helped her to stand, and Nana was there
to encourage and love her through those first days along with the Mama
and those spirits who stood by her.
EE in Colorado is improving day by day
and has fought back from that horrible and rampant illness.
AND
warriors on this page are
STOMPING
everyday
with the help and knowledge that they are
NOT alone
and that we here
are always with them.
This week we surround
LIzzie and her family up in Manassas VA
as they are under great times of stress there
we are with you dear ones,
we are standing strong with you there.
STOMP
Kelly 2Wolves and Jinxy out in South Dakota have been so busy caring for all and sending prayers for all of us
that she is fighting a nasty cold
and still digging out from under the snows
she has been a bit under the weather,
so
Sissy,
we are with you darling
"arm in arm"
sending prayers your way
rest, restore and heal
knowing we are sending you
healing on the winds.

For those who serve
in Uniform
walk across the street if you have to,
take a minute
and
"thank them"
for their service
for protecting you and your families
for putting it on the line.
Tampa continues to mourn our losses
and we are still in shock
of those we have lost.

Life is like
Spiders Web
whatever is done to one is done to all
the web is fragile
and each thing affects all others in and on the web, and felt by the Universal Oneness
of the great connections.
You see my friends,
we may have been born into a family,
been born into circumstance
have lived through hell at one time or another
even perhaps been diagnosed and witnessed and gone through hell in life
perhas even gone through trauma.
BUT
it is what we have done, what we have worked through, resolved that matters.
It is what YOU have mastered
what you have done with those beliefs
that determine
"who you are"
as
"who you are and where you've been
is not who are where you are now"
you are different now
those old labels and conditions
may not be who you are now.
You may in fact not be able to call yourself those things any longer!
One who has resolved their trauma
is no longer "traumatized"
one who is no longer "abused"
is no longer a "victim of abuse"
they are a "survivor"
so it goes.
It is now
time to "leg go" of old labels
to adopt and embrace
who you are
to
STAND UP
and embrace
new belief systems
to give your brain consistent messages
and make your new beginning
the
new YOU
now and forever more.
STOMP
Welcome to your
new LIFE
Congratulate yourelf
on work that has bee done
and know
YOU ARE A SURVIVOR
WHO HAS CHOSE TO EMBRACE THE LIGHT
AND
TO FIGHT
FOR YOU and HAS HEALED
from within.
Dance
enjoy your life.

Be gentle with yourself today
Be good to you,
and
kind to those you meet.
Kindess costs nothing
but gives so much
through a smile
a touch
through buying the person behind you at the drive-through a
coke
or a coffee
just because you can do it
and then
glancing in the rear view at the reaction
will set the pace of the day
all day long!

If you make time for work
you must make time
for
PLAY
and
for YOU

LIsten to music in the car dear ones,
after all
you already know traffic is jammed up
you are after all
sitting in traffic!
HOW much more do you really need to
know about that?
Dance
Laugh
Enjoy
Breathe
Think of good things
and give that time in your talk, in your head
at least give it more time than you give
the negative time or things that you hear
and join in conversations about!

and
of course remember this:
YOU CAN NEVR EVER EVER
have enough
laugher
sunsets
real friends
sunrises
new experiences
ah ha moments
fun times
music
comedy
health
cookies
vacations
touch
wonderment
joy
chocolate (fat free or sugar free)
water
OR
pie
or
SUGAR

The fire is burning, the embers are hot, the sage is fired up ... thoughts on the winds to all who gather here, and even those who somehow have missed this page!

Hello Oprah, Jay, Ellen??? Still waiting, did you get our book? wassup, time for Healing Heartaches dear ones? Hve your people call my people OK

It's so Good To Be HOME

Tampa Bay Grieves
as
We join in prayer
for
our Police Officers
who have now
Joined
The Thin Blue Line
Officer Crawford
Dance with your brothers and sisters now
on the Galaxies
We Will Never Forget you
and
We Thank you for your Service in our Comunity
I will hold your family
your Police Department in my heart
and
in the prayer bowl today
and
always
as I remember all
who are now
members of
The Thin Blue Line
Our Hearts here are heavy
'''

<>
I sure did sleep well in my bed last night
and
the four leggeds missed me
and oh boy is the coffee good this morning
with no where to go
and
nothing
but
the home to love
and
the yard to mow
on the agenda of the day!
Good morning home, good morning Warriors,
ohhh it's so good to be home!

"In valor there is hope."Tacitus

Let us always hold on to
and
maintain
HOPE
it is within
during times of darkness, times of uncertainty,
times of loss and grief, and tragedy.

Today,
let us hold up self
and
reach out to others
in thoughts and prayers
with the Universal connection of energy
and
know that our thoughts and words are powerful
and
our intention
is pure.
STOMP
and
give thanks to those you see in Uniform
who stand in times of uncertainty
with heavy hearts
and
fatigue
and sorrow
while continuing to serve and defend
and protect.
STAND UP
with your appreciation
and your
power to affect change
and pride
of
YOU.
Together we are so much.
So many Police Officers have joined
the
Thin Blue Line
of death
now
standing strong
on the other side
watching over their
brothers and sisters
and families
differently than ever before,
suddenly, unexpectedly
just like that...
taken too soon
and
we continue to be shocked
as a community
as families
and
as
friends.

Remember
this day
is a day
to embrace
to
enjoy
to
LIVE
as if you are dying
Recall
friends,
"some gave all"
so that you could live this day
and
enjoy the liberties, the freedoms
the wonder of your world!
and
you can never ever ever have enough
love
enjoyment
wonder
awe
laughter
remarkable moments
joy
and
SUGAR

STOMP
the fire bowl is fired up, the sage is filling the air this morning.
With prayers and thoughts on the wind to all who are named, and many who are not, we are with you.
Tampa Bay PD, and St. Pete PD,
