What is it about moving?
What is it about moving? It’s exciting. It’s bittersweet. It has me thinking about accessibility to people, places, and things and at the same time how its all so temporary.
When we are in one place it’s easy to feel like we can meet up with people at any moment… so much so that we don’t really take full advantage of that accessibility. Then, once the accessibility goes away, well, that’s when we scramble.
As @tonyrobins says,” Energy flows where attention goes.” I am finding myself wanting to re direct the energy.
Time for another pivot.
Meditators Proves to Helpful against Age-Related Atrophy
Meditation is currently a hot health topic as recent research from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), showed people who meditate have bigger brains (known as neuroplasticity) and stronger connections between different parts of the brain.
The study also found meditators’ brains showed less age-related atrophy, or wasting away.

Greek Physician Hippocrates
The famous Greek physician Hippocrates administered musical treatments to his patients in 400 B.C. Although this type of treatment did not originate with him, it found in him an exponent of the highest order.
With the increasing materialism of Western civilization, the major tenants of ancient musical therapy have been either forgotten or discarded. - Corinne Heline (1882-1975)

I was talking to this random guy about body image
I was talking to this random guy about body image, self talk, and bondage, as one does when in line to get coffee, and he asked me what I thought was sexy about myself?
Even though it was in the context of the conversation, the question caused me great pause. Just… wow. I expressed that I don’t often think about myself as sexy… the word that comes to mind is “cute”.
Because in my mind cute is safe.
Sexy is not safe.
Who can relate?
We can go into countless examples of the suppression, over sexualization, and war on women :::cough FU TEXAS:::
I’m someone who has lived more in their Yang, then Yin. Especially when in work mode. Which had taken up a pretty big part of my life up until the pandemic. Its been a practice for me to lean into, feel safe in, and be seen in this way.
Before this new friend went on his way he asked me one more time what I thought was sexy about myself. He also said, “You know what it is, sweetie. Stop resisting yourself.”
I finally said, “I think it’s sexy that I am willing to take risks, I am confident in my work, I am independent, I am funny, I open my heart to meeting new and different people, and I am happy! Physically, my waist, butt, collarbone, and eyes are fuckin sexy!”
I got a “Yes, honey! You are all those things, sexy! Now go live it!”
Thank you fairy gay mother! (As he called himself ) This was a conversation about a month ago in SF, but it’s stuck with me. And I have to say… I have been feeling pretty darn sexy since I faced that and stopped resisting.

Someone I dated at one point told me I was too expressive
Someone I dated at one point told me I was too expressive! I’m reminded of that comment today as I look at this freeze frame and think my facial expression is hilarious! And even more hilarious how me just being me is how I am able to connect with so many of you and actually make a living… BEING EXPRESSIVE!
Maybe what people make fun of you for is actually your super power!

Thank you all for the comments on my post.
I went to the property yesterday and just sat for a bit. The cicadas were in deep conversation and the
birds were singing. Really good energy from the land with the kind of quiet I crave.
There is a slope to the land so that will be something I will just have to wait and see how it will work with us when I get to breaking ground. But before I get a head of myself… researching architects and contractors now.

Being open to the path that’s unfolding.
Being open to the path that’s unfolding.
I was in the process of buying a small parcel of land. I was doing my due diligence. I went to zoning, mapping, and probate. I talked to tree removal service, and what it would take to put in a septic tank, power, and water. This little piece of land (.45acre) looked manageable, was going to lower my overhead, and give me a place to come back to after long road trips and periods of being away. The best part! It was close to my family who would be more than happy to watch over it when I would be away.
Well, the sellers agent ended up being sexist and patronizing. After doing my homework on the land found I called @estremezco for some advice and ended up teaming up with an agent to help me as there was a deed issue, a pipe issue, zoning issue (there’s a dilapidated structure built too close to the property line) etc. My agent brings my offer to the sellers agent and… nothing. GHOSTED for two weeks.
I received a call 2 days ago from the sellers agent to tell me that the seller was no longer willing to even hear an offer from me because I was working with agent. He said that there was no room to pay a commission to another agent.
I then said that I have an agreement with my agent and that the seller would not have to be concerned with paying a commission to my agent.
The agent then repeated himself/yelled at me. And I plainly replied,” No Mr. xxxxxx. YOU don’t want to bring my offer to the seller because YOU don’t want to have to work with another agent. Doesn’t the truth feel better? Thank you, but I see there is no business to be done here.”
I was super bummed.. but there is something to unanswered prayers!
I called my dad to update him… and then he offers to sell me his parcel of land! which is in the same town, and is bigger lot just around the corner from my dads house. Giving me everything I was looking for and more with less stress! And then in the same day my leasing office gives me an option to move out this month! (That’s another story!)
Can I be out by the 20th? We’ll see!
What an unexpected ride! I will share more as it develops!
The Healer within by Dr Mitchell Gaynor
"Sound enters the healing equation from several directions: It may alter cellular functions through energetic effects; it may entrain biological systems to function more homeostatically; it may calm the mind and therefore the body; or it may have emotional effects, which influence neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, which in turn help to regulate the immune system--the healer within."
