Wow! It seems like a long time since I have been writing lately. So much is going on it is hard to know where to start. Let's start with the vow I took as a Buddhist which starts, "Sentient beings are numberless, I vow to save them...." Guess I took that quite literally when I resolved to help my friend, Joseph, who is in kidney failure. I shamelessly asked everyone and put up notices on the internet chat rooms, craigslist, buddhist forums, etc. Well, it worked. I got about five people to step up to the plate. Two were rejected. One looks like a go and another two are being processed. Well, if life were just that easy, eh?
My second project, my new website-www.wholeheartedway.com. This site will promote my financial coaching. It also will be a wonderful place to go for free or inexpensive resources that could make people's lives a little easier. Who couldn't use that?
I have also partnered with my friend, Annette, to make a grandious website for people suffering from illness and/or disabilities. It also would be a wonderful resource for people to get and receive services and stuff. It is slow going since it is only the two of us, but we are committed to www.shatteredbutwhole.com.
Meanwhile I want to spruce up my blog here with pics and audio and such. I am just not that web savvy to do it so I will have to get together with my IT professional, AKA my husband, and work on that.
In between times when I am slacking, I like to make jewelry. Funny, I don't wear a lot of jewelry but it has been fun and challenging making stuff for friends and family. Saves money on presents, too.
It is very quiet around here, and I miss the chaos of children and/or a dog. Gee, did I just say- miss the chaos?
In the silence I am now getting in touch with just how much a type A I really am!
Our first nite in our new van RV was rocky. We were right by the beach Sunday nite as the wind climbed to 60 miles and hour and the rain pelted down on the roof. Didn't sleep much but it still was a hoot.
Anxious to see where we head next. Have plans to spiff it up a bit too.
Got any ideas for a name for our van RV? It is white with sage green interior. Ideas so far are- salsa verde, put it in park, love shack, chillin the most, carpe dieum, and rolling avocado.
Went to the gait lab yesterday, I am hoping for enough information to tell me if I am strong enough to get out of a knee brace and/or the AFO brace. Any less bracing would sound good to me. It is quite a hassle to get dressed with all of these gizmos.
Shambhala day was great and it was good to see old friends. As I talk to people there, I sense a great poverty consciousness that bothers me. I keep wanting to do a financial seminar there. Maybe if my health gets better, and they have the time, I could do a one day workshop.
