GMO battle continues

   I wanted to share the clip for the video of the Bill Maher show where he speaks about Obama backing out of labelling GMO foods.  I had the email this morning when I woke up via Organic Consumers.  Here is my old post about Monsanto- millions against... Nothing's changed.  Or if it has, it's just getting worse.

Reiki?

  Other than feeling like a ball of yarn, I feel a closing in.  A wall, with turmoil inside.  I'm doing all these things to help.  Herbs.  Running.  Kick boxing.  Writing.  Trying to let the stress just go away.  Trying to enjoy everything around me.  To relax.
  I pray at night.  That might be surprising.  But I do.  And yet each morning I greet the day with a thank you to the earth.  It's wonderful to stand outside and look up at the stars.  It's wonderful to stand in the morning sun and watch the flowers wake up.
  But, my patience is still thin.  Anger, that I had not before is bubbling and irritating.  I feel ragged and worn. A friend of mine suggested Reiki and I'm going to try it.  I believe that it will help open up blocks that I have. I have to believe.  Because at some point over the last three years I have lost an intricate part of myself.

Full Circle

  Well, co op is over.  But school is not for us.  I'll school through the summer, to keep things fresh.  Plus, we always do a lot of outdoor exploring and learning.
  As for other things.  I feel like I have come full circle.  I spoke about my marriage some quite awhile ago.    Does the trust and lasting love that gets you through the rough spots, eventually come?  And when?  After the children are grown?  In the beginning of your journey?  Because the journey changes.  In the past three years, I feel as if I've been to hell and back.  Personally at least.  This spring I feel the same way.  It's a pattern that we are stuck in.  And here we go again.
  For me, I don't know the answers to those questions.
 

Meanderings

  I'm never here, I know.  I have once more combined my other blog about health, back to this one.  It's honestly too much work for me to keep two, they are both part of me, I'm working now and making a serious attempt to write my book.  I'm going to make the effort to stop here weekly.

Thanksgiving 2011

  What a nice holiday.  I will clap myself on the back and say the food was good.  I tried to make everyone's favourites.   I hope everyone had a wonderful one with family and friends.  My inlaws were here.  It was a nice visit, though it had some tense days.  Schooling was of course brought up, and that set the tone for the week.  Nothing was mentioned aloud of our eating, but the whispering was there, and that was annoying.  I held my tongue for once.  I really miss being around the rest of our family during the holidays.  It's a large and loud family.  Things are fun and interesting!
 
   I realized today that I have to plan the school week.  I completely forgot.  I'm happy I filed away the last week of school before holiday vacation.  I'm happy with our progress, so there are no real complaints.  This will possibly be a review week.

  Today I also reorganized my kitchen.  The cupboards should flow much nicer now.  Of course I went to the wrong one at least three times already.  Next I need to organize the guest room and office closets.  They bug me.

  On that note, a good friend of mine had her baby on Thanksgiving.  What a surprise.  I am very happy for her.  It's bitter-sweet and maybe that's wrong, but it's how I feel.  I wonder if I shall ever get past that.
