the Good Muse

Authentic Spirituality ->

The function of authentic spirituality
is not to provide security and solace,
but to encourage the seeker to venture out
on the lonely and difficult path of self-knowledge.
So do not be intimidated.
Have confidence in your own spiritual potentiality,
your ability to find your own unique way

~John Snelling

Freaks ->

The old ways are dead.
And you need people around you who concur.
That means hanging out more with the creative people,
the freaks, the real visionaries, than you’re already doing.
Thinking more about what their needs are,
and responding accordingly.
Avoid the dullards; avoid the folk who play it safe.
They can’t help you any more.
Their stability model no longer offers that much stability.
They are extinct, they are extinction

~Hugh Macleod

Destiny ->

Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny...
you have something to fulfill,
some message to be delivered,
some work to be completed.

You are not here accidentally, you are here meaningfully.
There is purpose behind you.
The whole intends to do something through you.

~Osho

Coming out

Well…, um…, err.., ok – I’ll just say it. I’m Bi….kinda
I now have a Mac…, and I’m still into my PC too.
Well… I guess I should have saw it coming…,
I like Coke and Pepsi (though I prefer Coke).
I’m looking forward to exploring my destiny in this new part of my life.

25 random things (I never do these…)

Rules: Once you’ve read this, you are supposed to blog your own with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. it’s because I want to know more about you. Hopefully people will blog their own 25 random things
————————————————————————————————————
I was born & raised in California and lived there most of my life (and yes, I did inhale). Now I’m in Hawaii

For summer school for classes I took rock climbing and the next summer it was backpacking, ahh – the good old days (loved those Tang screwdrivers)

I was in 2 or 3 high school musicals but the leads kept getting in the way of my fame

I was in the navy but I hated it so I went awol, afterward we agreed it was best that we part company, so we did.

2003 was a bad year (but maybe there were some good wines… I dunno) I wreaked my motorcycle coming within an inch of moving on to the next life. Shortly after graduating from wheelchair and walker to crutches I sprained my ‘good’ ankle negotiating some stairs which reintroduced me to Mr.
Walker & Mr. Wheelchair. It took a year to get this Humpty Dumpty back together again. To top it all off my mother died so I think you’ll understand why I call it the year of living a country song. It was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I used to have my own business with two houses but lost it all after my wreck, and…. I’m happier now

I always wanted to be a pilot, am certified scuba diver, have my contractors’ license and had my real estate license. Stay tuned for what’s next

I taught MacGyver everything he knew (ok, not really but actually I’m pretty damn clever) so I might be handy to have around after a plane wreck, which leads to…

I love watching Lost

I couldn’t swim til I was about 12 but have always loved dolphins, real ones, not the football team (but I’m sure they’re a great bunch of fellows)

Sadly, I was born without the ‘sports’ gene though I was on the football team for a season (my position was “Left Out”)

I’ve been accused of being a lesbian in a man’s body, hmmmm, maybe I am

Fortunately, this last year I finally found the woman of my dreams (and she’s not a lesbian), Unfortunately…, she is with someone else.

I had an AVM in my brain that was reduced in size after two bouts of radiation. I looked like a cat with the mange after treatments. I even shaved my head. To some – this explains alot

I’m not really into cats (especially ones with the mange or that look like it – oh, and what’s with all the attitude) Besides I’m not grown up enough for other pets

But I do have two daughters that amaze me. They even survived childhood with me. They’re better than pets. When I grow up, I want to be like them

Ok, actually three daughters. I was a sperm donor for a lovely couple but I am not part of her life

I used to go to church, religiously… so now I don’t throw rocks, I just listen to rock instead

I love music but I’m not particularly into jazz or cRAP. Country is for road trips

I used to hate dancing but now I understand that it is a moving meditation that helps bring you into the moment that is NOW.

A couple years back I grew out my hair, and then I had dreadlocks (recently cut off in a personal ceremony by the ocean). Now I’m growing out my hair and it’s crazy – curly

I used to be pierced more than once

I get excited when good things happen to other people. I also get excited when good things happen to me

Quite often I am a life coach for others, it’s by accident – it just happens

I believe in destiny. I don’t believe you can make a wrong choice, it’s just another way to get where you are goin

So there you have it
