Flowers and Plants!
Topic: Home
White Ginger flowers smell soooooooooooo good! This bouquet is on my altar. I would be happy to just stand next to them all day long sniffing them, LOL. When I walk into my home, I smell them. When I come out of the shower, when I wake up, as I go to sleep, I smell them. They have this scent of vanilla cream with a just a drop of fruit juice in it... heavenly. The only thing is that they wilt and die pretty quickly, so you just have to have a lot of them, so you can pick them once a week and have on going heaven scent in your home!

Topic: Creatures  Every found this praying mantis in our compost bucket. You can't really see it in the picture, but it was kind of brown and metallic green. I have seen brown or green praying mantises but never one with this combination of spectacular colors! I wish I showed better in the photo, but I will never forget it! Hope it enjoyed the rotting produce, LOL.

Merry Summer Solstice to All!
Topic: Celebrations
To the left is our "Wicker Man" who for us, represents God, and we honor him and his power of the sun by lighting him ablaze on the longest day of the year. We wrote on pieces of paper the things we want to let go of, and put them in the man's center.

So here I am, petitioning to the divine. So, I am sorry for whatever I have done to create this block, these unwanted energies. Please forgive me. I love you, and know that you love me unconditionally, regardless of how I feel or what situation I have created for myself. I am sorry that I am having a difficult time feeling gratitude this morning, and wanting to be somewhere other than where I am. I am sorry I have not been a respectful mother this morning, and have treated my children in a way that I know is not right. Please forgive me. My intellect and memories have gotten in my way of my experiencing divine love, purity and bliss, and therefor my children have suffered this morning. I am sorry. Please forgive me. I ask for these energies to be transmuted to pure light, so that my children and I can experience love in the way we were always meant to, and the freedom of seeing with the eyes of God, where everything and everyone is perfect. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU!

Topic: Beautiful Plant Life
I have been rereading "Raising Your Spirited Child" by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka and it is a nice reminder of the unique temperaments that each of us individuals have. I suspect that Every may be more of an introvert than an extrovert, and I am still split down the middle in figuring which one I lean towards more. Not sure about little Kenny yet. But it is a great book and gives great practical suggestions on relating to our children in a more peaceful manner. I would recommend it to all families who are curious, regardless of whether their child(ren) are "spirited" or not. I discovered that *I* am spirited and I now have a better understanding of my own temperament and personality style. It helps me to meet my needs and the needs of my children if I am first able to recognize what those needs are!
Our Nature Walk So it stopped raining and we did indeed wander outside for quite some time! I took the camera with me and we got some great shots of our little adventure! This first photo is of a Bird of Paradise flower. Beautiful isn't it?
Another beautiful Bird of Paradise flower
A N A N A S !
Bilimbines, otherwise known as Starfruit. Yum, I love these, used to eat them a lot as a kid and just recently started to enjoy them again!
Achiote, otherwise known as Annato. The seeds inside the little pods are used for dying, or in cooking, like making red rice, a staple in Chamorro cuisine.
Our garden is gradually developing!

Happy Mothers' Day!
Topic: Ho'oponopono
Peace to all who represent motherhood in any form! Lets celebrate together and feel good about this important role we serve. How blessed we are to have such wise teachers (our children) to guide us on our journey through parenthood. To the right is a photo of my belly at the end of Kenny's pregnancy, with Henna art done by my dear friend Amanda. It came out beautiful! I began my day with, "Thank you! For...whatever. Everything!" Another day to love. Ho'oponopono is still working. Constantly saying "I love you", "I'm sorry", "Please forgive me", and "Thank you" WORKS. My days are now filled with more fun and laughter, and less seriousness and planning. I feel kind of silly sometimes, if not just plain crazy, lol! Problems still arise, though I am now beginning to really see how all these things that I'd been perceiving to be "problems" are really opportunities. Opportunities to be free and clear of old memories that we hang on to. Before, these memories and emotions would come up and I'd feel crappy about them, like "WHY am I thinking this stuff??" "WHY do I feel this way??" I'd try to rationalize them and then push them aside, trying to ignore or forget about it. The grudge would still stick to me though. How wonderful to finally know how to set myself and others free of this ICK! To realize that I can ERASE these things! The more I can admit that I am NOT in control, and stop trying to be, the EASIER life feels. My emotions and circumstances that were troubling me have been overridden by love, peace, and joy. It is such a relief! Do any of us realize how much ICK is stuck to us? It dates back through relatives, ancestors, all the way to when we started as just bacteria. Memories... I am totally experiencing what I would describe as a cleanse. When we are stuck, we are just stuck. But we can set ourselves free.

"Don't worry mom, I got this. I got this down, while eating too!"
We also cut a big bunch of red ginger to go on the kitchen table. I just love how vibrant the red is, it is actually more of a magenta, and they just make me feel...ALIVE. Cheerful and bright. Womanly. There is a huge patch of these along the sidewalk outside, they are basically constantly producing, so I almost ALWAYS have these in my house! I just love flowers. Not only do they brighten up a room and add life to any home, but they give me a sense of comfort and safety. Like when life is basically upsidedown, at least I've got some beautiful flowers around my house to look at! 
Summer Solstice 2008! And an interesting one at that, with Mercury just out of retrograde, we just had a full moon two nights ago, Neptune is still in retrograde, etc... Things have been crazy lately, lots of difficult emotions have come up, lots of growth and transformation, and LOTS of letting go. 
It is a symbol of taking our worries and sending them off in the smoke of the fire, for the divine to take care of. We lift ourselves of burdens and weight. I have been feeling more depressed and filled with moments of rage than usual lately, and I hope to see that lift now. Every is slowly but surely, letting go of "Nah Nah" (yes, we've still been nursing!), and Kenny, is letting go of crawling, as he is practically walking now! So we cast a circle around the Wicker Man, thanked the divine and all the 
elements that surround us, and announced what we were letting go of. Every literally kissed Nah Nah goodbye, lol. We "dressed" the Wicker Man and then lit him ablaze. It was a beautiful flame, and both kids were fascinated as usual by the power and wonder of fire. We sat on a blanket eating biscuits and drumming till the flame went out. Totally a last minute celebration, but it was great! Merry Solstice to all! 
Today was one of those days I woke up feeling "BLAH" and didn't really want to go through with the day if you know what I mean. I didn't feel like being a mother, and both kids were on my last nerve. I was basically choosing to be annoyed, irritable, resentful, apathetic, and depressed. I was feeling the "Why me??" for sure. Why do I have to watch both kids everyday? Why don't I get a break? Why don't I have any money? Well, because I have chosen these things I guess. Writing where I know others will be reading allows me to feel a bit more accountable and the answers to my questions seem pretty obvious. Maybe I will choose something different, who knows? Why do I feel such a big block of negative energy regarding money and my life? More importantly, how do I transform that energy? 
See the "breathe" and "smile" signs? I can't wait to paint the walls!! That will come in time though 
Any ideas on colors? I'm really wanting an earthy, light yellow, maybe some beige/brownish with orange tint, maybe some sage/mint green or something...not sure yet. 
I love days like today. The weather is cool, gray, breezy with scattered showers. I am having some "calming" Yogi Tea and some of my homemade carrot-zucchini bread with strawberry jam and butter. Yum! There's nothing like good food, drink, weather, music and company all in one! Hehe, and the company is just my usual crew of myself, Kenny, and Every. Kenny is asleep on my back, Every is watching TV (we are trying to cut way down!), playing with his toys and eating his share of jam and bread. If it stops raining we'll go outside on a nature exploration, since it's nice and overcast. We'll probably hunt for frogs, snails, lizards, spiders, and all the other lovely little creatures Every so dearly loves and is fascinated by. If it doesn't stop, then we will stay indoors and most likely paint and bake cookies or something. I need to make sure I get physical activity into Every's body though, otherwise he (and I) will go caput. 
B
MANGO!!!!
Mmm! Fresh baked bread is the best! This one is a carrot and zucchini "flower" loaf that Every and I made. I'll post the recipe when I get a chance! 
I made amends with a dear friend this morning and man does it feel good. And this is how I did it. At first I was afraid of calling. I was hoping the universe would heal the tension in a way that didn't involve me actually having to face her. Which doesn't make any sense to me now. But as I repeated the phrases "I love you" "thank you" "I'm sorry" and "Please forgive me" I began to actually feel these things. And suddenly I wanted to call her. So I acted on it. I picked up the phone, apologized from the bottom of my heart and asked for her forgiveness for whatever hurt I may have caused her or anyone else. There were tears and of course, she accepted my apology and also expressed gratitude. It felt wonderful. I did not care about being right or wrong anymore, I just wanted peace. I really felt the power of love in friendship. When I let go of my pride and ego, I I was able to take responsibility for having participated in the "problem" and then all the negative energies were released. We were laughing and wishing we were face to face so we could be hugging. And it is true. Only, and ONLY LOVE can release these energies and replace them with inspiration. What a beautiful gift. Thank you to all those in my life who help me to learn about forgiveness.
