Sunday Scribblings #159 -- Language

LANGUAGE:

1. Communication of thoughts and feelings through a system of arbitrary signals, such as voice sounds, gestures, or written symbols. System used by nation, people.

3. Body language; kinesics.

7. The manner or means of communication between living creatures other than humans: the language of dolphins.

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th ed. copyright

I have always been confused about LANGUAGE. The first language I knew was FEELINGs. That was quickly replaced with WORDS - of the Hebrew variety and then French and then English. I always found all of these difficult although I have mastered them.

I am still mastering Patriarchy. It's not my MOTHER Tongue. However it has been useful in helping me decipher REALity. In this country we are blessed to live in and upon.

I am just reMEMBERing my MOTHER Tongue. It was hidden away for so long. She is reEMERGing. With every book, every meeting, every HER-STORY, I am reMINDing myself of what I KNOW in my BONES.

Lately, I am reDISCOVERing another language. Resonated with it in the Dog Whisperer. Encountered it again in Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist. How does he put it? The language WITH-out words - the UNIVERSAL language. EnerCHI. Good, good, good - good vibrations!!!! (Beach Boys - YAY!!!)

I watch the four legged souls who share my sacred space. Each of them here to teach me and Guide ME about how I BE. The MONKEY in me. How my body language speaks LOUDER than words. How I can say NO-thing with my mouth. How my thoughts and LOVE-ing intentions set things off into motion. How to VIBRATE from the INside OUT. How to create HEAT - fire skill very useful. How to heal and BE in the MOMENT and MEDITATE, "...Mediate ....Alleviate .....Try not to hate .....Love your mate" (lyrics from INXS) Tee hee!!!

I make certain adjustments - CHANGES - with a little more LOVE - it gets me NOwhere to say NO. I am OPEN. I accept.

Wishing you,
Peace & Love, Just Because,

Friday, Friday

Wow!!! The week is flying by.

So many things I'd like to share - writing a little bit each day in an attempt to flesh out my stories and add the necessary details in order to be clear. Soon, I will post and share.

I have been slowly reintegrating back into my life - adapting to the ElectroMagnetic Fields and living in a city and the different sounds of my environment. I have been spending SLOW MO time with my housemates (GingerMama and Ruby Meow, Zeko Meow and Elly Meow) as they remind me of what is truly important. This moment, and the next.

I have been warned. The days of living without the AirConditioner on are almost over. I am relishing the windows open and the breezes that waft through and the noise of the neighborhood and its smaller residents. The chirping of birds, and the strange sounds the squirrels make as they jump from tree limb to tree limb on the front lawn. Soaking it all in before I get enclosed in the Box again.

Today, my parents are coming over. We are going to the Ocean for a healing dip into the Water. It is time. Time to release the saliva still stuck in my arm from SAM the MAN. Time to release the tensions and MAMA-dramas which seem to envelop Mom and Dad especially after they go visit the grandkids.


We are going to immerse ourselves into the Ocean and flow with the current and allow our muscles to relax and just BE. Through the process of osmosis, water molecules will move across our skin membrane to the higher levels of salt concentration in the Ocean. Because we have a high salt content in our own blood - the change to our internal environment is subtle - a detoxification of the Natural kind.


A few years ago, Noah and I took Dad to the Dead Sea in Israel. The Dead Sea is 8.6 times as salty as the ocean. In this water, the body floats right up to the surface. When you walk out of the water, you skin feels soft and silky. (This is a picture of Dad at Laughter Yoga in Israel. He's doing Lion Laughter. Very good, very good, Yay!!!)

This year, in preparation of birthing at home, we installed a SaltWater Pool System. Guess we might like more salt than others.... which is funny, since I never use salt when I cook. Tee hee!!!

DARE to DREAM

I DREAMED A DREAM

It feels so good when people make decisions
from their hearts, when the truth just bursts out,
when you feel good from the inside, and vibe
with love.

I had tears watching this tonight.

And I love this Feisty Goddess Susan Boyle.
What an IN-spiration.

Thank you to Goddess Lisa of Amazing Births
for this AWEsome ripple.

I am so grateful. I am so blessed.

Wishing you,

Peace & Love, Just Because,

Angels Everywhere

This is the angel who healed me on Monday - Goddess Brooke. I met her in Concourse C at the Nashville Airport - in the midst of all the pandemonium - Spring Break, end of the Country Music Awards, a chess championship, delayed and cancelled flights - I found her little piece of heaven.

Right across from the Food Court in Terminal C, with an hour to go before a flight, I found the Massage Bar. Signed up for a Combo Massage (Single Shot and Foot Massage and Heat Therapy).

Goddess Brooke called my name and we started with a foot massage. She seated me in this comfy lounge chair and almost flipped me over. Tee hee!!! She placed a heated flax seed shoulder wrap around my neck and put a soothing eye pillow to shield me from the elements. She put these little booties on my toes and started to massage my heel and the sole/Souls of my feet.

Goddess Brooke is a very talented healer as well as a little Cutie!!! She has a great demeanor, a smile in her eyes and a soft spoken happy attitude. Her touch is light yet strong. She is sensitive and intuitively picks up everything that is going on in your body once you relax into her arms.

Her technique was so exquisite. When seated in my half seat, sheltered from the airport world, she rubbed and explored. She found tension and applied slight pressure on the spot and held on. Just the right amount of laying on hands. Enough so that I could feel her presence and take in her energy at my own pace. Then she would stretch my skin, a little to the left, a little to the right. Feeling the wonderful heat of her hands and my body realigning and loosening up. The space she was creating for my body to heal itself - slowly manipulating my skin and bringing awareness to the space that needed love - it was a divine experience.

I finished my massage, paid with pleasure, peed in the bathroom conveniently located next door and heard the final boarding call for my flight.

What great timing!!! Walked onto my flight with my cheeks red and all this energy coursing in my body. Found a seat in the second row with Goddesses In Real Life Brittaney and Angel.

What a KO-inkidink!!!

Thank you Goddess Brooke, my curandera sister. You will surely see me again on my next layover.

Wishing you,
Peace & Love, Just Because,
Goddess Diana

Bling Souvenirs

I get off the Southwest airplane in Orlando looking for my connection to Fort Lauderdale. The airport is packed full of people. I find a departures and gate connection board and notice how many flights are cancelled or delayed. So many that my next flight in 40 minutes has no room on this board. Wandering in search....

I head off to the bathroom to change my water. Release from the airplane and renew by taking another swig from my bottle of water. On my way to the Food Court and right across from my next departing gate, I see a booth full of colors - tshirts, tank tops, hats - full of bling bling. I walk by, absorbing the beauty of the color spectrum when Carlos tells me - "all these shirts are customizable."

I spot a cat and a fairy. Hmm, the wheels in my head start to turn. Carlos entices me with - "and look at the wonderful fabrics on my shirts and the colors."

I have already spotted a lovely green and hot pink tank top - good quality, great cotton, not made in China.

"For $5.00 more, we can customize your name on it " - Carlos sweetens the deal - "and it only takes 2 minutes."

That's all I've got as I hear them call out for boarding on my plane. I place my order and Carlos lovingly and patiently gets the font and letters and images and makes me two beautiful tank tops.

What a great gift!!! Personalized customized bling bling merchandise. What a concept. Carlos gives me his card - he and his wife Terri Diaz are the owners and designers of this little gem. Carlos tells me he hopes to be in airports all over and that I will soon be able to place any future orders online at his website. What a great way to do business WSM Carlos and what a nifty gift, from me to me. Tee hee!!!
