Some Links That Are Inspiring My Life Today

I thought I would put together a list of the places I have milling around lately.
Blogging has taken a back seat mainly because all the time I was spending on here was me making things for others to look at, so I have taken a mini holiday and visited some amazing lands, I have found interesting people, inspiring new worlds, some funny things, some sad things, and some things to help with my every day life moving forward.  I hope you find something new.
Here's a look.



This is where I check in daily for my morning laugh.  All the photos are from catalogs and its a story about Gary and Elaine's life, hilarious!  I wonder if catalog photographers know about this site???

Gary, do you know why a producer from “Hoarders” just called me?




This is where I have been spending 99% of my time when on the internet.
I joined Goddess Leonies Goddess circle and feel slightly obsessed with the new space I have found myself in.  It is such an inspiring journey platform with just huge amounts of love and fun to draw from.  So I reccommending that anyone who wants to find the best of themselves join too.  Its like a private world with new courses constantly running, on everything from personal development to business to creativity...



This is one of the courses I am doing at the moment and my home is gaining so much from it.  Its really great for appreciating your space your in and with spring coming up I want to have it all done by then so I can just enjoy planting, flowers upon flowers upon flowers!


Here is what Goddess Leonies latest live INTERACTIVE! broadcast did for me, I just loved it!

I took an old painting that was rather BORING!!  no wonder it never sold!
I remembered when Lisa from 'The Wright Stuff' went to a 'Do What You Love Art Retreat' earlier this year and she did a class with 'Flora Bowley'.  The layering and freedom painting Flora teaches really spoke to me because its something I never do, Im what you might call a 'conrolled painter'!  I want to change and this is what I came up with on my first try.




I used everything i could find to make a print and just went nuts, this is the calmest i have felt in months, usually I have the terrible feeling on food allergy leftovers coarsing thru my system which seldom lets me have a relaxed body, but for some reason this totally absorbed me and I was free from that for a few hours...bliss..   and I have another one to do too.


(update) and here it is


this one I did to an old mixed cd from 10 years ago, it was an awesome flashback! 


Goddess Leonie also makes alot! of videos, here is my Fav!!
How can you not go and do creative things after watching this





I have returned back to therapy last week, TAT therapy, it worked best for me when I was very sick last year.  Im basiclly there for my physical reactions to all foods and sprays.  Whenever I would eat, (organic or non organic didnt seem to matter)  my bodies reaction was to start buzzing, shivering and sometimes shaking, within 10 mins of eating, it was unbearable and I was reacting to everything, so I stopped eating without really noticing, just avoiding lunch and snacks and only having breakfast and dinner and got down to a little bitty 48kg eek  so it was time to do something about it, life was being overrun by thoughts of food, or really fear of food because of what it would do to me.
So Tat therapy works on releasing traumas, even things we have no idea are there, it lets things go on a cellular level and basiclly when an allergy like this begins for no reason its stored trauma making it way out and your body gets locked in a pattern.  So its only been 4 days and you have 2 days or letting go (horrible emotional stuff uuck)  I can eat and be still already, its only going to get better, the results are so good from this therapy, take a look at the website linked to the heading or search your own.
Highly highly reccommended.
Lets Eat!!!!




This is a New Zealand Facebook page which I love, an awesome group of Women I have been stalking but yet to communicate with, they have links to the best stuff for Womens Inner Journeys.






And keeping with the Wild theme I have also started buying Wild Sister Magazine which is an E-mag, I never saw myself doing this but here I am loving Issue 2, it comes out every month and is jammed with so much inspirational stuff.  And the best thing is its really cheap$$$ and no trees have to die and you only print the pages you want.  because it comes as a PDF you have all you magazines saved to your computer as a resource for eternity, your baby cannot rip these ones up!
Another group of wonderful women changing the world.



So what book am I reading???

2012
A Clarion Call
Nicolya Christi

I chose this book from the library using the internet catalog without seeing it or knowing anything about it.
So its a blessing when those books send themselves to you as a kind of message.
  I am finding it eerily scarey in some parts because its almost as if this women is writing about me and all the strange things I have been experiencing this last few years.  But then there is comfort in knowing Im not crazy like I thought.  Something big is going on, some huge shift is happening.
This book is great spiritually and technically with all the mathematics of the world which the mayans and aztecs understood so well.  Its alot about how the world calender needs to be round or spiral and as BRAINY!! humans we decided to make it in a straight line.  So for theories on planet happenings this is great. 
 Scared of the 2012 December stuff????  read this,
 it dosent say the world wont end, its more about how are we going to re-start it! 



and another website!!


This website is soooooo nice, its built by normal people who send in their odes to the past thru photos.  Anyone can send a photo in, you hold the old photo in front of the original space and some of the changes are so beautiful.  The links to the past makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.  If you LIKE on facebook, they send you updates every day.  One day Im going to do my own and send it in.





With spring arriving I have soo many seeds down, mainly all flowers at the moment, the vege garden is fully stocked still, my best successive planting ever.  But as usual the seed catalog comes in the mail and I cant help but over order, I just luuuurve growing things, these are my babies and I want to help them all prosper in their journeys



And of course the full moon which has been affecting all of us, especially with all the planets clashing like crazy the last few weeks, what an intense time.  Im just happy I follow a moon calender and know when its the earths business and when its mine, imagine always thinking it was YOU who was having a shitty day!


Well Kitty Cats
Did you get something from that???
I hope so.



See you round like an orange

Where Have I Been??? Playing In Seaweed!

A thousand apologies that I have blipped a bit the last week, I have 80% written the next post for Wild Woman Journeys and will post tonight, but thought I could explain why I have not been up to date.  I have been working, day and night in the winter cold packing mussell spat.
take a look.

There are alot of jobs and businesses out there that Im sure we never even know exist.  The stages in producing something that is never known.  I have one of those jobs, I work with 'mussel spat', the stuff that is needed before mussels can grow on mussel farms.  So here is a look at the job we do every winter.


Kellys family work in the Marine Agiculture business so every winter season we have a quota to fill for mussel spat which is pretty much mussel babies.  The only place in New Zealand that you can get this spat is here in the far north, it washes up on our West coast, a very long beach called 90 Mile Beach. This is where we get onto the beach to start our beach runs, which is driving for miles rain or shine, day or night, looking for dark patches of seaweed in the water


Looking south down the beach.


 The spat washes up on certain winds and moon phases and is collected onto trucks and brought home to be packed.

The spat attaches itself to seaweed and looks like little crystals and like little mussels when they have grown bigger, you can see some in this photo, attached to the left of this seaweed.
So spat is a crystal like thing and it is attached to the seaweed, it is not the seaweed!

working with seaweed isnt as gross as it sounds, its so fresh from the sea so it dosent smell, maybe just a bit cold when its midnight and your in a cold garage sorting the wet stuff with an aching back from hours of work that you question your sanity.

it has to be sorted to remove sticks, sponge and shiny weeds, the stuff on the floor is rubbish and is returned back to the beach.

Somedays its a very messy job


there are sooo many types of seaweed all tangled together

and we use a conveyor to sort it so it can be packed in 10kg bags

which are packed on ice into a truck and then delivered all over NZ to the mussel farms

like this, you can see the mussels hanging down on the vertical ropes


so next time you eat some New Zealand Green Lipped Mussels you know where they have come from


and you also know my reason for being just a little bit late with my E-Life, I guess the real life will always come first in the end, gotta make the moneys people!
Spat has NO routine, it ruins many a party of trip away with its ability to turn up just when you have something awesome organised, spat waits for no man!
Thats why Kelly refuses to do it anymore, and went and got another job!
Me?  I still love it xxx

So see you all again tonight
with our new Wild Women Topic

*GRACE*

Love Ya
