My Testimonials

May 4, 2008
One of the things I love the most about Mama B is how she courageously seems to fall more and more in love with the earth family with every breath, ready and willing for her heart to be completely , utterly broken open. She has apparently tapped into Gaian free energy source that enables her to multitask (in cooperation with all life) a remarkable amount of projects promoting the quality of joy and healing on the planet. She is the super sexy fun version of living embodied permaculture. And she is pretty tight with certain rain spirits FYI.

She looks really good in red.

I don't want to objectify her with my male gaze but in my subjective opinion she's the BOMB!

In the final days there came into the people ancient souls that were as a burning flower of truth to those around them, and illuminated their understanding.
One of these took the form of a shapely lass in a red negligee'.

about me
Hmmm... I'd prefer that we got to know each other in person so there was some intonation available but this is what we have. So...
I am an odd bird. I walk in many worlds. I teach high school by day and look almost as "normal" as other teachers but my true creative self expression is exotic, esoteric, wild, and radiant. I sometimes feel like I lead a schizophrenic life. I aspire towards being an earthy mama of beautiful babes in a quiet place off the grid but I live in LA and spend more time by myself in my car than I do in my garden. I pride myself on being articulate, well educated, and a strong thinker but sometimes it gets in my way such that I forget that emotions are not just "a crutch for the weak" and then I get a tsunami of feeling and don't really know what to do with it. I am practical and aspire towards having so many skills that I am completely indespensible in the new paradigm (growing food, beekeeping, building shelter, making fiber and cloth, raising critters and babies and tending to friends and family for similar things). In the meantime I'm creating structures so I can travel and play and eventually buy a home to build a lush food forest and clearly be living the life of my dreams.

My Blog

Ah, so amazing. My mind was expanded, my booty was shaken, and my heart was doing flips. It was a roller coaster this year. Some things that shook me up were learning that the rate of breast cancer has gone from 1 in 25 some 50 or so years ago to 1 in 7 now and is predicted to be 1 in 3 in the next decade or so. WHAT ARE WE DOING TO OURSELVES AND OUR EARTH THAT THIS IS SO?
Also shaken up by John Todd and his INCREDIBLE working examples of living machines turning municipal sewage into eco... read more

Ah, back to "the real world". I've been in traffic more hours than I care to count, run around getting my beloved cat doctored from his cancer (spending an incredible amount of money), grieved the loss of one of my good friends who died in a freak accident, created the environment in my classroom for the entire year, spent quality time with one friend and been running around with meetings and such. sigh... The playa was perfect for me this year. Surrounded by people I loved (so many I didn... read more
