I like to know & keep in touch with the people on my Tribe Friends List. So while I am honored by all friend invites, I never accept them until I have spent some time talking to someone. I am always happy to meet new people so if you are interested in being my friend spend some time posting with me in a tribe we share or send me a PM and we can get to know each other.

When (if) I grow up, I want to be just like SV. Full of common sense and practical knowledge of the general workings of tribe, her advice has always been spot-on.
Then's there's that other aspect of her personality - her blogs are filled with her magical voice and soul searchings that always seem to hit home for me. So, here's to SV. Tribe most certainly wouldn't be the same without her. August 1, 2007
You are a phenomenally amazing woman, and I love you!!!!!!!!!! I appreciate your introspection, your honesty, your questing nature, your ability to explore the deepest depths (and live to tell the tale), and your otherworldly regenerative and transformational powers. You're a very extraordinary person -- one in a bazillion!
PHENOMENAL WOMAN
about me
I am not nice, hopefully kind. I have had too many people with expectations of "nice" put on me. Or people calling me "nice" I am not comfortable with the label "nice" I think it kind of makes things about me being polite or trying to make someone feel good. When I tell someone I think they are great and they say oh you are nice...well that seems to me to sort of negate the compliment, as if I said it to be nice instead of because I really think it, instead of because they are great and I noticed. I am NOT nice. I do not say things to be nice. I do not value niceness very much. Sure it ranks above meanness or hatefullness but way way lower than Kindness and honesty and sincerity and authenticity and individuality.
Don't ask if you don't want to know. I believe that honesty is the kind thing even when it isn't the "nice thing."

"Don't believe me, don't believe yourself, and don't believe anyone else. By not believing, whatever is untrue will disappear like smoke in this world of illusion. Everything is what it is. You don't need to justify what is true; you don't need to explain it. What is true doesn't need anyone's support."

I spent some time yesterday quietly sorting beads. I had a bag of beads with 5 colors in it or something and poured it onto a plate. It seemed really chaotic but I figured I'd grab the color that jumped out at me the most and just pull those out. When I was done the whole scene seemed changed and a different color stood out so I removed all of those. I continued this until they were all neatly sorted.

It occurs to me that life is alot like that. If you try to take in everything it's chaotic and there are things you don't even notice. But if you can manage to pick out something you can take care of and get out of the picture it changes the whole landscape and eventually if you keep going that chaotic mess is neatly put away.
Padia sent me this awesome TED talk yesterday www.ted.com/talks/lang/e...he_earth.html

It really got me thinking about how much I talk. Communication is a passion of mine, and I do LOVE my job even the parts where I'm talking to people about very difficult things during their very stressful situations. But, I've decided that I want more quiet in my life. In all kinds of areas. I'm going on a stress cleanse Here are the guidelines I've come up with so far As little as possible of the following: Talking Noise artificial lights phones(including the computery stuff on mine) computers(obviously work will require some, and I will check into tribe briefly because I do care about keeping it active and taking care of my tribes) TVs(I think I watched one movie in the last month and listened to a bit of Eddie Izzard so this won't be a big chance) I will do the following as much as possible: Sleep Sleep Sleep snuggle small boys snuggle my sweetie pet kitties play read nothing eat peaches and strawberries laugh smile bead be outside Eat breakfast with my boys every morning ~~~ I'm sure there are more, basically I am going to do my best to simplify for the next month. Not to do more than needs to be done. Not to say more than needs to be said. Not to have more going on than needs to be going on, even if I'm not doing it. I will be extremely busy for the next month at work. So this seems like a good step to take to try to make that as little stress as possible and also to make my non work time as simply and restful and nurturing as possible. This morning I got to begin my stress siesta by playing with my Fur~Niece, isn't she beautiful?!?
Ya know how you have that fear? You know the one. The one that reaches deep down inside of you and even hints of it freak you out?

Then it begins and you follow it to the scary place it lives deep inside of you and instead of finding the terror and helplessness you feared, you find resolution, mobilization and relief that it has begun. Yeah, like that.
