waveyoga — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:52:21 GMT

I was reading my Blog from last year and saw that a year ago I had this title and thought," how odd.." No rain here. The forecast was for sun all week. This morning I awaken to rain all over the place.. Seattle is covered in RAIN!!!!!!! How odd! A year ago we had rain out of the blue and here we are again! had decided to read my blog to see how I felt and what i was doing about life a year ago. For this birthday I am giving my self health! A massage, a series of workouts, more focus with dance and yoga training. Then the big move to CR and across the sound. Get those umbrellas out! And more!

more goes on

Happy Weekend Friends Life Changes..

waveyoga — Thu, 21 May 2009 13:58:54 GMT

Hello, I am just catching up with a few things. BIG NEWS my mother is in a respite center. I do not need to go see her or care fo rher for awhiel. ilost a week of my life struggling with that. Those oof you who know me from when I was in that city know it was not a good chapter in my life. The uinterviews I had to pass on.. my sleep deprived persona could not handle it.. are gone. I lost out on my workouts between sleep deprivation adnthen the gym changed it scheduel with no notice. I am really bummed. It takes such concentration andhumiliation to go to gym adn knwoit will be 3 weeks before any chnge is apparent.. now I hav eto do that 3 weeks agaqin. Please! Do no tsay," you kno w it will happen, so that should be motiviation to get to another gym.." DAMN them! They messed up a scheduel. i was getting into the groove.. and now there is just" oh siorry". They refused to put the membership on hold.. so I am quitting,. I am pissed. The yoga classes were terrible and I was tryign to pretend that they were ok, bu tthey ar eNOT. This week ends with me ssubstituting 4 day sin a school in same place for one teacher .. I am on their third string.. and they dotn pay very well.. So next week I shall refuse to go back.. and grab some public school money ( 27.00 $ difference per day) which I need and I need their references which I had been working on. Folklife and a sweet weekend beckon. I intend to fdo yoga and bike with gusto. may your days be bright.

2 friends died in 2 days

waveyoga — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 19:20:08 GMT

I get a daily newsletter from my high school. One man went to the beach for his 2 annually scheduled weeks and on his checkout day after paying apparently went and lay down and died with a heart attack. He was alone. he was single. Today I was talking to Breitenbush on the phone and as I moved I saw an email title about Harold.. the pony tailed guy .. I asked what was with him.. he died of cancer, diagnosed and quickly spread.. he died at Breitenbush with his friend saround him. Namaste friends.. life here is short in eternity long larry I honor you for taking that beach trip annnually.. you were a friend and a good man. had things gone differently we may have met on that beach.. I shall be at a beach today iin honor of both. Thank you friends for being friends on this pathway in life.

Ijust looked up and in more appreciation of the sunrise.. there goes a plane with the airstreaks which trail behind it. It is headed due south stright through my middle of my window view.. away, away.. I have been thinkign about going away. havent yet.I keep getting obligations which do not give me the 4 days I coudl use to have a very nice trip to Breitenbush. This week I work WE/Th and likely FR. I had yesterday off by surprise and am counting on today off as I am a substitute teacher and its late for a call. Life is good. I began again my resolutions and in a deeper fashion.. easy to do when yoiu continually buy veggies.. just add a few more. Yoga sunrise coming up soon. Have a lovely day all. C

FEAR it's just..

waveyoga — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 02:26:37 GMT

So I just met a really nice person via internet dating. He is a teacher and an athlete. He and I spent yesterday ( not night.. over at 11PM) and today together. He left and called me back and asked me if I woudl like to go out later.. to a movie, but not to my dance party. Fine, I said had to nap. Hung up. Story over. I began making dinner. My doorbell rings.. I almost think it is him.. It rings again.. I walk slowly down thehall to the door adn ask very quietly "who is it? It just didnt seem right.. I am intuitive. An ipod plays a country music thing about a woman leaving a man.. I stand fixed, freaked. Then I hear as though a man has walked a few steps away," yeah I only have about 5 bucks anyway.." It sounds drunk and twangy. We argue about my address.. I am shaking. They were going to come right away. It has been moer than an hour. I am sure he is gone. They can't do anything anyway. It's just unsettling. I have had so much change in the last year. This is my first person to date who liked me and wanted to go out again.. I live in a very nice apartment building, amid many really nice houses. This is not my date!'It's random wierneess. PS I got thi s pix from the internet, but it's how my street looked for 7 days.

Dip Emergency!! Christmas life

waveyoga — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 22:19:48 GMT

OK I am snowed in. Last night I blew a fuse when I was on a cleaning streak.. vaccuum going, a small space heater going. I can overcome! reset fuse etc... had night alone. Got up early alone. Went to Mass in dark to a lovely ceremony.. walked over ice and snow. Now I am recovering from my latest Christmas adventure.. I was just making clam dip.. You know 1 container of cottage cheese i1envelope of onion soup.. dry 2 small pieces of garlic Whirl> how easy is that? Ok, well, it's a little stiff and so lots of it stuck to the inside of the blender. I got a nice spatula to scrape it out. The spatula got stuck on one blade. I couldn't get it out. !!! How silly is that? Then I had dip on my hands, and sleeves.... Of course I am smart, so I unscrew the bottom of the blender, dip drips all over everything.. mostly the counter and my pants! As I am trying to recover and keep it off the floor the phone rings!!! I hav eto run to the phone and yell "hello" My friend was taken aback. ok ok it's not so funny! Now I am washing dip smudged clothes! snowed in.. you have choices.. have fun and love or get bored.. I am into having as much fun and life as I can. I just watched Marigold a movie rentd from Hollywood Video. i will not tell you the ending.. it's great.

Blessings to My Friends this Holiday

waveyoga — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 14:16:25 GMT

Happy Thanksgiving I am doing ok. It has been a year since i knew I was coming back to Seattle. Thank you for those who were my friends as I languished in a far away place and returned back here. Life change takes so much energy and movement on the change wheel. I am blessed so many of you played a part in my life. There is so much more to feel blessed about . I shall likely post later. My sick cold/flu has left me in a state of malaise and I am going to nestle into this feeling and meditate, not shop anymore ( I am done) and complete some tax work for this year. In this year and time of economic corporate crisis, I urge you to reach out in appreciation to your families and friends whom you feel comfortable with . namaste Cathy

Catch Up Time

waveyoga — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 23:04:10 GMT

Hello, I haven't written in a blog for awhile. I have been writing in several tribes, but just have not sat down and written in my own blog. Life is going on in a lovely sunny fall in Seattle. I am substitute teaching, not very much right now, but a little.Each time I am thanked and asked to come back when they need me. I attended the Madrona Mind Body Institute for their Body Prayer workshop and opening celebration. I liek that way of doign the dance.. it's more clean to me. I have just gotten over, well, still getting over another cold, this one is shorter and less debilitating. Thus exercise has not been a priority. I walked a lot in Gasworks and found to my sadness, that many homeless people live there now. I love this city, but it's cruelty to low income people and those with few jobs is harsh. I have no great revelations. Energy comes from exercise which comes from making the effort. I keep doing some but not as much as I choose to do. I am maybe being too hard on myself as I have been applying for jobs and substitute teaching and also trying new things.. all energy taking activities. I have had 2 massages. One was a last minute cancelation.. she didnt do deep tissue, which is what I had wanted. Well, friends, that's about it. Oh one thing. I got into a tangle with a person on tribe in Star People.. I tried to warn a woman who was going to meet some guy.. that he wasn't a good person to fly across country to visit. I had seen his styel in a few tribes. She lambashed me. Just a couple days ago I got that email, " You were right about...." uuugh I knew I was right. Peopel do leave strong clues about their character and style on the internet. And I am intuitive. It is good to hear she was not hurt. OK I f you ar ein Seattle, I coudl use some company fo rwalks, or going to a gym or to volunteer usher at Christmas carol. Namaste Cathy

Soul Dance... Want to Talk About It

waveyoga — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 13:58:33 GMT

I just got back from a lovely weekend in Port Townsend at a new Mind/Body Institute with a dance workshop from Zuza. I love this kind of dance. So it appears, did the other 44 people who attended. I humbly ask the universe to brign in the pathway for me to include more and more of this into my work. Namaste

Just saw preview of Religu-ous (sp?)

waveyoga — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 04:13:37 GMT

It is anintense docu-drama which is a must see. It covers many discrepancies in the world religions.. Jews, Christians, Catholics, Muslims.. believers. bible-folloowers.. from questioning to very funny lines to incredulous disharmony adn the feared and prophetic end of the world .. man's ability to end it with nuclear power. GO SEE IT Write me back what you thought. A good line," there is no IQ requirement to get into Congress" "Well, explaining this is like explaining how a tv works to an ant!" about faith and God.

Lost Friends please reestablish contact

waveyoga — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 14:49:59 GMT

H, last night I had 502 friends. Today I have 492. In 8 or so hours I lost 10 friends. I dont think Ihave made anyone mad. Tribe has mostly been down lately. If you are a friend and got dropped from my list please re-establish contact with me. I take my friends seriously. I have accepted and requested friends with people who travel, dance, do yoga, are philosophers, thoughtful and have knowledge bases in health and important areas. I have chosen to have faith in tribe and not play the"tribe is going under' blues. I hope I am right. next week if there are more extended absences I shall begin the task of getting peoples info. Have a good morning. Cathy

Calling Path Journey Spirits Birthday Countdown

waveyoga — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 02:26:10 GMT

I wanted to do good things for myself for this birthday. It's the first one I hav eever made a big deal about. I find myself still not exercising like I like to do. Trying to get substitute jobs which don't exist. Applyign for jobs or updatign applications fo rpeople who, " have enough people already. No matter if you speak Spanish, can do special education and math". I ate a pint of ice cream today.. yum yum.. it was coffee. I am reading a lot more. I am sleeping more. I seem ot eb running out of things to do which feed me or take tiem. With lots of free tiem one can spend lots of money and I am good at not doing that but I am tempted. But I gained a couple pounds instead of losing some. I am planning good things for my birthday adn that's good. thank you for being my friends.

YES NO YES NNOOO YYYEEESSS NO NO YES ????????

waveyoga — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 13:52:03 GMT

The journey of a lifetime begins with just one step. Ok I accept that. i accept that substitute teaching will not get busy for a few more days. Which journey? Do I go to the yoga teacher training 2 week intensive or do I do a few short dance workshops? Do I go to Guatemala? I have the luxury of having flexible time. I am skiled in bartending and food service so I KNOW I shall be busy this wnter. Fall, however my back feels against the wall on deciding which thing to do. I am inclined to do the dance retreats and then Guatemala and then Costa Ric later.. contingent of course on getting through the robot viocemail system for frequent flyer miles... How do I decide? I like yoga. I know a lot about it. I can teach it. To work for a studio which is not necessarily my goal I need this certification. You know what? I want a certification.. another set of little letters next to my name.. not only the letters but the final honoring of having chosen and followed to completion a path and the intensity of study and the personal growth from this on my many paths. I am a Learning Specialist. I speak Spanish. I want more certification and knowledge in the areas where I have studied and lived and played.. yoga bodies, dance massage., some movement therapy.. Ideas? Thank you fo r listening.

Random sitings at Bumbershoot!

waveyoga — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 14:40:58 GMT

I have now worked 23 hours in 2 days selling tickets and discussing selling tickets at Bumbershoot, a major music./arts festival in Seattle. I sold over 1000 tickets and talked personally to another 2000 people. In 2 days I found 4 different people from one dance group at my ticket window; a friend from another city at an African performance.. just out of the blue!! and a man with whom I had an intense attachment 10 years ago. He came to my window and asked about tickets.. I asked him if he was M?; we exchanegd looks.. he may not have recognized me.. its been 10 years. I have no feelings towards him.. it took awhile to let go of an attraction an dthen his asking for 5,000.00 to pay for a vacation he was going to pay for... I was delighted to see my dance friends. Monday is beginning cold and grey again.. rain forecast again.. I hoep they are wrong again. Festivals and crowd happines s usually dissipat e the clouds. Good news.. my 6 month lease is up.. one neighbor has been continually bad mouthing the managers etc.. had a 75.00 raise in her rent. I have stayed away from her when she go tinthat streak of talking..... my raise is 10.00. I do flowers for courtyard and owners friend 'caught' me picking up trash in parking lot.. its about how you use your energy... I believe. I love this apartment with all its attributes.. the orange tub which almost kept me from renting.. now disguised by shells, color, love and normal bathroom things and the faucet which leaks for me and not the landlord.. and all. Peace friend cathy

Bumbershoot days--- I Work FUN!

waveyoga — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 15:06:57 GMT

Hello, Well, it didn't rain yesterday and it doesn't look like it will rain today either. I leave soon to work 10 or 11 hours ticket selling and gate trouble-shooting and floating. Ilov ejobs with floating in the description. I flip to doign the back float in a pool under stars. As school begins next week whether I substitute or not, I have been busy setting things up an dbuying things.. etc.. Thursday afternoon and Friday morning I was invited for 3 interviews!!!! School begins Tuesday and Wednesday!!!!!!! I had my Plan B in full swing.. either a 3 week yoga teacher training or a Bridges trip to Guatemala.. those are my interests which when I am teaching full time get put behind teaching. Whats with the interviews at the last minute!! With cleaning I have reflected on my use of tribe. I am going to post less.. I have doen a lot. I thank some friends for their words around this. I dropped a few tribes which I simply don't read.. a couple hadn't had posts for over a year. So I am a cleaner less cluttered tribe member. I want to find out how to become a star member without paying over the internet however and that still needs to happen. Enjoy the weekend.. sorry if this rambles a bit.. oh! It's MY blog!

YAY Day 8 of Intestinal Cleanse

waveyoga — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:26:37 GMT

WOW Well the summer is ending. I had a great time working at the Summer Quest Program at a private school and I can teach full time there next summer. The administration kept thanking me and askied me back. I got Fifth disease.. boring and also a very sore throat.. working with little kids... I decided to do an intestinal/liver cleanse to get stuff out.. I am happy to report that I am on day 8. I broike it with 2 candy bars one day when fatigued, I needed to gear up for that phone interview. I also broke it another time for wine and meat. i do need meat about once a week. But many days of not breakign it and I feel a bit thinner and less attracted to fattening gooey foods. I also started the 100 pushups in 6 week sprogram and so far with only 3 day sin.. I am doign it. I had to begin with modified pushups.. that's ok to me. I also am doign sit-up ab crunch combinations. Thank you tribe friends . I appreciate so much the part many of you play in my life.

I Must release Friend on Tribe

waveyoga — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:17:27 GMT

it is with sorrow. I like my friends. I choose them with reading about their ideas, philosophy and their spirit. Somehow this person is in a long term downer. In his posts.. nothing is good, ever was or ever will be. He continually blogs trash about everything and is using drugs and alcohol. As far as I can see he has money and even talent and a job. My comments and others are met with derision. I am sorry, friend. I wish you well. May you rlife continue in a way which allows you to grow.
