November Holidays
The weekend was lazy, feeling the need to integrate so much.
I started GaiaDesign.us as a way to start the journey towards oneself.
Integration, being the integrator, creating and designing systems based on
the golden seed and following that nourishing act of growth till evey child on the planet is fully, totally and completely empowered to be the individual unique genius we were born as.....a system that integrates every genius into a sharing, caring, cooperative network, an organic changing process of transcending and unfolding "sabeve," THE GAME.
Emilee was home from Scattergood to experience The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Matt has been with friends all weekend and Makiah and his buddy Chris and I went swimming. Shari is busy planning next weekend and Thansgivivg trips.
Integrating and being present with each and every breath. I am raking and mowing the yard. Eating. While planting the seed. Seeing peace city, feeling the ultimate design
within singing and dancing my moments through the here and now...of being fearless.

Seven times Seven
Makiah is Darth Vader tomorrow. Hope the universe is ready for his arrival.
7 7 7 so many 7's
- July, the 7th month is special to me because of Independence Day and my Anniversary.
- Bogart (my 127 Chocolate Lab) was born on 7/7
- In 1970 I was 7 and 7 years after that I "had" my first girl and 7 years after that I got married on 7/27, 30 days after my birthday on 6/27 and just before Sharon's birthday on the 7th.
- My first car was a 77 Buick Le Sabre which I drove for 7 years while trying to convince Sharon to marry me. (God Bless the 7 foot long back seat!)
- In 1987 we started trying to have kids. 7 years and $70,000 later Tyler was born on the 27th
- On a hot day in the 7th month, July, after 7 minutes and a $7.oo bottle of wine - Devin was consummated. (I am no doubt exaggerating about the 7 minutes)
- In 1997 Cailin came into this world.
- I have moved 7 times and have had 7 different phone numbers, still order a 7 and 7 on occasion, and recently sold our 7 series BMW after being in the shop no less than 7 times
- We found a new house we want to move to - in a neighborhood called 7 Meadows
- 77 or the "spoon" is still my favorite way to fall asleep at night.
I have never been superstitious, yet I believe in self-made luck. I don't gamble yet I know that hitting 777 on the slots is a good thing. I don't believe in astrology yet I enjoy in a curious way reading my horoscope everyday (almost). I don't have a favorite color or a favorite singer/artist, a favorite car, or a favorite movie. I really don't believe in too much when it comes to being lucky as I believe that the law of attraction is the only controlled energy one will ever need. But do I now have a favorite number? A lucky #?
I am convinced that 2007 will have been my most memorable year - ever. I have met some great people and have about 777 things on my wish list that I believe will ALL come true!
my children have blessed me 7,777,777 times.....

Feeling the Fun, Feeling the Gold
I was then dropped off to volunteer for the JenniferAzzi.com motivational talk at the Cedar Falls Holiday Inn. What Fun!! Especially seeing everyone of the eighty some people in the audience handle and feel the Olympic Gold Medal that Jennifer passed around the room. Her message was all heart and vision, stories and question and answers. Denny Duggan the high school girls basketball coach from Hudson, Iowa was sponsoring her visit to Iowa. He and his family were the treat of the evening for me. True inspiration. Denny's daughter Angela and husband Todd look like they lived in Lajolla, youthful, healthy, fashionable...and they appeared to be very young...with seven children! I am staying in contact with them I really hope to discover there secret. They claimed it was USANA ESSENTIALS, but it was a Usana Event...so I'm going for the heart of the matter. Seven kids; healthy, happy, fashionable and the most beautiful attitudes. Was this Iowa or heaven or what? I had the Olympic Gold Medal in hand and meditated on what hard work was within the medal...nothing, I felt nothing to my surprise. And the Design didn't really look aesthetically pleasing either. Some desire Gold Medals, some gold apples, some goldenseeds, life was so much fun this weekend.

Feeling the Education
It has been at least a decade since I got a massage. And I love massages! One of my top priority gifts to myself is to be able to afford a wake-up massage every morning then a trip to the spa retreat outside my bedroom door. So, I have been working on the SageHouse.org website and met Tracy Thoreson who is a massage therapist, who wanted her own web site to link to SageHouse.org and with everyone else who might desire her healing genius touch. I can truly say she is amazing! How lucky can I be? She was born and raised in Mt Vernon, went to the local college for music, switched to the University of Iowa for theater, then decided to study massage in San Diego, went on to learn every healing technique not known by most Iowans via New York, Canyon Ranch and Austrailia ...and here I am lucky enough not only that she found her way back home to Iowa, but that I was in need of her healing touch and I was available to be healed. Wow! It was heavenly, what a golden touch. She has definitely been educated into her passion. Iowa could really be heaven, if only the natives who left and learned, returned to the state to be recognized and appreciated for what amazing treasures they truly are...Iowa would be more like a state growing corn with pure gold kernels rather than growing corn to run our cars, ethanolsucks.us.
To be touched, rubbed, healed via someone how is a master at so many diverse modalities of healing, she is THE ROSE...I'm blessed she found her way back home.
No history here, before 1840. No field trips into the old battle grounds. We do have the Meskwaki Indian Casino in Tama. The Ioway and Hohokoms before that, but something to be taught and shared in schools?...no bus rides going there.
Today, is Saturday...the FUN DAY! Nick, Emilee, Matthew, Makiah, Shari and I are heading north to see the #1 UNI Panthers play "whomever"...Shari was a UNI Cheerleader so I'm sure she will be in rare and true to form today.
Then Makiah and I volunteered to sell books for Jennifer Azzi, talking on reseting your life.....what do you do post Olympic Gold?
Post Heroine of the sport, post this post that....looking forward to all THE FUN!!!
ps.Maybe your boys should consider playing for the Iowa Hawkeyes, the team needs them NOW! Maybe they could learn what real Iowa battles are about. Face to face combat in the drenches of "Playing THE GAME!"
