People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road

About Me

I am an Eccentric, Bohemian, Hippie, Gypsy Women. I am a bit Sarcastic, & I Love Irony. I am Earthy & Artsy. Moody & Angsty. I am a Mestiza(mixed blood)Woman. I am forever evolving & changing. Becoming who it is I am meant to be.I occasionally do Psychic Readings. Where I use Clairvoyant gifts that were gifted to me since birth. I also do a little Tarot. Have yet to discover fully what it all entails. Or what is in the plans for me. I am just a conduit. I am the Drum and The Powers that Be is the hand that hits the Drum...I am Child of The Creator Spirit, & a Daughter of the Goddess Path. The Goddess Yemoja, the Beautiful and Amazing Ocean Oshira is My True Mother...I have been on this Journey with my Lover for 11 1/2 yrs now. Since he came here from Germany. He is Kind, Gentle, & Loving. My Best Friend & a Beautiful Soul. He has been there with me through some very rough waters. I love him very much. He loves me for who I am, & puts up with me. Our Love continues on with its ebbs, flows, & all the craziness in between.We have two really amazing kids. The Imaginative Wizard in the making who is 9. Little Ms. Lady Butterfly who is 5. They are amazing little people unto themselves. They are Homeschooled & continue to teach me every turn of the way. Children of the Universe, only lent to us to raise and guide through Life's Journeys'. Hope we are doing it right. That we don't have to pay for therapy later.I have been fighting Lyme Disease, & the Co Infections, Babesia, Bartenella, & Chlamydia Pneumonaie. (No not the Sexually transmitted kind.) It turns out I was Bitten By a Tick while traveling Cross Country doing support work for a Native American Run. That was 12 yrs ago. I had symptoms for many years but did not know why. I went from Doctor to Doctor & found no answers. Until 3 years ago I was finally diagnosed. It has been a long hard battle yet I still continue to fight. My Son who is 9 yrs old has been diagnosed with Congenital Lyme Encephalopathy & Babesia. My 4 yr old Daughter is also showing Clinical Signs of Lyme, Bartenella & Babesia. They both got it through me invitro. Contrary to Popular belief these Tick Borne Bacterias & Parasites can be passed from Mother to Child. Lyme Disease is a Multi Systemic Inflamatory Disease. With Various range of serious symptoms. Babesia, Bartenella are only two of the multitude of Co Infections you may get when bitten by a Tick.The Infectous Disease Society of America, & the Insurance Company are making it hard for the few educated Lyme Literate Doctors we have, to treat their patients. Doctors who are saving lives. They don't want it being diagnosed because of the money it takes to treat it. Getting a correct Diagnosis is difficult, because not many Doctors really understand or even know much about Lyme or these other Tick Borne Bacterias. They have been trained that Lyme Disease is rare & cured by only a few weeks of Antibiotics. They have followed Guidelines made up by Infectious Disease Society of America. Guidelines made by a group of men with financial interests held by several of the most powerful IDSA panelists. Lining there own money hungry pockets. Instead of helping the lives of People Suffering from this devestating illnesses. Hopefully now all that will change as a result of Connecticut Attorney General Blumenthal's antitrust investigation. Which has uncovered serious flaws in the Infectious Diseases Society of America's (IDSA) process for writing its 2006 Lyme disease guidelines and the IDSA has agreed to reassess them with the assistance of an outside arbiter.With Lyme Disease & these othe bacterial Diseases you are TRULY Sick & NO amount of wishing, or meditating is going to make it go away. You need to take your Health into your own hands & do anything to "Get your life back!!!!"Lyme Disease is extremely Complicated & Politically Controversial Disease. It Could Easily Effect Anyone. I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT LYME DISEASE & OTHER TICKBORNE ILLNESSES.

"Our ability to change the world lies in our hands, minds, hearts, bodies, and spirits ~ committed in action. It's not only that we can make a difference, it's that we do make the difference. The kind of change we make is up to us. Each and every one of us has the power to heal or to hurt, to be the hero or the destroyer ~ with every moment, with every breath of every day".~ Julia Butterfly Hill, from One Makes the DifferenceThings that feed my Soul are: I Love a good Rain Storm or a cloudy day.Playing with Acrylics & Canvas. Just seeing where the Creative flow takes me. Making Jewelery with semi precious stones & old Jewelery scraps. Using Essential oils for Healing,& Making Lotions/Potions. I enjoy Writing, it's therapy for me. Helps to get the Angst out.Roaming around Museums, and soaking in the Beauty of the Art.Meandering for hours in Book Stores. I like the musty smell of Books.

Body Outlaws is a multicultural collection of essays on beauty and body image, edited by Ophira Edut.These writers cover the gamut from big butts to big noses, nappy hair to natural food, diets to dudes, sports to sexuality. By daring to challenge the conventional beauty standard, these writers open a world where we can love our bodies through thick AND thin...and where beauty can be imagined beyond the messages we receive from society. http://www.bodyoutlaws.com

Heroes:

I am a Survivor of Childhood Physical and Sexual Abuse. I ADMIRE anyone who is willing to Break the Silence. Face their Demons and Heal their Heart & Soul. Peeling away the layers to get at the core of our pain. So we can work through it and heal. No matter what they have gone through. No matter what the cost, or how long it takes. Anyone who stands up for themselves, and what they believe in. Who is willing to fight for those who can't. Who lives by their own rules. Refusing to give into Societies ideals of how they should Look, Act, Live, & Feel.RAINN Public Service Announcement - I Was
