Runes
Posted by: theworldismysoyster on: January 11, 2012
So, I overcame my fear of power tools (I am lying, they still scare me to death) and made my own runes out of a pine branch. I love them!
I also made the pouch. 
Taddie legs!

At first they were very small.
But now they are bigger and we are starting to see some arm buds.
Frog Lifecycle.

We are growing frogs.
Here is the life cycle we have amassed so far.
Stage 7: There are no more gills and the body is larger. The eyes are also visible here.
Stage 6: The taddie develops gills.
Stage 5: Tail shape is changing. More growth.
Stage 4: Fully hatched. They eat boiled lettuce.
Stage 3:
Stage 2: Eggs are changing shape.
This happened in a very short amount of time. When the weather is cold, it can take two years for a frog to reach maturity. When it is warm (like my house), it can take weeks.
We went frog hunting the other day and couldn’t find any. We could hear them croaking very loudly in the distance but no matter how far we walked they were always just a little bit further.
After admitting defeat, we started walking home.
I spotted this clump of frog eggs in the ditch. I thought, if I can not find some, I will grow some.
Stage 1: In natural habitat (I only took a very small amount -this is what was left when I was done).
Update on life

Things have been in a period of stagnation for a while now.
I used to call it transition but it is definitely stagnation. Or even worse, it might even be a period of regression.
Not only are we not doing/living the life we invested two years into getting but we are barely making bill payments and are still living with family.
This is supposed to come to an end. Knock on wood.
And since I am without good news and without purpose for this blog (not being able to exercise my creative ability as well as I used to because of a lack of space to get messy and having my son in public school) I haven’t written much.
I do have my other blog and while I think I will be ceasing my updates on this blog I will be updating that one.
The main part of my life right now is my quest to get back in shape after all of this upheaval.
I would like a place to chronicle my journey to svelt-ness and I see no better place for that than my vegetarian/health blog.

I also have my website for my Crystals business as well.

New year…same goals.
Posted by: theworldismysoyster on: January 5, 2011
After our major transition and life disappointments I found myself not only off of the wagon but being drug by it.
My weight has bounced up accordingly and after gaining 17 pounds I find renewed energy and discipline.
I have been loving my Wii yoga sessions and my Wii Zumba routines. And I also stretch, do resistance training and run on my treadmill. So far so good.
I am also trying to get back into my raw diet as the bloating is getting kinda old!
I still suffer from lots of tension headaches so I am stretching and using meditation to try to soothe this. My husband uses guided meditation on me from time to time and that helps some.His messages are also wonderful. Yay for the hubby!
I have also been doing Chakra healing in combination with my meditation sessions. I use my Amethyst on my Third Eye when I have a headache. It is supposed to be a Crown stone but you can use it to relieve headaches by placing in on the spot where the pain is radiating from.
You can see a bunch of Chakra kit options here: http://www.celestialwisdomcrystals.com/store#ecwid:category=489142&mode=category&offset=0&sort=nameAsc
I gave the Sagittarius one to my sister for her birthday and she loves it.
There is also a giveaway for a Chakra Star set (useful for balancing the Chakras) here: http://www.celestialwisdomcrystals.com/giveaway
Anyways, so far so good but we are hoping to get into a more reasonable home soon so that we can set up our home gym once again.
I am finding my parenting is struggling with this living situation. If I want to be on the computer I have to be hidden away from my kids in my bedroom. I miss having the computer in a communal area.
We are very close to getting our own place. We just need to find the money to get one. Easy peasy right? Where’s the emoticon of the person biting their nails?
C’est la vie! Speaking of which, French is the other thing complicating our move. Not only do we have to find a home we can afford, we have to find one that allows us to swing by a French school for my son and then to work (whoever ends up working this time).
We’ve always had someone home but depending on who can earn the most, that may not be me…again…
I wish I could be in a better mood…I really do.
I just can’t wait for everything to stop being wrong all of the time.
I mean, everything is how it is. The Universe plays out as it does but I am tired of the crap we are dealing with. And according to the Laws of Karma, I am not going to get out of this mess until I start being positive again. But I can`t seem to stay positive because of the mess! Ugh!
For example, my husband makes next to nothing at a job that doesn`t guarantee him any hours. Before Dec. 20 he worked about 27 hours a week. Since Dec. 20 he has worked 18!
So our budget doesn`t balance and I am stressed out. We are behind on our bills and our rent. Lovely! Happy New Year right? I am glad his boss had a good holiday but we had to borrow money from family just to get enough gas money to go see my parents for New Years.
So yeah…I am down today.
Time for a shower. That always cheers me up!

…That is because I have not had anything I have wanted to share with you all.
Our life took a turn for the worse a little bit after the sale of our place. My husband didn’t get the job he was vying for, even after nailing every step. Seriously, that’s true. He called them and asked them what he could work on for next time and they said that his application looked great and there were no recommendations.
So basically, they found something stupid to disqualify him on to whittle down their numbers since they didn’t need any more white dudes. Their website is very clear on their desire to recruit visible minorities. How great it is to be discriminated against for being the majority.
Anyways…I don’t need to get worked up again.
The other thing is that even after we sold our house I ended up working again. That should be coming to an end again but I have heard that one before too. I have not been thrilled with my new job and I have found it a bit demeaning.
And to top it off, Trey decided he wanted to go to school. So, with this being an unschooling blog I just haven’t felt like I had much to talk about.
And with living with my in-laws my whole raw-vegan thing really went down the crapper. I am eating too much bad food and gaining weight. So yeah, you can see why I haven’t had much to share.
It’s been tough on me but I am powering through. I started a home-based retail business. I sell crystals, meditation supplies etc. online.
I have a web address but my website hasn’t been launched yet.
If you want to check in throughout the next 2-6 weeks it will probably get up and running.
Well, here’s to better days.
Love is…

… who the frack cares!
Doesn’t matter what you think love is. What matters is how you show it. What benefit does anyone gain from being loved more than earth and heaven combined if they are neglected and treated like shit?
In the most famous love passage (1 Corinthians 3:4-7) Paul describes love. He doesn’t say, “Love is feeling butterflies in your stomach” or “feeling sexually attracted to someone.” He says:
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Have you noticed that those are all actions?
So let us consider this as we go into the world (our families and workplaces, out with our friends etc.). Let us start being love not just feeling it and desiring it.
Let us be happy for others and not be petty. Let’s not lash out at those who don’t deserve it. Let’s be patient and kind.
I want to be the embodiment of love to my family. I don’t want to JUST be hugs and kisses and then yell at them when I am frustrated. I want to treat them like I love to them.
‘Cause frankly, if I bitch at them all of their lives (or spank them or punish them or over protect them) they will remember my actions. Not my intentions.
