haywire

well, mercury retrograde has happened with a bang on this lunar new year. also,it precedes with the last lunar eclipse until 2010. drum roll, the drive shaft of my new old van fell out from under me on kingsway yesterday. georgia nichols, the astrologer, mentioned not to get to comfortable until the wednesday so i was prepared and luckily, the flow was there, even through the event. tow truck, mechanics and budget rental car.... bang, bang, bang!

today,i am settled into my computer room, ready to commit a few days to the paperwork that i have not done during the last few weeks. reading and writing was not a biggie in the things to do list. really last week i felt that every cell in my body was screaming and i was sensitive to listen. do the bodily corrections and rest. living my no-caffiene, roiibos infused, child focused, life was all i could do. i am living a habit of ten percent of rest and reflection. reading eckhart tolle's the power of now. thanks vasanti for introducing him to me, when you use to live here. i am blessed to have met him. only now do i have the time to study from him.

grateful for my busiest february in my life when it pertained to work. clients has warmed to me in a way that amazes me. i am able to practise as i am. the strength of their convictions bolsters me in every way and allows me to gather more and more information. gather , transfer, gather , transfer. i have now had paying clients everyweek for the biofeedback, whoppee. i am helping to find out about paralysis, lower cognition function, and digestive issues. it is fascinating.

skiing has also factored into the busy season. we have gone to whistler every weekend since january the 6. three weeks we did not, two because alex was sick with the flu and last week because we both needed a rest day. the week before was my busiest week ever for massage and alex was busy too with a school presentation project and getting his orange belt in tae kwan do. my mom is busy learning how to deal with her diebetes. she is an old dog but willing to learn new tricks, when it comes to her health.

shadow yoga has started again last week. i am very adament that i must get this set under my belt. it is the savior to the small intricate movements that circulate the chi, blood and lypmph through the system. the tai chi of yoga. using the heel, the ankles and core to influence the fluids of the body. understanding the tongue and the eyes. the strength of the neck. the suppleness of the heart and hip connection.
oh my god, i am living a previledged life.

so again, i am saying adieu, gotta get back to the paper pile but i have wanted to catch up for a long time but only now have i had time to do so. love you all!

bitter days.

bitter is the symbol of the heart. joy and bitterness. seemingly my heart is languishing. i seemed to be attracted to green peppers and bitter melons. how chinese of me. the bitterness of green tea is also attractive. it is wonderful that i have a knowing of the chinese nourishment. i am resolved to live more in that realm. it is certainly more placid than the wear and tear of mainstream life.
have a good day!

happy new year 2008

boy, am i glad to have xmas over. shopping, wrapping, visiting, hamster sitting and hamster losing, all added up to a lot of doing and not enough resting. glad to have a couple of days off to do the paperwork in my pajamas. alex is with his father at mount baker, washington state. i will pick him up at sumas on the way to visit my friend sheila snow in vernon, bc. i will ski silverstar for the first time, yippee! so new years day will be on a fresh mountain. metaphorically that will be a good start to the page of life.

during xmas, i bought a new van. from japan, right hand drive, 4 wheel drive van. sold my ford wagon in five days to a nice aussie bloke after listing it on craigslist. so i have a new vehicle to use to transport my gear. skis, bikes, kid, massage table, computers. will put a thule rack and box on it and i will be styling on the mountain and beaches of bc. my dream life. have van will travel and work. nice guys at www.japanoid.com. will do more business with them in the future. this van is not my ideal. i am looking for a toyota lite ace, mine is the bigger town ace. it is diesel so i can use bio diesel of 20%. someday as the years pass , shogo will be importing the japanese hybrids so i can drive these until then.

my biofeedback business is of course still astounding me. the information it provides is so truthful and pertinent. i rest in knowing that i am in the right path for me. my clients are slowly using the system for themselves and i am grateful that i have a service that will grow with me. i'm not getting younger but i am learning to grow gracefully.

stella and matt farina from portland are going to nicuragua for spring break. since alex will be with his father in fernie, bc for spring break, i am going to go with the farinas to an island in nicuragua for my birthday, march 15-25. what great timing. yippee. they are my bestest buddies on this planet. stella and i have done many trips together.

wish me luck.

happy new year to you and your family.

vaughn, washington

here to see my friends, stella and matt, and the sacdalan family for the american thanksgiving. five hours from vancouver bc along the i-5, near gig harbour. i am in this gigantuan house on the bay. it is for sale for 2.6 million so if you are interested, i can direct you to the owner. it is always great to see stell who is my best friend of all times. she and i met about twenty years ago working for the hair salon , suki's. i was a hair cutter and she was an receptionist. anyssa carruters, also was a receptionist at the time. i feel fortunate that such groovy girls are still my friends all this time.
this week has been great. i had a real moment, with nat gold from saltsprisng island, this week. it reminded me that i am nothing but a child some days. all that is important to me is to have time to my self to do my personal business, and i mean that. we had been doing hot yoga every morning at 6 am and the days were getting a bit cranky for me as we continued on. the mind was irritable and suddenly, i was reactive to the external world. crying was close to the surface but anger showed its head instead. luckily, i have a good friend in nat and though it was disruptive for both of us, we manged to rectify with sleep and understanding.
i am realizing that with age, i have mellowed. i am more concerned with the quality of my life. i work hard to love it.

nat called from the vancouver school of bodywork and massage and told me about a email announcing the spice girl tour needing therapist. she suggested i send in a resume. so i put one in and got an interview but no response on the job.

a few weeks later, i was griping about how boring my life was. routine was dull and my mind was frustrated with the lack of excitement. it was a snowy day, december 5th. so alex and i went out to enjoy the heavy snow. we shovelled the walk. we pulled the toboggan to the school hill and rode on the fresh stuff. got home and alex went over to his friends to play. i retrieved my voice messages. heidi from new york left me a message asking me to work the spice girl show at gm place. bobi, who is the usual therapist could not make it through the heavy snow. would i work it? of course, i am a ski bum and can drive through anything to get to the hills. so downtown vancouver would be a breeze. i rushed down. worked on five of the ten dancers for the tour. an agent came into get his neck worked on. at seven, the gig was over, i was provided with dinner and got to see the show on the floor. fabulous.
this whole event showed me that life is not dull and that opportunities come out of the woodwork all the time.
