kmc posted this at: 7:18 a.m.Tears of Joy!!!
The RED SOX have WON the WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!!! Even this morning listening to the radio, I still got very emotionally choked-up... I could have cried easily!!! (keeping a bit of control here) I was there, though, in their moment... I could feel that intense sigh of relief from the Babe Ruth Curse... that extraordinary euphoria of beating the best teams in the leagues... that unfathomable gratitude for the team-mates and unity of the game... I felt their joy!! One moment in time... one very special moment where twenty or thirty men changed the tide of their team's reputation... they BECAME the CHANGE they wanted to see in the world. They played their hearts wide open on the field. And even in the midst of the opposing fans taunting them of their "curse"... they played strong. THEY BELIEVED!! So we believed with them. Now, normally, I am not a sports fan. But there was an air of "yes we can" behind this string of victories. And don't we all want to believe in "Yes I Can"? Because it's only a short jump from believing in it... to living it. Persistance pays off.
OH, and .... btw, YES I GOT MY HAIR CUT!!!!!! Pictures will soon be posted!!!!

kmc posted this at: 01:11 p.m.More Powerful Than I Realize???
Last night I received a reading from a new acquaintance... a very detailed 18-card reading. The deck she utilized was the Doreen Virtue Mermaids deck. It was an incredibly positive reading, indeed! The "Cornerstones" of the reading were very accurate in their interaction with me: Healing Heart, Music for Manifesting, Friends, and Protection (AA Michael Archetype). There is hardly a reading anymore without his presence there. Not hard for an omniscient archetype energy. I wrote down the summary that I quickly gathered from the reading and here it is: Let go of old habits, be myself, natural magnetism, natural rhythm of life (music for manifesting reference), abundance, success, personal empowerment…
That’s where I kinda dwindled down. My focus of meditation from this reading was advised as such: “Using Fire as an analogy, or metaphor; look into the trinity of Fire: Source, Fuel, Ignition.” My meditations are sporadic … so I intend on becoming more routine and focused on my meditating; Opening myself fully to the gifts that have been given to me. I will learn to utilize the tools of alchemical mysticism/metaphysics.
It was wonderful to get a confirmation of who I am, how I am, and the foundation of staying as I am. Not to be non-inclusive of change. I realize more so than ever before that change is the most powerful tool that helps me to grow. It is the one constant thing in this physical reality. There are constant lessons being presented with different perspectives; different opportunities to exude who I am. There are different situations presented to me to act in the most natural way of who I am; to be an example of all that is. And I hold within myself all of the knowledge, tools and situations necessary to remember my natural being.
Needless to say, the reading was very strong and I could go on and on…. but, I won’t… this was primarily for me… and it is still something that I am digesting. But I did feel like sharing a small part of this. The joyfulness.

kmc posted this at: 01:24 p.m.What If...
Update: Yes, I recovered from the "hurt day".... I just hadn't posted anything since that day. Busy and all.
This weekend was fantastic... even with the rain. The party on Saturday was perfect. The sun had burned through the fog around noon and made it beautifully warm at the house. We had food cooking and games playing on both the TV and out on the driveways. The people were fabulous, of course. And, although not everyone showed up, it was still quite nice!
That was the weekend wrap up...
Today was a beautiful day to wake to... walking outside after the much needed rains... it smelled wonderful! That beyond-fresh scent at the ocean. (Much better than the warmed kelp smell we get sometimes) Today at lunch, I sat outside reading for a bit near the creek. Again, beautiful with the freshness and the bright white clouds speckling the brilliant blue sky. One portion of the book I am currently reading really struck me today; made me giggle a bit... I really like this "what if":
"What if?" or "What if I were different?" or, "What if I should be what I would be if I could be what I might be?"
It speaks so grandly of the potentiality of all of us. I absolutely love it!! It's wonderful to reflect and then project for a moment... really look at the greatest "what if"... so that is what I am doing today.... considering all of the "what if's" that I might be.

kmc posted this at: 01:11 p.m.Lunch Hour Epiphany...
As most of you know, I love my connection with nature. Sitting and meditating out in the natural elements is the ultimate for me. Being in it! Well, at lunch today I was trying to finish up a book that someone had given me... and in it kept feeling the duality issue. At the same time I kept hearing this ruckus behind me and kept looking back to see if something was walking behind me... we've seen deer, dogs, various critters... this time just cute birds. But it made me look at the creek... and there was my duality message:
You can look at the creek, two different sections not 20 yards apart from each other... and they look very different. One part has debris fallen into it and on top of it; making it quite murky and clouded and it appears as though the water isn't moving... conversely, the other section is so crisp and clear that you can see to the bottom of the creek. You can see nice ripples of movement between the two sections... The two sections although visibley different are still of the same creek... they are still the same water. There is no separation of the two other than what has been projected into/onto the sections. Perception which is a choice. It is One creek. It is all water... which is constantly moving, changing, affecting other sections of the creek. The analogy can keep going and going... the recent flooding of the creek.... massive change, and when settled.... sections go back to their states... altered and changed... but tolerably settled.
Okay, so if that made sense to anyone else, then good... if not, then skip it...
That's my epiphany for the day.
be well.

kmc posted this at: 07:44 a.m.Another Monday Morning... on Tuesday...
You ever wake up in the morning thinking you've forgotten something... but don't know what it is? Well, I had that kind of morning... getting ready for work the entire time thinking something was missing. Then I wander downstairs to head out.... KEYS... my car keys are in my roommate's truck... doh!!
It has become habit when ever I leave the house, even if I am just going out with friends, that I grab my keys incase no one is here when I get home. Logical. However... I don't usually forget my keys in my friends' vehicles. After batting practice last night I vividly remember looking down at my keys saying to myself "remember to take those inside"... guess who didn't listen to herself!
Well, luckily, a friend from work has offered to come pick me up ... and my roommate will come get me after work. I feel like I am living in Bizarro World today!!!
And, for those of you who live in the area and read this post.... tonight is another softball game at Sinsheimer Park... our team thus far is undefeated..... so it should be a great game again tonight. It starts at 6:30pm if anyone would like to come see!

update: October 6th, 2004
Title: DOH!!!
This JUST goes to show.... that was a bad tuesday, bad bad tuesday.... now go sit in the corner!
Okay.... Thanks to Zoe for posting a comment to let me know I'd duplicated my efforts... maybe I was TRYING to make a point??? (who am I kidding? no backpedaling now!) I did however have an extremely good time at the softball game... we won 30-6 - I think that was the final score. I hit my first outstanding popfly to left field - HIT GREEN even!!! I did my happy dance at first base!

kmc posted this at: 11:11 a.m.A Wonderful Hike...
An early start to my normally slow-goin' Sunday... and for a great cause too... I was invited to go hike Madonna Mountain in SLO. Beautiful foggy morning... started off with a cup of coffee from Utopia Bakery (I love walking into the multi-sensual warmth of that place!) Then it was UP the trail we went.
Having three children along for the hike made it absolutely fun! The pure questions they ask... the joyous responses they give... undeniably divine. The favorite thing for most of the hike was the adventure of "capturing a bunny"... and it was completely agreed that if the children caught a bunny they most certainly could take it home. It was amazing the ecstatic look on the youngest one's face when she heard this.... she was quite certain she would be bringing home a bunny! I haven't giggled so much during a hike in all my life. It was such a true feeling of joyfulness! And then there were also small conversations of deep thought ... interspersed amidst the giggling.
I also found a few fingers in the trails that would be perfect to go back for meditation purposes.... off the beaten path and secluded enough to allow proper communing with nature and "all that is"... I could see this as another spot for those moments that I need to get in touch with myself more closely. There is nothing like nature to remind you of how deeply connected everything is to each other. The whispering wind, the gentle mist from the fog, and the delicate sounds of the critters who live at the mountain.... all very sacrosanct. It amazes me that people go cloister themselves in a building when communing on sacred days. Whatever happened to sitting or gathering in nature? The most perfect Sanctuary there is, if you ask me. Are we so easily distracted that we need to be put in decorated boxes so that we will stay focused? Is it that we are so set on the comfort of those boxes? I say it's time to think outside the box! We are so used to being taught a specific way that we miss our greatest teacher in nature. The Source is in all that we encounter ... and very purely so in nature. An example I used recently.... a flower. A flower will bloom regardless of who sees it. It will be exactly that and only that.... a flower. It is the others.. the observers who place judgement on it... whether it is beautiful, smells pretty, etc. But regardless of those observations... the flower IS. If no one were ever there to observe it... it would still BE the flower... it would still send it's fragrance out... it would still open in due time.... it is only by subjective observation that we could easily learn that we too could just as easily JUST BE... be what you are... what others may say in observation of you does not necessarily MAKE you any less or any more of YOU. Standing firm in faith, I guess, make it possible to ... just be.
There.... that is my gift from this morning's hike.... how easily I connect with nature! All this to learn how to just be me. Simplified. Divine.
