ROOT-STABILIZATION

Oh the Root card. Always makes me feel a little guilty. It’s apparent we should start are days on a good foundation. Healthy nourishment, drinking enough water, exercising, breathing and sleeping enough. Definitely not this week but tomorrow is another day. I believe I need to have this all written down so it is the first thing I see in the morning.

Root is the starting point. He is the vast, unseen network of life that draws energy from the Earth and creates a stable platform for life to grow and thrive. He offers a constant source of sustenance., connection, and communication. Root delves and twists, sharing insight with his neighboring kin and creating a strong community. As the most ancient and reliable anchor of planetary support, he guides us to grow stronger and more stable. Root asks you to establish firm foundations and develop a relationship with your own network of stabilization . He is the connecting force that carries all answers, so tak stock. Are you receiving the right nourishment? Are you drinking enough water, getting enough movement and sleep, breathing deeply? These pleasurable and achievable practices should be your starting point. An imbalance in one of them will translate to depletion in other areas of your life. Nurture your roots and watch you life blossom in miraculous ways. BALANCED: flourishing, productive, effective IMBALANCED: depleted, inefficient, stunted, scattered TO BRING INTO BALANCE: explore nature in new ways while listening to your subtle body, initiate self-inquiry in all that arises for you.

Quit being a knucklehead

What advice would you give to your teenage self?

I had a lot a lot of promise. Unfortunately I was also a young girl with alopecia universalis which is total body hair loss. I let that disease keep me from achieving a good life of dreams I wanted to do. Instead I followed a path of drugs, depression, alcohol, and many mistakes. I don’t look back in regret but to my young self I would have given her more strength.

I’m not patriotic

Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?

“having or expressing devotion to and vigorous support for one’s country”

I don’t feel that way about our country. I’m afraid. I’m afraid of our president and his cabinet. If I was single I would leave. I can’t leave so how will I handle living here. My husband was Vietnam Air Force pilot. I am so proud of him. I was all for going after Bin Laden after 9-11. How did we know the total disaster that occurred. I say that so you won’t think I’m just a peace loving, don’t care person. In this stage of my life, I don’t have many nice things to say about patriotism. I wish I could. Hopeless

Arrested once

Have you ever unintentionally broken the law?

When I was in junior college a group of us were busted for pot. We had a narc in the group and he told the police that someone was coming with several pounds of pot. We were all taken to the police station in El Dorado Kansas. Stripped search, boo, and then made to sit apart from each other for hours. Someone drove out to meet the guy with the pot and told him not to come to town. Finally they let us all go after they tore up our friend’s house looking for drugs which they didn’t find. it was scary and exciting at the same time. We were the talk of the junior college!!
