FULL MOON IN TAURUS

"It’s Neptune enhanced, for those of you who are interested in shedding a few delusions or re-modelling their values."
-key phrase for an emotional weekend of purging, purging, purging, purging....


what to do when the veil is lifted and you realize that you haven't gone as far as you'd told yourself you'd gone? a visible gap reflecting what 'is'. what you don't have, the long strides you must take to get there, who's missed.....buzz kill


next week better be all....peace turkey

happy surgearversary! (if you wanna use the quippy phrase, you'll have to take it up with julie-meow)

Yep, a year ago today was Greg's latest deep-dish brain surgery... what do you say? congratulations? I guess so, he deserves it. My big brother and his beautiful business savvy wife of one year hit a landmark. I love them both more than the miles between us, from here to Houston. (i would go on, but you know how emotional i get and all...)

*i can't make up for the fact that my most recent pics of them are from wedding '09. good looking though, huh? (Greg and Julie--kiss kiss--aug. '09 boston mass.)

*and yes... virtually all (recent) pics of greg and i don't show my face cause i've spent a lot of time over the years curling up in the comfort of older siblings...it comes with being baby sister i suppose. 

to another year of major medical headway!!!

"Nothing sorts out memories from ordinary moments. 

Later on they do claim remembrance when they show

their scars. That face he had seen was to be the only 

peacetime image to survive the war. Had he really 

seen it? Or had he invented that tender moment to 

prop up the madness to come?"

are substantial memories so haunting because we need them to withstand 

the weight of the meanings that are assigned? which images are real, 

and which do you rely upon to get you through the day?

"If you reveal everything, bare every feeling, ask for understanding, you lose something crucial to your sense of yourself. You need to know things that others don't know. It's what no one knows about you that allows you to know yourself."

vibration technology will change your life!

This is for real yo! ...like shakes yo whole body at a rapid speed, then you get off and say that you've busted balls for like 2 hours. I did it.

T-ZONE..... only $1849

YES PLEASE!

Developed by the Russian Aerospace program in the 1960s Whole Body Vibration exercise is now used in Europe, the USA and Australia by physiotherapists, health clubs, professional sports teams, health and wellness centres and health spas.

When you stand on the VT-12 vibration machine platform it produces vertical vibrations. The energy of the vibration plate is safely and effectively transferred to your body. Our body reacts to the natural stimulus with an involuntary reflex muscle contraction. Depending on the speed, muscles will contract up to 15 times per second. There are many vibration exercises that can give you many different benefits, but most what's most important is...

The result... more benefits in far less time than conventional exercise!
