ISN’T THIS THE TRUTH! If I ever get married again, I totally want the Dalai to do it! A man of great wisdom!

understandtheuniverse:

“Man.

 Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.

Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.

And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future.

He lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

Tis I, Nikki. I have risen….much like Jebus but not really….(Easter really is a trippy holiday, don’t cha think???? Funny how no one questions the whole rising from the dead thing-Easter holiday-practiced & celebrated for centuries but mention Sylvia Browne and your a witchcrafting hooky spook…*shrugs shoulders*)

ANYHOO, I’m currently mending my “mind, body and gut” after a ferocious bout of the stomach flu this past weekend. It’s all fun and games until projectile vomit enters the picture (I feel fairly confident that I could have exceeded the 4 ft marker if I wasn’t aiming…my kids would be proud.).

SO, I’m on the couch-mending my health and paying bills. Ahhhh, the good life. EEeeeheeeeeeeeeee!

Send updates! I miss ya’ll TONS!

Shielded hugs and kisses,

Hi Guys……

I was dorkin’ around on TUMBLR yesterday and came across someone’s blog (I thought it was JCM) and it had a song posted…I thought the name was “MOAN”…..I can’t find it now….if anyone knows what I’m talkin’ about, pls send me the link…THANKS!

It’s been awhile since I’ve stumbled into Tumblr-land-so, I’m here-checking in on everyone!

Looks like everyone is in agreement, bring on 2011!!!!!!!! I think one of my biggest regrets this past year (actually, the past 3) is allowing stress to take over my life and rob me of my creative spirit…..As an artist, I’m always “dreaming”…..always visualizing scenarios and ideas in my head….and I love being in this place-and miss it desperately….unfortunately, I haven’t been able to visit it. The reality of being single, having 3 kids, no job, bills-bills-bills, etc. has aged me and forced me into this serious world of ”day in, day out-please let the heat and electric be on”….almost everything in my life that was deemed as successful was stripped away from me within such a short period of time…I went from proud, independent, fun loving, creative business owner to single-mom of 3-no job-no friends, bills that I can’t pay-haven’t been out on one date in almost 2 years since the divorce-doing my best to put on a brave face for my kids when the reality is, I have no idea how I’m gonna pull Christmas together. It’s impossible for me to slide into my dreamy world where my inspiration and creativity reside when I’m constantly battling. It stunts my MOTIVATION in every facet of my life. I’m not sure how to fix it but I’m NOT going to continue living this way. THIS is no way to live! SO, let’s get on with 2011 and I’m praying that there be one little box of HOPE (along with some handy dandy ideas) be under the Christmas tree this year. A little goes such a long way! :)

Merry Christmas to all of you and may 2011 be the best you’ll ever experience in your lifetime….:) WE GOTTA STAY WHERE THE LIGHT IS!

XO,

If you could create something (business, organization, etc.) without the restraints financially or otherwise, what would it be and why?

WELL, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. I started to think how awesome our society embraces physical fitness by creating programs and locales to frequent (like the Y, she-she poo-poo fitness clubs, etc.)….which I think is fantastic (for the record).

Then I thought, you know-why hasn’t anyone created a “mental fitness center”????

A place that encourages, teaches, exercises and embraces ways to focus on “mental awareness” (creativity, spirituality, positive thinking, awareness, etc.)……Here’s my daydream vision:

Externally, the center would be built to embrace things that aren’t in abundance throughout the year, based on the particular environment it is located…for example, Michigan. The winters are long……..not everyone can afford a trip to Florida during the gray doldrums of Winter Solstice. Perhaps the “mental fitness center” would be a large conservatory filled with beautiful plants/flowers, water fountains, specialized light bulbs to accomodate lack of sunshine, etc. Incorporate the things that our senses appreciate (like in the summer months) when the late Fall season occurs through late Spring….the time when most people experience the blues and/or depression….(a little utopian get-a-way!)

Perhaps this Mental Fitness Center could offer services like art, music, writing, theater, etc. which would encourage every person to understand that we all have something that we enjoy and would love to practice on a regular basis (like the above mentioned)….If the person doesn’t know where or what category they fit into, assist them with a “personal trainer” (clever, right?)???

We focus alot on our bodies but we seem to forget that our minds’ need to be exercised as well! We need to learn and create positive thinking, ways to embrace it, ways to create, understand and embrace true happiness….create a place where people think similarly and want the same….a place where creativity OOZES…..

There are SOOOOOO many incredible theories and ideas out there, let’s put them to use! Let’s try them out! Anything from Music/Art therapy to Chromotherapy……

In addition to exercising our minds, maybe there could be services that offer different methods of healing that haven’t been discovered or embraced?

It just SEEMS to me that we focus a lot on our “bodies” but we are sort of forgetting the one organ that controls everything….our brains….

Crazy notion????? Or not? What do you think?????
