It keep coming back...annoying! so here are some thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main culprit in athlete's foot is moisture. Air drying between toes is very important as most people just jump out of the shower and put on socks without taking time to dry their feet. Use a hairdryer or sit down and towel dry between each toe manually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might need a drying agent in your shoes if your feet get really sweaty-baking soda or powder will do the trick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can wash your shoes that might help kill any fungus in there or just drying them for a few minutes on high heat will kill the fungus. If your shoe are leather try an essential oil like lavender or tea tree, spray in in shoes and on feet and let it dry. You don't want to keep putting your feet in shoes that are infected so clean them up in some way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Socks... make sure they breathe, that your feet have enough room in your shoes to breathe. Athlete's foot like warm, moist cramped dark spaces... give your feet some breathing space and watch it disappear. you might need to change socks for a bit to some with more wicking ability, or natural fiber like bamboo that are anti-fungal and naturally move water away from the body.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34762731-475783162025987441?l=blog.phoenixbodywork.com%2Findex.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.phoenixbodywork.com/2009/10/athletes-foot.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amy)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34762731.post-3696849940935252208</guid><pubDate>Tue, 29 Sep 2009 03:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-28T21:00:35.179-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Choose Your Monday</category><title>monday!</title><description>dragging through and yet amazingly energetic and inspired... i feel at odds with myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;how is Grace(my intention for Sept) supporting me?&lt;/span&gt; well it's helping me cope, it's pointing out moments of space, it's allowing me to say NO and to take better self care in stress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;how do i want Grace to lighten my issues this week?&lt;/span&gt; well i am having a money freak out and yet have been gifted the opportunity to teach again this weekend so money will follow in a bit... but it's feeling tight and i am feeling the extra pounds i have packed on this year. that may be due to my increase in working out or it could just be that i have finally looked at myself for the first time in 9 months, so &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;i'd&lt;/span&gt; love some compassion and some hope that i can shed this emotional weight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;who or what is giving me energy?&lt;/span&gt; travel! i am traveling for work! and this is what i have always wanted and i am doing it and succeeding and having fun!&lt;br /&gt;friends, tea and grapes harvested from my parents yard! amazing things those grapes!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;what quality would i like to call in?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;i'd&lt;/span&gt; like to remember to take time to meditate. i know it's not a quality but it will give me calm, clarity, comfort, trust, love, epiphanies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;i'd&lt;/span&gt; also like to build in time to dance and move my beautiful body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and a new thing i am adding and expecting the universe to provide a solution to within the week&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;my question for the week...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;how can i shed these emotional/physical/mental burdens?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34762731-3696849940935252208?l=blog.phoenixbodywork.com%2Findex.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.phoenixbodywork.com/2009/09/monday.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amy)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34762731.post-3475758654446256169</guid><pubDate>Wed, 23 Sep 2009 19:39:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-23T12:48:17.204-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>retreats</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>life</category><title>linking you to the incredible</title><description>so I have this amazing friend who read my last post and went and did the research for me. thank you love! she needs a job, anyone need an amazing research lady, or general admin help or a personal assistant in portland area?

You can reach her at &lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;font-family:Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:78%;color:#000000;"   &gt; 206.905.9343 or email her at ineedanudge@gmail.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;talking about the tale of Rumplestiltskin...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Psychoanalyze this tale a bit and you'll see that Rumplestiltskin is part of the personality of the miller's daughter. In the Freudian vocabulary, he is her Id. For you Jungians, he is the Shadow. But whatever you call it, Rumplestiltskin represents a creative force that the girl has within her &lt;em&gt;from the start&lt;/em&gt;. She just doesn't realize it.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;And that's where we all are. We all have the power to spin straw - to transform our mundane abilities and talents - into gold - into our hearts' desire. We might need some level of desperation to see this, maybe not a threat of death, but something that shakes us out of the status quo. And even then, like the miller's daughter, we're more likely to weep and wail than to take action. We need a nudge, but we also need to be daring. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Daring to use our hidden powers - that side of us that is reckless, creative, even dangerous - that is what delivers amazing results.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;It's also what terrifies us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(79, 96, 79); font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;font-family:Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:78%;color:#4f604f;"   &gt;&lt;div&gt;The miller's daughter got what she wanted - three rooms of gold, a powerful husband and a baby -  and decided she no longer needed her creative muse. She sent Rumplestiltskin packing (to the netherworld, according to most versions of the tale; Freud and Jung would concur). In the traditional world of the fairy tale, anyone with an active Id is in trouble. Better to settle down.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;But many of us settle down long before we fulfill our dreams. We banish our inner Rumplestiltskin way too early. We play it safe. We are terrified, actually, of how wonderful we could be if we let ourselves be our &lt;em&gt;true&lt;/em&gt; selves. Our Id is dangerous, that's a fact. But it can be activated &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; controlled. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;This week, think a bit about Rumplestiltskin. See if your unconscious comes up with some terrific new idea that you've never had before, simply because you've invited your Id to play a part in your life. This is precisely what happened to me this week. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;And the question, remember, is not really "straw or gold?" It's really "death or gold?" Which will you choose?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34762731-5195195028959731103?l=blog.phoenixbodywork.com%2Findex.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.phoenixbodywork.com/2009/09/spinning-straw-confronting-shadow.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amy)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34762731.post-5505983203501781164</guid><pubDate>Tue, 08 Sep 2009 04:10:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-07T21:26:08.067-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Choose Your Monday</category><title>OMG i almost missed Monday's wish</title><description>September intention was grace... i think or maybe ease. crap look at me fail all over myself. i choose Grace today... right now! and since it is the first official Monday of September may it be so!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;how is grace supporting me?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well it is allowing me to laugh at myself over not knowing my intention, and it is bringing me delightful surprises and some non-delightful tummy aches (actually i'm not sure what the tummy aches are about)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;how do i want grace to lighten my issues?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by reminding me i am perfectly ok&lt;br /&gt;by letting clients fall into my awareness&lt;br /&gt;by making my "new thing" feel expansive and easy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;who or what is giving me energy?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;painting&lt;br /&gt;meditation/visualization&lt;br /&gt;zac efron and that cute dancing chick from hairspray &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;(if i was a real person i would so look up her name i mean she got an oscar nod but no i am not)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;what quality would i like to call in?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;can money be a quality? cause more would be awesome right now with the whole October property taxes looming over me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ooh&lt;/span&gt;

Today’s markets are those where the majority of trades are done &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2009/07/08/60761/the-cold-war-in-high-frequency-trading"&gt;literally robotically&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;We want a visible handshake: to trust and to be trusted.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You wanted growth — faster. &lt;strong&gt;We want to &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/ee45bc28-6097-11de-aa12-00144feabdc0.html"&gt;slow down&lt;/a&gt; — so we can become better.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You didn’t care which communities were capsized, or which &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/09/business/global/09drug.html"&gt;lives were sunk&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;We want a rising tide that lifts all boats.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You wanted to biggie size life: McMansions, Hummers, and McFood. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/joepublic/2009/jul/07/spark-social-enterprise"&gt;We want to humanize life&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You wanted exurbs, sprawl, and gated anti-communities. &lt;strong&gt;We want a society built on &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/25/dining/25brooklyn.html"&gt;authentic community&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You wanted more money, credit and leverage — to consume ravenously. &lt;strong&gt;We want to be great at doing &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://blogs.harvardbusiness.org/haque/2009/01/davos_discussing_a_depression.html"&gt;stuff that &lt;em&gt;matters&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You sacrificed the meaningful for the material: you sold out the very things that made us great for trivial gewgaws, trinkets, and gadgets. &lt;strong&gt;We’re not for sale: we’re learning to once again do &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.kiva.org/"&gt;what is meaningful&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There’s a tectonic shift rocking the social, political, and economic landscape&lt;/strong&gt;. The last two points above are what express it most concisely. I hate labels, but I’m going to employ a flawed, imperfect one: Generation “M.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What do the “M”s in Generation M stand for?&lt;/strong&gt; The first is for a &lt;em&gt;movement&lt;/em&gt;. It’s a little bit about age — but mostly about a growing number of people who are acting very differently. They are doing &lt;em&gt;meaningful stuff that matters the most&lt;/em&gt;. Those are the second, third, and fourth “M”s.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Gen M is about passion, responsibility, authenticity, and challenging yesterday’s way of everything. Everywhere I look, I see an explosion of Gen M businesses, NGOs, open-source communities, local initiatives, government. Who’s Gen M? &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.barackobama.com/"&gt;Obama&lt;/a&gt;, kind of. &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com/corporate/execs.html#larry"&gt;Larry &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com/corporate/execs.html#sergey"&gt;Sergey&lt;/a&gt;. The &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.threadless.com/"&gt;Threadless&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.etsy.com/"&gt;Etsy&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1186931,00.html"&gt;Flickr guys&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/EV"&gt;Ev,&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/biZ"&gt;Biz&lt;/a&gt; and the Twitter crew. &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://blogs.harvardbusiness.org/haque/2009/06/revolution.html"&gt;Tehran 2.0&lt;/a&gt;. The folks at &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.kiva.org/"&gt;Kiva&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/"&gt;Talking Points Memo&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.findthefarmer.com/"&gt;FindtheFarmer&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.miyamotoshrine.com/"&gt;Shigeru Miyamoto&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.apple.com/pr/bios/jobs.html"&gt;Steve Jobs&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://muhammadyunus.org/"&gt;Muhammad Yunus&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.earth.columbia.edu/articles/view/1804"&gt;Jeff Sachs&lt;/a&gt; are like the grandpas of Gen M. There are tons where these innovators came from.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Gen M isn’t just kind of awesome — it’s vitally necessary. If you think the “M”s sound idealistic, think again.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The great crisis isn’t going away, changing, or &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2009/07/08/60921/guest-post-mohamed-el-erian-the-global-crisis-is-morphing-again/"&gt;“morphing.”&lt;/a&gt; It’s the same old crisis — and it’s growing. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You’ve failed to recognize it for what it really is. It is, as I’ve repeatedly pointed out, in our institutions: the rules by which our economy is organized.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But they’re &lt;em&gt;your&lt;/em&gt; institutions, not ours. You made them — and they’re broken. Here’s &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.frbsf.org/news/speeches/2009/0630.html"&gt;what I mean&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“… For example, the auto industry has cut back production so far that inventories have begun to shrink — even in the face of historically weak demand for motor vehicles. As the economy stabilizes, just slowing the pace of this inventory shrinkage will boost gross domestic product, or GDP, which is the nation’s total output of goods and services.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Clearing the backlog of SUVs built on 30-year-old technology is going to pump up GDP? So what? There couldn’t be a clearer example of why GDP is a totally flawed concept, an obsolete institution. We don’t need more land yachts clogging our roads: we need a 21st Century auto industry.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I was (kind of) kidding about seceding before. Here’s what it looks like to me: every generation has a challenge, and this, I think, is ours: to foot the bill for yesterday’s profligacy — and to &lt;strong&gt;create, instead, an authentically, sustainably shared prosperity&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Anyone  — young or old  — can answer it. Generation M is more about &lt;em&gt;what&lt;/em&gt; you do and &lt;em&gt;who&lt;/em&gt; you are than &lt;em&gt;when&lt;/em&gt; you were born. So the question is this: do you still belong to the 20th century – &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://vimeo.com/3204792"&gt;or the 21st?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Love,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Umair and the Edge Economy Community&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34762731-2059348627837020724?l=blog.phoenixbodywork.com%2Findex.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.phoenixbodywork.com/2009/09/m-magic-as-well-as-all-this.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amy)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34762731.post-5955949253641251426</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2009 18:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-31T11:34:08.814-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>intention</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Choose Your Monday</category><title>manifest mondays</title><description>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;how is my intention for the month supporting me?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;since tomorrow is Sept I am picking a new intention...

Removal of harsh chemo drugs from system, these drugs settle in tissues and digestive system and can eventually lead to complications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nurturing pain free touch. This gets clients back in their body after traumatic life experiences and months of feeling like crap. Assists in clients well-being and relief of nausea, pain, stress and surgical trauma. Re-integration to their body.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Assists in circulation and lymph drainage. Reflexology allows the body to relax which opens the circulatory system allowing fluids to flow, pick up and distribute waste and nutrition to cells and facilitates increase health through potential stimulation of white blood cell creation.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Body and Self love. reflexology allows time for deep healing relaxation, this stimulates the expression of deep emotions that have been pushed aside. Allowing fear, grief and pain to surface and leave the body opens the client to deep self love, calm and a sense of connection to all--allowing profound healing and shortened recovery time.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; may we find a way to alter the harsh experiences cancer makes us experience. may we find a kinder, gentler healing process.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34762731-1467143657881342725?l=blog.phoenixbodywork.com%2Findex.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.phoenixbodywork.com/2009/08/reflexology-and-cancer.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amy)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34762731.post-5099308476829256709</guid><pubDate>Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:32:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-20T09:45:17.994-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>life</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>home</category><title>the invasion begins</title><description>&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&amp;amp;ik=04a024eb12&amp;amp;view=att&amp;amp;th=12332dc3c9d6d4f4&amp;amp;attid=0.9&amp;amp;disp=emb&amp;amp;zw" height="275" width="420" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;apparently&lt;/span&gt; we were invaded by aliens in Washington&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i do not feel any different, maybe a bit more positive so maybe these be good aliens. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;i couldn't see the spaceships from my house in Seattle, they were sort of blurry due to the hazy pollution and i thought they were just strange clouds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;" align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&amp;amp;ik=04a024eb12&amp;amp;view=att&amp;amp;th=12332dc3c9d6d4f4&amp;amp;attid=0.1&amp;amp;disp=emb&amp;amp;zw" height="313" width="470" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;p.s. that is Mount Rainier, it is 14,400 feet high. those are some seriously large space ships&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34762731-5099308476829256709?l=blog.phoenixbodywork.com%2Findex.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.phoenixbodywork.com/2009/08/invasion-begins.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amy)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34762731.post-111290997108474939</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Aug 2009 17:06:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-18T10:10:25.632-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>research</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>environment</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>earth</category><title>castor oil in my ski boots</title><description>YES please.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;those of you who have seen me for a reflexology treatment know of my undying and sometimes annoying love of castor oil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well now there are new reasons to love this incredible rich plant: &lt;a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/08/downing_a_dose_1.php?dcitc=th_rss"&gt;ski boots!&lt;/a&gt; made from plastic from castor oil.

I think PLAY is supporting me to not take life so seriously, I've been dancing a bit more and when I don't know what to focus on for my business I have surrendered to outside, books, a movie here and there and art.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;How do I want Joy to lighten this week?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I feel as if I am &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;tittering&lt;/span&gt; on the edge of a big giant change and I want to find ways to delight in looking over the precipice and to tease my way into falling forward instead of back into the known. I think the idea that laughter and games awaits me on the other side is a nice carrot to dangle. This week I shall find people to laugh with!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Who or What is giving me energy?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Art... randomly picking up scraps of paper and doodling is helping me this week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What quality would I like to call in from the Divine (nature, love, spirit, something larger than me)?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grace. I so desire to move out of these stories that are keeping me small and in a state of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;financial&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;chaos&lt;/span&gt;. I know I can survive the next incarnation of me, and I know it will be easier on some level but I just can't get  myself to fall forward into it. I am so attached to being poor and small and invisible... Grace to embrace the changes &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;occurring&lt;/span&gt; and allow myself to surrender and let go with out the kicking and the thrashing out and the pain I am currently &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;experiencing&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May it be so!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34762731-5186735716426845999?l=blog.phoenixbodywork.com%2Findex.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.phoenixbodywork.com/2009/08/choose-your-life-mondays-1-yes-i-know.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amy)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34762731.post-8363657288071628916</guid><pubDate>Sat, 08 Aug 2009 02:55:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-07T19:56:46.046-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>amy's soap box</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>love</category><title></title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://blog.phoenixbodywork.com/uploaded_images/sunsetlapush-737004.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://blog.phoenixbodywork.com/uploaded_images/sunsetlapush-736990.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;You deserve happiness, love, joy and ease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember this and find ways and opportunities to smile, laugh and celebrate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most elegant and beautiful thing about humanity is the ability to take a really hard situation, to feel the heartache and pain and to keep going... it is stunningly beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May you fall apart and re-build yourself anew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be gentle.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34762731-8363657288071628916?l=blog.phoenixbodywork.com%2Findex.html'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.phoenixbodywork.com/2009/08/you-deserve-happiness-love-joy-and-ease.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Amy)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34762731.post-5531281994212858517</guid><pubDate>Fri, 07 Aug 2009 16:14:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-07T09:23:58.370-07:00</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>manifesting</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>amy's soap box</category><title>why do some people...</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://blog.phoenixbodywork.com/uploaded_images/images-736947.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 80px; height: 120px;" src="http://blog.phoenixbodywork.com/uploaded_images/images-736945.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;...have so much trouble and/or bad luck?

Other bad news her not-yet-paid-off car needs a couple thousand dollars of work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what is it that &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;attracts&lt;/span&gt; this?
