Happy weekend friends!!! 
I have a few minutes to kill before D gets home and I thought I would post a quickie.
With the state of the world and the economy in shambles, it is hard to remember what is good anymore. It is especially difficult to remember what makes us the most happy when we are struggling to figure out how in the world we are going to keep our lights on, pay our mortgages… and feed our hungry tummies at the end of the day.
I have noticed that lately, blame and hate and inappropriate dialogue is more regularly exchanged between disagreeing parties. I wonder if it is the level of stress and pressure that people are under due to the current state our society is in… or if we are becoming hard, coarse humans with lack of regard for people who are different than we are. I have a hard time understanding people who think that they are better than another person based on attire or financial status… like if you have money you are all of a sudden granted the ability to live vs. another human being that is experiencing hard times.
Who decides who is better? Me? You? The Government? No.
If you were to strip the clothes off of all of us (which might be a wonderful thing for me to see… ) and took our homes and cars and fancy pants possessions up from under our pretentious noses… you and I would be the same. Living breathing people who are just trying to survive in this dog-eat-dog world of ours.
I guess what I am trying to say is, before we spout off at the mouth and make someone feel less than us because of whatever stereotype is applicable to the person… think about who they are inside. Behind the sagging jeans or BMW… past the skin color or gender… or sexual preference.
We are losing here. Losing faith, love and this sense of union that I feel like we as a race of human beings had at one point. This fact makes me sad because if we lose our sense of belonging in this world… all at the same time… then we essentially are nothing but materialistic robots fighting like pirrahnas to the top.
Who wants to live like that? I know I dont.
Today I am grateful for Saturday’s with my best friend and my Charli-bear. Today I am smiling because the sun is out, and I am wearing flip-flops and no jacket. Today, I am loved… and if you are wondering whether or not you have something to be grateful for… look in the mirror. You are alive. … and someone loves you. That someone, if there is not one other person out there who loves you in your world… is me.
What are you grateful for today?

Tired and Inspired.

Have you ever experienced a moment in time that gave you the uplift that you so needed?
It is crazy how the universe works. I never once talked about this unexplainable need to connect. I am lying. I guess what I am meaning to say is that I never said the words: “I need my soul sisters to band together with me and change lives by unconditionally loving as many people as we possibly can.”
It is coming. I can feel the turbulence. Tonight it is buzzing gently across this country. Top to bottom, WE ARE. I am positive that if one of my sisters is laying in bed as I am typing this entry in my life… She is thinking and imagining and believing in what can be. What will be.
Are you confused yet? LMAO. 
That is okay. You will get it sooner than you think. I suggest you hop on board sooner than later. Be a part of it. Do not for a second deny the inevitable. Visit A Tribe Called Joy. Add us to your friends list. And sit back and watch the magic. The magic of a handful of amazing women with even more spectacular gifts band together to create something bigger than you or me or each other.
As this week rounds to an end, so does Fall Quarter. And, (fuckalready?) 2008. I am tired. I am conflicted. I am grateful and hopeful and wishful… and blessed. I am inspired. I am sitting with some guilt and shame. I need to go to an alanon meeting sooner than later. I need a hug from Tara. A big one. And my Tribe. Even the ones I have yet to share air with. I need Charli to give me a fucking break. I need Xavier to stop lying. I need to appreciate D more. I need to appreciate ME more.
You know what though? This place right here gives me an outlet to be me, and you all are so accepting of who I am. I am pretty sure that this blog or any blog that I ever could draft up could never say how happy I am to banter with all of you every single day.
Thank you.
What are you stewing on as the week and the year comes to a close?
If you picked me for a Secret Santa event, and the limit to spend was $50 what would you get me?
What is one thing on your Christmas list… (even if you dont think you will ever get it in this lifetime.)
Have you ever had passionate sex under the Christmas Tree?
This last question is one that I am really asking for advice on: If someone told you something that you morally could not keep a secret, would you tell the appropriate person without letting them know you did, or would you confront that person and tell them that you were unable to keep their trust?
