*Note: I’ve written, deleted, re -written this post over again a million times since my last Reiki session, trying to walk the fine line of how much to share with the interweb. I decided to share as much of my story as I could because when I needed answers, other peoples stories helped me find my way. Kind of.* Peace and Joy, I kept repeating in my head. Peace and fucking joy. Life is a series of challenges and if the way you deal with them on a daily basis isn’t working for you anymore it’s time to re-evaluate your coping methods. Popping...

Happy Preppers Stock Piling For Doomsday In 3 days we’re gonna finally find out if the Mayan’s were mind fucking us all by abruptly ending their calendar on the first day of our winter solstice- December 21st 2012. This has caused panic from people around the world believing civilization will cease to exist when the calendar ends. Since the Mayans didn’t say exactly IF the world would end on that day, some occult writers, bloggers and new age visionaries are cashing in on peoples paranoia and have prophesied several doomsday scenarios ; The planet Nibiru will emerge from its hiding place behind the sun and...

Smiling Blue Skies Walk To End Canine Cancer

“Let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic and we can change the world” Jack Layton BAKE A CHANGE I use to think when I was a little girl that the only way I could make a difference in the world was to become a Superhero. Don my cape and truth lasso like Wonder Woman and save good people from corrupt men and evil doers. Then I grew up and finally came to my senses. I know I’d spend more time looking for my cape and invisible jet and get all tied up in my golden lasso then actually save innocent people from fat white men in suits. Maybe all a girl can do is find her passion in life-do it and share that joy helping...
