Spring is here?

I think Spring has sprung and daylight savings time is here.  All the talk about having more daylight to get more stuff done; not true, the same amount of time and the same amount of daylight, all that changed was the clock so you will think there is more time.  We are so easily fooled and conned.  I am not so easily conned since my animals know what the real time is and when it is daylight.
All four of the baby goats are doing fine and having so much fun, no worries, just fun.  That is the way life should be.  The old Golden retriever dog that I took in a few weeks ago is beginning to go "downhill" I now have to pick up her back legs so she can move about.  Her hips have just worn out.  She still enjoys her bone, food and watching the cats so I do not think it is quiet time to end her life.  
The registrations for the conference are coming in really slow but I remember that it was somewhat that way last year.  It makes me worry about paying the bills but no one is concerned but me.  The plane tickets for the speakers have been purchased and now I must get enough money to pay for their hotel, etc.  Also have to pay for the event space.  I do not plan to do this again in such a big way, I will get a cheap event space and not bring in speakers next time.  I hate to say it but, "I am too old for this sort of thing".  I need to just relax and enjoy life @ 80 years of age.

Spring Holistic Lifesaving Conference

As I plan the conference, I always meet such nice people and learn so much from each one.  The weather has been so bad this winter and I really need the extra stimulation. 
I have also been putting more books on my Kindle and learning more from reading.  One of the books that I added a couple of weeks ago is: Edgewalkers by Judi Neal, phd and I added her to my list of speakers at the conference.  From her book, I realized that I am a Connector, because I love to find people and help them get together with others who can help them. 
My little Nanny goat had 4 babies this week and it is so much fun watching them play and explore.
Here is my flyer for the conference

Death of a favorite dog

This morning I am snowbound and very unhappy.  Today Bruno one of my favorite little dogs took his last breath.  He has been a bit lethargic the past few days and this morning appeared to be ill, he did not eat or drink and laid on my lap and took his last breath.  he came to me several years ago because he could not be near children and he disliked most adults.  He and I became very close friends because I was the only person who was not afraid he would bite, he never even tried to bite me.  He was a little brown toy doxie/Chihuahua mix and slept on a pillow near my head.  He got to go to the kitchen with me and had extra time with me, he looked forward to licking out the cat food can and knew when I had the empty can in my hand that it was his can.  I do not know how old he was and I am going to really miss him because he was special. One of the problems with rescuing animals is the grief that comes when they die.   Bruno was Special!

Just ranting

I am in need of a time for ranting! As I see the news, I am disturbed about what people see as important.  In one article a family is crying about the late delivery of things they ordered for gifts, boohoo, on tv crying and getting publicity.  The next article was about a family's home being destroyed by fire and no insurance, now that is something to cry about.  The very next report was about a reality tv show; the people on the show wanted to say anything they wanted without any thought of the net work who is paying them, a whole lot of threats to the network from the public; anyone with any extra time to do such things, need to "get a life" and seek out what is really important and it is not "Reality TV".  
Really thoughtful people will think of what they can do and say that  will make a positive impact on the life of someone. Part of the problem is the media, part is that people love their 15 minutes of fame and the worst part of it is that a large part of our population is so self centered and care only for themselves.
I was encouraged when I saw the CNN Heros  and also see what is being done in the Clinton Global initiative and wish I could meet and visit with those people.

Fun with my imagination

Because of the snow and ice, I need to explore my imagination and it came to me when I took my shower that, since I will not be near a human being, why should I shower and my mind wondered.  I must admit that I feel a bit refreshed after the hot shower using my structured water but....
When did Eve say to Adam, "no more sex unless you take a shower". or Adam say, "I can't kiss you unless you brush and floss".  When did our ancestors start this cleanliness business?  I know that my grandpa never brushed or flossed excepting with a twig from the peach tree.  He died at a very old age and still had every tooth and no cavities, so does it make sense for us to spend so much time doing the unnatural processes such as brushing, flossing, shampooing etc... We are always told that it is healthy, but is it?  I don't see any real research telling me that if I did not shampoo, I would loose 20 years of my life. Eve probably told Adam that she would shampoo when she found a nice hot springs.  Have you figured out how many productive hours you loose just by shampooing, flossing, brushing, etc.?
As you see, I really have a problem with being house bound for a week.  I have been learning via computer and my Kindle and have been listening to all of Dr. Mercola's Expert Interviews on www.youtube.com.  I am a close friend of www.amazon.com, www.youtube.com, Google and of course my 14 four legged, furry children.
I have also been contacting experts about being a speaker at the Holistic Wellness Conference.  Did you know that a nationally known wellness expert will charge $10,000 a day!!! I should have become an expert in something, instead of being a one thing expert, I know a lot about a lot of stuff but would not consider myself an expert.  However, I could tell you exactly what each of these experts would say at the conference.  I read a lot and listen a lot and research a lot......At the age of 79, I have had lots of time to read, listen and learn. I, of course, would have had a lot more time if I had not wasted it, bathing, shampooing, flossing and brushing.
