Lesions in Colon

Trash Doggie Labrador Stylie, she has figured out the trash days in the neighborhood, Tuesdays are really fun except when it turns into a 150.00 vet visit because fresh blood is found in her stool. I guess the protocol is a shot for the inflamation, no food for twenty four hours, pills to curb the bad bacteria in her system and pills for bowel control. It was her first visit in five years, knock on wood, and she had her ears checked and determined they needed cleaning and care as well. I was going off how often she shook her head but needed to look in her ears for the debris. She is the best dog ever especially in these trying times Her Power Snuggling right at the Heart Chakra is priceless. She and the neighbor dog Hemi, won’t leave the featherbed so I am sucked in as well to the sleepy lizard kapha energy. Merry Christmas, and happy Trash Sorting! Hilo and Hemi.

Irony of the Divine is Present

This was starting to happen, I had awesome boatman lined up however due to life’s craziness, and I think a blessing indisguise because I am now having health issues, I had to cancel My Grand Canyon Permit, I surrendered at the last possible date and the lottery office was “nice” but kinda trite with a “better luck next time” attitude, oh well, they will fill the slot and I get that’s why we have a new lotto system in place. What I learned about playing, not sure?, Maybe its the fact that I went for it. I had friends become super psyched and want to go, but in reality I need to have my river community pretty tight and dialed in to make it happen. I have been very solo in my life due to? Poor boyfriend choices as of recently and I hope to reconfigure that by going internal and creating myself as a better partner as well! Have had lots of solitude time, and realizing the Thyroid gland is not working for my body right now. It runs in my family and unlocking this genetic physiology puzzle could be a huge breakthrough. I feel like I could turn the “internal fire” back on and accomplish the things I really see myself doing, but in the mean time the mantra of Heal Thyself First, keeps popping in my head. —xojk

This has been my last two years, in Idaho, I know I will think of some other moments that will need to be added but I thought I would start here. You may get some of the notes, but really it was a full, beautiful trip, and I know "writing down the bones" will help me process what happened and what emotions I went through. The people who helped me get here to live this ID life, my mom Lauree Olsen, Kimmee Garner, Seamus, Jamie, Amelia Merritt, Dad and Jan. Friends that helped me a long the way, Eric Schanz, Pauli in Australia, Seam, Galen Webster, Lindsey Johnson,Piper, Dave Anderson, Idaho Bio Science nerds,Adam and Tona, Dan and Casey, Abbie Siefert, Bob, Judy, Mattie, and Liz Clark. To CC who I wish knew what We had. And to those who are helping me return to Utah, Missy, Karen, D'ana, Kathleen, Amelia, Preston, and Galen. I am sure I missed some folks and also family, I have to acknowledge Hilo Girl through all the craziness just wants to be with me, I can do no wrong, Thank God for DoGs, because they teach us about unconditional LOVE, and God knows I have a lot to learn.
