Shock and Awe

Launching a blitzkrieg-like propaganda campaign to bring Bridget, Chara, and Natasha back, although Bridget is probably our only viable option. Alternatively, we could swoop down to her house and sweep her away, SWAT-style, although I doubt any of us is bad-ass enough for that. I don't know how to set off those noise-and-light distraction grenade-like-things; I'm sure we'd end up distracting ourselves and failing the mission. Lorien could sing the theme song to "Mission Impossible," though, Halie and I could do an "Avengers" act, and Brenna could be the Pink Panther.

We would make the best crime-fighting team ever! Hunter would simply scare the heck out of anyone who got in our way; she could be our "point-woman." Miriam could drive the get-away car, and Sierra could distract Bridget's cats. Amina and Eden could be the "lookout" team, and "neutralize" any unexpected threats to our operation. Amina would design our disguises, of course. Good plan.

We Are Human

it's how we deal with it that matters. had a long talk over lunch with misrak about racism. she has a lot to say, and a lot to deal with. she talked about the appalling attitude of a woman she recently worked with. it's very eye-opening to hear "the other side of the story," i.e. a person of color talking about being on the receiving end of racism. it's heartbreaking and horrifying, and an education in itself. lots of work remains to be done.

The Clear Light of Day

my mom helped me put a piece of the puzzle into place today. it's all about clarity; and the more clearly i see it for what it really is, the more able i am to let go of it. we had talked about abuse and repeating behavior patterns, etc., and agreed that we were both committed to doing things differently. the abuse began to sneak in, though, and i can see that sh*t coming a mile away and knew exactly what it was when it hit. and, i didn't believe it. in retrospect, that's what it was. a kink in her operating system she wasn't dealing with. automatic danger. it's one thing if folks are prepared to deal with all of their stuff, but if they're in denial about anything, it's just going to get larger and larger until something is done. it was always going to go in just one direction. the signs were there. there really is such a thing as "too good to be true." if that's "too good to be true," then what's the real deal? where

Trimming the Fat

weeding through my entire blog--there are almost 1400 posts! quality over quantity; getting rid of stuff that seems irrelevent or misplaced or superfluous or otherwise dissatisfactory. saw a great documentary on the History Channel today about Hitler's family. turns out there are still a few living in the US! they've also had a good series on the SS, but, most importantly, tomorrow night they start the entire " Band of Brothers " series! i never tire of watching it. literally! i'm 15 pounds lighter with muscle to boot. can't believe it. cutting sugar and flour really works. started bob tonight, just love it. i'd like to get the soundtrack. dentist on friday. i'd like to get my blog to about 1000 posts. quite time consuming. turning in is the answer, not out. growth, expansion, new life. it's about time. i am so stale, and i can hardly breathe in here. the window hasn't been open for ages, and i cannot feel fresh air on my face or see the out
