The way I see it, there are two kinds of dreams.
One is a dream that’s always going to be just that…a dream.
Then there’s a dream that’s more than a dream; it’s like…a map.

thurs, may 20, 2010
Do you know how sometimes we don't give things a chance; simply because we did not "stop to smell the roses", and it comes back and we see it and finally appreciate it?
One of my clients led me on a journey tonight. It started months ago. She said you had to go and see David Whyte - in an e-mail....for purposes unknown I knew we had to be in the same room.
Tonight I have realized so many things in his discussion with us....words that carry in what he describes as conversations that we have day to day that affect us all. I always believed in this.
He discusses vulnerability, and how it leads to enlightenment. I discuss this daily with people and truly believe in it. How can one create a relationship with oneself like we do with work and our partner without truly being vulnerable with our self like we are in these other settings?
Everyone's journey as an athlete and a person are parallel in nature and the medium, realize this.
Competing and making yourself vulnerable leads to enlightenment. You are saying, "here I am, here is my purpose, here is my everything"...do not be afraid of it; enjoy it.
You might just discover a relationship with your self that you never had but always wanted.
Be a provenance
of something gathered, a summation of
previous intuitions, let your vulnerabilities
walking on the cracked sliding limestone
be this time, not a weakness, but a faculty
for understanding what's about
to happen - David Whyte

by-product feedstuffs
thanks to Doug Zirkle for this one; listen to the announcers and tell me that you do not get chills after Chris does this..."you are completely capable of anything you REALLY wish to do!"
New term you need to know: “by-product feedstuffs”
Fresh pasture and dried grasses are the natural diet of all ruminant animals. In factory farms, animals are switched to an unnatural diet based on corn and soy. But corn and soy are not the only ingredients in their “balanced rations.” Many large-scale dairy farmers and feedlot operators save money by feeding the cows “by-product feedstuffs” as well. In general, this means waste products from the manufacture of human food. In particular, it can mean sterilized city garbage, candy, bubble gum, floor sweepings from plants that manufacture animal food, bakery, potato wastes or a scientific blend of pasta and candy.
Here are some of the “by-product feedstuffs" commonly used in dairy cattle diets.
- Candy. Candy products are available through a number of distributors and sometimes directly from smaller plants… They are sometimes fed in their wrappers…. Candies, such as cull gummy bears, lemon drops or gum drops are high in sugar content.
- Bakery Wastes. Stale bread and other pastry products from stores or bakeries can be fed to dairy cattle in limited amounts. These products are sometimes fed as received without drying or even removal of the wrappers.
- Potato Waste is available in potato processing areas, and includes cull potatoes, French fries and potato chips. Cull fresh potatoes that are not frozen, rotten, or sprouted can be fed to cows either whole or chopped. Potato waste straight from a processing plant may contain varying amounts of inedible or rotten potatoes. French fries and chips contain fats or oils from frying operations.
- Starch. Unheated starch is available from some candy manufacturers and sometimes may contain pieces of candy.
- Pasta is available from pasta plants and some ingredient distributors as straight pasta or in blends with other ingredients, such as candy.
*This list is excerpted from “By-Product Feedstuffs in Dairy Cattle Diets in the Upper Midwest,” published in 2008 by the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

One of my clients came back from a hiatus in France where she took 3 weeks to learn how to paint. She had always wanted to do this (as above). So she took the time, learned from the best and had some things to say about it. It led us into a conversation about when she was there she found herself saying how she felt so "alive" for the 1st time in a long while due "being in the moment" while she painted. Furthermore, we discussed how society perceives "living". Everyone asks, "so what do you do for a living". Our answers are - "I work at the hospital", or "I'm an engineer"....and of course Mom and Dad are always asking "but what are you going to do to make a living".
Question is, are we TRULY living. If so, should that not make us feel alive in each moment we are there doing the above. If not I'd suggest re-thinking what "living" means to you, and get rid of what your previous perceptions were of being alive.
Today is the day to change that.
