Well . . . .Maybe? Perhaps you need to get lost to find yourself!
In Australia, we have that freedom.
They, (whoever they are), are tirelessly at work to undo our liberties.
Let's Go.
The beginnings of my blog defined by my welcome page, today - come from a long time ago. Six (6) + human years from today.
My blog perhaps is a journal, maybe a diary, a place to keep my bits and bobs as I dabble randomly in my life and practise for myself amongst the busyness. It could be, a cathartic discipline a verbal purging, from being heaved around in our patriarchal systems and seeing it for what it is.
Is my blogging worthwhile to release my emotions and frustrations, especially considering the hidden challenges of motherhood duties? To be met with stop complaining.
Despite dedicating myself wholeheartedly, studying, excelling, and investing significantly more time than the recorded census average of 3.5 hours per week 😳 spent on home management, the work remains unrecognized and uncompensated. I pray to God, that this changes soon.
The streets will become safe again.
In the system. . . the running of a home (by man or woman) with family is in actuality unpaid work without leave or absence, to meet the criteria of our corrupt systems. The feelings usually accompanied by this manipulated and gaslighted position of work were once upon a time diagnosed in our sisters as hysteria, depression, anxiety, mental illness, and hormonal.
Women's Hysteria was medicated with booze and pills, (and/or were assaulted to reach orgasm [release] by the local GP.
Have we come far? Mmmmm, let's take a look at Mental Health.
In ancient times defined as slavery, and in READ MORE
current times defined as covert operations
including manipulation, gaslighting, ridiculed, and weakened, ridiculed and leaving a projection of women now men) hating themselves, losing their identity and their role within society and modern day slavery.
This is a problem. For men and women.
The conversation surrounding women has been tampered with, and in your psyche, deep in the bones "a feeling in your waters", a woman knows this. The slap in the face or societal concern here though is if a woman raises her opinion with this idea of unpaid work she is immediately slapped, and ghosted by the immediate, and mostly global conversation which has resulted in a lot of damage and a lot of deflection to misdirect blame.
Motherhood demands full-time dedication. Balancing multiple full-time roles inevitably leads to shortcomings in certain areas. The system is grinding us.
Motherhood, homemaker, (the most important and tireless job in the world), in today's reality is never going to support a mother or her children financially to succeed. It is not possible for a man to meet this demand with everyday work, which is what the humans where promised in the system.
Because the woman's role is seldom praised: The passion, loyalty and commitment to exceed in a professional manner of motherhood (in the name of love ), from the dedication once deeply ingrained in our DNA, for many women, is thinning. There is no guarantee of financial stability nor appreciation for their efforts.
In fact, my love and commitment to my children and "woman's roles" has cost me and shamed me ( meticulously and methodically in detail, over and over again) not only by men, and institutions but by my sisterhood too. I pray for progress and action for change.
I believe the answers are in preserved cultures from the dawn of time and faith in your relationship to God.
I search for a solution and retelling the story in Global Conversation. I dream of having our Men and Women unashamedly in love again and again, with a richness in taking care of the family. No fear, no guilt nor shame, for wishing to take care of family and be compensated for looking after the home and dependents, regardless of your efforts.
The stripping of your power is dismantled by your identity as a Man or a Woman mede in the image of God.
Part of this national conversation was developed by the positivity trap. A psy-opped trend developed to deny and validate the actuality of goings-on within our society's systems. I refuse to be damaged any longer by the danger trap of toxic positivity. I seek and acknowledge the Truth."
I am whole. This includes days when I am immaculate, where I am full and beautiful and excited, and I can do anything. I have every day days, I do my work, I have routines and I sleep well at night (well most nights). I have horrible, freaky days where my eyes are red, and secretions can run out of every opening on my body and if you talk to me, I get angry or have anxiety attacks. That is the way it is, and that is ok.
It is a part of life. The denial of this is dangerous. It breaks us down.
What is not ok, a society fuelled by illusion and pleasure alone. It's hurting humans, especially our children. It is not ok, to take advantage of humans' kindness and their labour of love.
The trickery that is highly evident, in today's society is brilliantly described as Militarism democracy. Amongst a myriad cocktail of everything, our authorities are only the second barrier. Accountability comes from the individual and should always be directed to the tip of the heirachal pyramid.
Please click that link and watch the documentary clip, it's real. Think about it. This 'so called democracy' plays out in our trained beliefs, coming from hierarchal systems, governmental departments, religious systems, racial roles, gender roles, monetary systems, business identities and now from a global pandemic sense - in our health systems, where you are denied rights over your body. The stigma surrounding these systems, and roles is utilised for us to blame each other and for groups to remain suppressed.
I came to this knowledge as I survived, Homelessness, Abuse, Assault, and Trauma leading to a complete breakdown. Every day I got up as a Mother, and every day I was knocked down.
Thank you God, for getting us through. I know in the darkest hour I can get up and tend to my children. Knocked out from my Arena. I am back in the arena albeit a different ring, armed from my training, from systems that benefit their own.
How do I define this in a blog? So much of everything. I came up with my six (6) icons, listed below. It is a bright kaleidoscope, colourful and chaotic. It is specific and intense.
I share my lifestyle and favourite bloggers from my curiosity, eagerness, and despair to understand my human ness and relations with other humans. This blog is my healing balm for my pain and a coping mechanism for this one beautiful, adventurous, wild, magical life as a biological woman! It is glorious as it is dismal, and if I can help or save one life, my work is done.
I group these things an icon ummmm index if you like.
It is for the ease of understanding one woman's chaos. For you to find the things you like, but you might know that these things overlap, merge, move and hate to be pinned down, and categorised.
Reminding you of anyone?
I index and file my Blogs - only because too much chaos, doesn't serve my kind of human who follows me.
I love colour and images, so I hope you enjoy the collaboration of art & creativity, that you will see all over this rich blanket of web weaving that I am stitching lock by lock, in my cloud - that ultimately brings you closer to the ground and God! Where it really slows down. Slow down everyone your moving to fast.
YOGA
Yoga Icon: [single yellow flower] You can mostly expect tips, stories, and aha moments from my classes and the immersion into teacher training and Bikram's Hot Yoga. My first enquiry began in the 80s. Yoga draws you to India and the God's and Goddesses of India. Tread carefully with idols. Enjoy the bendy beauty of this culture.
FOOD & TRAVEL
Food & Travel Icon: [boquet leaves, blossoms & flowers]
Food and travel, two of my favourite things. Food is universal and relates to everybody. I have found in my travels, it offers a peek into the culture and 'women's business', all over the world. I share it with you for your kitchen.
DANCE
Dance Icon: [two blossoms]
The Journey of Dance. Beginning in Africa in 2002. This special Awakening is a language that speaks to everyone. If you let it take you, you are on a transformational ride around the globe following the line of the African Diaspora. My, what a ride!
RHYTHM
Rhythm Icon: [three flowers] Everything is Rhythm. The cycle of breath becomes the ocean, becomes the moon, becomes the seasons, becomes the routine, and the predictable yes - then no. Knowing and unknowing. There are no words. A pulse a compression, a silence an
expansion. My hardest topic to reveal.
Rhythm is calling me in now. I am.
MIRACLES
Miracle Icon: [one beetle]
The everlasting " click beetle". I share the humans I have walked with Ground Medicine, Profound Healing Arts, Faith and Production of wants, Miracles, the feeling in your bones, and Searching with God. Knowledge of Herbs, Prophecy with God, respectful to his role of a virtuous Woman,
partnered or no.
WOMAN'S BUSINESS
Woman's Business Icon: [one conch shell]
I preserve woman. I am woman. Woman in her purest form has no choice but to support and preserve man. To respect hermaphrodites and any LGBTQ + variations, and lifeforms. NB: [BOUNDARIES] I do not support biological men or hermaphrodites in women's circles. Their business is a movement on it's own. I am letting you know the moment other identities step into a woman's circle, it is
no longer women's business. It is now another business. If other identities participate and it is defined as Women's Business it becomes ugly. When you understand this, claim it and embrace it, only then can you know the power of woman, the power of men and the power of others. There is a place for everybody. God determines your place, the free will of humans and other beings will surely take you everywhere not necessarily, your place.
