Wow so our cities burned down and incredibly fireworks can still be sold? WTF How is this level of stupidity even possible? episode 73 offers names numbers and calls to action and theatrical creations to ban OR ffire werk sales.

If pain were an animal -what animal would it be? If pain were a conversation- what would it say ? episode #70 is all about communicating in various ways with the sensation of pain in attempt to listen /learn - if anything can be done -even when there may be no obvious or clear visible solutions… Enjoy

In this episode my question is -do you like poetry? The time post fire was oft a darkly lucrative time -a few pieces came out of it, so sharing “a wake” also ask if you have an evening meditation -to get your body and nervous system to rest? is if not I offer one that you can use adopt or throw to the wind -and lastly a fun one - for you kinksters in da house!

This episode was originally recorded on Sept 12, 2020 ( days after Oregon’s worst natural disaster - The Almeda Fire- ravaged cities across southern Oregon and burned 3000 structures to the ground. At that point I had only seen pictures of ashes of my house - After evacuating twice, staying in a hotel and then camping i was relocating to a family friends home. unexpectedly took my old once favorite back country roads to get a visual sense of what happened. Sound quality is poor due to open windows no equipment etc. I will add a transcript soon. Cue the classic rock song “long way home” by Supertramp here

oooh Mic check 1..2. recording in my little sound studio finally. HOWS IT SOUND LOL. a few equipment hook ups still needed -and minor adjustments otherwise the closet is open for business 🙌 Have you ever experienced sensitivity to a newly manufactured item! off-gassing reactions are definitely a thing. it was in 1995 SAFE movie With Juliana Moore that I first learned about the phenomenon https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0114323/

Remember that Children’s Book “Where the wild things are”? During a recent pain flare/ body breakdown- I had a dream that felt oddly akin to Max’s Journey. Tho this pain episode began days ago- I remain in bed. facing invisible monsters. chronic illness creates such unusual challenges physically and mentally. feeling love/ support and acceptance in the midst of body breakdown -has been crucial for my own personal healing! https://www.amazon.com/HarperCollins-Harper-Collins-Publishers-Things/dp/B007I2BYI0/ref=asc_df_B007I2BYI0/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=242118342640&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7531931864547178375&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=200819&hvtargid=pla-455396266765&psc=1

Cue the Beatles “help” song here! This episode is not a cry for help - but to acknowledge people helping each other in times of general need or urgent crisis and just -day-to-day. Sometimes just the right help- at the right time - arriving in the right form -is what makes this all doable ( and endurable) I will add some show notes and links here soon!

i’m on a mission to generate self-sustaining (or at least supplemental) income for myself - pursuing a new marketable life skill as a newly relocated recovering disaster survivor with a disability over age 50-during a pandemic is NO SMALL STEP ! Let me share a few PDX orgs offering valuable resources. Prosper Portland https://prosperportland.us/ And Livelihood NW https://livelihoodnw.org/ have been incredible in communicating and connecting me to applicable business and entrepreneurial start up info and resources!
