I love you more than dirt!

If I say to you that I love you more than dirt, you might say back in a snarky manner, "Well Thanks Gina..."
If I say this to you, it means that I truly love you. You see I am going to go off my rocker here for a second and explain some things. Dirt to me, is more than just some inconvenient substance beneath my feet. My love for dirt started when I was a kid. Isn't it almost every child's most favorite natural thing, DIRT!? We get jaded as we grow, the pureness and innocence of our connection to the Earth sort of gets miss placed. Dirt is ALIVE! My relationship with dirt is restored because now more than ever I understand it. The make-up it presents is fascinating. It is unfortunate to me that we cover it up with concrete, blast away at it, changing it's path indefinitely. Without dirt we would not be. Dirt is the skin of the Earth. It should be our most prized natural resource. It should be handled with care and positive energy. Sealing it off and contaminating it, I fear will be our biggest mistake as Humans. Think about how sick we are..? As a creature on this Earth, produced by the very elements the Earth is made of, we are not thriving. We are sick. Disease is something almost every person I know deals with. The sad and increasingly devastating number of children that are sick in our country is cantankerous. It seems as though it is just too much to deal with, but in reality it is not! The beautiful truth is that you can make the difference in your own home. One by one, families can reverse this epidemic immediately. Here is the kicker, eating right, RIGHT NOW is the solution to your problems. Your body is an incredible vessel that has natural healing powers. You just have to fuel it properly. You can make the difference with your children with these numbers. If you are a kid reading this, stand up for yourself and make better decisions. Protect the most vital thing that is giving you life, Dirt! Grow your own Garden, stop putting toxic waste in ya beautiful self mon! If a family in Brooklyn can grow vegetables on their roof top, I'm pretty sure we can do this in any space. Take time for yourself and your family. Save money for important meaningful things and care for your Earth.  Listen folks, Mother Nature is going to fight back and she will win. Let's step off our high horse and become humble to her. Magic is the Bloodstream to the Universe, Faith is the Key, Desire is the Intention and Love is the Need! We all desperately need human connection, but more importantly, I know we need a deeper connection to the Earth beneath us. I dream about coming home to New York and stepping on my family's land. My daughter talks about our land as if it is a sanctuary. It is amazing when you are young, how you see things so clearly. She and my Granddad would explore, as he did this with all of us. He was a Science teacher and loved the Earth. I love that his passion for what is natural was embedded in me. Even though I lost sight of those things, I am on that path of redeeming my union with my maker, the elements around me. Evolving takes patience, right? The fact of the matter is, I am made up of dirt and that is exactly where I will end up!

I asked Google to define Dirt, this is what I got:  A substance, such as mud or dust, that soils someone or something, any substance that is filthy our foul. SERIOUSLY? Why are we giving the one main component of what we are made of such a terrible description? I think it is time for change peeps! If you are my friend and think I am crazy now, well guess what, you're going to get crazy with me!! I am going to have an annual Dirt Party and you are invited!!! I know I have a couple of friends saying, "SWEET, I'll bring the dip!" It is time for us to be kids again! Bringing awareness to yourself is all that matters. Making small changes will make a significant impact on the most important natural resource that we have, besides the Sun of course..Close your eyes and imagine right now what it would be like if the Sun took a vacation and the skin of the Earth, died.......
We should have Faith in ourselves to have the Love and Desire to be the Magic to the Universe..

It is in our hands.

Namaste~

aberration.

if you are going to start a Journey..shouldn't you have a map? Life, a simple word considering its importance,  has a perpetual tendency to get wickedly off Balance if you are not careful. so much to do, so much to do..having the Heart of a lion and the luck of a squirrel is a peevish conundrum. sounds like a children's book, but in respect to my Life, it would not be fitting. like a bumptious child i have much to learn and much to tame. this map i have drawn out for our Journey has been logged mentally. filed in a place that is collecting dust. i have placed it there subconsciously i believe, because i have lost the interest of my co-pilot, my Fred Astaire, mia Socio, my Daughter. her aberration is okay, but mine is not. she is growing and willful. clearly demanding to make her own mistakes. i am no longer the lead character in this play. Acceptance is the hardest Lesson for a Mother. you must understand that you cannot mold your child. i must learn to delay the ruminating "all knowing thoughts," and give her and myself a break. i feel like i am screaming and no one can hear me. is anyone listening? so many people around me are so careless with their lives, why? i see kids chugging soda, energy drinks, eating terrible things and they are seemingly healthy? Taylor on the other hand is not so lucky. Parents just don't look at the facts. DO the research, our kids are in gross numbers getting sick everyday. disease is not something God has handed these children. our Environment and lack of duty to our kids to be healthy is the cause. their luck unfortunately will run out and who is to blame? i don't mean to be preachy, i just care. sometimes i feel that my wishes are rarely granted, my worries are sitting here with me, and my compassion for her to achieve optimal health, serenity and enlightenment will be my dying wish. Buddha found enlightenment under the Bo tree. 
this did not come to him easily. thankfully, Wisdom comes only in Time. Mia Socio will find her Tree of Wisdom! i Pray to the Moon and Stars that she will rejoin me on this path to a Healthy Life soon. it is extremely hard to be forward thinking always, make all the right choices and expect so much of yourself. especially when everyone around you is not like you. being scoffed at or picked on because you are not making bad decisions with your friends is hard for a teenager. it is hard on me! people actually get annoyed with my Life choices. why? i admittedly am a hypocrite because i am most likely annoyed with their choices, but only because i want the best for them. there is a distinct difference.

we have struggled together on so many issues, our lives have been messy for a long time, too long. every time i clean it up, a hurricane comes through and sets me back.. this is something i may never understand. honestly, i have become an expert on making everything appear terrific, because that is what i want to believe. Life is terrific, even when it is failing you, but it hurts..a lot. it can be relentless and unforgiving, but excitably worth it! if you are a Mother and are listening, please be good to yourself and to your Children. Give them good Health and less substance. Spend more Time with them and less time in the Smith and Jones race to success. i look at the plate i provide Taylor with and wonder how i can add more Life to her through that plate. what am i doing for her? if i had been slapped in the face with this knowledge years ago, her Life would have been miraculously different, but again Wisdom comes in time.. i was not taught really anything about Nutrition or how my Body functioned. Why didn't i care enough about myself, to at least look up and understand the one thing getting me through each day...my Body? i certainly knew everything i needed to know on how to work my electronics, maintenance my car, apply all matter toward vanity...it's just silly really.

i don't know, i guess this blog is one more avenue to ground myself. i truly hope that our Life experience helps others. having Hope for reason is a Blessing to my conscience. i have gone circles in my mind trying to make sense of everything and i truly believe Capple House will be a tremendous way to help make all the wrong, right...my aberration has ceased, my map is out and i have blown the dust off! my Sentiment to you is Genuine and more than ever, i am thankful to you for reading...

Namaste~
