Going for the Joy 2/6/12 February 7, 2012

Fire Fairy - my close up joyful face

Life has been pretty intense around here, and I feel like I’m handling it fairly well.  I’ve been pretty even with a smattering of happiness and gratitude, but where the heck is the JOY??? The bubbling laughter, the dancing, the silly jokes.  So for today I am going out and grabbing it.  It all started yesterday.  I found myself in the street with all three of my kids.  We were pretend fighting with impressive back kicks, punches and quick stop runs – even the 15 month old was involved.  The boys were shocked when they realized I was getting in on the action.  My neighbors might think I’m crazy, but it was FUN.  I enjoyed it a lot, in fact I might even call it a joyful experience.

Joy was my word for the year.  Do you remember your word?  How’s it going?  Consider this post to be a gentle reminder.

I promise to do three things today to bring about bubbling joy.  I know one will be dancing to a Minecraft song, but I haven’t decided what the others will be.

Oh yeah, what else will bring me joy?  Being gentle with myself about my 52 weeks of kindness.  I’ve been slacking, and haven’t done any official acts in two weeks.  ugh.  I really want to make this work, but also want it to be fun and gentle with myself.  Come stop by at the 52 weeks of kindness page and cheer on the Peachy Sneaks, and maybe even share your own sneaky kindness.

Tea (ok, do I need to mention this every time?  clearly I do. : )

dancing with my little girl at music class

(oh man, I want to add more but have nothin’ yet.  Will add more later.)

Have a beautiful, magical, wonderful, joyful day.

The Rainbow Faery

Hello everyone! It’s Tuesday, and here we are! Its been interesting here on MEM, lol. Anyone have any funny stories to share? Stories are such magical things aren’t they… =) Especially ones that make you laugh. When is the last time you laughed, like REALLY laughed??? If its been awhile…well, no need to wait for something funny. You can fake it, and just keep going until suddenly you feel so ridiculous that you just might really be laughing (with) yourself. 

MY EVERYDAY MAGIC

*My 4 year old, who is REALLY good at making me laugh

*My 26 year old (lol) who also makes me laugh

*the LUNA FESTIVAL is THIS Sunday. I am pretty much doing cartwheels in excitement, while being simultaneously calm and zen about it, lol.

*Groceries. A full (and CLEAN) fridge. =)

*Our dog(s) who always make me smile…

*OH! A friend (our very own Flirty Fairy) shared this, and I’d LOVE to share it with you all! It is the Worlds Biggest Summit, an online summit of over 100 awesome teachers on health, wealth, creativity, spirituality, and more. And the best part? It is TOTALLY FREE. Here’s the link, and don’t forget to watch the video clip. The woman putting this together has SUCH a playful energy, and it is so inspiring to see her in this video, with her baby kind of leading the clip, LOL: http://www.worldsbiggestsummit.com/

*Since I’m in the mood for sharing some laughs, I figured I’d share my “Granola Shower” story: So it was a looong day of deep cleaning and decluttering, following my 4 & 6 year old around cleaning up their messes mostly dealing with food, feeding everyone, tearing apart this room and that, rowdiness, fighting, playing, etc… At the end of the day I was SPENT. I was sooooo looking forward to a long warm shower. As I am getting in and feeling better already before I’d even turned the water on, my 6 year old declares he’s going to shower too. *noooooo* I think…but I say “fine”. Mid-shower he gets into some kind of whining about the soap or something and won’t let up. *my sacred shower is slipping away* I’m thinking. But I troop through it and focus on feeling good. I’m on top of the world! I get out, feeling SOO refreshed, and start toweling myself off. I’m looking down at my feet and I see…bits of granola? Hmm, I vacuumed…maybe just missed some pieces. I keep drying myself off, and am rubbing my face and hair when I smell…granola. Wtf? I pull the towel away from me to look at it…only to discover that I’d been “drying” myself off with a certain someone’s rejectomundo-granola-spit. First I scream in terror. Then I drop to the floor and sob…full on dramatic, tragic sobs and tantrum. Ridiculous? Yes. Warranted? YES. LMAO. Hope you enjoyed this. One woman’s tragedy is another’s comedy!

*Magic. It’s just such a magical thing. LOL. 

Toodleloo everyone, and may your day be filled with OODLES of magic. And hopefully not the hilariously tragic kind. Love you all!  

 

“Laughter” MAGIC! 9/23/2010 September 23, 2010

“Laughter” Magic!

They say that laughter is the best medicine ~ and I could use some really good medicine right about now! As I’m awaiting for Divine Health to fully anchor itself into my physical reality (I know it’s bound to someday soon!), I’m healing my ills by being gentle with myself, not trying to “fix” anything, and laughing as much as I can. So, today I’m asking for a favor: name two of your favorite funny movies!

Maybe this will motivate me to actually jump on the Netflix bandwagon ~ especially if it means I can  heal myself as I laugh my a** off! Feel free to insert any other funny thing here, whether it’s a joke or a youtube video. Bring it on and make me laugh!

My Favorite Funny Movies:

* The Birdcage

* Office Space

* Away We Go (this is a fairly new one that if you’re a parent, you’ll definitely appreciate! Love it!)

My Everyday Magic

* A good cry yesterday when it became apparent my life-long chronic cough was making another appearance.  (I also screamed and pounded on a door and that felt reeeeaaaal goooooood!)

* My higher self talking to me loud and clear telling me there is nothing I need to “learn, fix, solve, or figure out” with my current ailments. I just have to “walk through them.” There is IMMENSE freedom in that for me.

* My beloved taking such good care of me and making me stroganoff yesterday because he knows my body needs meat.

* Three hours to myself yesterday to write in my journal and rest in bed.

* The DAY OF LOVE in yesterday’s “I Admire You” Magic ~ I LOVE this community!!!!

What’s making your MAGIC today? And what’s making you LAUGH? Post in comments below and remember I love you!

My Everyday Laughter Magic!

Hahahahahahahaa!

I admit, at the moment, I’m feeling just a tiny bit of delirium and its awesome! A full belly laugh is nature’s high!

*Some funny stuff: My 5 year old niece meets a girl who is a little older than she…the girl offers her a piece of candy but warns very slowly and sternly, “You can only have one, because you might get cavities”…my niece says “Thats okay, I already have cavities, so you can give me as much as you want!” LOL Persuasion at its finest.

*Reposting the FREE HUGS video that Kate shared yesterday, because I was laughing with tears streaming down my face!!!

*Check out what these guys did while their parents were out of town! Fun Homemade Waterslide Extravaganza (warning: a few curse words, and good music, LOL)

*This little girl should do the next Star Wars trailer… lol

More Magic…

*All the awesome magic this weekend!! Sacredness, winning money, musical wonderfulness & cd giveaways, funny typos in the comments, and lots of long lists of magic!!!

*Watched the Botany of Desire…great video put out by PBS, with Michael Pollen in it

*A very crazy, synchronistic day at the store…everything just lines up so perfectly!!!!

*Radical TRUST. Breathe IN………….. AHhhhhhhhhhhhh……..breathe out…….ahhhhhh

*For me, laughter magic means BREATHING magic… laughter, joy, peace, relaxation, sensuality, it all stems from the BREATH

*While the island I love is at a turning point in its history, I am focusing on the good…radically TRUSTING that all is well and exactly as it is meant to be… and part of that is honoring my call to activism…to stand up for Guam. 

*Red wine…organic dark chocolate…salad from my garden… indulgence. =)

*Laughing with my little boys… so fun… so precious… so FUN!!! =)

*Laughter is TRUE abundance…joy in endless quantities… regardless of you circumstances in any moment, you can choose JOY, with a breath of fresh air in, and a smile as you exhale… no matter WHAT… you can choose to smile anyway. 

What is making YOU smile today? What are you smiling about, regardless of what chaos may be ensuing in your life? Remember, you are LOVED dearly, and there is always something to smile about…we only have to open our hearts, relax a little bit, and let it in… Ahhhhhhh……..

*All of the lovely musical magic from yesterday!!

*My two year old telling me this morning “Sometimes I’m mad, sometimes I’m itchy” umm….LOL

More Laughter Magic!

Last week’s laughter magic was so fun, my belly’s achin’ for more!

*Okay Everyone, take a deeeep slow breath in…and as you breath out the last of the air in your lungs, let out a “Ho Ho Ha Ha Haaa!!!!!”

*HERE is a laughter meditation video, join in the circle and just laugh as hard as you can, or giggle, or just laugh at how ridiculous everyone looks and sounds!

*My all time favorite laughing baby video…you can’t not laugh through this!

*Ok, one more video…you MUST see this one!!! Contagious laughter in the metro

*I LOVE that laughter is contagious, and is understood in all languages amongst people all over the world.

*Once you get a good belly laugh going, its hard to stop. I dare you to try.

*Be the weirdo at work literally laughing out loud at your desk, for no apparant reason!

*When your child does something ridiculous, or even offensive, trying to push your buttons, break out into an uncontrollable-rolling-on-the-floor-and-can’t-get-up laugh, until you’re in tears…they won’t know what to do…

*Here’s a joke about kids and honesty: A young boy, about 4 years old came screaming out of the bathroom to tell his mom he’d dropped his toothbrush in the toilet. She fished it out and threw it in the garbage. The boy stood there thinking for a moment, then ran to her bathroom and came out with her toothbrush. He held it up and said with a charming little smile, “We better throw this one out too then, ’cause it fell in the toilet a few days ago.

More of My Everyday Magic

Magical kisses from Odin and a little Pixie friend!

Laughter Magic!!!

*Laugh ON PURPOSE. Don’t wait for something funny to come along. Force it to start with if you must. Soon you’ll be laughing at yourself trying to make yourself laugh!

*At the Laughter Yoga Int’l website, I read that “laughter strengthens the immune system by increasing the number of natural killer cells and increase in the antibodies.” And also… “it removes the mental factor immediately” and still… “increasing oxygen supply to the body cells, strengthening the immune system, increasing blood circulation and creating positive mental state.”

*Need some help laughing? Watch these: Laughter Yoga, Baby Laugh, Laughing Quadruplets, and Ladies Laughing Exercises

***********************

And more of My Everyday Magic:

*Laughing of course!

*My word of the year is BREATHE, and laughing is the number one way to facilitate a REAL deep breath for me!

*Getting some blogging done about my 2010 Treasure map, my son’s first time surfing, and more!

*A MAGICAL weekend of treasure mapping, painting, beach going, belly casting (not mine lol), pregnant goddess faery photoshooting, essay writing and more!!

*************************

That’s my magic today! Come share yours! And find a way to get some laughter in your day (on purpose!)…

Hahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
