Who Am I ?

Posted on Mar 11th, 2006 by ~ Renee : One for All ~ Renee
Well, I feel all sort of silly and excited talking about myself like this, but here goes.
I am excited.
I am a red head (more about that later)
I am a daughter, sister, friend, wife, mother, thinker, philosopher, talker, walker, friend of the sun, moon and stars, lover of green and the sparkle on flower petals, feeler of water like silk in Lone Lake.
I am a scaredy cat.
I have a low platelet count for which my doctor wants me to go to the hemotologist again (I had this several years ago and the hemotologist put me on prednisone - it almost killed me - or at least caused me lots of pain which I hate.)
I don't want my spleen removed.
I'm preoccupied with avoiding pain, although I am not afraid of death (as far as I know).
I read to handle the loss of mySelf and to learn how to get it back again.
Ken Wilber taught me all kinds of amazing things about my enlightenment experience, like everyone experiences what I experienced on a nightly basis - while sleeping!!  Who knew?!  Yeah, Blah,Blah.... Blahhh! 
I want to be with Ken Wilber but I don't want him to talk except when I say "go" and stop when I say "stop!"
I wonder if Ken would think I'm sexy?
I love my husband - very much -and would never cheat on him by sleeping with Ken Wilber -

LOL.  I love the “go” and “stop” part.  Perhaps he’d let you get a few words in edge-wise too?

I can see this is a very good place to socialize.  ~I’m blushing~. 

Here’s an interesting take on my scaredycatness and low platelet count:  Jeannette (my sister —who might join us Zaadzters—who did a Landmark forum last week—who wants to tell her forum leader about this site— which might open the possibility of Landmark advertising with us?) thinks they might be related on a subtle level, that I’m over protecting my body because my immune system gets so silly,crazy wild!!  I thought that sounded plausible —I’ve been meditating and using LOVE and healing toward my self and my platelets, telling my body that my platelets are friends. But now that she told me her take I’m going to do it more.

I’m a bit of scaredy cat too - in fact I almost had a panic attack on my way to meet Ken Wilber eariler this week!  No sleeping to be seen, but I did get a nice hug :)  Now that is something I need to blog about…

That is SO COOL that you’re a Zaadzster and your son is too!  I saw your comment on Matthew’s “You’re Hired!” post, and just wanted to let you know how happy that made me.  Mommies like you are true gems!  I look forward to getting to know YOU through Zaadz.

..much Love and more Light,
Beth

Hi Renee! So glad to have you with us crazies at Zaadz! You are a kick in the pants. So looking forward to more of your posts.

My prayers are with you for optimal health. You are already being made well. The joy is returning to your life and so is your perfect platelet count. Believe that. I do.

Lots of love!

Ryan, I would have a bit of a panic attack too if I were going to meet KW for the first time - that’s why I sent Matthew - heehee.

Beth Thank You for your support - I had to have a talk with Matthew to make sure I wasn’t invading his ‘space’!!  He assured me I wasn’t, but I’ll still try to keep it toned down – wouldn’t want to embarrass the new Zaadz employee ; -))

Brian, I love you, young man : - ))))))))))) thanks for giving Matthew this chance!!!

Shelly, thank you, thank you, thank you.  I whole heartedly claim all you said!!  Your warmth comes through in all of your communications and I’m just breathing in your sweet energy. ~ Thank You, my friend. Peace to you.

Flex, how well I understand that short sentence.  Thanks for the welcome!! : -)))

Jodi, thank you.  True friends help their friends grow and glow.  I’ll call you a true friend of mine – and here’s back at ya (((hugs)))

P.S.  this place makes me feel all warm and tickly and excited inside!!  I wish I could be in the same room with all of you and just bask for a while - I think ‘basking’ is a good thing – but I also feel worried - just being honest here — I have envisioned something like this for so long.  When I first started attending a prayer group at my Catholic church it was still a virgin group, all pure and honest and authentic.  But slowly it grew rigid and hard - forming all sorts of crazy beliefs - a little doctrinized church operating within the larger doctrinized church -  adopting all kinds of reactionary beliefs in rebellion against the larger ‘cell’.  I had to get out - but was then left without a group alive in the ‘Spirit’…that was very hard for me.  I guess my calling card should be: LOVING FREE

Hello, Renee!

I feel you can relax here at Zaadz, and trust that it will stay true to its intentions. I have this confidence based on the quality and calibre of people here, and their warmth, kindness, and candor. These are attributes of open-mindedness. I’ve also had a discussion list with hundreds of people on it for six years, and it’s just been the loveliest, most supportive group of people! So I know firsthand that online communities can give people love, support, inspiration and do so in ways that are nourishing and healthy.

You can tell by my photo that I’m not one of the super young ones here… but I’m young at heart. I feel very blessed to be able to work at home with my teenage daughters, doing spiritual work that helps people find their way in life.

Thanks Cynthia!!

My boys were my main line also –  now they’re all grown up and sailing…sailing… :) :)
time for me to get working… ( I remember when they were little I used to sneak into the bathroom to meditate— but those little antennae were always poised for even the shortest abandonment of their interests - hee hee -I gave up!!)  There’s a time for everything under the sun, hey?

Also Young at Heart

Thanks Kari -and for the reminder of mySelf.  This manifestation is where it's at though, hey?!  I have such a sense of wanting to get more in touch with the “little” one because emptiness is always there - just ALWAYS there, right?  It's little 'ole me and you I want to know and see and love - because compassion is so lovely, I guess - a fun trip.  I AM what I think/don't think I AM and also “that”.  I will always insist on that kind of impeccable humility because I am here and have not made any of it disappear.  You see, I made all of you and I also made me and I also hid that fact from myself so that I could discover “us” all over again!!!  Wheeeeeeeeeeee!!! (except when I'm in pain,then it's: Aarrrgghhhhh!!!!!)
Do you remember how you did the very same thing?  We were laughing!!!; -)))))))) – and crying!!! (((((((

Bravo and HAIL to Renee

I really do LOVE ALL you Americans - despite the daily frustration and disillusion with the state of the world and our chances of denting the blindness and suffering - because of your absolutely refreshing & genuine commitment to pragmatism.

You are ALL indeed a race apart  - but only so from the point of view that you have ALL experienced a world that could be so much better than the rest enjoy and deep down would like to “bring that to the rest of the world”.

I have happened here today - many moons later than Renee's original post - as a result of reading Renee's comment here. - to which I can only quote Helen's words namely - What the world needs now… is that the  WALLS  between our separate experiences and bodies of knowledge be removed. That what is known by one can be known by whoever needs to know, when they need to know it.

EVEN Bill Gates has stated the need to - do away with the politics of business by giving everybody the SAME message - but to do ABSOLUTE justice to Helen's statement it is humility which has to be established - across the board - in the context of the dissemination & use of the power of knowledge (science) - if we are to awaken to the potential universal interconnectedness of HOMO SAPIENS - which is LOVE.
