I have never been obsessed with having lots of money. In fact I have never been driven by it in anything that I have done. (No judgement on those that are.) My life, which includes my work, has always been based around the fact of living my life how I want and working in a career that inspires me and answers my passion for creativity.

My driving force has never been money. Yes, it was always wonderful making money doing what I loved to do, but it was never my reason for doing it. What really drove me was creative freedom.  The ability to be creative in my own terms…seeing my creations come to life exactly how I designed them to be. And because I have been doing this for over 24 years pretty consistently, I believe that I have taken my position for granted. I never felt as lucky and blessed as I truly have been.

Whenever I would meet someone and they asked what I did, my answer always left them saying the same thing to me, ‘Oh you are so lucky to be able to be in such a creative field doing what you love to do.’  But it was my life and I must admit that when something comes pretty easy, when talent comes naturally, one may not feel it is as special as others might think it is. Designing was and still is in my nature. It is what makes me tick, what inspires me, what brings me pure joy…what I have been blessed to have an abundance of. 

Money on the other hand felt special because it never came easy. Money was the ever-elusive thing that as much as it never drove me, it was always present in my mind…jabbing at me. I never could attain enough of it that lead me to feeling totally successful in my life. 

I have discovered recently that I may not have been a huge success in making lots of money but that in all of my years of hard work I was a huge success in doing what I loved to do. I am finally realizing after all of these years how blessed I really have been.  I couldn’t really see past the lack of success in the financial area. Society bases success on how much money one makes and unfortunately I allowed society to define success for me to a certain degree. 

I felt in my life that I had it all, and really an abundance of ‘it’…except in one little area…financial freedom. In reality there was always enough. And even in these hard times now, I realize just how blessed I have been and how blessed I really am. 

Last night I was zoning out on ‘Deal or no Deal’ – a reality game on TV where one can win a million dollars. I used to love this show but last night I felt very differently. These people on the show were so obsessed with the money and the happiness that they thought it would bring that it made me ill to watch.  They had a chance of walking home with over 600k and they chose to go for the mil, even when a family member said, ‘Take it – don’t be greedy.’ But no one paid attention to dear ‘ol mom’s advice. They were chomping at the bit for more and their greed got the best of them. They walked away with one dollar.

I walked away from the television feeling like this family represented our country. And all I could think was, “I’m done. I am done with wondering when my ‘time will come’…when all of my hard work will ‘pay off’. I am done with the constant tickling of the lack in my life.  The obsessive thoughts over money…that if I just do this right, this will come.’ My life is so rich in so many areas.  Yes, it would be delightful if it was in my pocketbook too, but this focus on the lack of it, surprise…only brings more and more importantly blinds me to seeing the abundance that I do have in so many more areas of my life.

Readers: I usually do not get so personal on my blog by writing about my finances, but I felt that maybe some of you in the midst of this economy might also be focused on your lack instead of seeing the abundance in your life.

I need to post this so I will address the rest of you commentators later. Thanks.

Hi Madaline: Barring any parameters that I previously gave you, do whatever it takes to prevent the republicans from stealing the election. I expect your answer immediately. You have your orders. 21MRB

Peace out.

I just couldn’t resist keeping it light today!  Did you not know that these two made an appearance the other night on the ‘Dancing With The Stars’ show? C’mon where have ya been?! And for you men out there…I think if you enlarge this photo, Palin might even be showing a bit of nip – exciting huh? Gotta love modern technology! Hey ‘zoom zoom’ guy – you out there? :)

But seriously, I have to get serious for a moment because I haven’t spoken about Palin for quite some time now, and again I could not resist.  This woman is running for VP and she still doesn’t even know what the VP does…or is she just trying to re-write the constitution giving herself more power in the White House?  As we all know, this woman is power hungry.

Four times she got it wrong! Is no one correcting her, schooling her, rib jabbing her? Frankly, I’m delighted that she is digging a deeper hole – It’s hopefully gonna wake up those that still can’t see past her ‘wink wink’, ‘awe shucks’, and that winning ‘beauty pageant smile’.  Uh huh. For some reason I can’t see past that ‘deer caught in the headlight’ look.

 - Just in case you didn’t see this video on the Olbermann show, it is worth a peek:

My suggestion: Maybe Palin ought to start her new career in reality because she is definitely living a fantasy. Her 15 minutes are almost over – two more weeks peeps.

Oh…we were phone banking again last night for Obama and Prop 2. There is still time to get involved.  Get a group of your own peeps and make a night of it. We went with our two friends Elliot & Tracey, and I have to say doing it with friends is so much fun. 

***********

Readers:  What is on your agenda this week? How is life? And those of you overseas…I know the state of our economy, and the up and downs of our stock market are having an affect.  I hope that you’re all hanging in there too. Comments? Thoughts? Blog me.

Peace out.

Okay, so McCain’s best line was, ‘If you wanted to run against President bush…blah blah blah.’ Like everyone else, I’ll give him points for that one too but that’s it. That was his only highlight for the evening. Look, Obama wouldn’t keep bringing it up if it wasn’t true – The guy voted 90% with Bush…Don’t tell me it won’t be McSame Same if he’s elected.

All I felt from him was anger and stubbornness, which only evoked my own anger, especially when he called women’s health ‘extreme’. It is obvious that McCain doesn’t seem to understand that women’s health matters. It’s obvious that he doesn’t trust women to decide what is in the best interest of their own health.  If I were his wife I would slap him in the face. I’m embarrassed for her. 

Okay, so he’s against abortion; a pro lifer – fine. But don’t push your morals and your decisions on me. Don’t start talking like you have any idea what a woman goes through when she becomes pregnant. I was ready to strangle him when he so casually mentioned that ‘we’ll help with the adoption process if you don’t want the child’ or something to that affect. (Not his exact words but you get the picture.) Well what if I just don’t want to be pregnant period? Sorry that I don’t want to carry a child for nine months, just so that you can help me give it away. Sorry, I have a life and maybe I just don’t want to give it up for nine months watching my stomach grow and going through all kinds of emotions that you can never relate to. How easy it is for you to basically say, ‘carry the child and we’ll help with the adoption process’, when you have absolutely no idea what a woman goes through emotionally as well as physically. You make it sound so easy.

Okay, McCain, you carry a baby for nine months that you don’t want. You wake up to morning sickness and tender breasts. You watch parts of your body get fatter than they have ever been.  You feel all of your organs pushing up against each other making room for a growing life. You handle all of the mood swings and changes to your body not knowing if you’ll ever lose the added weight. Oh…and don’t forget, you now have man boobs! And an added bonus; they’re filled with milk! You’re craving strange foods and for some reason you just don’t feel as sexy as you used to.   

Then at around nine months, you piss in your pants – oops my water broke!  It’s delivery time. Legs in the air, you begin to push that baby out of your ass (I’m using this as an example only…you’ll see why shortly) stretching you in ways you didn’t think you could stretch, feeling so much pain that you want to kill, shouting expletives to whoever put you in this position. (And yes women who have chosen to be pregnant by their significant other have felt this way too, so you can imagine the feelings of one who does not choose to be.) Then after hours of agonizing labor, you pop that baby out; have it swept from your arms to never have another thought of it again. Yeah …right.  Oh but wait….your asshole has been stretched so much that guess what? You’re shitting in your pants; you have lost control of your bowl movements. Oh…but don’t worry…a little stitch or two will tighten it up in no time and you’ll be back to ‘normal’.

Normal? Forget the fact that you never wanted this little bundle of joy, but that you can’t seem to forget about him or her. Forget that you never wanted this baby but that you bonded with it anyways while it grew inside of you. Forget that as much as you know you made the right decision for you, it still weighs on you heavily and you wonder…

Or….roll back nine months and you get to have that abortion and be done with it. Now, I know that I am making abortion sound simple when it really isn’t. I have had one and I can tell you it was an easy decision for me, although I would never want to have to go through it again. But I am sure for many others, it is difficult.  For me carrying a baby that I had no desire to have would be much harder on me, just like for the pro lifers, it would be more difficult to abort than to go through with the pregnancy.

The point is ‘choice’ and having the right to make the best ‘choice’ for yourself. When a woman is ready to have a baby, she is aware and accepts the physical changes and emotional challenges that she will encounter. She has made this ‘choice’.  But when a woman does not want a baby, and her ‘choice’ is taken away, she may have physical and emotional baggage, for lack of a better word, that she did not choose to carry. The right to choose is the way to go. 

McCain will never get this. Why? Not just because it could never happen to him. But because he has blatantly shown that he has no respect for women, women issues, and women’s health.  He just doesn’t care. Period. 

Readers:  I know this is a sensitive subject. Talk to me ~ blog me. 

~~~~~~~~~

Hey Beingajoe:  I agree with you. I would’ve said a lot more about Palin than Obama did in the debate but then again, I’m not running for president. And I did check out those websites a bit – thanks for forwarding. 

Doug: As I have said before so many times to you…Unless people do their homework, they will believe the lies as truth.  

Hi Kali: Thank you. Sometimes I have a hard time finding the words too, but then I am practicing every day. :)

Hello Ling: Wow, you are trying to understand how we pick our leader and learning English too. My gut is that you may just know more than the average American. 

Beverly:  Obviously money doesn’t buy everything. I hear it is just as easy to love a rich man as it is to love a poor man but I think that is just a line. Money definitely makes life easier, no doubt, but it is the emptiness and lack of connection that I could not live with regardless of whether there is money or not. When times are hard, and money is absent, it is the love and connection that will see you through the hard times. And on the other hand, I have friends who are very wealthy, and very lonely…and very stuck. I hope that you find your true love. 

England: I have always wished that we could let go of this party system and get modern.  It is an antiquated system and just doesn’t work in my mind. I have always thought that we should vote on the issues and elect a president that will support those issues. 

Ireland: I think you answered your own question.  

Helena:  I think I’ve already said enough on this subject. :)

Hello Zen Lill:  Oh…No offense taken, just wanted to add my two and continue the convo. How’s the adrenalin today? Not only do we need to think about bigoted deep pockets, but this new news from Anonz is most disturbing…..

Anonz: Is there nothing you can do to stop this? You obviously have influence. Is there anything that I can do on my blog…or the readers? If people, meaning me and my readers, know about it beforehand, could we not flood the media with our knowledge? Surely, if word got out there who was behind this atrocity, maybe we could prevent it? I know it sounds lofty but it is very difficult hearing this come from you just to sit around waiting till d-day. And if you were to tell us the exact time, date and whereabouts on my blog, how would the government react knowing you have given this information? They are watching my blog.

What position would that put me in knowing that I have this information? Would I be willing to stand up for my country if I knew my actions could save lives and prevent McCain from living in the White House? Yes.

Readers: If Anonz provides us with the exact time, date, and whereabouts of this terrorist act, would you stand up and doing something?  This is really something I think we need to think about. I would love to hear from you on this – flood the lines ~ blog me.

OH ZL:  I am so sorry…I have been so wrapped up in my own stuff and this darn election that I can not wait to end! I just had to come back and add….Happy Birthday!!

Gratefully your blog host,

Good Morning Readers: 

PBS has an online poll posted, asking if Sarah Palin is qualified to be VP. It is amazing to me that people out there actually still think that she is qualified. Or is her support all just in the name of Party? Anyway, apparently the right wing knew about this in advance and are flooding the voting with YES votes. Now how did that happen?

The poll will be reported on PBS and picked up by mainstream media. And as always, strong marketing does what it is suppose to do….convince one way or another. Polls supporting a candidate can have the same influence over undecided voters who will vote for the popular candidate instead of using their brain to make a decision.  And in this case it can influence undecided voters in swing states. No Problem as long as they’re swinging over to Obama’s side. 

Want to be part of this poll and have an influence over the undecideds?

Please do two things — it takes 20 seconds.

1) Click on the link and vote:

http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html

2) Then send this to every single Obama-Biden voter you know, and urge them to vote and pass it on.

I voted yesterday and the tally was even: 49% on both sides. Unbelievable. The last thing we need is PBS saying their viewers think Sarah Palin is qualified.  How stupid will American’s look then?

So, that’s handled. What else?

The last Presidential debate is tonight.  McCain is totally in denial. A recent quote: “I have’em exactly where I want’em.” Ugh…you do huh? Your assessment of your position in this race is about as realistic as your appraisal, aka: ‘lacking a concrete plan’ on what to do in our declining economy, not to mention your appraisals of the wars in the Middle East. Who are you fooling?

And my second favorite quote: “I want to emphasize again, I respect Senator Obama. We will conduct a respectful race, and we will make sure that everybody else does, too.”  Oh so what happened when people were shouting, ‘Kill him’ and holding up signs, ‘Obama Bin Lyin’?  Need glasses?…Is your hearing aid not doing the job…or is it just you? C’mon now, you’re the one ‘lyin’. Don’t you think it’s time to be a man of your word?

And lastly: “After I whip his you-know-what in this debate, we’re going to be going out 24/7.” Oh McCain, your ass whipping days are over if they ever were. This is McCain’s last chance and I say it’s gonna be a ‘three strikes and you’re outta here’ kind of evening. Yeah, McCain will bring out the daggers, but in the end, the only scathing will be self-inflicted; Obama will walk away without a scratch and a win to his name. 

Do you agree? Blog me. 

Oh ZL: I forgot…in regards to your comment…No I don’t need attention but being appreciated in any form whether it be physical, emotional, or intellectual, is always welcomed. One person’s ‘ick’ factor is obviously another person’s ‘turn on’ – hey watever flips your skirt or in regards to the ‘hog man’ – ‘whatever rubs your leathered crotch’. Let’s not forget the fact that ‘form’, not only gives pleasure but receives it too… If I am going to be in ‘form’ I want to experience pleasure on all levels. Until I can have an emotional or intellectual orgasm sans drugs (Or hell even with them!),  I’ll settle for the physical any time of day. :)

It never ceases to amaze me that people over seas are more informed and more intelligent about the state of our economy, and the presidential candidates, than some of the people in our own country.

Here is an example:

I received an email from my friend Pratiwi on the Island of Java, Indonesia. This email below was in response to an email that I sent to her asking her how she was doing.  I never mentioned to her that I was voting for Obama, and with her internet issues, (her internet is down most of the time in her area.) she has informed me that she can rarely read my blog. It has been about 2 months since we have corresponded. In her words:

“Oh, yes i (sic) followed the world news, and your election over there. Few days ago i (sic) even followed the presidential debate and I do hope that Obama gets in. Seems like he’s the one who would be able to bring the changes in America. Yes, the bailout and Wall street brought crazy things to our market here as well. Dollar reached 10,000 rupiaH/USD and can be worse. Prices of basic needs went skyhigh and many paople (sic) cannot afford to eaT (sic) 3 meals a day. So, we are still gratefull (sic) that no matter how bad our financial situation is, we are still together and we eat proper food (even though sometimes humble).”

And then one of my sources sent me this video that is just downright scary.  These people live in America, and seem so out of touch compared to my friend Pratiwi who lives in a very small town on the Island, rarely has internet, and yet she manages to stay informed about our country, and make an unbiased, intelligent comment.   

So back to the video…It is filmed in Ohio. Do they not know how to filter that which is truth and that which is propaganda? We have unlimited resources.  What is their excuse? Is it just laziness? I really don’t think so. I believe that these people just want to believe what they want to believe regardless of the facts. I believe that these people are racist and in no way do they want a black man to be president.

The answers that are given to the reporter have no substance….nothing to back what’s coming out of their racist mouths. They will do and say anything to support their racism.  Either that or they are just palin stupid….oops I mean plain stupid.  Or maybe they are just watching too much of Fox news. They are brainwashed and just too dumb and too lazy to seek the real truth. You be the judge.  

Hi Zen Lill:  How are you?  Glad that someone besides me got a laugh!  Yep..we’ll just have to wait and see how things go. Thanks for the offer – much appreciated. :)

I am out of here peeps. Enjoy your Sunday…

Gratefully your blog host,

michelle
