Outrageous Women of Consequence In my young adulthood, I came to the conclusion that what I really wanted to be when I grew up was a character. One of those people who do outrageous acts of nonsensical frivolity. The kind of person that ordinary people stand by and look at in awe and wonderment, secretly wishing they could be so bold. I think I may be showing signs of becoming a true character - what I call "an Outrageous Woman of Consequence". Here's a few symptoms:
In my life, there have been a few women whom I've had the divine pleasure of knowing and who are truly Outrageous Women of Consequence. They live normal lives, but in a rather un-normal manner. One of my favorites is Betty Lou. Betty Lou was the cook at the Chimacum Cafe for years. I got to know her when I began frequenting the place for lunch and sometimes breakfast and dinner (although I love eating, I hate cooking). I didn't go there for great food. Betty wasn't the best of cooks. I went there to enjoy Betty. Her life hadn't been easy. She had been married to an alcoholic, bore him six kids, and did a dang fine job of raising all of them... mostly by herself. When I met her, all her kids had been raised and were on their own. She had left her husband and was on her own and lovin' it. Although the customers could see her cooking at the grill from any spot in the cafe, she was noted for putting on some piece of weird clothing - a hot pink feathered boa or a HUGE foam cowboy hat, for instance - and meandering through the tables chatting with the customers... often to the detriment of whatever she was cooking at the time. There was always a lineup of people waiting to get into the Cafe when Betty worked. Sometimes she'd stomp out into the middle of the cafe, look around and yell, "Don't you people have homes to go to?" Then she'd stomp back to her grill. This was usually on the days when she wore her T-shirt that said "Send more tourists. The last ones were delicious." The tourists would be shocked. The regulars would laugh and slap their knees. One day as I was sitting at the counter quietly eating whatever glop she'd cooked that day for lunch, she stuck her elbows on the counter in front of me and propped her head on her hands. Thankfully, she'd wiped most of the cooking grease off her hands when she came around the end of the prep station. Looking at me wistfully, she breathed out a heavy sigh. "You know what this world needs?" Another deep sigh. I was almost afraid to ask, but my curiosity overcame my caution. "What, Betty Lou?" "A pink chiffon prom formal," she said smacking the countertop for emphasis with the flat of her hand. Then, before I could wrap my brain around this newest pearl of wisdom from her and formulate a reply, she swiveled away and flounced, as only someone with a sausage-shaped body could, back to her grill to produce yet another almost inedible meal for some unsuspecting tourist. When I got home from work, the first thing I did was rummage through my closet to find last year's Halloween costume... a chiffon prom formal. It wasn't pink. It was lipstick red. The skirt hit me above the knees, so I figured it would be about floor length on Betty. It had a properly flouncy skirt with many layers of chiffon and two long hunks of red chiffon hanging from the center of the bodice to the hem. I figured it would do the job. At lunchtime the next day I presented it to Betty Lou at the cafe. Before I could blink, she grabbed the dress, pulled it on over her greasy, food-stained apron, and performed Loretta Young twirls throughout the entire cafe. That's what brought so many people to the cafe. That's what kept a perpetual line of people out the door and around the corner of the building. They were all waiting to have the Betty Lou experience, truly an Outrageous Woman of Consequence. Love, ps. Being an Outrageous Woman of Consequence has many benefits. One is that you get to freely speak your mind without dire repercussions. Another is that you bring tremendous fun and joy to others while having some yourself. And couldn't we all use more fun and joy in our lives? NEW!! The Interdimensional 12 Strand DNA Activation on CD!! Now you have a choice in how you'll experience your Interdimensional 12 Strand DNA Activation!
OR you can use the interactive CD which I've just created. OR you can have both the private phone session and then later, enjoy your activation again whenever you wish with the CD.
There are benefits to having each of the methods of activation:
With both methods, you're assured of having a wonderful experience and successful activation as you participate in the activation of your 12 DNA strands, the 12 layers of interdimensional energy that surround each DNA strand, and your Akashic Record which resides within each DNA strand. The Interdimensional 12 Strand DNA Activation CD includes pre-instructions, the guided visualization for the activation of your 12 DNA strands and the activation of your 12 interdimensional layers of energy, the sounds of the Sacred Solfeggio tones, and post-activation instructions and information.
Books have always been an important part of my life. One of my most favorite jobs was working at a bookstore. I'd gaze around the store in amazement at all of the wondrous knowledge that was available to me in all the thousands of books that were gathered together in this one place. It was like having all of the wisest people in all the world in all of history right in front of me, ready to share the best and juiciest parts of their wisdom with me. Picking up a book and reading it was like walking up to them and saying, "tell me the best of all that you know". And so they did... each time I would open their books and read their words. Because I love books soooooo much, I want to share with you those that especially excite me.
I was introduced to Sark during my job at the bookstore. Who could resist a book that has a cover like this one?!? Opening the book and delving into the content was even more fun than enjoying the bright, happy cover design. Sark offers such wisdom as:
Sark, AKA Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy, is a most remarkable and delightful woman who overcame some gigantic challenges in her life. I won't spoil it by telling you about them. I'll let her tell you in her books. Lucky for us, she has shared her magical self with us in her books and artwork. Here are some of my favorites in my Sark collection:
But wait! There's more! You can find all of Sark's books on Amazon.com. Essential Oil of the Month The Essential Oils Desk Reference, my main source of info about Young Living Essential Oils, says this about Joy:
Here's what I say about it: This oil smells sooooo good and makes you feel soooo great you'll want to put it all over yourself every day!! However, it's very potent and one drop goes a long way and lasts a long time, so be a bit prudent with your use of it. The bottle of oil lasts a long time - even though you'll want to use it everywhere. This oil is really yummy! It only takes a few seconds after I apply a drop of it to the base of my throat or over my heart before I'm feeling happier and have a cheerier outlook. (Read on to learn about how the aroma of the oils affects your emotions.) Suggestions of how to use it:
Oils included in this blend:
To obtain the fullest aromatic benefits of this oil, after applying it rub the palms of your hands together briskly to warm the oil on them. Then cup them and place them over your nose. Take three deep breaths This brings the minute oil particles deep into your nasal passages, where their energy imprint is picked up by the Olfactory nerve and taken to the Amygdala gland - the control center of all your emotions and the release of all hormones. Young Living essential oils are steam distilled from the leaves and stems of 100% organic plants. Unlike other brands of essential oils, there are no chemicals used in the processing of the plants. Nor are there chemicals or other ingredients added to dilute or damage the natural healing properties of the oils. Order
