The Mundane Adventures Part 2

6/29/2016

So just days ago I wrote about how I was anticipating an outing to the library. If you read "The Mundane Adventure" you will have a better understanding of why the errand of going to the library was such a big deal for me the other day.

So before I update y'all let me first give a shout out to all the people who messaged me with loving good vibrations and whatever healing modality and healing energy technology they wanted to send my way on Facebook or at onceuponaneden@gmail.com. I thankfully received it and put it to very good use. Still am. Much love to you and all this love is as vitally important to me as the air we breathe. So endless gratitude to each and every one.

Well it was a huge outing for me that other day. My immune system was put through some rigors.
First we went to the market so I could get some items for a craft/snack. My friend and their grandchild come over from time to time and I share with them some fun self help info in the way of crafts and cooking. This time is getting me prepared for some classes I am hoping to present either via Skype or in person come the Fall. Anyway, this cooking project was all about homemade popsicles. Since I can't have much of what is ready made because of ingredients that will set off my immune system, I make my own (this is rule of thumb for about any foods or food stuffs). With juices and fruits in hand it was time to get the next items on the list. Balloons!!!

At the store for the balloons something happened that disturbed me. Do you think I could be quiet and mind my own business? No. not loud mouth me.

I took this photo in 2012, as I was roaming around and about Los Angeles. Seems like ages ago that the smog and chemicals were not an issue for me and I could go traipsing about to check tucked away businesses that stay out of the tourist's path that only the locals know about or to find some of my favorite people under bushes, bridges and other hide away places. Well now. That was a whole other life ago. Just four years in the past.

Now Tomorrow, I have another kind of adventure to go on...to go to the library to use it as my office (air conditioning!!!), and it is a test to see whether I can be in an environment with chemicals even limited amount. Where there are people, there are chemicals. The hope is that all this detoxing and being chemical free as possible in addition to taking my medicines has lowered my histamine levels to a level that I can tolerate being around people again without having to go to the ER or worse.

This past January after preaching in a nursing home, I ended up in the ER because the perfumes were too much for my system. Bummer to the nth degree. I miss my elders, especially the ones who were trusting Once Upon an Eden with their stories of child abuse, and being forced into participating in horrific experiments during the 1940's -1950's. In researching to learn more, so the next time they spoke with me, I could share with them coping tools, I learned such a dark side of American history that I did not know about. That also ended up leading to some more of my own healing and answers to questions that I had about myself and my family history. Meeting interesting people from all walks of life, being entrusted with their life stories, helping them helps me -all perks of this work.

I like to walk and talk. When I am stressed, have something heavy to process, or want to get deep in prayer or for certain forms of meditation walking seems to be a great help. When I was a director of a shelter, or in other positions where I had major decisions to make or some form of mentoring to do, walking or some kind of outdoor activity was worked in if I could. Many difficult conversations were had over a slow somewhat long walk. Many difficult conversations that sometimes turned into fun memories and bonding adventures.

I took this photo a few years ago (on a disposable camera that I found laying around unused), back in my hometown in 2009. It is difficult for me to return to that town. So over the years, I did my damnedest to stay away. Yet, this time I was here on doctors' orders to "make peace and get my house in order because death is imminent". I had died and had been dead for several hours months before due to an allergic reaction to Aspirin that I had taken for a tooth ache. After a long recovery and learning how to walk again here I was back in my hometown feeling trapped in a nightmare. Not only did I die in 2008, but often over a duration of several years before and twice in early 2009 and that is not even counting the comas. Yeah, I had a lot to process and think about. In addition I was not happy at having to do it in a place that reminded me of and held my secrets of my Silent Hill" kind of a past.
