Keoni, kitties, and a flopping fish toy

 (Originally published 1 February 2021) 

I gave a shout out to Amy of BodyFit by Amy some months ago. Now I have to urge you to check out Keoni Tamayo's free YouTube videos. Most are walking workouts, though he has a few Strength Training ones. His shortest was 8 minutes, his longest 1 hour 25 minutes (10,000 steps). Do keep in mind he has non-verbal cuing.

Many of his videos have from 1 to 6 cats wandering or zooming through. The newest, posted yesterday is a short one, and one of the silliest yet. This is what I posted on my Spark teams:

OMG! I laughed so hard at the kitties and the flopping fish—which looks real—in the new 10 minute Keoni walking workout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vl-7G3RfOg

One comment on the YouTube joked: "I'm not sure how to tell you this, but while you were busy your fish jumped out of its tank and died on the floor."

My comment: "Another fun workout, but yeah, the cats—and the fish (I laughed to see her photo & name at the end, too!)—stole the show. I was concentrating on trying to tell Mochi and Manju apart (guessing them to be littermates), when I saw it was a new kitty, Luna, cutting up with Mochi and Foxy! Great job not stepping on pussycat paws or flopping fish fins!"

Note that the fish only shows up in the last 4 minutes of this 11 minute workout. I urge you to do yourself a favor and get your exercise and entertainment in one place!

The Last Book on Decluttering You'll Ever Need

(Originally published 27 February 2021)  That's the bold subtitle of Tracy McCubbin's 2019 organizing book Making Space, Clutter Free . Big thanks to my sister for finding and sharing it. I just picked it up from the library this morning, and loved what she has to say in the introductory chapter "What's Under the Clutter? A New Approach." She says she wants to liberate us from the shame and emotional weight of our clutter. "I want your home to be a place that you enjoy being in, that helps you quickly and efficiently get out into the world, and that you can share with others as often as you feel like. If your home isn't all three things — restful, helpful, and shareable — then on some level, your home is taking energy from you instead of supporting you to live your best life." Wow, if page 5 is that profound, I can't wait to dive in to better understanding the 7 emotional clutter blocks she identifies, and how to address them. She breaks her ...

Thank you, Spark People and Friends

(Originally published 16 August 2021)  I had to write one last blog. It's bittersweet to be saying good-bye. This site has been a huge part of my life for 11 years, and the very best part of that has been the community of support and encouragement. Checking in daily with the teams I led, the mutual support and celebrating with Spark Friends, sending and receiving goodies—that's what I knew I would miss the most. So soon after we got the news back in June, my GG co-leader and I decided Discord would be the best place to move A Gathering of Goddesses and my beloved Babysteps Brigade. Our new home doesn't have all the bells and whistles SP did, but we post on different threads, check in, and get to play with a large number of emojis and GIFs! If you want to check it out, set up a free account on  discord.com/  and send me a message: Blessed Being#5304, And I am so thankful that SP gave us more than two months' notice before closing down. It gave us a chance to save wh...

Hypocrisy of the “Pro-Birth” Zealots

First, I refuse to refer to these hypocrites as “Pro-Life.” Contrary to their claims, they care nothing about life—only birth. They don’t care about the quality of life of the pregnant women they want to force to give birth or of the babies they decree must be born. If they did, these same rightwing extremists would be earmarking funds to support prenatal & postnatal care, community mental health services, public education, child protection, free and mandatory DNA testing to identify the fathers of these unwanted infants they want to legislate into being. Heck, they should be supporting gun control, so every child can attend school, go to the store or a place of worship without risking being gunned down by a mad man with an automatic weapon! At a time when parents everywhere are scrambling to find formula for their infants who are already here, these anti-abortionists want to flood the population with many more babies who may go hungry. They don’t care if they are condemning th...
