Oh, man, I just enjoyed the most epically lazy Sunday! It was fabulous!

I did very little else other than read, watch baseball, make yummy fruit smoothies for lunch, and goof around with The Nieces. It was a lovely day!

I did do a bit of trip planning that didn't involve Glam Nation tour stops. Namely a long weekend in San Diego in early September for a family wedding. This would be little fun at all if not for the fact that the wedding is at a gorgeous resort (spa time!), there will be an open bar (drunk time!) and I'm thinking of taking The Nieces so they can have a day at Sea World (fun time!).

Also, when Diana's Grove came up in conversation with my mom, she remembered me telling her that this was the last year the Grove would be operating and said she'd really like to go for a weekend. I think this is truly awesome! She really wants to go! So we're making plans to go for the Feast of Persephone in late September. It's so cool to see her so excited about this! And I'm absolutely thrilled to be able to get back to the Grove one more time. <3

In all, this has been a damn good Sunday.
Some colors from today:

:: All my gratitude to the men and women who serve and have served in our armed forces. Their service and sacrifice are noted, valued, and appreciated.

:: I am deeply saddened by the news that Diana's Grove will be sold. At the same time, I am so grateful for the work that Cynthea, Patricia, and all of the Grove staff and community have wrought. My life has been changed by the manifestation of their dream, as I know many others have been similarly impacted. Change is rarely easy, but it is always necessary. I understand that Mystery School will continue in some form, so I am both challenged and excited to redouble my commitment to get back to Mystery School next year, and, hopefully, to get back to the land once more as well, and to continue this work in my own life and my various communities.

:: I love the way dance challenges me to work with both my head and my heart. Yesterday's lesson was very technical, full of small details, whys and wherefores, counts and precision. All of which I need and want and get frustrated when I don't have. And, yet, it wasn't until I stopped thinking and just felt that it finally came together.
Some days I no matter how many phone calls I make or how many emails I send or how many different ways I try to get through the piles of crap on my to do list all I manage to do is spin my wheels and get absolutely nothing done except to get supremely frustrated. Thankfully, this is NOT one of those days. Today I have blazed my way through most of my "to do" list. There is still a trial file in complete disarray on my table just begging for some organization, but other than that everything that I hoped to get done today is done and it's not even 4:30! Today I obviously ROCK!

What doesn't rock, though, is the sad news that there is clear-cut logging decimating the land bordering Diana's Grove. I haven't been able to make it to the Grove this year, and frankly I don't know if I will until after any future move to L.A., but that land is still very much at the heart of my spiritual community. That clearcutting happens at all is tragic, that it's happening around the Grove makes me both unbearably sad and angry. I'm deciding how I can help, but the least I can do is spread the word and hopefully bring some awareness to an important environmental issue.

Gah! Now I need something HAPPY to think about! I know! BASEBALL!!! Tomorrow! Allie and I have tickets to the afternoon D-Backs game, so I'll be playing hooky from the office and going to the ballpark instead! \o/
