My New Vintage Fabric Bow!
The Brighter Side of My Day!
The symptoms of Life....
About 3 years ago, I had my baby boy, Yaju, who passed with a brain tumor. It was by far, the worst time in my life. I had been through surgery 11 years ago, and still, it wasn't as traumatizing. Yaju started with a patch of fur that went missing from his cheek.... from there, he stopped eating, and after a couple of months... he lost his vision.
I tried to diagnose his problems myself, researching online and such. I had to drive about 10 miles 4 times a week for about 2 months, trying to find out what was wrong with my child. They didn't have an answer. The answer came, after I had completely lost myself, to my son's illness. I was at work, and I was told he had a brain tumor. It wasn't until I saw the x-ray, that it was evident, he was going to have to be set free from his pain.
The strange part, was that the Doctor who performed the cat-scan, was a friend of my Father-in-Law. As soon as I saw the massive tumor, pushing his brain to the side, I cried like a maniac. The fact it wasn't diagnosed earlier, made me furious... and sad. To top it off, I had to decide right there, if I was going to take my son home, or if I wanted to lay him to rest right then.
I knew my Sister would want to say goodbye, so we decided to take him home. He rode on my lap, content, as we made the long journey home. When we got there, we decided to pull the mattress down so he could sleep with us. I was like the Mother Hen all night, as I watched my Baby Boy find his way through his dark visions, to his food bowl and back to the bed.
The next morning, after I had finally fallen asleep from my Mother Hen duties, I quickly awoke to the sound of my panicked husband. My son was convulsing in his arms. I didn't know what to do, except cry, and ran next door to my Sister's, to tell her that "It was time."
After making that decision, my vet asked me if that was what I wanted to do. I know that he hadn't seen the x-ray, but was still very pissed off that he had the nerve to ask me this. No, I didn't want to do this... it was the only option to releave my Son from the pain.
I wonder why people of healing, can't mix spiritual and western medicine together.
My Mom, is both. She performed healing touch on me, 11 years ago, to diagnose me with my illness. So here the next story goes....
This guy I dated on and off for six or so years ( I might get into this story again later on....), passed away, unexpectedly. I found out, a couple of weeks later. After knowing, I was devastated, never had I felt such sadness. The next couple of days, I was working, as usual, and began to feel a lot of pain in my abdomen. I came home from work, and my Mom did Reiki on me. After the entire process, she asked me what I felt. I told her, that I had felt these little men inside me, pulling things aside, and there was a hole.
Come to find out, after 9 hours of surgery, that there was a hole. How completely amazing... and scary. There is no medical explanation that 1/2 my colon had to come out... my appendix was wrapped up on it, making a hole shape... all my Mom told me was that part of me died with him.
The 11th year of his passing was yesterday, which makes it a grand ol' time for such speaking... which brings on....
Why?!!! Why do people have to deal with this? Deal with this modern day medication and paranoia?! Why can't we all just be natural healers... with energy and plants.
I can't stand pharmaceutical companies that only focus on mind drugs... let your minds free.... of course you will have anxiety... especially if you focus on this.... ah!!!!
So I know that Yusuke is going to be alright.... but it is this focus that is reoccurring day in and day out for me. People keep going in, and coming out of the hospital lately and I just want to say to pass the good energy along. Energy is what surrounds all living things... we need to keep it positive, to better those around us.

The Photos that Followed...
Emi looked super cute today. She is super silly because she didn't want her photo taken, but I told her that people needed to see how cute she looked, even when she was working at home. I am the same way when I work from home, but I would have heels on(;
Cat and I were just talking about the guy who lived at the house across the street, and how he has random people take him back home everyday. He used to do it himself, just flip around in his chair and go backwards. Sometimes I wonder if helping people in the long run actually hurts them.... hmmm.
The rest I think I previously wrote about, the guy who did a wardrobe change, the mops, oh!... The Penguin Puffin hat thing is at NaNa-La! I have always laughed at him, but just the way it was wardrobed and put with my "Mr. Logic Man," one of my Un-Conventional one-of-a-kind necklaces, made me laugh even harder. That was sort of the story behind the necklace... a sort of silliness behind it.
1st Real Day as A Blogger
I am aware of everything... oh, except that my ankle boot was unzipped for half of my walk... silly me. I was laughing and of course, I have it documented. Today was a different Monday, b/c instead of Yusuke being next door at NaNa-La, I worked there today. I am usually at Imonni, which is the girl clothes, today I got to work at the boy store (which is actually for grown men, I think "boy store" sounds cuter.)
Cat worked at Imonni today, and I couldn't help but take a million pictures of her fabulous outfit.
I always think it is funny, that I mop in heels and fab outfits, so I decided to take some cleaning inspired shots of us.
Across the street, there is a half-way house. It took me awhile to figure this out. I had seen random people leaving it, walking around. Now, it has been 2 years, and the familiarity is in tune. There is a newer addition to the house, a man who goes around and asks everyone for money, yet, he gets everything paid for at his house. Today, I actually caught him out panhandling, then he didn't get any money, so he went back to his house and changed into something better!!! I couldn't believe it. I used to feel sorry for him, but this guy knows what he is doing. He would come to the store at first, and learned that just asking the street walkers was more sufficient. Being in Hollywood, I am quite used to panhandlers. I would give them my leftovers, which they in turn, would throw away right in front of me. It was upsetting to me because I would have eaten that food! I had very limited money and food was normally a bowl of rice in those days... ug...
Point of the story, I suppose, is that I hate when people ask for money and don't need it. I know this guy looks a little rough around the edges, but what is he collecting for? Perhaps I need to ask. Oh yes... I will report back later.
Later...
AH! I wrote before adding pictures and now I am having difficulties! I have tried to add the photos a million times, and it isn't working out the way I want it... So, I am going to post this, then add the photos... because I can. This is my blog... so there! heehee

The Morning After

Welcome to the New Century
The first one to be pulled out of the dusty box, is from March 1993, made by Aunt Julie, of Sonic Youth, Donna Summer, Pet Shop Boys, Messiah, and The Pixies. Second mix I found is undated, but remembered to be around 5th grade, Snap, Deee-lite, Ministry, and World Party. This is only 2, out of the 50 I have... all of them are a very eclectic mix!
