Getting to Know Michelle

 

Thought it would be fun to get to know another side of me.

Today,  you will meet Chelle;  the girl who just wants to have fun.

As a Gemini, there are definitely at least two of me!  For those into astrology, I have a Cancer moon and Virgo ascendant.

I was born in the summer of 1969, a good year I am told.

I have passion for all things related to learning: reading, writing, coaching, speaking, seminars, ideas, words, language.  I also love the beach, dark chocolate with coconut, and pizza--bless the person who first created it!

I will admit freely that I TOTALLY LOVE THE 80s! Especially the music and can be found dancing around my car and house to my favorite tunes. Yes, I even have some hand-made tapes from the old school days, and Yes, I still listen to them with complete joy!

I know an amazingly amount of almost-accurate lyrics to songs. And Yes, I sing them loud and proud, much to the consternation of my friends. I have performed Karaoke once or twice and do a pretty decent rendition of Madonna's get into the groove.

Ok, since I am really letting my hair down, I will also confess that on occasion, I can have blond moments and completely space where I left my keys or have to pause and ponder, did I just hit the send button?! or what was I just working on?! or what did I name that article?!

In the course of my adult life, I have managed to survive 3 major car accidents--- all of which only involved me, my car, the road, the ocean (the most recent in May 07) And Yes, all three were TOTALED. Thankfully I have never been injured or ill.

This is one of my great reasons for believing in guardian angels!

I have big financial goals I have yet to meet.

I have big dreams that are coming true as we speak.

Things I like to do:

1. Love and be loved by my dogs, Briosa and Bosko
2. Travel:   My favorite place on earth I have been is Kauai, Hawaii.   My dream vacation is to Italy.
3. If I have to watch instead of read, I will watch a spiritual movie, anything with a powerful or provocative message. Since I do not have cable, I spend more time on the internet, and do watch educational or inspirational you tube videos. 

One day I will create one of my own video

It will either be my serious side speaking on a spiritual topic or a friend getting even with me with one of my karaoke performances!

I hope you enjoyed my sharing, let me know what you found interesting!

Oh, and if you love the 80s like I love the 80s, we are so like best friends forever!

Think of the Soul--A Poem by RW Emerson

THINK OF THE SOUL
Think of the Soul;
I swear to you that body of yours gives proportions to your Soul
somehow to live in other spheres; I do not know how, but I know it is so.
Think of loving and being loved; I swear to you, whoever you are,
you can interfuse yourself
With such things that everybody that sees you shall look longingly upon you.
Think of the past; I warn you that in a little while others will find their past in you and your times.
The race is never separated – nor man nor woman escapes;
All is inextricable – things, spirits, Nature, nations, you too from precedents you come.
Recall the ever-welcome defiers (The mothers precede them;)
Recall the sages, poets, saviors, inventors, lawgivers, of the earth;
Recall Christ, brother of rejected persons – brother of slaves, felons, idiots, and of insane and diseased persons.
Think of the time when you were not yet born;
Think of times you stood at the side of the dying;
Think of the time when your own body will be dying.
Think of spiritual results,
Sure as the earth swims through the heavens, does every one of its objects pass into spiritual results.
Think of manhood, and you to be a man;
Do you count manhood, and the sweet of manhood, nothing?

Think of womanhood, and you to be a woman;
The creation is womanhood; Have I not said that womanhood involves all?
Have I not told how the universe has nothing better than the best womanhood?

Written 1856 by Ralph Waldo Emerson

This idea still applies today.
Think of your own soul, what does it long for today? Mine is longing for expression.
