Gut Monkey's Leading X program facilitates life-changing experiences for adults in the bleeding disorders community. We canoed down the Green River in eastern Utah as it flows towards and joins the Colorado River. During our trip, the river was flowing at 15,000 cubic feet per second. When it was put in terms of a cubic foot being the size of a basketball, I was simply amazed! www.gutmonkey.com/leading-x
One-armed explorer John Wesley Powell led a couple of expeditions down these canyons nearly 150 years ago when he realized the value and beauty of the region. Without his life-long support of this area, many large cities in the southwest may not have flourished as they have.
Mary C. Rabbitt wrote about his motivation in the US Department of Interior's1969 publication of "The Colorado River Region and John Wesley Powell"
"Finally, he made up his mind. The region to the southwest was largely unexplored, represented on the Government maps as a blank. There were many and fabulous stories about the Colorado River which flowed through it, of explorers who had disappeared, of places where the river disappeared underground, and of great falls. The Indians were afraid of the river. They said that long ago a chief, who was mourning the death of his wife, had been taken by a god to visit her in the happier land where she then dwelled so that he would cease to mourn. The trail to this beautiful land was the canyon of the Colorado. On their return, lest others who were discontented with this life should attempt to reach heaven before their appointed time, the god had rolled a river into the gorge, a mad, raging stream that would engulf anyone who tried. But, Powell said, "the thought grew into my mind that the canyons of this region would be a book of revelations in the rock-leaved Bible of geology. The thought fructified, and I determined to read the book."

i feel like a flickr failure when i don't upload something at least once a week.
this is a really, really rough draft of a video i'm going to do when i get around to buying a new charger for my camcorder. filmed these clips with my built in webcam because i couldn't sleep last night, hahah. so i apologize for the poor quality.
i didn't realize the irony in the three books on my sidetable until after i filmed that shot.
1) a light in the attic- i've always loved shel silverstein. i think he's brilliant. whenever i read his books, i get ideas for writing. so it's kind of an inspirational book, although it's a children's book :P
2) invisible monsters by chuck palahniuk- this book is lifechanging. it made me think a lot and i think it changed the way i look at a lot of things. it's amazing. i've read it three times now
3) the holy bible- the only reason this is on my desk is because my dad's girlfriend bought it for me, haha. i'm not a religious person whatsoever. and if i were forced to choose a religion it would certainly not be christianity.
which is what makes
4) the little baby buddha so appropriate. if i did choose a religion, it would either be judaism or buddhism.
just a little something i thought i'd share :P

My babygirl turns 9 today!!! Exactly nine years ago, to the minute, I gave birth to my second child. A girl named Luna Jobayla. A lifechanging moment, even more than the birth of my first daughter. This time I was alone. Pretty exciting and sometimes scary and overwhelming. Never someone to talk to, hand things over to or just have a night off. But I am blessed with my kids, they've given me so much love, joy and pride. And the older they get, the more I love being a mom. Happy birthday Luna! Enjoy your day today. I hope you will never lose the girl you are now, you will grow up to be a wonderful woman one day.

This was a pivotal level of relaxation I encountered having slvrbrboy1 with me this week. I've discovered things about myself and learned things about my friends that I would have never known without this visit happening. There are friendships, and then there are lifechanging friendships. Every friendship I have can easily become a lifechanger. Slvrbrboy1 has showed me how to truly be...
