Yeah that would be poor iGypsy who cant afford Typepad any more :) But point taken!
Moved!
I've moved my blog over to another platform and I'm not sure yet how it affects the rss feed so, if you subscribe to Shapeshifting by a reader you may want to go to the new site and renew your subscription or use this: http://www.shapeshifting.me/rss.xml Of course it may just work all on its own...
Yep. Point 3. CC. Always with me and yet never. Still lost without him.

That lunar eclipse turned my brain into Spaghetti Junction last night. No sleep for the inspired. But no clear thoughts either. If I was to write a long (too long) post about my interwoven thought processes right now it would include these threads: Online business coaching is producing multi-le...
It would be if you HAD bingo wings, you freak :)

What, no flesh? :) You mean there is something in this world that you and I would BOTH enjoy eating??? Or does MSG actually stand for Medium Steak of Gerbil?

I owe my body a huge favour. Several. Many. I owe it. It's taken me to some wonderful places, literally and figuratively, and I'm now asking it to take me on the second half of this adventure. Now, I want to talk. Now, I want our relationship back. Now, after some years of ignoring it in favour ...
Um..it IS cucumber :) That's what happens when you blog with a five year old talking about Dr Who on your lap. Thanks for pointing it out :)

Well you would...you share hair :)
Among other things.
Hello Sweetie*
Keeping it real. If you're going to turn your life around and write about it then you need to keep it real or that writing means nothing. So in that spirit I will tell you that yesterday was a bad, bad day. Maybe it's resistance, maybe it's circumstances, whatever. The upshot was that I lay awak...
And you're doing it with such STYLE sweetie :) Go #TwiCov!

I absolutely LOVE that there are still people reading from The Old Days - thats wonderful. I agree, these friendships are amazing. I dont know about Cowgirl and Ava but Evie and Alisas daughter are now Skype buddies so weve launched the next generation :)
Is it just me or does 2006 feel an AWFUL long time ago :)?
A week
Phew. So Alisa came to visit and it was completely lovely. She and I have chatted (thank you GMail IM) every day, no really, since 2005. We met, as did many of my much-loved online circle, while we were waiting for our children. She lives in Canada, I live in England and our daughters were born ...
Hi Kerstin, thanks so much for coming over and for subscribing. I think daydreaming is a powerful tool (my nickname as a child was Dolly Daydream and Ive stayed fairly true to type :) ). My meditation/daydream about my older self was a slow reveal. I think I started by noticing that she/I have dirt under my nails - hands and feet. The earth had become even more important than it is here and now.
We dont so much need role models, although I think they can be fun for working with aspects of our personalities...I love a good warrior woman when I need to be more assertive. I think we just need to believe we can be remarkable and take it from there.

What am I starting before I'm ready? A project. A project about me. A project about me becoming who I really want to be. A project about me becoming who I really want to be before April 26, 2013. I was happy to be 30 and I was fine with being 40 but 50 - not so much. In fact, not at all. All tha...
Oh that's a good timeline. Yes let's keep each other on track. I have my class lined up for Tuesday evenings and need to remember where I stashed my personal Marianne. xxx
Yirah
Thinking about the future version of me (I need a snappy little nickname for her/me) that I'm inspired by and determined to be, I was aware of a 'something', a quality I couldn't pinpoint that was a major part of the difference between her and me. Then it became obvious...she has a serenity, an ...
Oh I hear ya. Cute! But so like my ex-SIL facially that my crush is somewhat subdued :)

Do it! I emailed a woman who teaches nearby and seems to be someone I'd like. She's expecting me Tuesday evening and Charlie knows not to book that time out. Pleeeeeeeeease don't let me get a migraine.

I'm in such early stages...I mean I'm not kidding about not being ready :)...but I'd love to talk to you soon. Thanks so much for commenting. I will, I'll be in touch.

Oh Mel I sooo love this response. And you have been a force of nature lately :)
What's new pt 1
I've been bombarded by sharp, pointy, acupuncturesque inspiration lately. I think I prepared for it. With things being so bad I hadn't felt like doing much of anything, to be honest. I was feeling beaten and ready to just throw in the towel on mindful living, optimism, dreams, smiling, housework...
Of course. What were doing in our heads, youre physically DOING. I can only imagine and sympathise!

I'm struggling a bit with this change over into Spring. No manic, takeovertheworldness this year. I'm feeling depleted and beaten. Weary and full of ennui. I know it will pass. A lesson came to me this weekend about the strength, power and comfort to be found in the dark. I took myself into it a...
Milena, I think it does us all good to know were not alone in the un-perkiness and the downbeat. Our time will come. Were moving through. Keep writing your stories :) x

Keeping company with you would be most excellent (and, Id bet, wed probably laugh a lot). Heres to breathing and living the crazy. x

Thats so cool. I know exactly what you mean about the ten foot pole. I look at things I think I want and need and when theyre not really me I can sense that...um...yknow when you try to put two magnets together the wrong way? Yeah that.
Its self-acceptance again and again eh? When we feel as if we need to be trying harder to be something better it all goes wrong. Maybe its enough for me to the person who loves being around dogs and making funny stuff in her tiny amounts of spare time and sitting with her chickens and gardening and (gasp) watching crap TV and drooling over Pinterest and snuggling with my daughter more than putting stuff on etsy or whatever. Maybe thats what the world needs of me.
I love the days I can see this. There are so many that I cant but these good days...sweet. Im so glad youre finding it too.
Into the light
When, hot on Christchurch's exhausted heels, came the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, the daily details of my life seemed trivial. It sounded so trite to talk of human spirit and positivity and I winced at tweets and status updates and blog posts (including mine) about pretty stuff and meals ea...

You have most excellent taste in cats. He rocks the whole world and

The Ninth and Never-ending Life of CaseyCat
CaseyCat is 19 today. I was only 28 when he was born. My sister, now a mother of two strapping boys, was 11 years old. Together we've lived in five homes and seen many other four-legged loved ones come and go*. He loves Nellie Bean - theirs is a 14 year friendship - and attempts to be nice to ...
