Autums sculpture :D

Elish made me a drawing & explained how we have two brains a smaller one & a larger one. The larger communicating to the smaller one. (Bicameral mind) also she told me we have three hearts. In the Popol Vuh's creational myth there are three dieties in the celestial realm collectively called Tepeu the Hearts of Heaven. She is so in tune! <3 my little Elish! 

Creation Myth

"The book begins with the creation myth of the K'ichee' Maya, which credits the creation of humans to the three water-dwelling feathered serpents:

There was only immobility and silence in the darkness, in the night. Only the Creator, the Maker, Tepeu, Gucumatz, the Forefathers, were in the water surrounded with light. They were hidden under green and blue feathers, and were therefore called Gucumatz...
and to the three other deities, collectively called "Heart of Heaven":

Then while they meditated, it became clear to them that when dawn would break, man must appear. Then they planned the creation, and the growth of the trees and the thickets and the birth of life and the creation of man. Thus it was arranged in the darkness and in the night by the Heart of Heaven who is called Huracán. The first is called Caculhá Huracán. The second is ChipiCaculhá. The third is Raxa-Caculhá. And these three are the Heart of Heaven."

My letter to Ellie,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Ellie,

For this I followed Bob's Red Mill Pancake Recipe which I had found online. I modified the ingredients of course to add pumpkin in... about 1 cup. I also used stevia instead of sugar. (Note that since my friend Amanda brought me a electric hand mixer my baked goods are now less bland. Previously I did all of my mixing with the trusty old fashioned wooden spoon.)

I made a cream cheese frostig using stevia as well. 

Top your pancakes with what ever you would like. Me, I'm using cream cheese frosting, plump black raisins & almonds. (Note toastig the almonds would be so super Yummie. I'm just short on time as I need to lift weights and start on my holiday cards. The girls dressed for photos today thanks to Nana's AWESOME taste in xmas dresses. :D

I'll be posting photos of the girls shortly. 

ENJOY your pan cakes!!!!! <3 xoxoxoxox

Normally I like to type a bit with a blog post, however I have a list of things that I want to accomplish. I know who am I kidding right? I have the on going list every day 24/7 a week. 

The life of Mom/Brigitte/Brighid/ is always being torn between the Libra scales, Pisces dreamland and Cancer emotions. Hrm...

To balance normal mommy/wifey chores with the wonderment of creating art and being creative. Which one wins out the majority of the time???  Mommy/wifey chores because I have four kiddos and a sweet heart of a husband and they are my first priority. I'll have my art when we win the lotto, I have a house keeper and a tutor. :P 

Til then SUPER MOM is haggerty haggerty season 10. 

My nine year old daughter, after watching a movie about a british ballgame stadium being bombed, with tears in her eyes and snot running down her face said to me. "war is no good, it's not good for anything. It doesn't prove anything other than the fact that you are a murderer."

She knows many of our friends are in the military and she is not being disrespectful. This comes from her heart.

Lifting weights and tonight this song came on during my deadlifts. It fired me up. It helped me to envision my daughters taking their Jiu-jitsu classes and being able to fight!

Hear me out my friends before you decide to loathe the fact that this song fires me up. I am a patriot though perhaps not in the same way that you may be. Hear me out friends. Though "if you don't understand don't even bother to ask."

Born a fighter to a line of fighters on my fathers side and survivors of disasters on my mothers side. 

From birth I had to fight for my life, no pulse no breathe, where was my hikwsi? My WILL to be, my Will to survive.

A mother who has grown up with a fatherless past...

a child who has heard the stories growing up with vietnam vets...

a survivor of molestation...

a woman who was going to join the Army...

a survivor of the aftermath of hurricane Katrina....

"Come along follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me and I won't steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel
We gonna fight, we gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march
Through the swamp, we gonna mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors"

This is what I am to my family, to my children, to my husband....

I am the matriarch I have the spark that we need to proceed, to carry on, to give hope, to give strength. No I wont steer my family wrong.

They put their faith in me as the matriarch, "I give sight to the blind, my insight through the mind
I exercise my right to express when I feel it's time"
