			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, here I am feeling yukkey about not blogging for months, when I come across &#8220;Blogging Without Obligation&#8221;.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.tartx.com/blog/?page_id=233">http://www.tartx.com/blog/?page_id=233</a></p>
<p>Makes me feel sooo connected to all of you who stress about it. Check this out and feel better, Y&#8217;all.</p>
<p>Did you hear that &#8220;Southern&#8221; coming out?  Yep! I have moved back to my hometown of Minden, Louisiana. Living with my 88 year old Mom.  :-\ , waiting for my apartment to be finished.</p>
<p>Spending 8 &#8211; 10 hours each day rebuilding/transforming my Dad&#8217;s old workshop into a workshop/studio for me. Pop died Nov. 2007.  I am very close to finishing; except, is any project ever finished if your ADD?</p>
<p>Will be working on a pdf of before and after pictures.</p>
<p>Stay tuned&#8230;or not.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I mean, really.</p>
<p>The name of this blog IS &#8220;Transformations&#8221; isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>That covers a lot of life.</p>
<p>In fact, it covers life.</p>
<p>That is, if we are really searching for growth, self knowledge and awareness in this lifetime.</p>
<p>Having said that, I give you a bit of history, which brought me to my present feelings about health and wellness.</p>
<p>When I was growing up in a very small town, the doctor&#8217;s words were absolute and unquestioned.</p>
<p>Then I moved to California.</p>
<p>After years of specialists separating me into different parts; my California MD referred me to the Chinese Physician, who practiced right there in the MD&#8217;s office.</p>
<p>After taking my medical history, she explained how each symptom was connected to the others. I broke down and cried. For the first time in many years, I began to feel like a whole being.</p>
<p>My Medical Doctors included so much more in their offices, such as Massage Therapists, Ayurvedic Physicians, Nutritional testing and products. It was amazing and wonderful.</p>
<p>I began studying anatomy, physiology, oriental medicine, several styles of massage therapy, energy healing, six other types of body work, and attended dozens and dozens of health seminars.</p>
<p>In every class, book, or seminar the most important thing I kept learning over and over, is, that we are pure energy, as is the entire universe.</p>
<p>These experiences gave me a deeper understanding of our bodies as pure energy, and the need for us to take responsibility for our own health, wellness, and peace of mind.</p>
<p>I hope the information and articles here will bring the readers to that same understanding.</p>

making some damn profits already!)<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="entry">My daughter suggested about three years ago that I should write an online newsletter. When I thought of deadlines and their accompanying urgency to write something quick, I panicked!</div>
<div class="entry">So what could I call it, if it wasn’t a ‘newsletter’?  Then as if in answer to my question, I discovered a new word, &#8220;Blog&#8221;.</div>
<div class="entry">What a perfect vehicle for my musings and mutterings.</div>
<div class="entry">No deadlines&#8230;..Yesss!</div>
<div class="entry">Journal entries when (and if) I feel like it. Yesss!</div>
<div class="entry">But, what could I call it? You know?  Like a name, a word, a title?</div>
<div class="entry">Mknze&#8217;s Blog?  Puhleeze. I don&#8217; sink so.</div>
<div class="entry">Then, one day, I had just turned a table over on it&#8217;s side to paint it a different color, yet again. I spoke softly to the table. (Yep, you heard correctly. I do talk to objects and if you find that worrisome, you can stop right here.) Anyway, what I said to the table was this: “Well old friend, here we go with another transformation; a new life in a new room in a different house. I promise to do my very best to make you beautiful again this time.”</div>
<div class="entry">Then the word hit me…. <span style="font-style: italic">“Transformations”</span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: 700">“Transformations” seems to be the perfect name for what I do every day.<br />
</span>Over the years, I have transformed paint and canvas into works of art, buildings, yards, houses, rooms, walls, windows, furniture, fabric, and a multitude of ordinary objects into functional things of beauty.<br />
And now, I am transforming photographs into digital works of art, and beads, fibers, wire, etc. into jewelry.<br />
Not to mention the fact that lately, I have been transforming the pure red clay in my back yard into pure red mud. I used to love gardening.<br />
<span style="font-weight: 700"> The only constant in life is change, which is <em>transforming</em>.   If we are not changing, we are not learning; we are not growing.<br />
I am daily attempting to transform me. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 700"><span style="font-weight: 700"><br />
</span></span></div>
