Please come by as often as you like. I'll leave out some special lemonade for you. I make it with an orange, lots of lemons, and some vanilla agave. It's super refreshing. We can put it on ice too. @Will: I find dialoguing with myself to be good stuff. Helps me see everything that's going on. If seeing mine helped you be kinder to yourself or understand yourself more - that's a beautiful thing. Thank you for telling me. Truly. @Willie – So glad you stopped by from Havi’s blog.

And totally safe - just so ya know. @Natalia: My sister really liked Freakonomics and told me about it. Sounds like I'd find it interesting based on what you're sharing too. Tonight I went to the beach at midnight with my neighbors. I'm open to seeing what the "consequences" of that action will be. Everything has side effects. One might be that I'm tired in the morning. We'll see! @Eileen: Ooo…mind blowing is good. And totally safe – just so ya know.

Have you read Freakonomics? Fascinating argument about abortion! Abortion=fewer babies raised in poverty and/or unwanted, people who typically turn into criminals later in life=lower crime rates. It's an argument backed up with facts, of course. But yes, everything is more complex than one can initially tell. And true, taking the nonviolence vow when not ready constitutes a violent action toward yourself. Awesome to make the connection and point that out. Glad you became open to the pro-choice option.

You just kind of blew my mind with the One Good Idea explanation. Seriously, thank you for this. Short-term vs long-term, big-picture vs. little-picture...Yes! Now I want to go get the mouse and cookie book. :) Lots of love, ~Eileen Whoa. You just kind of blew my mind with the One Good Idea explanation. Seriously, thank you for this.

I found you through Havi's site, where you made a great comment about an octopus. Then I read this post and it was even better. So, I just wanted to say: hi, you're awesome, I'll be back. Hi!
