On Judgment
Last week, an anonymous poster left some really mean-spirited comments on my blog. (Thanks for sticking up for me, Rachael!). One was under the post Five Things, where she wrote:
I think it's interesting that you spend your entire pregnancy trying to do what's right for the baby, but then you decide to give birth at home because of the experience you want. Selfish, indeed.
You remind me of Maggie Gyllenhaal's character in "Away We Go." With your "unschooling" and "lotus birth" BS. That is not a compliment.
And the other was under the post Once Upon a Child:
You are amazingly judgmental. It's not funny. It's pathetic.
So, yeah. There it is.
I'm assuming the poster is not reading my blog anymore. I don't know why she would be... (although, apparently, she read enough of it in the first place to comment on two different posts made almost a month apart, as well as knowing that I'm an unschooler and have done lotus births.)
It is difficult to define where the line between passion, belief, and annoyance with the dichotomy of the human culture ends and judgment begins. Within the world of birth and parenting, it is doubly hard.
When I say something like, "I think that, barring an emergency, home is the best place to give birth," I am not trying to be judgmental any more than when I say, "Grilled Chicken and Bacon Stuffed Pizza is the absolutely BEST pizza you can get at Papa Murphy's."
That is just WHAT I THINK. It is WHAT I BELIEVE (in both cases).
My mind is extremely structured in this way, THAT'S WHAT THE PSYCHIC SAID!
Like, when I'm in Papa Murphy's watching everybody ordering pizzas that are NOT Grilled Chicken and Bacon Stuffed, I don't say anything to them about their choices. I don't judge them. I don't try to make them feel bad about it. But, since I am so passionate about the Grilled Chicken and Bacon Stuffed Pizza at Papa Murphy's, I will then come home and write about it on my blog.
Why aren't people getting offended by that?
Granted, I do admit that I might be judgmental about certain things... like the whole circumcision thing (I'm assuming the poster didn't see that one, or she really would have let me have it), and maybe the gallbladder/douche bag thing (although, I'm a bit hesitant to label that one as judgment... it can more accurately be attributed to the workings of my structured mind in that I saw the most logical solution to the problem, but then I was a prick about it because my mom didn't listen to my advice. It wasn't a good thing for me to be a prick, but it wasn't necessarily judgment either).
I don't know. Judgment can be tricky because that line can be so thin and/or confusing.
In closing, here is my advice which I have been giving to my husband every day since I've visited the psychic: "Remember... I am smart. I make good choices. You should listen to me."

My Take on the Psychic
My visit with the psychic was a very powerful, spiritual experience. I would highly recommend it. (And if you want the contact information for the psychic I visited, please e-mail me privately at goofymama@hotmail.com and I'll get it out to you. She'll do in-person readings if you live in the Minneapolis area, but she'll also do them over the phone as well.)
Here's my take:
First of all, I was kind of surprised at how much she talked about education surrounding me and how smart I am.
Because, here's the thing... I don't really think I'm that smart. Back when I was in Minnesota, I actually commented to my friends about how smart they all were (so well-read, so articulate and able to communicate their intelligence), and how I didn't feel I was able to keep up with them. (I'm really good at surrounding myself with smart people, at least. Vernon's a real nerd too.)
I only got a 23 on my ACT scores. My high school GPA was, like, a 3.85. I went to a technical college instead of a regular university because I "didn't really know what I wanted to do with my life and didn't want to spend all that money figuring it out." So, I got a certificate in desktop publishing (which is really just a poor man's version of a graphic designer) from the technical college in East Grand Forks, MN and that was that.
I asked my friends who had visited the psychic first, "So... did she talk a lot about how smart you were?" thinking that maybe it might just be what she does. But they said, "No, not really." (And then I felt kind of like a turd for asking that. Albeit, a very smart turd.)
So, I don't know, maybe it was just something I needed to hear. But it's nice because now I can pepper my conversations with Vernon with, "I'm smart. I make good decisions. You should listen to me."(Which hasn't really helped much.)
Anywho... I don't really see myself as a teacher, and certainly not in the most traditional sense of the word. But I do like to learn. I like to study things. I like to read. I like to spell things correctly. I guess I was just expecting something more... interesting (for my life's purpose).
When she talked about "a shift unfolding in Colorado", I think I may have figured out what that shift is. Hold on to your hats here, my dear internet, because this is going to be a big one:
You know how we were going to move to Florida for Vernon to do some chiropractic business training for 6-8 months after he graduates?
Well, he wasn't accepted into the program.
Now Vern thinks that he should associate for a year to learn the ins-and-outs of a chiropractic business. So he'll have to find a doctor to do that under (and I don't know where that will be because it can't be with just ANY chiropractic doctor... it has to be with a chiropractic doctor who is NOT a douche bag).
When we first learned that he wasn't accepted into the training (which was only a couple of weeks ago), we toyed with the idea of him opening up his practice right after graduation (or as soon as possible after getting all of the business ducks in a row thereafter). I got excited about that idea. It would mean settling down. It would mean we would be done with all of this transitional stuff (because all of this transitional stuff ended up being a lot harder on me than I expected).
Remember when I was all, like, life is a journey... blah, blah, blah. And, although it is a good one, I've been having a hard time embracing that sentiment lately. It's not even so much that I miss Minnesota (although I do), it is more that I am left with these feelings of unrest and of being unsettled.
And now, with Vern going to associate FOR A YEAR, those feelings have been extended even further.
I don't know how Brad and Angelina do it, traipsing around the world, raising their many children. I'm craving stability.
So, yeah, that's a shift. More changes to get used to (especially when we were planning on one thing for so long and it didn't work out).
Oh, and remember how the psychic said something about seeing a rubber band, snapping us back from Colorado to Minnesota? Well, if we look back on my conversation with that other psychic from May, she also said something about having to go back to Minnesota (in her case, it had to do with paperwork for the sale of our house). But that is interesting, eh?
I guess that's it.

More on the Visit with the Psychic
Here is the rest of it. I'll comment with my thoughts on all of it tomorrow.
Is anything I should know about my kids?
"There's a girl, then boy, then girl, right?" Yes. She said that Ocean, "feels physical and cerebral. Very curious. Very, very smart. She's brilliant! Lots of words. A college-level vocabulary and you're not giving her enough credit for that. She needs to be really challenged so she can be comfortable in her physical body. She is going to be competing competitively. She thrives in structure to help her understand her body more. I see her getting a four-year scholarship for athletics.
"All of your kids ooze sweetness. They are gentle, peaceful souls. All extremely smart. Extremely healthy. They are all independent, will never be traditional thinkers. I can't feel any impurities in their blood at all. Do you eat organic?" Yes. "They are very healthy."
"Ezra is very kind and gentle. Does he have light brown hair?" Yes. "I see him around food. He's all about food. Does he like to cook?" Sometimes.
"Peace is your creative one. I see her as cute and dainty and likes to dance and sing. She likes to pretend. She wants to be free, and will embrace the whole concept of freedom in a way that you're not prepared for."
"You're going to continue to be a great parent. This is part of your life's purpose."
Do you see me doing anything more with my photography?
"Yes! It's a total stress relief for you. It helps you see the beauty in things." I thought I was doing that already, seeing the beauty. "You don't. You see the responsibility - in your marriage, kids.
"I don't see divorce for you at all. Do people tell you that you're a good match?" Yes. "You're a good match."
Do you see me doing anything more within the birth world?
"Like what?" I don't know. More birth photography? "Yes!" A midwife? "I could see you as an alternative type of midwife. I'm seeing someone birthing in the water." But I don't really want to be a midwife. I think it would be too much responsibility. "But you'd be smart enough about it to do the right thing. You are so smart."
"There is all this education around you. You could just be anything in the world that you want. Nutrition is important to you. You could teach about it. You are like an event planner. You're all-embracing of people... as long as they're smart. You don't have tolerance for ignorance or stupidity."
Can you see my dead grandma?
"She feels like a thin lady." No, she wasn't thin at all. "She feels thin because she wants people to know that she felt younger than most people her age. Super happy! Smiled a lot. Happy in life. She's waving her hand. Private. She's got her youth back. Was she 85?" Yes. (READER'S NOTE: Grandma actually died one day before her 85th birthday, which was 7 years ago TODAY.)
Will my blog would be successful?
"It's about food, kids... you're teaching through your blog! Homeschooling, everything about you is a teacher." Will it make any money? "No money. In 5-7 years it could make money. It's slowly getting readers.
"Purification... you could teach safe detox through process. Maybe further down the road, on your blog, when people would start paying for it."
Do you see me developing my intuition more?
"It could develop if you lost your process and learn how to submit (and you don't like that word)" You're right. I don't like that word.
I asked her something about my sister.
"You two are really close." No, not really. "I'm shocked. I see you two as very close, or you will be. She feels like you judged her too much." I have heard that before, but I don't understand it because I don't feel like I judge anybody. "That's because your mind is so structured! When you say something about how you do things, because it's easy for you to see how things should be, and you make such good choices. Then, if they're not doing that, it feels like judgment." Oh.
"I don't feel strong family ties for you, except for you husband and kids. I don't see anything about your dad. You're very independent. You're going to do what you want, when you want. You make good choices."
Do you think we could get my mom to Vermont with us?
"She could. Your mom's a follower, so she could. She followed your dad." But would that be good for her to move there if it means that she's still being a follower? "(excited) Yes! because she could meet her life partner there." (You hear that mom... YOU COULD MEET YOUR LIFE PARTNER THERE!)
Will we like Colorado?
"I see you learning. I keep seeing the image of cattle being herded. A shift is going to unfold in Colorado." What shift? "Don't know yet. I am also seeing a rubber band, like it's snapping you back to Minnesota."
What are my spirit guides like?
"Your spirit guides are educators, serious, academic advisers. Kind of funny."
And here is just one other thing that she mentioned...
"I keep hearing this thing about a brother. Do you have a brother?" No. "A half brother?" No. "I keep hearing brother."
I just wrote an e-mail to my mom that said, "Do I have a brother that I don't know about?" And my mom replied with, "What?!?!?!?!?!?!? If you do, I don't know about him either. Where did you hear that?" (I'm still waiting to hear a reply from my dad.)
So, that's it folks. I'll comment about all of this tomorrow. There's plenty to say about all of this.

My Visit With (Another) Psychic
So, I was debating whether to post about this here or not, given that I had just talked with a psychic in May, and I didn't want to be seen as "that weird psychic addict". But, for posterity's sake, I thought I might as well write about it.
About three weeks ago, I visited with another psychic. This one came highly recommended from friends, and I actually got to meet with her at her home and talk with her in person (as opposed to the phone consult with the other one). So, I was curious what she had to say.
I have also been doing a great deal of study on psychics and the spiritual realm as of late, and it is a subject of fascination for me. I am drawn to it. I used to be a person who was scared of such things and thought that psychic stuff was the devil's work. I'm not that person anymore. Now, I have come to see them as people doing God's work. Psychics that I've read up on such as Echo Bodine, Sylvia Browne and Doreen Virtue are all Christians who happen to have a very clear connection to God, angels, spirit guides and all the rest. And they use this connection to help, because that's what it's there for.
So, as you may have surmised from my life situation the last couple of months, I have been feeling a little bit "lost" lately. I've been feeling like I could use some guidance, some help, with general things in my life (location, life's purpose, etc). A wise soul by the name of George Harrison once said, "If you are not questioning why you're here on Earth, what is the point of being here at all?"
Let us begin:
The first thing the psychic said when I sat down to talk with her (in what would end up being a 2-1/2 hour conversation) was that she saw education around me. A lot of it.
I'm thinking, okay, that's great. Let's get onto my questions.
Where will we end up living and opening up Vernon's chiropractic practice?
She wasn't really seeing anything, so I asked about Burlington, Vermont. She got VERY excited about that and said, "Yes, that feels like a very good fit. You are so East Coast. So right on. I see a bunch of trees. It feels like a quaint neighborhood. Middle class. You will all feel right at home there."
Will Vernon be a successful chiropractor?
"He's going to be very successful. He's taller, right? A great father, great provider. He's an observer. You're both observers... you both evaluate things to the nth degree and then a little bit longer. Success might not manifest in the way he things it will."
What is my life's purpose?
"There's an element of being lost. A blankness, like your dreams are on hold. That blankness is going to be awhile, but that might be doing the perfect thing for the time being, while you're kids are so young.
"I see you as a teacher.You're bringing kids together. Leading homeschooling groups. You're a compassionate person. Your body needs to be physical. It's important for you to run. That's part of your body's stress reliever. I can't see you strolling. Everything you do is for a purpose. You're a very fortunate woman, a good mother. You're a very good friend. Very stable. Smart. You are brilliant. Extremely smart. You've been born into fortune. Good luck is on your shoulders.
"Your energy, I see it in this order: education, physical fitness, nutrition, God. I see you around children. You could write children's books on nutrition. You're an attentive thinker. You are very creative and your physical-ness is an outlet you don't really use. You are all about serving your family right now.
"You are more structured than you think. Your mind is very, very structured.
"I see you teaching about structure within a non-structured environment.
"You're going to learn a lot from your kids. You are meant to teach. You are good! You have amazing ideas. Amazing ideas around cooking. I see you as being an untraditional teacher. You're teaching untraditionally. You are brilliant.
"Your learning is very structured. You came here to teach. Please share your intelligence so your kids can know how amazing you are. You have many things to share, so share them!
"You came in with a great amount of fortune. You make great decisions. Your husband is motivated by logic."
- THERE IS MORE, BUT THIS IS GETTING LONG, SO IT IS... TO BE CONTINUED -
