This morning I woke up thinking about this blog for the first time since LAST June( a truth the date of my last entry reveals). What is really interesting is that I got out of bed to come make a post about something that happened yesterday and in my Email Inbox was a comment from a reader! It is my first comment in many years!

Thank You Poppy Scott for the new stretch mark ideas! I ended up finding 40,000 iu vitamin E oil! A dear friend’s construction battered hands inspired me to make a healing salve that has worked great on his hands and on all of my non-stretch mark scars. They are pretty well gone and I haven’t even been that great about slathering it on in all honesty.

As I revealed before, I’m definitely not one to pass up an adventure thrill, which has resulted in waaaay more than my fair share of scars : ) It is a relief to have them nearly gone! So I really appreciate your ideas on things for healing my belly too!

So another amazing healing thing I learned recently is that one of Basil’s gifts to us is its ability to heal muscle cramping. A few months ago it happened to be that I was making Pesto and it was a very uncomfortable day. I prefer to not pop Midols willy nilly so that night I was suffering through it : ) but noticed that after dinner I felt better. So I looked up Basil in one of my herb books. It calms muscle cramping.  So ladies when the moon hits the sky like a big pizza pie have yourself some homemade pesto!

As a wheat intolerant Italian food lover I use Tinka Yada brown rice pasta. It is the only one I have found that sufficiently fakes out and blisses out my taste buds : ) Here is my recipe:

Healing Pesto

3 packages of Live Basil or 3 cups of garden Basil
1/4 cup of Pine Nuts
(click http://www.healingpainting.com/?page_id=27) to read about the incredible amazingness of pine nuts)
2 Garlic Cloves (or three if you like it to burn a little : )
1/2 a tsp of incredible salt like Himalayan
and 1/2 cup of Olive Oil

Zoom all the ingredients in your blender, pull off the cover, stick your nose in the pitcher and breathe in deeply! Ahhhhhhhh! Bliss. Luckily my 3 sons do not like pesto so I get to hog it ALL to myself! It is yummy to chop up a little vine ripened tomato and throw that in on top! Enjoy!

Suzanne Burns (Joe Vitale’s Assistant) and I have been friends since we were very little. Every time we talk on the phone she says “oh my God you have to blog about that!” Then I totally forget : ) But she’s right! I DO come across the coolest things! And she swears people would want to know so here I go. I will start with what I was gonna call her about today, but it requires telling a ridciulous story to get you up to speed.

OK, so in the beginning of last summer I was feeling this incredible gratitude for how amazing my life was. I get to paint for a living, I have three healthy, fun sons; I live in a sunny place, in a lovely home. Life was good! A few minutes later while my 5 year old son and I were riding scooters, the front wheel of mine got caught in a gauge in the road and I was thrown over the handle bars! I hurt myself VERY badly. I lost the skin on my right shoulder, right knee, both wrists and parts of both feet.

A month later as I walked into Whole Foods an agave plant gutted my shin for lack of a better visual, a 10 inch long, deep cut, blood EVERYWHERE! Now a year later I still am pretty scarred up.

At a Hop Along dinner party Saturday night that was SO fun! My friend Jessie Dingler (massage therapist extrordinaire) who receives my Clearing Cards complimented me on this week’s card, which is JOY. We started discussing our new deepening exeperience of joy and how joyful our lives have become! I was gushing with gratitude at being so full of joy about nothing in particular! Ut oh…….

I got home at midnight. My 12 year old son rushed up to me very excited about the longboard (skateboard) he had made with a family friend that day! Still in my very pretty dress and now barefoot I said “lets go outside I just wanna try it for 2 seconds…”

I THOUGHT it was flat in front of my house but its NOT. The board was wobbly and not like the ones I am used to and the speed was too much and I went FLYING! I hit my head HARD on the pavement, took even MORE skin off my right shoulder this year and demolished my hand. THE ONE I PAINT WITH. How on earth am I typing right now? MAGIC.

Once we got home and Ethan got my boo boos cleaned up I went to bed and did an immediate healing on my head. Even in shock I knew it was VERY badly hurt, like live or die hospital hurt. So I healed that and the broken bones in my hand, but I was too sleepy to do anything more. 

At 2 am the friend of mine that Ethan had texted before we fell asleep  arrived.  He happened to have with him this AMAZING vitamin E cream he had picked up for me at Sun Harvest! ( Which is what I am going to call Suzi about when I am done this)

This stuff is INCREDIBLE! Its 30,000 iu’s of pure magic! Last year’s scars are going away! So I have great hope for this year’s scars!  It’s from Nature’s Plus which I am sure is Google-able if you want some. He got it at our local healthfood store maybe yours can order some for you. He  said he’s been using it for years on various scars and that his girlfriend was able to get rid of her OLD stretch marks from having FOUR children! That is impressive. We are only on Tuesday and my attack of the killer agave plant scar is half as dark as has been all year!

Ok so that whole story was about the amazing Vitamin E cream in case I was crazy convoluted. And I am NOT selling it which must be refreshing : ) Just passing on the exciting news that after trying EVEYRTHING for scars there truly is something that can make them go away.

WHY oh why do I hurt myself just when things get more amazing than ever before? That is an interesting question. The book Conscious Loving, which I am in a book discussion class type thing for, says something like that we get programmed when we are little for what life should feel like and if it gets better than that originial level we got programmed at we unconsciously make sure it gets wrecked, so we can feel subsconsciously comfortable again.

So having the life of our dreams is a scunch more complicated than we thought : ) We have to clear away beliefs like… “if life gets too amazing I have to wreck it” and “without pain I cannot deal with my karma or learn.” That flavor of beliefs is what makes our self sabatage so successful! So anyway, that is the latest insight and gnarly thing I have cleared this week. Go muscle test yourself for your comfort level with life being amazing! Clear what stands in the way or find yourself someone who can!                    

Much Love, Aimee

Here is that amazing photo of Dr. Len and I after Zero Limits III! 

We aren’t sure what happened here. My best guess is our energy blew it out : ) Energy was so high by the end of the seminar it makes a certain amount of esoteric sense. All I know is this photo is SO cool!

My apologies to everyone for what ever ridiculously difficult energy in my field has made the 2009 calendars such a challenge to produce!

They are THIS close to going in the mail. The art and layout were done in October! A  great printer debacle was sooooooo unexpected. The universe had been spoiling me for months having every little thing go my way, so I could never have conceived of having to switch printers THREE times!

I love love love my new guy! His patience and color correcting skills are positively endless : ) He thought they would finally be printed yesterday but the giant printer machine BROKE! I kid you not.

It has been like THIS! Unreal, I had to laugh. I mean it’s either that or cry, which cannot be ruled out until the last package has fallen into the big blue mailbox : )

Any spare Ho’oponoponos are VERY welcome. Cross your fingers, wish on a star they will go out Monday! 

Much Love and Many Apologies,

Aimee
