The tagging rounds have been alive & active for quite a while & my part is a little overdue, but hey, better late than never.
So for you, one-derful friends who have tagged me quite a few times, here comes the moment/place of truth/joy :)
If you have been tagged with 5 things before & are tagged again - feel free to add 2 more or reveal yourself all over again in 7 NEW ways!
And let me know by email &/or comments below, so that WE can enJoy the mind opening, soul stripping, spirit lightning revelations of y/ours!
In brief here are 7+ rainbow things/aspects/levels about me:
1. Body is struggling & evolving
2. Shadow is dissolving & teaching
3. Humor is alive & enJoying
4. HeART is broken & opening
5. Mind is open & expanding
6. Soul is playful & expressing
7. Spirit is one & unfolding
And here’s the longer version of the good, the bad, the ugly, the colorful, the naked, the visionary, the One & more ☺
1. I Dared to do a split, headstand, lotus & some exciting flying in the last few years. While learning to unself myself, experimented with all types of nutrition and fasting modalities – from omnivore to vegetarian, vegan, fruitarian, all the way to breatharian and integrally around again… Btw I love cherry climbing, very hot pepper tasting & dark chocolate touching. And dancing with dolphins. And aerial experiences on all levels. ☺
2. One of my main insights and revelations was that I can fear success as much as failure and that facing my own shadow and meeting fear/s can be both teaching & healing. And also to be loving to my negatives.
3. One of my favorite jokes beside making funny comparison of religions:
A gorgeous smart woman casually asks her handsome intellectual journey mate: “Dear One, what do you find more attractive in me – my beauty or my intelligence?” To which he responds with a mystical smile: “I Love your sense of humor…”
4. HeART – I enjoyed finding out that the heart is the organ that never gets cancer because …. it is full of oxygen & love. And once fully open & loving, it really creates s/heART
5. I enJoy expanding my horizons with new ideas, visions and experiences. (In the area of cognitive science for instance, my pre-MBA involvement with mathematical linguistics sparked an interest in rare, artificial and symbolic languages). I am yet to fulfill some of my wishes/dreams/choices to learn the following languages – sign language, birds and dolphins' language, language of silence, stillness & telepathy, not necessarily in this sequence, but ideally in this life/body/time. ☺
6. My soul enjoys co-creating a variety of things for the sake of expressing, discovering, inspiring, transcending, transforming and simply being. From simple mandalas, to elegant fractals, from visual haiku to poetic experiences, from inspirational slide shows to inspiring book lists, from Joy ezines to pronoia/Darina laws, from photo collages to travel sacred challenges, from SOULution pod/s to JOY-full ecards, videos, books and experiences yet to be born. I believe in the power of healing, creativity and intuition and our inner and deeper connection with and to it all and even if often tempted to ignore, escape and forget, I stay true.
7. “Joy is our goal, our destiny. We cannot know who we are except in joy. Not knowing joy, we do not know ourselves. When we are centered in joy, we attain our wisdom. A joyful woman, by merely being, says it all. The world is terrified of joyful women. Make a stand. BE ONE ANYWAY." ~ Marianne Williamson ~
So I AM. I am You. We are One.
In Truth. In Love. In Oneness.
Keep smiling & enJoying!
Thank YOU for BEing!
Take Time & Joy!

5 things
July 2008 
Wonderful Pic!!!
Here's my 7 things list!
Love, Dana
~ cool…. i updated mines with ur link ^.^
My Seven !
I love your pix!
It was a bit of a challenge…. but I was able to come up with 7 more things! :)
7 more things from me too. :)
What an incredible unfolding of so many talents, quirks, sense of humor, divinity & more!
Thank You Dave for sending me in the deepest belly giggle fit with your confessions.
And Dana, you lovely Dolphin Godess in training, joining our deserving Nanorimo Winner Karen & our heART opening Spartan Diva & High Priestess Kelly and our Unbelievably Active & Authentic Crazy Princess Jasmine - we can all go veggie feasting and then show Dave that no One is ever LOST in Boulder, zLand or Any real or virtual Island… :)
Cheers for your ingenuity, creativity and honesty my friends! Let's tag it forward!
My fingers got VERY verbose.
Here's the result:
Tagged AGAIN?!?!? I am & You are Tagged ANEW with 7+ -> Surprises
Thank You Christopher for feeling special for you are. And also for being verbose and contemplative, the Lone Independent Spirit Walker that you are. And for maing me revisit the Empowered by Poetry pod and reawaken the Joy of Poetry over and over again. and also for making the longest comment so far after apparently breaking my own hyperlinking record according to MsCaprikell. So much for seed spreading & record breaking… Will not even go there to measure my typing speed or 'tagging' knowledge for I am humbled already and joyfully so… :)
What can I say when I am almost speechless and enchanted at the same time… By you! Yes! You! The way each one of you is daring to express and share yourself, deeply, authentically, soulfully…
I have to share with you several other hidden jewels in the open, so that you can share the joy of discovery with me and these are riet's 7 things and love of life, exotic food, eastern philosophy & more, one of Mimir's amazing forthcoming Vietnam poems, Katherine Estelle’s indescribable soulful sharing and the discovery of another gem in her blog – the Happiness and Joy thoughts which made me weep with joy with her… See/feel why.
I feel so inadequate. Darina, your seven things read like a wonderful novel. I cheated and just updated my five which read like a men's bathroom stall. Oh well…
I appreciate the tag…………………………………………………………….don't do it again! LOL!!!
Wow!!!!!
I Loved it all!!! Thank You always for sharing the beauty and Love….
There must be an easier way to hyperlink…this entry, including the comments are so chock full of them!
I got tagged too! My little bit of hyperlinking took forrrrrrever! Teach Me!!!=)
Hiya Darina - Here are my 7 things. Felt like a stroll down memory lane. Thank you :)
I just wish the photos weren't distorted, oh well, practice practice. ;)
Hey Rod - you keep cracking my mind & belly open to laughter & visions unimagined before… & inspiring the creation of ROD koan in the midst of the Full Moon… No more tagging U! LOA!
And our Beloved Resurrected Ariela is either in birthing labor or enjoying the smile of the new Zaady being born to this world by a joyful water loving non-swimming lovely being…
Nothing to teach you dear one, you know it all, your slides & links delight as they are!
it still takes forver and hopefully the zmasters wll make our lives lighter on that hypernote :)
And so much Joy Searching! And those photos - AMAZING - sheer beauty & delight!
What a blessing in the open your stories are esp. that memorable balloon ride, really!
It reawakens the joy of flying & now I can see why I want to be so full of life & vinegar :)
