black flowers!

 black flowers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  have you seen  a black petunia flower before? this is so cool!  https://www.flickr.com/photos/shannonkringen/  on the black petunia flowers:  "Black flowers are actually deep shades of red or purple, in the case of the Black Velvet petunia. Dark hues are created by crossing varieties with high levels of anthocyanins-the pigments that reveal as red, purple, and blue. Flower breeder Jianping Ren spent four years developing the black petunia."

i am inspired by survivors of things in history where freedoms were taken away

 I want liberation for people policing each other and virtue signaling and cancel culturing each other. there are people who shame each other for living a certain way... I'm not turning a blind eye to all the BS happening in the world by trying to focus on love and creativity and freedom and improvisation. I quite honestly don't feel comfortable trying to fight against the bad system which I will not elaborate on because if I say what I really think I will be censored so I will just say my thoughts are private and secret and I will focus on doing my art and walking in the forest and taking good care of my cat and my family and my friends. I don't have control over what large corporations do that I don't agree with and I'm not really sure how I can fight them anyway. I think some people are good at fighting against corruption and some people when they fight they only intensify the drama of us verses them. . and it gets worse... so when I live my life the way I live my life it doesn't mean that I don't care about all the bad things happening in the world. I just don't feel like there's anything I can directly do to solve it so I focus on what I can do to make the world a better place in my own local community and with my family and my friends and with my relationship to myself. some people think it's selfish to take good care of yourself but the world is not served by me suffering and having a bad relationship with myself. So other people should do whatever works for them but this is what works for me.

two of my favorite artists: Yayoi Kusama from Japan and Hundertwasser from Austria

thank you Vera Sharav warning us of the patterns of history that do repeat.

i am inspired by survivors of things in history where freedoms were taken away. no matter what the external atmosphere is we can use our minds and imagination to survive as much as possible when we have no control over the powers that be bossing us around etc. find joy in beauty anywhere you can and build on that despite whatever awful things are happening. try and fix the issues if you can, and if not, let go and find beauty anywhere you can.

songs that comfort me now by lou reed and tori amos

 songs that comfort me now by lou reed and tori amos

Strawman by Lou Reed: Lyrics
We who have so much to you who have so little
to you who don't have anything at all
We who have so much more than any one man does need
and you who don't have anything at all, ah
Does anybody need another million dollar movie
does anybody need another million dollar star
Does anybody need to be told over and over
spitting in the wind comes back at you twice as hard
Strawman, going straight to the devil
Strawman, going straight to hell
Strawman, going straight to the devil
Strawman
Strawman
Strawman
Strawman, yes
Does anyone really need a billion dollar rocket
does anyone need a 60, 000 dollars car
Does anyone need another president
or the sins of Swaggart parts 6, 7, 8 and 9, ah
Does anyone need yet another politician
caught with his pants down and money sticking in his hole
Does anyone need another racist preacher
spittin' in the wind can only do you harm, ooohhh
Strawman, going straight to the devil
Strawman, going straight to hell
Strawman, going straight to the devil
Strawman
Strawman
Strawman
Strawman
Does anyone need another faulty shuttle
blasting off to the moon, Venus or Mars
Does anybody need another self-righteous rock singer
whose nose he says has led him straight to God
Does anyone need yet another blank skyscraper
if you're like me I'm sure a minor miracle will do
A flaming sword or maybe a gold ark floating up the Hudson
when you spit in the wind it comes right back at you
Strawman, going straight to the devil
Strawman, going straight to hell
Strawman, going to the devil
Strawman, strawman
Strawman, ...., ah
Strawman
Strawman

Censorship gaslighting shaming and virtue signaling is disgusting and I will never cheer that on ever

Thankful I have a few friends that I can have private secret conversations with and say what I really think about everything and they can say what they really think about everything!

Can I just say how uncomfortable it is to censor myself all the time oh my God this is hard!!!!

Let go of the past every single day.   have compassion love empathy and forgiveness for yourself and others... that's my advice from me  to me today.   if anyone's reading this-  do whatever your heart tells you to do.  It's honestly none of my business what you do and it's none of your business what I do!   have a nice day

Had lunch with my mom it was nice to see her whole face again and breathe oxygen with her.  Trying to focus on the positive aspects of our conversation and trying to let go of the things that make me sad and scared in terms of disagreeing with my family members on certain things.  Trying to focus on agreeing to disagree and having love and empathy and compassion for each other.  Trying to respect our body sovereignty rights

The Power of Orange Knickers by Tori Amos comforts me today:  The power of orange knickers
The power of orange knickers
The power of orange knickers
Under my petticoat
The power of listening to what
You don't want me to know
Can somebody tell me now
Who is this terrorist?
Those girls that smile kindly
Then rip your life to pieces
Can somebody tell me now
Am I alone with this?
This little pill in my hand
And with this secret kiss, kiss
Am I alone in this?
A matter of complication
When you become a twist
For their latest drink
As they're transitioning
Can somebody tell me now
Who is this terrorist?
This little pill in my hand
That keeps the pain living
Can somebody tell me now
A way out of this?
That sacred pipe of red stone
Could blow me out of this kiss, kiss
Am I alone in this?
The power of orange knickers
Under my petticoat
The power of listening to what
You don't want me to know
Shame, shame, time to leave me now
Shame, shame, you've had your fun
Shame, shame, for letting me think
That I would be the one
Can somebody tell me now
Who is this terrorist?
This little pill in my hand
Or this secret kiss, kiss
Am I alone in this?
Kiss, kiss
Am I alone in this?
Kiss, kiss

aRt car by Goddess KRING

My inspiration for my aRt car design seems to be those rhinestone cowboy outfits like the dark suits that the singers used to wear with the sparkles embellished on the borders?  Like I think I'm just going to decorate my car like outline it... not cover the entire car in sparkle and then I'm going to take some more black Sharpie markers and do swirly spiral shapes on some of the black paint parts...less is more.... And I also embellish it with glittery opalescent nail polish just on little areas here and there like hard plastic hood part and windshield wipers ...that look good

Why Tom Petty and Tori Amos are my Favorite Songwriters

The Archetypal Symbols I see in Tom Petty & Tori Amos by Goddess Kring. Why Tom Petty and Tori Amos are my Favorite Songwriters

zinc and Quercetin

 

zinc and Quercetin

increasing my zinc and Quercetin consumption.  Meat is an excellent source of zinc.
Red meat is a particularly great source, but ample amounts can be found in all different kinds of meat, including beef, lamb and pork.   Quercetin is contained in abundance in apples, honey, raspberries, onions, red grapes, cherries, citrus fruits, and green leafy vegetables. Among vegetables and fruits, quercetin content is highest in onions. The bulb color and type seems to be a determining factor for quercetin concentration in onions

brainwashing and denial is alive and well in 2021

 brainwashing and denial is alive and well in 2021.  anyone who questions the mainstream is shamed.  i don't fall for this tactic of shutting off my common sense.  good luck all.

Was it Mark Twain that said "it's easier to fool people than to convince people that they've been fooled?"

GoddessKRING 05 06 21 identity and self confidence, trauma

biodiversity and regenerative agriculture

 respect for nature instead of trying to control and conquer it.   things i admire and believe in:  biodiversity and regenerative agriculture.  you get "social credit" points for obeying orders.  it's creepy creepy stuff.  i don't do things unless i believe in them.  no thanks on some of the 'orders' being given right now.

thank you truth seeking journalists who have the guts to speak up

 thank you truth seeking journalists who have the guts to speak up

Speak up! just listened to a podcast of 2 brave journalists speaking up about the some dishonesty happening in the world. These days anybody who has the audacity to question the conventional narrative is basically attacked, ostracized and made fun of...belittled and gaslighted and abused and I think it's important to continue speaking out. if anybody reading this wants a link to the video podcast that I just watched let me know. I'm not going to post it here because some social media sites heavily "shames" that kind of information... Just send me your email in a private message and I will send it to you that way. Good luck everyone and stay true to yourself. Don't be afraid to use your own wisdom and brain. Don't allow yourself to be peer pressured into things you don't believe in.

The most amazing thing about the two journalists that I just listened to who are on the same page basically= one of them is a female feminist journalist and one is a more pragmatic conservative male journalist and yet they both agree on many things happening in the world and what is ethical and what is not ethical. one is from England and one was from the United states... so it was interesting to see their ideas overlap. They Are now allies and yet before they had more opposing views. The world is changing rapidly. beyond duality.

overall health and the whole "reset"

 overall health and the whole "reset"

some very wealthy humans think they can outsmart and control nature.  i think they are WRONG.  the wisdom in nature cannot be outsmarted.

i see the world in a  Wholistic way.  food, medicine, economy, personal expression,  inner outer life etc.  it's all connected and not separate.  just like your whole body is one whole system that works together.  each part effects the other.  i see things getting separated now in a way that does not promote "health"  of body and mind and heart and soul.  this aint some hippy idea this is a solid concept and the smartest people  in the world understand what i mean even if my way of stating this is primimtive sounding.  it's wisdom.  i agree with vandana shiva from india look her up.

Vandana Shiva (born 5 November 1952) is an Indian scholar, environmental activist, food sovereignty advocate, ecofeminist and anti-globalization author. Based in Delhi, Shiva has written more than 20 books. She is often referred as "Gandhi of grain" for her activism associated with anti-GMO movement

the real ecosystem is what i want entact. not genetically modified synthetic ways of 'creating life' REGENERATE THE SOIL NOT MANIPULATE THE SOIL WITH SYNTHETIC PRODUCTS.  this is happening in medicine, the economy and the food system right now. a transformation that is getting creepy

Funny again that mostly we agree that stereotyping people is bad but there's a certain group of people that people seem to think it's cool and hip to stereotype in a derogatory belittling way.... it's disgusting and abusive and it's basically gaslighting... I'm so angry I probably shouldn't even post this here so I might delete this soon

So much manipulative language all over the internet regarding a certain topic!!!!   I might erase this post it's disgusting to me the repetitive manipulative language I'm seeing over and over and over trying to bombard a certain idea into my head that I think is bull effing manure !!!  thanks social media medical marketing medical military medical Mafia medical Mafia medical Mafia medical military medical military medical military medical Mafia I guess I should be writing a poem about all of this!!!  Would you like a side of Roundup with that?????

my interest is in real health not chemically altered and manipulated 'products' in medicine and food.  i want to stay a human being close to the whole ecosystem barefoot on this earth.

on "scagegoating" others and thinkg you are "the good ones"

 on "scagegoating" others and thinkg you are "the good ones"

 on someone freaking out about Jane Fonda in the Vietnam days visiting the supposed enemy- you should hear Jane Fonda talk about it. she is a very smart person who cares about humanity and has a lot of love and compassion and empathy. to demonize people is not good. the Vietnam war was a hideous tragedy. she was trying to shine light on the reality of demonizing people and how wrong that is. you should listen to what Jane Fonda says. she once met with USA veterans and they all huddled in a circle and cried about Vietnam and they all shared what they thought because these Vietnam veterans were mad at Jane Fonda and she told them why she did what she did and then they forgave her and they all had empathy and compassion for each other.... you should listen to Jane talk about this. I think she mentions this story in her memoir... she is a good person trying to help the world. she's not a jerk like you think. I feel like you're misunderstanding her completely! also people who harshly judge her are using her as a scapegoat and they're not willing to look at the hypocrisy in the world- everyone has a shadow! In fact Vietnam was a very long time ago but Jane Fonda's ideas on seeing the humanity in different groups of people is a helpful thing to learn and have perspective on what it's like to be a different kind of person from you right now people are stereotyping and demonizing each other and it's causing a lot of fear and conflict and anger and problems and the answer is not to keep demonizing us versus them if somebody is arrogant and thinks they're always the good guy that can be very dangerous as we've seen throughout history and right now things are happening in the world that I think are repeat of this pattern of the arrogance of thinking that one group of people are the right people and everyone else is wrong that is very dangerous and actually brings war and conflict and harm to humanity. so we can reflect on this and learn from it even now in the year 2021.

hundertwasser thank you for your aRt

 my favorite artist and philosopher #Hundertwasser from Austria.
https://gardencollage.com/wander/gardens-parks/hundertwasser/

my favorite artist "hundertwasser" from austria was also a philosopher.  some of his ideas about nature and humans being part of nature- his ideas are even more relevant today now that humans are genetically modifying and doing weird things tinkering with nature and with human beings!   "There Are No Evils in Nature.
There Are Only Evils of Man.
When man thinks he has to correct nature, it is an irreparable mistake every time.
A community should not consider it an honour how much spontaneous vegetation it destroys; it should rather be a point of honour for every community to protect as much of its natural landscape as possible.
The brook, the river, the swamp, the riverside wetlands as they are, the way God created them, must be sacred and inviolable to us.
Correcting a stream only has evil effects, which are expensive in the end: the lowering of water tables, the destruction of forests, the transformation of large areas into steppes, no regeneration of the water, which runs off too fast. The river wetlands can no longer fulfill their sponge-like function: the absorption of excess water and slow feedback in dry spells, like a good piggy bank in times of emergency.
The regulated brook becomes a sewer. Fish die, and there are no fish in the brook because they cannot swim through the regulated channel. Floods, with all their devastating consequences, all the more after regulation. Because too much water runs off too quickly, converging in great quantity without any chance of being absorbed by the earth and the vegetation.
Only a stream with a high waterline flowing irregularly can produce pure water, regulate the water household and conserve the fish and animal populations to the benefit of man and his agriculture.
Now, almost too late, this age-old adage is being recognised and the courses of rivers and streams, which had been straightened in concrete channels, are being destroyed in order to restore the previous irregular state. What irony!
So why regulate a stream if you have to deregulate it afterwards?"
Hundertwasser, May, 1990

recent life mix

 recent life mix

I feel belittled and disrespected by somebody and I think I need to not interact with this person anymore... our relationship started off with him trying to help me deal with bullies online... and he thinks he can teach me etc and this is taken me farther and farther away from my own self-respect and self-esteem and self-assurance and self-confidence and me trying to figure out what's best for me.  I can see why I fell into the relationship with him because it's been so hard for me to find people to try to be close to... And I was neglected by my parents as a kid and so I had some weird patterns... and I think I am a complicated person and not easy to get along with....I go along with things and I over accommodate with another person and then I get angry and explode and then they blame me for my anger but part of the anger is because of something they did previously that's not fair to me... it's complicated and it's really not healthy.  I want to detoxify from this relationship and try to figure out how to love myself and treat myself with respect... I want to treat him with respect as well but unless he will acknowledge that my feelings have value equal to his and my point of view has merit...I don't even know what kind of friendship I can have with this person... but I need to grow up on my end and be the best me that I can be and then see how he responds and if he doesn't respect my intelligence then I can't really interact with him anymore and I'm not perfect and I take full responsibility for my part of the relationship that isn't healthy but I'm not going to let him put it all on me... he did his part as well it's not just me.  I see my dark side I don't know if he sees his dark side.   he seems to think he doesn't have a dark side.   he doesn't really look at himself he even told me that I talk about myself all the time but he doesn't even like to talk about himself...that's kind of a pattern...this is something that I'm going to talk to my therapist about the next time I interact with therapy...

Cuz remember guys the science is settled we all know that scientists come up with a theory and they stick with it forever and they never change their minds because we never learn anything new that's the way it's always been right yeah that sounds really accurate and ethical doesn't it common sense total Common sense oh yeah total wisdom

don't let anyone who's abusing their power get you down just keep doing what you love do what you love do what you love do what you love no matter what just keep doing what you love

artists who inspire and or influence me:  (VISUAL, MUSICAL, MULTI MEDIA WHATEVER MIXED) music and art mixed:   Yayoi Kusama,  Hundertwasser, Laurie Anderson, Imogen Heap, Bjork, Tori Amos, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan,  Beck,  Georgia O'Keeffe, Frida Kahlo, Meredith Monk, Vincent van Gogh, Gustav Klimt, Francis Bacon, Australian Aboriginal Artists, Cindy Sherman, Jenny Saville, Edie Brickell, Patti Smith,

Alanis Morissette, Rafe Pearlman,  Joni Mitchell, Frank Zappa, George Carlin, Christopher Walken, Captain Beefheart, Martha Graham, Jeff Beck, Mick Jagger (as a performer)  Temple Grandin (PHD autistic human who is brillliant) and one of the best books:  "The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path To Higher Creativity is a self-help book by American author Julia Cameron", Heather Nova...Russell Brand comedian philosopher...completely resonate with his mind...    will add more soon!  so many amazing people.

someone just asked about my art training.  i was trained in graphic design and by my mother who is also a self taught artist but she went to san diego state and i went to Seattle central community college and  took their two year graphic design program along with painting and drawing.  i am trained in art and have been since i was 6 years old.  (i was also taught a lot about music and comedy by my dad who does both in his own way)   Hundertwasser is my biggest inspiration.  i have taken many art and design classes AND HAVE MY OWN STYLE.  always have.  have never wanted to do traditional art.  took art history and it was fascinating.  i guess i will now refresh my memory of who my favorite artists are.  Laurie Anderson resonates with me.  she is multi media.  Hundertwasser also is at  the top.    i finished my BA degree at Antioch University Seattle in 2013.  i was trained in color and composition and my abstract paintings AND photographs follow the golden proportion balance rule in design.  it's intuitive and my inspiration is NATURE.  the shapes and patterns i see in nature.  plants, tree bark, leaves,  geography that you see from airplanes looking down on the earth.  i am upset about the lack of education people have on good design and color and composition whether art is "realism" or abstract DESIGN and composition PRINCIPLES APPLY.    Bio:
Multi Media Artist Shannon Kringen grew up in San Diego California and Whidbey Island Washington.

Artist Statement:
I work with cameras and paint improvisationally. I am very kinesthetic and use my whole body when I create.
In my photography,  I  fall in love with shape, texture and light while out wandering. I like to capture what is naturally there but in a way that abstracts it and allows the viewer to notice something new and different about ordinary physical reality. I carefully compose all my photos spontaneously as I am shooting moving the camera angle until I see what looks like a balanced, dynamic composition.
In my painting, I allow my hands to move intuitively on the canvas creating shapes and textures that feel right. I repeat patterns and choose colors from somewhere beyond my thinking mind. I am very inspired by the repeating patterns I see in nature. Plants and animals move me a great deal.
I am taping into my unconscious and go into a dream like state when I create art.

Thinking of trying to start an online support group secret and private free speech allowed!  with like-minded people who question the status quo so to speak and have a different way of staying healthy... A place where people are allowed to say what they really think without getting shut down or gaslit or shamed  etc to be supported and encouraged to use common sense and wisdom would be luxurious!

saw a woodpecker today in my forest walk:  The woodpecker's home within the tree is analogous of a fierce determination to return and protect that which is sacred to us. When this bird comes pecking, it is a call for us to return to our roots, back to the womb of our ideas and use our intellect and discernment to follow through with our plans.

had a long walk in the rainy forest and saw a red headed wood pecker and it symbolizes this "In General, the Red-headed Woodpecker is symbolic that you are illuminating the world. ... The woodpecker meaning encourages you to strike a balance between being kind and being cautious. It symbolizes the need to understand different rhythms, patterns, and cycles, and to do your best to adapt to them and flourish"  https://youtu.be/kuuT6BxhQwo

so different love it!  Tom Petty - You Saw Me Comin' (Alternate Version) [Official Music Video]  LOVE THE COMBINATION of  tom's vocals with guitar and piano on this song.  different than most of their other music!!!!!  “You Saw Me Comin’,” a previously unreleased song and recording from 1992 and the final track on the collection, is premiering alongside a video directed by Joel Kazuo Knoernschild and Katie Malia. Reflecting upon recording “You Saw Me Comin’” for Wildflowers, Benmont Tench notes, “There’s this kind of longing in the song, in the way that he wrote the chord structure, the melody and the lyrics. It’s wistful, and it would have been the perfect way to end the disc.”  https://youtu.be/uiLVP1tJMVs

I know that I shouldn't need anybody to understand my art but I'm actually trained in design and color and composition and  graphic design and I think some people think my abstract art is just primitive and not well done but I know that my abstract art is well done but I feel frustrated like I'm not finding where it's appreciated I guess I need to figure it out I need to just know that I think I do good work and if other people don't get it I need to just accept that and focus on the people that are fans of my work actually and build on that.  I was just in an art therapy group online and I held up my art and I sort of like had a lack of confidence with it and people don't really seem to get my work but some people do... It's just a very uncomfortable feeling...

get some white shoes and shaprie markers and color your shoes!  that is what i did on these.  http://www.shannonkringen.com/kringwear.htm  you can also hire me to paint your shoes.  have fun

parallels with Allegory of the cave and logans run and current "reality"

Mood totally shifted in a more positive direction because I got to model for an art class today in person and then I got to go straight to a second job working with medical students and I got to play a role for 12 different students playing the same role twelve different times... it's so fascinating to act out a patient's issue with different students because each student had a totally different style and they all have the same objective of helping me as a medical patient but it felt different with each person.   I'm fascinated by improvisational acting... that is basically what it is but it's in the role of helping train medical students... it's fascinating work I really missed it and I feel and I had a great conversation with the proctor who is an actual doctor observing the students and grading them and we had a fascinating conversation about so many different things... very cool I miss talking to such interesting people that are in The healing arts of medicine...reminds me that I need to find stimulating conversation with different kinds of people I was kind of stuck in a rut and man I look talking to certain different kinds of people very stimulating although now I feel like I need to rest and recharge

Not only do I hug trees Barefoot I kiss trees

my dad took me to see George Carlin the comedian when I was a teenager and it was effing awesome and great I was too young to fully understand the cynical humor and now I get it big time it's more relevant than ever now with the amount of corruption we have going on right now it's big time relevant The comedy of George Carlin is big big big time relevant to right now and that helps me feel less angry to listen to his humor

The entire Tori Amos album native invader is really helping me right now

I'm pretty sure that Frank Zappa and George Carlin would agree with a lot of my thoughts right now that I'm not even allowed to mention here

The way people belittle people who question the status quo and make fun of them and talk about absurd things that are ridiculous just to discredit anyone who challenges the status quo those people are very abusive and I don't want them in my life.  that is a form of gas lighting which is rampant these days and I don't like it it's not okay with me I feel like I need to protect myself from those kinds of people I feel like I'm back in high school and people are a threat to me but I guess that's what they want us to think they want us to think that we're all the threat to each other and we need to protect ourselves from each other so that the wealthy elite powerful people who run things can do whatever the heck they want and we are subservient to them and yet we're supposed to feel protected by them but really we're just subservient to them

Making a full-time living online is my long-term goal.  certain things I'm required to do out in society now is really just not doable for me so I need to find a way to carve a life where I can mostly be a natural free human being and that's working from home and then walking in the forest by myself or with anyone who feels safe enough to actually radically walk in the forest with me and breathe the air in the forest imagine that?

Everyone is responsible for their own life so take care of yourself nobody can really help anyone else we're all in this alone separate and solo that's more clear to me now than ever before.

Going to sunbathe today and walk Barefoot in the forest. ..and then I have an art modeling job and then a medical modeling job back-to-back and some of the protocols I find questionable but I will follow the rules because that's what I'm required to do whether I think it's healthy or not.

A very famous person that I admire that's fighting for ethics in medicine has been censored and erased from certain social media platforms and I find this very psychologically disturbing.   I better not say anymore... certain stories are allowed to be spoken and then other things are accused of not being accurate when really the flip might be true but I won't say anything specific cuz I'm not allowed to say that here have a nice day rainbow Sunshine unicorn fluffy fluffy fluff

when entire groups of people are labeled as bad and ostracized you know that we're in trouble and that is starting to happen

No one wants to believe that humans are capable of such intense betrayal on a massive scale.   throughout history humans have done atrocities to each other and when it's happening people are in denial and nobody wants to think that there's something really bad happening when it's actually happening... there's patterns that repeat in history....so now I'm just going to go nighty night and have some sleep and dreams and then get up tomorrow and do what I can that's helpful

yeah I guess I'm so angry I want to sabotage every friendship I have and I want to push everyone away I'm angry at myself and I'm angry with the entire world so I guess I better go to sleep now good night


And I'm sorry to all the people who don't like me out there that think I only care about myself I have to take care of myself nobody else is taking care of me I have to take care of myself I don't really have much of a family other than my mom and dad and they're both busy and preoccupied with their own lives and it's always been that way I do feel like an orphan I've always taken care of myself and that's all I have is myself really I've never learned how to bond with other people very well but that's my own fault so I have to focus on how to figure out how to take care of myself because I really can't stand some of my issues much longer I'm getting really tired and I wish I could just fast forward and be 95 years old so I can just not have to stay on this Earth forever

and remember book burning is good right yeah we need to burn any book that's controversial we need to erase anyone that says anything that's not with the pr campaign sponsored by large corporations

Amazing how powerful and effective the marketing PR campaign has been


We seem to think that other people have the answers for us and I'm back to square one I know what's best for me nobody else doe

I think I really am autistic because honestly when I'm upset and I reach out to others  I feel worse when I talk to other people!   I feel best if I just take a brisk walk and just listen to my own inner wisdom... the answer is within me.

Took my two brisk walks today much better at night so I dont see anyone and have to deal with what makes me angry that I won't explain here !  Goodnight Irene

Edit took a brisk walk that did more good for me than talking to anybody ever could.   I think I'm going to quit therapy because it's not helping me.   I'm probably using it to make me worse because I'm so angry... I'm really good at using things to be self-destructive with to be honest with you.   I did call my dad and he listened to me non-judgmentally and I'm grateful for that but I do my best work by myself I'm kind of like Dorothy in The wizard of Oz... like the power is within me giving my power away to other people never helps me ever.

I can see why people use denial to cope ...easier to be asleep but I cannot do that -


one walk done second walk soon

People who gaslight me need to get the effff out of my life!  and I need to stand up to them and kick them out... cut them off... erase them from my life!   boundaries!  I'm really angry right now I have a habit of being overly polite and accommodating and then I realize that I'm pissed later it's not good but I'm responsible for that

Just washed my little tiny smart car I think it's been a year since I've done that

so the USA  can't afford to raise the minimum wage but the millionaires and billionaires and trillionaires that are the bosses of most Americans get richer and richer and richer and richer and richer and richer and richer and richer and yet we cannot afford the raise the  standard of living for the average American!?  that is a lie a lie a lie a lie a big fat fat stinky farty lie.

I keep asking myself what do you enjoy what do you want to do and lately the answer has been i don't know...

Today I give myself permission to just not really know what I want or who I am I'm just drifting and I'm grateful that tonight I get to do a training on webcam with some other people for an important job that I have Wednesday and Saturday

my whole life i have felt "left out" excluded etc and like i don't belong with others.  i knew this but i can feel it more strongly now than ever before.  finding my "tribe" is not feeling possible but i dont really try maybe? I like my space I mostly like to be alone so I've always felt conflicted like part of me Longs for connection and part of me just wants to be alone most of the time how much of this is because I'm wounded and how much of this is because I'm an introvert and I like my solitude and I might even be autistic who knows I'm so tired of not knowing so I don't care that I don't know today it's okay to just not know and I'm just breathing and eating and sleeping I'm just alive!  time for a walk in nature.  good luck everyone.  i like my solitude and i'd rather be honest and solo than with others having to "conform" to things that i don't believe in doing.  finding people i feel like i can be myself with and they can be themselves around me would be even better- but i have not found that so far in life.

wow very challenging awareness expanding.

why i eat beef organ meats:  They are particularly rich in B-vitamins, such as vitamin B12 and folate. They are also rich in minerals, including iron, magnesium, selenium and zinc, and important fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E and K. Furthermore, organ meats are an excellent protein source

juice of life! heart melting times

 juice of life!  heart melting times

had a very heart melting therapy session- many blessings to my therapist!  he is very gifted.

talked about my cacophony of emotions and the "symphony" in my head surrounding my personal issues with family/friends how i connect with others and how i connect with myself- the paradox of "shannon takes 100's of self portraits and must be 'self centered' in a shameful way"  and yet shannon is lost in the forest of trees.  if each person is a tree and we are all in the forest together can we see each unique person as having value and being distinct from the others and not just there to serve others.  we are all here together forming patterns of energy with each other...i felt dominated by my parents points of view as a kid and like my job was to make sure they were ok so i could be ok.  i seemed to have suppressed my true nature and full expression i wanted to share with the world...my artwork seems to be here to help me EXPRESS outward what would remain hidden- makes perfect sense why the songs "silent all these years" by tori amos and "refugee" by tom petty and the heartbreakers would be my two favorite songs that resonate and help me ease the pain i have around my issues.

and yesterday i met with a lady in person who i had known online for a couple years.   we both danced many years ago at "the lusty lady" in seattle.  she's an artist and has done stand up comedy- a very dynamic interesting human being!  i was happy to connect with her in person...we shared a hug after hanging out for 5 hours talking and sharing food...very grateful.  would love to have more close female friends to connect with...

personal POWER.  love this new song by edie brickell and new bohemians:  my power https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAO9u7PstUs

inspired by this:  "Microorganisms digest organic matter, and in the process they provide nutrients to plants, and improve the structure of the soil. ... When this is done properly, plants grow well and soil is improved. There is no question that microbes are important to the gardener, the plants and the soil"

Thinking of trying to find a new way of being maybe work on a regenerative agriculture farm!  And when I say farm I mean both animals and plants

Yay my dad's flying to Seattle to visit me in April I'm excited haven't seen him in over two years!

Inspired to talk about the personality of artists on my next free range goddess kring public radio show a lot of artists share really beautiful music and lyrics and melodies and yet their personalities might be kind of macho or Moody and not really very nice or friendly and they might cause a lot of weird drama in their personal life and yet their contribution to humanity mostly comes through in a beautiful way through their music watching the Gordon Lightfoot documentary made me realize and reminded me of this because he had a drinking problem and he's a pretty moody guy and had a lot of relationships that didn't work out and he admitted he caused trauma to some of the people in his life and his past and he feels guilty and bad about it and yet his music is great and that was his main contribution even when his personal life wasn't going well now he seems a lot happier as an older person and he's still doing his music and he sleeps much more kind and peaceful and healthy mentally and physically very interesting and a lot of the artists that I admire I've heard different things about their personalities like their persona that they share with the audience versus their real personalities to people who know them and it's interesting sometimes it matches and sometimes it's different it kind of fascinates me the psychology of different people

just watch the documentary about Gordon Lightfoot very interesting because my whole childhood was filled with Gordon Lightfoot music because my dad was really obsessed with Bob Dylan and Gordon Lightfoot Simon and Garfunkel and all kinds of other folk music also loved Elvis and Frank Sinatra Peter Paul and Mary the doors and Joan Baez etc and lots of rock and roll in the Rolling stones and all kinds of great music one of the memories I have is riding on the back of my dad's bicycle with him to pizza hut and Pacific beach San Diego and there was a jukebox in there and he would play the song by Gordon Lightfoot called too late for praying and he would play Everly Brothers music and then I think there was quarters in little TVs and we would watch Archie bunker on little TVs and the pizza hut what an interesting random memory that just popped into my head when my dad mentioned it and I saw the Gordon Lightfoot documentary my dad is sad that in that documentary they don't even mention the song by Gordon called too late for praying one of my dad's favorite songs and he thinks he's very underrated but not a hit for Gordon great song though a lot of Gordon Lightfoot songs are brilliant actually

had a really good creative writing session today with my friends...I'm  really grateful and I found an amazing parking spot right across the street which usually doesn't happen for free and I shared a bunch of groceries with them and then put the rest in the lobby where there's a free box so that felt really good and I just went for a nice walk

favorite singers-  tori amos, tom petty and edie brickell.  this could change in my lifetime but so now it's SOLID

would love to hear tori amos cover tom pettys song "good to be king"  that would be unique.  both  tom petty and tori amos sing the word "girl"  in a beautiful emphasized way...they bend  the word girrrrrlllll in a magical vocal style as you know those two are my favorite vocalists (along with edie brickell who also does great unqiue things bending her voice- i listen VERY CAREFULLY to music and hear tiny nuaces)

beautiful solo version of tom petty's "yer so bad"  quite beautifully done! serious and funny at the same time.  love the way he uses his voice SO MUCH.    https://www.instagram.com/p/CLaevP7H0zc/

what i love

 I believe in regenerative agriculture (look up white oak pastures in Georgia they are amazing)  I believe in ethics I believe in free speech I believe in debating science and medicine and health and nutrition I believe in exercising every day out in nature I believe in breathing fresh air in the forest I believe in feeding my cat raw  meat diet I believe in eating real food like meat and nuts and fruits and vegetables raw fermented food with beneficial bacteria that's good for the mental health because the health of your gut biome directly affects your neurotransmitters in your brain they are discovering and your immune system stays in balance usually when you can get your gut bacteria healthy through proper nutrition I believe in taking vitamin C vitamin d3 and zinc I believe in taking responsibility for my health and nutrition I believe doctors in med school should be taught way way way more about nutrition and it's effect on the immune system and the health I believe in getting a lot of sleep I believe in drinking untreated water that has no chemicals added to it that's the kind I get in Seattle I Believe In The free thinking intuitive  kind of people I believe in making art I love music and art and theater and dance I love artists like Laurie Anderson the multimedia artist....who points out that there's people that act  like the art police who think that artists have to just stick to one medium but if you're a multimedia person you need to just have the freedom to explore and mix and match as you want all art is  connected visual performing music theater dance painting photography audio art all of it that's how I think I also love the artist Hundertwasser... He was a philosopher and a visual artist inspired by Nature I am also inspired by Nature my abstract non-representational paintings and drawings all look like maps to me looking at the land from an airplane for some reason I've always been really inspired by the shapes I see in plants and the land and the geography and the microcosm and the macrocosm

 snow days seattle 2021.  http://www.shannonkringen.com/

Happy Valentine's Day everybody whether single or with somebody always good to focus on love love for yourself love for others love for nature love for your pets love for anything that you love music art I love nature plants animals music art freedom unique thoughts love love

Still snowing right now supposed to start melting in the afternoon so I might take a few more videos and photos but mostly I'm going to stay home today and upload all the cool photos that I've taken to a whole bunch of my websites two of them subscription only sites that help me earn money and then a bunch of free websites

promise to self that today Sunday I will spend the day editing and uploading photos to all my many different websites including two of my members only website that helps me earn money and then all my free websites where I share my art cuz man I've taken some really beautiful photos and I want to honor that talent that I have and focus on that cuz I keep doing so many other things and then I'm tired at the end of the day and my eyes are just too tired to upload photos to a bunch of different websites so I got to start fresh tomorrow and do that and I want to finish painting those shoes as soon as I can but I don't want to rush through that either!

I just walked around in the snow shine forest for two hours and took all kinds of cool photos and videos lots of people cross country skiing!  Cute dogs walking around with their people got some good shots of people's dark silhouettes from far away in the forest on a windy trail very cool and some videos people and their dogs look so pretty walking by I love silhouettes of random strangers

Feel sad for anyone that's having a bad time in the snow somebody I know lost their power for 8 hours and a few other people I know are irritated and unhappy about the weather but man I really enjoy the snow it's like a great photo opportunity and it's nice to see people playing in building snowman and igloos and people sledding and skiing etc and I took some really beautiful photos and videos so I'm grateful for that but sorry to anyone who's having a bad time in this weather and I know that in Seattle there's a 24-hour homeless shelter right now at Seattle center so I'm glad that the homeless people are hopefully staying warm the ones that are going there at least...

random words by shannon kringen

 to the car nerds=  toyota or honda?  (i was looking at a used scion made by toyota- scotty kilmer the mechanic says scions have engines and tranmissions as good as a toyota camry)

Took a nice brisk walk in the super cold 35° weather Fahrenheit going to take another walk later today the snow is getting a bit thicker now but it's not sticking yet

So far I'm seeing little teeny teeny teeny teeny tiny snowflakes but it's not sticking but we might get a bunch of snow from now until Sunday

when you walk briskly and not only invigorates your heart and lungs it stimulates your immune system and gets the lymph moving in your body which is good for your immune system overall also it's just good for your mental health I feel so much better after I walk mentally like cleans my brain out

Spending time outside in nature every single day is good for my mental and physical health getting natural light and being exposed to the microbes out in the forest feels great

Beef and quiche to break my fast - I got the roast from a local farm full of good vitamins and minerals and healthy fats and protein and the quiche I got free at the food bank and I just throw the crust away since I don't eat wheat and I just eat the filling)

The real glass light bulb that I like a plant grow light these are hard to find I love them

Focus on Love and being in nature...as a human I am part of the ecosystem

Mental and physical health is strongly connected eating healthy and getting fresh exercise everyday out in the fresh air and getting Sunshine is so good for your mental and physical health and doing things that you love!

Did some sunbathing this morning and went to a food bank and had some other food delivered to me got another gift card for a grocery store from a food bank which is amazing walked in the forest with a friend of mine had a pretty good day

hoping it does snow a lot in Seattle this weekend I want to take cool pictures in the snow so far nothing but it is pretty chilly

Honestly I feel manipulated like they want us to think that certain politicians are heroes and certain politicians are villains when really it's all pretty screwy and there's bits and pieces of good and bad in everyone!  Famous politicians and ordinary citizens alike

I found two incandescent old-fashioned style plant grow lights they're really hard to find they mostly just have the LED kind now days which are awful so I have a small collection of old fashioned incandescent plant grow greenhouse lights that I use for my main lamps for my plants and for me and when I model that mimic the Sun

I'm suddenly feeling a lot more compassion for people especially those that I disagree with on many topics...so that's a good feeling in my heart

Just got beef venison lamb and rabbit for my cat raw frozen and freeze dried mix

We might have a snore storm coming our way in Seattle from like tonight through Sunday but who knows so I'm running errands to prepare for that just in case it's kind of fun to get snowed in and I can run around and take cool photos in the snow

Listening to an inspiring podcast about how we can take charge of our personal power and not get sucked into drama and arguing with anybody about what's upsetting us and taking what is unique and creative about yourself and instead of following the herd and conforming to society doing what you really care about and what you love and being your authentic self this totally is right up my alley this is what drives me in life is the desire to just be my real self and not be a victim of conforming and following the herd but yeah learning how to cooperate with other people but emphasizing being authentic and doing things that I love and want to do that bring me joy and excitement and make life worth living etc taking responsibility for both my talent and my dark side my flaws and my beauty both and trying to not be a hypocrite or at least acknowledging when I am a hypocrite and then moving forward and just doing whatever I can do to contribute to the world in a positive way with my unique talent!

Take charge of your personal power and take anything you're angry about and challenge into something productive

recent life joy by shannon kringen

 recent life joy by shannon kringen

just participated in a free art therapy group that was fun it was a small group and we have a art project for next week that we're just going to share with each other...and we did a creative visualization where we imagine our favorite setting where we feel comforted and I went to the ocean in San Diego la Jolla cove and I could smell the eucalyptus trees and hear the ocean and it was really pleasant and I walked Barefoot on the beach in my imagination very comforting what comforts you share with me if you want.

controversial kringen quote of the day "im not a fan of censorship and virtue signaling or cancel culture. those ways of treating others do not end toxic BS in society."

sending Love to all...

I LOVE SINGING along with this Hello In There Covered by Joan Baez written by the magical John Prine...i have seen them both live in concert and im so thankful to all the great songwriters in the world.  i remember my dad had the Joan Baez record and when i was 13  i listened over and over and memorized and sang along to the songs on "diamonds and rust"

Another great music doc involving Tom Petty who widens my jetty!!!! "echo the canyon"  I've seen that four times I love that movie Jakob Dylan is such a cool guy I got to see Jakob Dylan play Tom Petty's The waiting live in person in Seattle at a small movie theater when I went to an  in person screening of echo in the canyon it was an amazing experience

Good morning the sun is shining yay I had such a good day yesterday with my friend who lives 60 miles from Seattle it was fun to take a road trip and visit him yesterday...

I guess it took me 52 years to figure out how to be friends with people I now realize that I do have some really nice friends in my life and I'm so grateful for every one of them.

If you at all like the sound of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers music you should all see the movie called "Running down a dream" it's a 4-Hour documentary directed by Peter Bogdanovich.  Came out in 2006... I own a copy.   I've seen it about five or six times so far it's just such a beautiful movie and it's four hours long and worth spending time watching very inspirational!

Had a great walk in the woods with my friend and don't worry it wasn't crowded and we were all far away from each other and everyone we crossed paths with gave us all space away from each other.  breathing oxygen in the forest is good for your health and there's lots of good healthy microbes in the air and the soil and the trees etc the whole ecosystem is not sterile and it's teaming with microorganisms most of which are good for your health for those concerned

Had a really fun day hanging out with a friend!  we finished watching the second half of the 4-Hour Tom Petty documentary that we watched the first half of a few months ago and we hiked in the woods and we went to a couple grocery stores and we had a nice meal and listened to music etc really really fun day

new Goddess Kring video on my youtube channel for those who follow me.  i am "shannon kringen" there.  thanks.

Personally I think we're all a mix of Darth Vader Luke Skywalker and Yoda and who knows what else multifaceted human beings!  I wish more people were awake to this... a lot of people think it's shameful to admit your faults and also people think it's shameful to brag about what's wonderful about yourself I think we're all a mix of wonderful and horrible traits probably and maybe we should all just be honest about it if we feel like it and try to have more empathy and compassion for each other especially when they're different from us instead of judging each other in shaming each other blah blah blah good luck everyone

Great news on mattress firm!  My complaints were effective... I wrote them on Twitter posted a bad review on Yelp called them on the phone and made a YouTube video about it!   they're giving me an exchange... they're going to pick up my old mattress that had some mold on it and I got an even better mattress in exchange for it no extra charge... that I prefer better instead of a foam mattress I got an old-fashioned Style spring mattress or whatever it's called... I love it... I tried it at the store and it's much better than the other one... I don't like foam mattresses they kind of feel weird like mushy marshmallow plastic and they smell weird... I prefer the more springy mattresses that are kind of medium firmness...yay I'm excited and I just got a fancy new 100% cotton sheet set on sale and a special waterproof cover to protect my new mattress just like I have to protect my old mattress which I've kept so if I ever have a house guest they can sleep on my old mattress in my living room..  I'm very grateful so now I'm going to go online and spread the word that mattress firm is a good company and if you have trouble with them they will help you out

Feeling as angry as sid vicious today! "We're so pretty, oh so pretty". Guess I should listen to angry Lou Reed music after modeling thinking his new York album -

Virtuous to give science  your body to experiment with ha!   not!  I release people who do to their highest good

If anyone I know and love has an allergic reaction to the "treatment" oh well I have to live with the stress of that and not expect any compassion from those who blindly trust such chemicals.  We are not allowed to fear treatments only the illness ... I am concerned about both thank you very much cancel culture yuck

I wish I knew what my emotional needs were in relationships with family friends etc I really have no idea and I think I'm probably a totally narcissistic autistic person and to be honest with you I kind of hate myself today but I know it's not helping the world for me to hate myself so I have to figure out what the heck I can do to contribute to the world.  and I know a lot of people hate myself portraits and pick on me about it and perhaps being in therapy is actually making me more of a jerk and not helping me at all so I'm kind of in a bad mood today can you tell everyone I just had a therapy session and I feel really awful and I have a modeling job later today blah blah blah I'm alive how are you today

Just hope I get to see my dad again in person someday haven't seen him in over 2 years which is the longest I've ever gone without seeing him going to see my mom next week when I have a modeling job near her in a very limited way outside 10 ft away from each other etc.  I'm not afraid to be closer to her but she's afraid of me so therefore I'm going to follow her rules so we can have compassion for each other in our differing comfort levels with what we do and what we don't do right everyone compassion empathy for those thinking differently than you

I was happy to see my dad on zoom yesterday but I felt like we connected in a sort of an indirect way honestly I think both my dad and I are a bit autistic but I'm not really sure but we seem to connect better with music and movies comedy etc  than we do in a direct human way.

feeling happy today 01-28-21  just recorded a new Goddess KRING free range human radio show.  publishing soon!
