thanks Martha Graham for this inspirational quote

someone just reminded me of this wonderful quote:


“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is on a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.”

― Martha Graham

The Rolling Stones Cast a Spell on me!

Jaggerisms mannerisms/ trust your inner thrust/ it's a must!

Creative writing August 17, 2019
by Shannon Kringen. 

Jaggerisms mannerisms/ trust the inner thrust it’s a must!

Jaggerisms mannerisms/ trust the inner thrust/ it’s a must!  Tom Petty dreams.  Hypnotised by the Jagger spell.   Jagger mannerisms feeling the dreamy energy/ antidote to the nope nope nope/ negative human events/ violent tragedies/ expression of fear and anger feeding the duality/ human fallacy/ us versus them/ failing to see/ the unity in diversity.  Captivated by echo in the canyon/ harmonising heart and mind/ fusing folk and rock ‘n’ roll/ California sound back to the best aspects of San Diego childhood/ knock on Woody Guthrie/ Dylan Petty forever Neil Young/ music washes away the dung.   as magic as a green metallic beetle/ opalescent scent  of that sound/ Morph to Tom Petty in a gourmet chocolate shop/ I noticed him talking to somebody about guitars while I was making a drawing in the kring style/ I glanced over at him giving him a knowing look of I really like your music but I don’t want to bother you don’t worry I respect you I’m not some creepy fan and he kind of nodded and smiled back at me like thank you for giving me my space.  I went back to doing my art work and I was enjoying the smell of marzipan and chocolate in the air when Tom Petty walked past me and tapped me on the shoulder and said hey Shannon Kringen I know who you are you’re the art lady who wanted to paint me a top hat and I know that you are a solid hearted authentic human with depth and sincerity/ not some shallow groupie/ with that I got up and walked over towards him and said I’m so glad you said that can I give you a hug? and he said yes/ I hugged him and felt a strong heart and mind connection along with some romantic attraction/ I asked him if I could kiss him on the neck and he nodded and I said please Tell your wife Dana  thank you so much for the loving words we shared on Instagram.  Tom Petty replied well of course that’s exactly what matters in life is sincere connections.  Fade into another Dream about meeting somebody who had never heard of Tom Petty or heard any of his music and it made me burst into tears and I said you’ve got to hear hypnotic Eye!  And his full body of work/ each album is like a novel/ each song telling a story.  Woke up from that dream crying for real and actually cried myself back to sleep thinking of artists who don’t have the full body of work appreciated and only known for a surface level value of what they do.  The words no filler came to mind and thinking about Tom Petty records every song well done/ no filler songs.  No filler morphs to no filter the name of the Rolling Stones 2019 tour/ no cheesy go through the motions/ rest three days perform one night rest again three days rinse repeat/ not cheating/  highest quality fine aged humans like fine wine/  76-year-old fine Jagger-Richards wine.  76 and counting what a longevity blessing/ so refreshing/ lit up from within/  outward expression matching sensual sexual charge/ electrical human/ free wild expression.  On a practical level avoided special event parking ranging from $40 to $60 bucks five dollar bottled water/ probably tap/ tap into frugal ways $2.75 bus ride/ zero traffic jam/ thanks m'am/  bring your own empty vessel/ fill with filtered water/ at the no filler stones show/ what a treasure/ beyond measure 81, 90, 19  (i saw the stones live in 1981, 1990 and 2019)

What a magical Rolling Stones show in Seattle 08/14/19

What a magical Rolling Stones show in Seattle  08/14/19

here is my essay on the concert:  What a magical Rolling Stones show in Seattle  08/14/19  I find music Very healing  and therapeutic.  Yes simple “fun” but way more than that.  A celebration of life in direct opposite to all the negative stuff happening in the world today.  A life affirming sexual sensual rebellious playful creative expression uniting all the fans in positive energy- I saw it as what “church” is supposed to be- Connecting and spiritual from a place of love and appreciating life / cooperation instead of competition- and their costumes were so beautiful !!! Mick came out with a sparkly jacket to begin with and a black silky shirt and the whole band seemed to be wearing snug fitting black pants very flattering on all of their handsome selves….Mick wore  lots of colourful silky shirts including a hot pink silky jacket and then a purple silky shirt and a blue silky shirt with sparkles like stars in the sky- I love that he wears very sensible comfortable dance rubber souled  shoes- I’d love to paint a pair of shoes for Mick Jagger that would be amazing ha ha ha ha!  Keith Richards wore a really pretty handsome green silky shirt and he wore these great bright green high top tennis shoes:  love those.  Ron Wood  had sparkly black shoes on the whole night and he wore a few different colourful shirts including florescent yellow and it looked  like velvety purple and red in layered and had bright rolling stone lip mouth logos repeating on his guitar strap…love the colour combinations.  Charlie Watts  wore  a more subdued coloured but nice green and purple inner and outer shirt.  I love the chemistry in the band between the four of them.  they had beautiful backup singers and a bass player and some keyboard players and some horn players and I forgot all of their names but everybody was so happy and smiling on stage and it all seems so genuine.   they were truly happy doing exactly what they love to do and bringing positive energy from the stage and sharing it with the audience.  The commercial aspect I don’t love like the expensive T-shirts and the ridiculous ticket prices and the ridiculous parking prices and all the junk food they sell at these kinds of events- And the idea of worshipping Rockstars and not seeing our own greatness is sad to me but the idea of being inspired by performers and feeling included in the positive energy and knowing that we also can create ourselves is fun and wonderful and magical and meaningful and healthy!  One last point I wanted to make was that it’s so inspirational to see people in their 70s so healthy and happy and fit.  Nobody has to be rich and famous in order  to take care of their bodies and exercise and eat healthy.   you can be fit and trim whether you’re young or old not that everyone has to be thin or skinny that’s not what I’m saying but if you want to be vibrant and healthy and strong you can take care of yourself and the Rolling Stones are examples of people who have done this.  I’m trying to say this in a way that doesn’t sound too judgemental but I feel very much in line and I resonate with the idea of ageing well and having longevity and yes we are all born with certain kinds of DNA but our lifestyles and what we eat and how much we exercise and if we get enough sleep and drink enough water all affects our health and how our DNA is expressed as well as our attitude and mental health and our relationships with other people and our jobs and just how we relate to  everything around us …and our own attitude about ourselves.. I see the Rolling Stones as a great example of how to age well and keep enjoying your life well into your old are years and just keep on enjoying it for as long as you can until you pass away basically!  Love is love and not fade away is one of the lines in one of their songs or is that a cover song “not fadeaway” ? Love that song.  I will close this little essay of mine about this experience of seeing the Rolling Stones in 2019 by saying it is absolutely delightful to watch Mick Jagger dance onstage and strut  his stuff…. so fun!   he is so playful with a great sense of humour… I see him as a very sexual sensual man in touch with his feminine side and is masculine side but I also see him as very childlike and fun in an enthusiastic creative expression way… like he’s not embarrassed to dance around and do primal unusual unorthodox movements… he’s following his own instinct and improvisational  dancing.  I absolutely love that it:  makes me happy!  It actually makes me cry and I love dancing around like him and imitating him and then coming up with my own improvisational way of moving.  as a figure model I relate to this.   I’m kind of a kinesthetic person.   I love watching the mannerisms of performers and people in general… especially Mick Jagger.   what an interesting way of moving and his facial expression are very interesting.  A  creative expressive person… just very uplifting and fun so playful like you know how you felt as a kid running around the playground open to just being playful and laughing and having fun!  A lot of adults seem to lose their sense of humour and their sense of fun and playfulness and how magical life can be and I feel like Mick Jaggers personality embodies that playfulness and basically celebrating being alive! How’s that for run on sentences and playful grammar!!!! 🙂   photos by Shannon Kringen from the show:  https://www.facebook.com/shannonkringen/media_set?set=a.10162243269020602&type=3

thank you Bernie Sanders AND Marianne Williamson

i don't watch tv or listen to mainstream news for the most part. i find most of it stressful, boring and shallow. i just watched an in depth interview with both Marianne Williamson and Bernie Sanders. so refreshing to hear DEPTH on topics and real serious issues and not shallow sound bites and people arguing and being dramatic etc. i love them both and agree with their ideas. i am on their wave length.

i am for #capitalism with #ethics yes. thanks #mariannewilliamson lining up policy with moral, ethical, humanitarian and democratic principles would be a healthier USA for sure. economic justice etc. national non profit public service healthcare etc. and yes she cannot "win" an election with our CURRENT system BUT it's important for humans to speak truth to power and RAISE the bar of intelligence and ethics in the MEDIA. so yeah for this wiser, smarter mind known as Marianne Williamson and Bernie Sanders lines up with this also.

more of my thoughts: Marianne Williamson cannot win an election with our CURRENT system BUT it's important 4 humans 2 speak truth 2 power & RAISE the bar of intelligence & ethics in the MEDIA. yeah 4 this wiser, smarter mind known as Marianne Williamson & Bernie Sanders lines up with this also.

nutrition for both pets and humans

one year of intermittent fasting and eating low carb, healthy fat and protein and very low sugar

july 5th, 2018 i started daily intermittent fasting- so today it's my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! i think 16:8 is very powerful! if people even just did 12:12 (or even just 3 meals a day, no snacks) they would improve their health i am betting! i feel so good eating in an 8 hour window- i think i will keep doing it forever! i have gotten leaner but i also mentally have gotten more stable and feel less depressed etc. i think it's great to fast in any form that works for you....some are afraid to fast worrying about Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) after being told they must eat every two hours to keep your blood sugar even- which is exactly the opposite of what happens. if you eat snacks all day every two hours your blood sugar tends to go up and down all day long- but if you eat a meal then fast and let your body rest from eating your blood sugar tends to even out and stabilize eventually.

i personally have normal blood sugar levels and have not had high or low sugar issues but i want to keep it that way. diabetes is skyrocketing and it takes up to 15 years of eating too often or too many carbs/sugars for your blood sugar to show up as too high. "pre-diabetes" happens behind the scenes when your body needs to secrete more and more insulin to digest foods and then it cannot keep up anymore after years of over eating carbs/sugars etc and just eating too often. i do not restrict calories or eat "light" i eat until full everyday- and yet i am burning off body fat! i eat very low sugar and low carb and i mostly eat protein and healthy fats and i do the time restricted eating which they say lowers the amount of insulin your body needs so you keep your body insulin sensitive so you can prevent diabetes from happening.

i am fascinated by the body and digestion etc. exercise also helps stabilize blood sugar and keeps you sensitive to your own natural insulin. i have been researching this intensely for a year now and many many MD doctors/nutritionists/dieticians and science research people online share stories of helping 100's of patients/clients and themselves improve and sometimes put into remission many "chronic" conditions with eating lower carbs/sugars and more healthy fats/proteins and eating in a window then resting from eating several hours a day. food also tastes amazing when i fast then eat a large meal.

my muscles also seem to be stronger as i am eating more protein and more healthy fats which seems to be changing my metabolism- burning fat and building or at least maintaining muscle as i age.  i am 50 right now!

this could help so many people suffering...and yes of course consult with your healthcare professional before radically changing your diet etc. but i would say be careful and make sure you can trust this person. a lot of "mainstream" nutrition advice is dead wrong and makes people more sick and in need of medications! so be careful who you listen to.  experiment and see what works and if something makes you worse change and do something that helps you heal and feel good.

diabetes in cats and dogs is also skyrocketing due to high carb pet foods...my cat is mildly diabetic and i switched him to raw meat diet (nutritionally balanced from health food pet store) and he is thriving and does not need insulin shots. he's been eating over two years like this and is doing well. i give him raw frozen meats and freeze dried meats on the side or in an automatic feeder when i need to go to work etc. and he's happy and healthy
