Namaste! Sussreekall! Salut!! Nay ho! Khush amadeed! And Howdy, y’all! I trust everyone is enjoying a bounty of thanks and thankfulness, this week. I am very thankful for you all, Beautiful People.
Blessed be. Word up.
The photo I have up here (of Nicklas+his pal, Chula) is in the middle of several monsooon-esque days in a row, in Vancouver. It seemed everyone around was downtrodden and sulking (even though everyone KNOWS they live in a rainforest??) Except for these two little dogs. They were my examples. My teachers. (And, maybe if I had a human kid- I would find that child would be my teacher)
Sometimes, Nicklas leads and Chula follows. Sometimes, Chula leads and Nicklas follows. They do not compete. They have no neurosis regarding competitiveness. They are symbiotic and equal.
Like we all should be. Om Hare Om.
Leadership is a combination of interchangeable qualities (which we ALL have in us) like being dependable and supportive, imaginative, curageous, caring, inspiring and motivating.
People need inspirational, motivating people in their world. We need each other. We need to lift each other up. Lend a hand. Help each other to achieve and thrive. We sometimes need to acknowledge that fact, to rid ourselves of the “independant” self.
We are all one.
One love.
One planet.
Fuck yeah!
Be a leader and be led, from time to time. Share.
I need you. And I thank you for that.
Gratitude and love from my heart,
Biffy

Namaste! Salaam! Word to Yo Mutha! And HIGHEST blessings to everyone!! It’s Sai Baba’s birthday, today. We always celebrate it, at my house. Om Sai Ram. Baba’s cool to us because of his encouragement of ALL religious beliefs and his charity efforts with millions of people in India, supplying water and free medical, etc. So, happyhappy birthday, Yo!
Also, this week finds American Thanksgiving underway. There is so much for us all to be thankful for!!!! Fuck yeah!!!
(But, remember: a turkey has nothing to be thankful fOr!!! Just sayin.) Don’t forget to check out http://VegCooking.com for some nummy ideas that are “non-harming”)
Today I wanted to share with you a photograph I took, that I keep on my camera, never erasing it (one of many). I took this photograph (above) this year, as I was nearing the end of my 17 Herceptin rounds.
It is a very important visual reminder, for me personally, of where I have been this year….and where I may return (as one never knows)
It keeps me in check. Keeps my perspective correct and real. I’m grateful to see it and look at it everytime I get bummed or anxious or overwhelmed with any of life’s trivialities. Word!
It keeps me grounded if I need help and brings me back to reality.
Positivity is about perspective.
True dat.
Because, as the saying goes: “It could always be worse”. And, it COULD! LOL!
So make the MOST and make the BEST of everything you git handed. Keep your perspective. It is actually being “mindful” and you will, naturally, be simply grateful for everylittle thing, every day.
Its waaaaaaaay better to walk around feeling happy for just about everything. Why not?
Thanksgiving is giving thanks.
I am, as ever, thankful for you guys. Om Nama Shivaya. I am grateful for Nicklas and everyone I know. Grateful that I don’t have an ostomy bag (not that there’s anything “wrong” with that) and grateful that my sink makes clean water (technically) with which I brush my bubblegum-soiled-soon-to-be-compromised-from-the-sugar teeth, and grateful for the roof over me head where I snuggle with my babydog every night, etc.etc.etc. (You get the picture)
Perspective, Friends. It’s what we’re having for Thanksgiving Dinner. Okay, and papayas (I won’t eat Tofurkey, myself, but I will cook the tofu for my friends.)
Happy SaiBaba’s Birthday to you all!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Happy Everything with a cherry on top! May you have a fuckingfantastic week!!!!! Bliss and lovey Blessings to you. Skate or Die. GabbaGabbaHey. Hare Krishna.
Love,

Namaste! Sussreekall! Merhaba! Gooten tag! Hola! Whatthefuckup,YO! BLISS to all of you! May each and everyone of you be enshrouded in Peace and Blessings on this, International Transgender Day of Remembrance. We share the sorrow with the slain and their families, and radiate love to all. Om Nama Shivaya. Shanti Shanti Om.*moment of silence*This week has been extremely wet in Vancouver, and my wee babydog is rather downtrodden. :( I try, a you know, to live in The Light, and maintain sheer blisspositivity always, hoping it will spread like a rash. Of course, it is often falling on deaf ears (no offence to hearing impaired peeps!!)But I am always undaunted, and simply go to my “happy place”. In fact, my “happy place” is wherever I am. Everyday. Delusional, perhaps, but I could give a fuck, really. LOL! Its just how I roll.Home from tour, I am busy with the remaining cancer tests (DON’T get me started!! Ladies+Gentleman: I will FIND OUT WHETHER OR NOT I’m KICKED-OUT OF CANCER-ACTION IN ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!!!!!!! More on THAT as it occurs, next week! Stay tuned-same place,same channel) and I am giving into “the pressure” of attempting to pen my “memiors” (an EXCRUCIATING process for me, given my penchant for “unworthiness/humility” and lack of proper psychological assessments! LOL! Sooooo much therapy needed! OY VEY!) Not to mention the fact that I CAN NOT TYPE, so I write everythingEVERYTHING by hand. (There aint enough vitamin D or glucosamine on the planet to support my subsequent hand-cramping!)Its my current focus and is leaving me feeling quite raw+broken……however, I have found my calling (besides volunteering in hospice): HUGGING!!!!!Deathmetal-bass-playing aside, THIS is my dream job!! (See above video) THIS is the truest example of KARMA YOGA I have ever seen!!!! I encourage you all to explore this website and sign up/register!!!! It RULES SO HARD!!!Wouldn’t it be so lovely to just run around, hugging, all day long?? (Note to perverts-fuck off!)I lovelovelove the basic INTENTION behind this TrueLovePath and I think messages+actions like this can actually Save the World! One Hug at a time. *beam*Om Nama Shivaya! I hope you all have a beautiful weekend, rain or shine. And, from me to you, straight from my openheart, the biggest HUG right this minute! :)

Love, Bliss, and HUGS,

Namaste! Sussreekall! Bonjour! Salut! Hellyeah! Hola! And Salaam to Everyone!! Welcome to a NEW MOON! A biggie, I understand, though I don’t know the first thing about astrology. Do you? (If you DO: I am a Gemeni)
I read something about this NewMoon that mentioned “it is a good time to start new projects or partnerships” or somthing like that. I thought, “what LUCK! I AM embarking on a smattering of ‘new projects’!” How convenient to also have the planets do their thang!! Neat! :D
My mama always told me, “if it was easy, EVERYONE would be doing it.” And I believe that is true.
It goes for ANYTHING one does.
Par example:
-physiotherapy is HARD WORK
-getting your education/degree is HARD WORK
-transitioning/improving your diet/nutrition is HARD WORK
-the police force/firefighting/military bootcamp is HARD WORK
-trying to get your demos recorded is HARD WORK
-making+having a healthy baby is HARD WORK
(Which leads us to: raising a happy+healthy kid is HARD WORK)
-kicking habits+rehab is HARD WORK
-successfully keeping your “relationship” together is HARD WORK
-navigating the job market and finding a job is HARD WORK
-keeping one’s job can be HARD WORK
-cleaning out your refridgerator is HARD WORK
-getting an “A” in school is HARD WORK
-potty training a puppy/baby/kitty is HARD WORK
-volunteering with the sick+dying I HARD WORK
-staying positive is HARD WORK (sometimes)
You get my drift.

A lot of the things that may be making you feel overwhelmed have a right to: they are HARD work.
And its okay to GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION to ackowledge that things are HARD. Its okay, BeautifulOnes. They are hard because nothin’ worth anything comes easy.
Remember: NOBODY GETS OFF EASY.
Om Nama Shivaya.
And you have to STAY ON YOUR PATH. And I have to stay on my path. You WILL get through it. You WILL get through it SUCCESSFULLY. You will!!!! :)
NewMoon and NEW opportunity to succeed! I fuckin love it! Challenge yourself! DO it!
What’s that sayng: “do something that scares you” like seeing something through? Like following your dreams? What?
Share? *hugs*
I wish everyone Highest Blessings and endless love energy and positivity for a HUGELY SUCCESSFUL WEEK!!!!! Okay? Okay!!
I am sending you INFINATE Bliss from my heart, and best wishes for all your new projects!
Om Hare You go!!!!

Namaste! Sussrekall! Salaam!! Merhaba!! Bonjour!! And a big hug to you LoveyBeautifulPeople. Thank you for meeting me here, and reading my ramblings. I want to wish each of you Highest Blessings and sheer bliss, wherever you may be.
I am home. In Vancouver. In my Neighbourhood (picture above). I am veryvery fortunate to be here.
“Here” meaning here in Vancity.
My hood is often referred to as “Yaletown West” or “False Creek North” (because its across from “False Creek/Granville Island”). It is along the seawall.
I live in an apartment building that is filled with people. Mostly, the people in my hood are pretty fancy.
I am not so fancy. LOL!
I have a standard, tired saying, that “I feel safe where I live because I’m the scummiest person in my building” (and I secretly know I’m not “scummy”- so THAT means, if I am the WORST of the bunch, at least I know that’s a good thing? LOL!)
What I mean is I am the only person in my area in the Lamb of God hoodie. The REST of the neighbourhood is afraid of grrls who look like moi. LOL!
Do you watch NCIS tv show? Do you know the character, “Abby Sciuto” (played by Pauley Perrette? Abby is a “goth” grrl who happens to be a forensic scientist. Abby sleeps in a coffin. Abby is the sweetest loveydovey character!! Like the guru, Amma (the hugger), Abby is a real huggybear!
I LOVE HER! (And Amma, for that matter)
My point is, one can’t judge a book-by-its-cover.
And, even though some of the fancy people in my neighbourhood cross the street when they see me, or clutch their purses a little more tightly (true story) I feel like running up to them and hugging away their fears/judgement, and sharing with them my gum. Hahaha!
And, it is even a good lesson FOR ME in not judging THEM jus because I think they may be a little “elitest” or “rightwingconservative”.
Cuz what if they’re NOT?? And they just LOOK like they are????? I would feel bad if I was fearful of a person whom I deemed “mean/homophobic/racist/classist/sizeist/mean to babydogs/etc” and in actuality they weren’t.
Somebody might LOOK like they wouldn’t be cool, but they MIGHT be??? Right?
People are people.
Everybody’s got their own story. Their own struggles. Their own heartaches. Everyone. On the planet.
Everyone is somebody’s child. Om Nama Shivaya.
I like thinking this way because it is The Truth.
Besides, what if I could play some Lamb of Godsongs for someone who had never heard of them- and they became a FAN?!!!
Or an NCIS fan? Or an Amma devotee? Or EVEN a “BifNaked” fan??? LOL!
I love the challenge and the hope of it all.
I will invite the fancypeople over to our “dark” side, and perhaps they will discover that our side is actually where all the sunshine is. *beam*
Have a sunshiney lovey weekend, Everyone.
May you experience Freedom From Judgement and a sense of GREATSELFWORTH!!!!
Here’s to all the people in yer neighbourhood!
Let’s convert ‘em all!
Hare Lovey Om!
Love,
Biffy
