Hey! After running five miles, I start to feel like I can do anything! That is, until something happens that I have no control over......

LIKE A WASP STING!!!!! This incident has nothing whatsoever to do with the training..... Yes, on thiss day, I was just picking blackberries! I will let the pictures do the explaining.

I learned alot about wasps. I thought I was just getting stung. Turns out int was an initiation into order & feminine power:

Wasps in Totem Spirit Lodge Library Forum
Animal Symbolism of the Wasp

Wasps make paper. Their structures are built with knowledge of sacred geometry. The female has the stinger, many species have one near the tummy. In fact, it is their female sex organ, meant for laying eggs! They can sting multiple times, unlike the bee that stings once and then dies. I have to admit, that my house needs lots more order, and that I have been procrastinating on a few good projects. I will let you know how things turn out....

This is what I think I walked into....



Anyway, the five mile run was wonderful. Here is a little video clip....

Dim lights Here is Geronimo chilling after the run....



Yes, the fires are still raging, and I am still running!!!

Okay, so as you can see, that was quite a day! Now, for a few words about why I am doing this:

With more than 3 million members and supporters, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the largest animal rights organization in the world. PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the fashion industry, and in the entertainment industry. We also work to prevent a variety of other abuses, including the cruel killing of beavers, birds, and other "pests" and cruelty toward backyard dogs. PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue efforts, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns. You can find out more about PETA on our Web site PETA.org.

Although PETA does work in all these areas, all funds raised by the 2012 PETA Pack team will go directly to our Investigations & Rescue Fund. That means your money can provide a sturdy doghouse to a neglected backyard dog who has no shelter, help rescue an animal from a cruelty situation, support our undercover investigators who are working to expose cruel conditions behind closed doors, and much more!

The PETA Pack team spends three months each year training and sweating and fundraising and laughing and cheering for the group that is the world's most powerful voice for animals: PETA. Join us today! You can make your donation to petapack right here..

PEACE! Tchiya
