After a long day of biking in the HOT sun and strong head wind, we wanted to veggg out. So when we got to Nevada, we found the cinema and asked if we could see a movie for free. They let us! We didn't think it would work if we just asked so simply, but it did. We ended up seeing this TERRIBLE movie called "Killers" or something. It had no plot and was disgustingly cliche. BUT we wanted to veg out and we certainly got to.
After the cinema, we biked around town, scoping it out. The guy at China One gave us free steamed rice. Yumm.
Then we saw a bunch of kids hanging out on the street. We ended up going to this rock/country/indie/something concert with them. The moms were there too and we soo cool! We ended up staying up until 2 in the morning hanging out with the moms in Holle's chiropractics practice. They ordered us the most delicious veggie pizza and had snacks galore because it was "girl's night in the office"!
Holle, Brenda, and Brooks were loads of fun. Brenda and Holle taught us all about energy and healing. We learned that working on some patients can cause the doctor to be sick for hours or even days after touching the patient. The negative energy the patient carries is so potent that it seeps into the practitioner, who then can become violently ill. Holle spoke from personal experience and even though she has experienced this many times in the past, she speaks with a certain awe, as if she still can't believe it happens. But it does, and that's crazy.
We talked about motherhood and maintaining spontaneity even when your youth has slipped away.
Brenda and Holle told us that there's no such thing as a bad day. Everything we experience is in first person, so essentially we affect our day, our mood, or outlook- everything. Being open and positive enough about things attracts positive people and more positive things happen. Then your bad day isn't bad anymore.
Brenda and Holle, you are awesome and have inspired us to have more fun even when we're back at school with our schedules and responsibilities. We decided to copy you and do a once a week girls night (boys can come too), except we don't have a sweet chiropractics practice to hang out in, so we'll have to use the film building or something.
Anyways, we ended up sleeping in the office and eating left-over delicious pizza for breakfast.
We biked to Iola Kansas today, and are now waiting for it to cool down so that we can make it to Katie, the yodeler.

Dear Daniela and Jocelyn,
ReplyDeleteWe are reading your great experiences and missing you. Your pictures look so good. We are well informed about your journey. I hope you got my mail today about the work going on in Nepal. I was in far west Nepal for some times and now I am back in town. Great and take good care of your selves. Krishna
Hey girls,
ReplyDeletebeen updating myself on your lives, which are infinitely more exciting than my own...but just wanted to comment on the idea that a person "healing" someone else can get sick themselves...I actually wrote a 15 page paper on something very similar to this in latin american cultures last semester and if either of you would like to read it I'd be more than happy to email it to you. You both are AMAZING and I love you so dearly. Jocelyn, I'm glad you're feeling a bit better and sorry the doc was such a meanie.
Love you,
Josh Tanner
