i was so touched to see your wonderful post on my fb wall.  i miss you a lot too and am so glad to see you back on fb (although i completely understand why ppl go off of it).

i don't come to dc a lot but hopefully the next time i do we can get together.  i am always thinking of you and if there's ever anything i can do for you, even if it's just to be there to listen, i will try my best.  with love, :) xo

Ok I have your number, i love you and I will call you. I need to come and visit you.

Very interesting. It just amazes me how you find all of these things.

Have a great day.

your quotes are wonderful, for starters.  and the rest is quite remarkable.  with kind regards, hippie lou

Yes, I realize not everyone quotes the great philosophers (like Walter Payton).  And, you did remark.  So, *gwarsh* thanks

hi that quote by walter payton is a great one!  the wonderful thing about insight is no one has a monopoly on it, it comes from anywhere and everywhere.  it behooves us to be listening to all channels.

Do you consider yourself a "Hippie" or a "Beatnik"?

you ask an excellent question! i probably have elements of both, wonderful topic to discuss when we meet. how about you, do you identify with either group?
Sent 12:08pm

I think both groups honor peace & love & creativity so that's what I'm about.  Hippies are also associated with drugs and free sex and that's what I'm not about.  I get high on being healthy , doing yoga and engaging deeply in my creative process.

that is a great perspective. yes, i identify with peace and love and creativity too. and i love your process for getting "high"...i think it's wonderful and i share a similar process - although i'm not a practitioner several of the physical aspects of yoga. i hope to be sometime in the future.

with respect to drugs and "free" sex, i think both the beats and hippies were associated with them. they are not part of my life now, but i think both groups were experimental. experimenting with drugs, different "structures" of intimate relationships, eastern philosophy and practices, styles of dress, etc.

i respect experimentation as one of many tools one can use to try to improves one's life, improve the lives of others, and perhaps create a better world and move the human race a step forward. experimentation and exploration are still big parts of my life and probably always will be. :)

Heya Lou, would you kindly ask if you know anyone hiring? I'm looking to make a jump back.

do you have a linkedin account?  happy to help

Thanks Lou. I do. I'll send it to you after I put in my two weeks

well i could just give a generic description; it would be anonymous

Ah

if you feel like it, connect to hippie lou on linkedin
i wouldn't post anything without running it by you first

I'm connected with you haha

Peripatetic skool

any general description of the kind of work you're looking for?

Anything in an office pretty much. I've done everything except waiting tables.
Thankie Lou. Much appreciated. See you soon.

ok, will do...thanks for asking me. :)

But of course! You're hippie lou!

hippie dippy!

Haha right-o

i have a friend that needs a place to stay somewhere in the nyc area; even a night or two would be helpful. she is kind and considerate, i can't recommend her highly enough. with love, hippie lou

For your friend: we don't really have enough space for guests, but I have an air mattress she is welcome to borrow if that is any help! Not sure if it is, but putting it out there just in case

you are the best, really really appreciate it.  i will keep you posted and thank you so much once again. :)

Of course. You know I've been there! If she becomes really in need please let me know and I'll try to make something work

ok...yes she is in crisis...exiting an abusive situation but we are working a lot of channels so i know something will work out.  thank you so much and i will keep you posted. :)

You have a dramatic history but your present life sounds like poetry.

I like poetry.
