It was two years ago today when I started the Get Galvanized blog. I was skating with the Fresh Meat division of the L.A. Derby Dolls and I was in the midst of a turning point of my life that entailed much more than skating around in circles.
It was a time of deciding that I was going to be myself and I was going to give up worry and concern about doing things the "right" way. I also decided it was time for some fun in my life. Starting a blog has been a great form of self-expression for me and has also helped me to reconnect with my Life.
To date, I have posted 405 blogs. That's an average of 3.9 per week for the past 2 years. I have enjoyed every minute of it. Documenting my journey has made it real and it has transformed my life because I have a constant visual reminder of who I am and what is important to me. I cannot see this anywhere else in the world except by looking at my creations.
When I look to the outside world, I get a set of rules, regulations and expectations of who I "should" be based on the fact that I'm a White, 44-year-old, female, college instructor and published author. Many times people look right at me and seem to be listening to what I'm saying yet it is clear, they do not see me, they see a stereotype and they hold on to a set of expectations of who they think I am.
I am not interested in being what I "should" be, I am interested in being me and in finding the people who can respect and honor that. I am interested in connecting with people of like-mind and people who are brave enough to be authentic. I hope you enjoy the contents of the blog and also that it gives you courage and initiative to be who YOU are and to dare to share that with the world. It's not always easy but it's fun, exciting and exhilarating. It is Life at it's best and that is worth celebrating.

This song by Blackalicious is about living in the flow of life which is exactly what the Law of Attraction is. But in some ways it's more enjoyable to listen to this song and feel it than it is to sit around and think about it.

[Floetry]
It's automatique-- now
So here bring my speak-- style
Show y'all how to freak-- star
Is automatique-- now
So automatique-- now
The sound you gon' keep-- down
Come listen and peep-- how
It's automatique
[Gift of Gab]
It's automatic sporadic movements on the brake
The moment's magic the last thing that I should do is think
I burst the energy that hints that really it's no time
At birth you start to think that after death back to no mind
A rest that makes you new again now you embrace the planet
And stand in all of all the thing you daily took for granted
The trees are posin' all unique in form make this perfection
The most important time is now tomorrow's a projection
A co-creator if you only just believe in that
Right here today inside is where I find my freedom at
Is simple as a lyric from my soul to yours as felt
I didn't write this I just let the pen move by itself
It's ART-o-matic
[Hook]

[Natalie of Floetry]
So blessed we rest in a space over-standin'
This breath's so unique we must trace where we landed
Magnetizin' minor tracks is subliminal
So fiend-in to the evidence is evident I'm bein' true
True to the moment the channelin' the callin'
True to the heartbeat the passion and the formin'
This rollercoaster's the one I stood in line for
Hands in the air these upside downs here are paid for
Make this relevant and here what you gotta hear
I'm recordin' all the secrets of my silent shed
Don't think about it just absorb everything you taste
If it set you free you gonna find the ways
You're who you gonna be unless you choose otherwise
If you let it flow the universe will empathize
Check your programs they monitorin' your sanity
Now close your eyes inside you find the clarity
It's automatic!
[Hook]
[Floetry]
Free your body know this ought to be open
Then lose control just let it happen then
Live at it and set it
Move again your clarity start to assume again
I know this one twist will feel it in
You think you don't know the engine (???)
But it's so automatic
So so so automatic
[Gift of Gab]
It's automative, beyond the common logic native
Beyond the ball around my drama now I'm divin' waitin
So stop and wait this, now operate it on the wavelength
A thought of way is presented by true laws of nature
Across the nation a lost of patience is cost inflation
So caught in waitin', and contemplatin' obligations
Read up inaugurations politrations violatin
And all the haters all up it cannot invadin'
The honest tension, two orders sacred not created
Good thought I made it!! I'm born beyond the constellations
So concetratin', and follow man we all are awakin'
It's automative, you gotta make it follow faith in
Come on come on!

In this passionate talk, Eve Ensler declares that there is a girl cell in us all -- a cell that we have all been taught to suppress. She tells heartfelt stories of girls around the world who have overcome shocking adversity and violence to reveal the astonishing strength of being a girl. By the end of the talk she'll have you yelling "I love, I love, I love...being a girl!"

On Sunday May 2nd, the L.A. Derby Dolls, Southern California’s premiere all-female, banked track roller derby league, will lead a skating clinic for the Children of the Night as part of the Big Sunday, the annual volunteer weekend that takes place across Southern California.
Children of the Night is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing and empowering children who have been forced into prostitution. This is the second year that they have worked with L.A. Derby Dolls on Big Sunday.
After skating, community service is the most important thing that the L.A. Derby Dolls do. The Dolls have worked with the Human Rights Campaign, St. Vincent Medical Center (for a women’s health and wellness clinic), After School All Stars, and M.E.N.D, among many other projects, and were honored in 2009 as a Treasure of Los Angeles by the Central City Association (an honor that puts the Dolls in the company of the L.A. Dodgers and Magic Johnson).
Big Sunday is an annual weekend that takes place in the spring when thousands of people from Southern California, of all ages and all backgrounds, work together at hundreds of nonprofits, schools and other agencies that need their help. Big Sunday Weekend is one of the largest regional community service events in America.
This past Sunday I realized one of the many ways my Toastmasters training comes in handy. In this video, you'll see how the hostess of the party invites each person in attendance to light a candle and "tell the birthday girl why you're glad she was born."
None of us was prepared for this speech, including me. However, thanks to my many hours of training in Toastmasters, I have improved my impromptu speaking skills.
Toastmasters helps you to think on your feet and teaches you skills like vocal variety, body language and storytelling. After I told Tina why I'm glad she was born, someone said "good speech". I simply held my hands out, shrugged my shoulders and replied, "Toastmasters!"
Toastmasters is an International organization. Find out more on their website.

I just finished listening to a live teleseminar featuring Marianne Williamson. It was so filled with bits of wisdom to galvanize women that I found myself Tweeting quotes throughout the show. This call was part of the Women on the Edge of Evolution teleseries.
Her topic was Sister Giant: Rousing the Sleeping Giant of American Womanhood. You can listen to it on-line here.
She's going to do a Sister Giant: Rousing the Sleeping Giant of American Womanhood event in Los Angeles on February 26, 27 and 28. Sign up here. Scholarships are available for those who can't come due to lack of funds.
This video is about a movie being made from a movement. There's some interesting footage of people in action at a grass roots level. I have long wanted to be the kind of person who makes a difference but it seems I was always getting in my own way.
I didn't always know that's what I was doing but as I look back on the past with the knowledge and experience I have now, I know..."It was all me, every bit of it me."
I proclaim that 2010 is going to be an exception to the rule. If there's a shift going on (and I do believe there is) I want to be a part of it.
I have three goodies for you and each one will contribute to galvanizing your mind and preparing you get out of your own way and take action on your dreams and desires:
1) a free hypnosis MP3 titled Create the Life You Want at my iCreateHabits.com blog
2. Songs to Galvanize Your Mind list available here.
3. The Sheri and Erin Show on Blog Talk Radio.
