AP Call. I loved “meeting” Phyllis.
Phyllis’ reading of Light Green as follows:
Healthy Perception of Green: crocus in spring, light green willow trees, parrots flying overhead in India, sixteen parrots, grass in spring, the new green on my golden rain trees sprouting, shoots of green on freesia bulbs, pale green eyes, light green vest that my mother had, suede vest in the 40’s that was given to my aunt Dorothy who gave it to Lorraine and it was lost. light green finger-paint, light green pen that I would use to maybe write a logo, light green car, that would be noticeable going down the road.
Unhealthy Perception of Green: tornado, strange green in the sky, clouds that might be green, the green light at sunset on some horizons, at sea, the whole sky pale, strange ominous green, a green crayon that is ill, sick-looking, the saying of feeling green when you’re sick, the heart, green that’s like envy that is almost grabby, kind of greedy. soup, mold, still water that has a kind of film of dead stale green, associated with stale things, stale potatoes, bad food, the worst thing, green water, a bad color on the lake when it’s going to storm, green shoes that were not good when I wore them, bad shoes, two down-boots that were green.

4. I did my call with my AP and she had some really powerful images come through. Unfortunately when I went to send in my homework yesterday the computer won’t turn on:( I think it collected too much humidity from the recent flood I had. I’m hoping it can be fixed in the next few days and I will get back what she said and I will post it as soon as I can. Sorry Jenn!
A.) I spent time in nature daily, my back yard and the ocean!
B.) listening to ch. 5 gratitude diaries
C.) healthy light green- lifesavers, peaceful ,calming, flowing, going with the flow, special and unique, seeing a special heirloom, feels like royalty, twirling and bending in a lush greenery with trees, playfulness and adventure. Willingness to explore, curiosity, a little girl walking in the trees excited about every step forward!
unhealthy green- pea green, reminds me of peas I didn’t like as a kid, forced to do something, lack of control, expectation, feeling sick, vomit, anxiety, feeling social pressure. Having to be one way. Overwhelmed and sadness in the heart. Disconnection to nature. Not being grounded, isolation feeling lost and scared little girl in the trees.
1) Practicing tools most days, some days I am only able to do a guided meditation at night (the love and joy meditation). I have a hard time without the structure of the guided meditation. I do a lot of walking, but in the city it doesn’t feel as though I’m ‘walking in nature’. I have been having the feeling of ‘I’m not doing any of this right’ a lot lately.
