Extreme Makeover Home Edition - DeAeth 5 of 5





Aired - January 29, 2006

Animal lovers Dale and Melanie DeAeth of Washington, Texas, who started the True Blue Animal Rescue organization, and their three children, Jessica, Cory and Colton, will have their own home rescued by Ty and the gang.

The DeAeths are the first people the Texas law enforcement calls when they find abused and neglected animals. Their True Blue Animal Rescue organization provides a safe haven to horses, dogs and other animals that need loving care -- and it's run out of their own home!

While both parents have been working full-time jobs in addition to rescuing, nurturing and adopting out animals, they've neglected their own house, which is literally falling apart! The DeAeth home's foundation has shifted, the walls are cracked throughout, and termites have invaded.

Since they started True Blue Animal Rescue, the DeAeths have taken in over 90 dogs and 40 horses -- many of which are now living full lives in adopted homes. But they still have 30 dogs and 15 horses on their property and several cats that are in temporary foster homes. Between vet costs and nutrition, this family is in need of rescue themselves.

This family is so busy that everyone pitches in to help the animals in the evenings and on weekends, and each child has his/her own rescue dogs with their own special story. Melanie also helped take in and rescue animals left homeless in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and took horses and dogs back home with her to adopt out. In this episode, the "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" team heads to a Texas ranch to take care of the family who've worked hard to end animal abuse and neglect by taking care of so many of our furry friends!

While Ty and the gang, along with the hundreds of workers and volunteers and local builder Stylecraft Builders, Inc., transform their house into a comfortable and safe home and animal shelter, the DeAeth family will go on vacation to Palm Springs.

The design team for this episode of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" will feature team leader Ty Pennington, Tanya McQueen, Michael Moloney, Ed Sanders and Eduardo Xol.

ps.....  America needs YOU, thinking & taking action!

returning to ~ L O V E ~


which is everpresent, already there, lifting the veil, an on-going reminding, enheartening, enlighten and enlivening.  a constant course correction after stumbling, forgeting, grand slams of 'im in control'....

a re-attunement to LOVE
a refinement of LOVE
its expression
and call to action

L O V E through the ages.... its subleties, complexities, entanglements and liberation...
its utmost simplicity....
the weave, the web, the flavors of Love... Lovelihood....  " I loved, therefore I lived"

you know ;-)
~ L O V E ~



In jOy!

today i weep
i scream, "damn you!"
breathe breathe
growl...

i feel the burden of my heritage
the curse and kinks
constraints
as i birth myself
.  s o l o .

i feel the intense push
after a long strenuous labor
i cry "i can't do this"
"i want out"
"damn you for getting me into this mess"

i feel alone
(although i'm not)
alone in this labor
that takes me to the brink

the altar of totality and nothingness
breaking open
breaking through
being between

labor of fire and fear
shifts to
water and letting go
contract/expand
i'm grinding gears

this bond i have with my body
is it bondage and betrayal,
as i suffer in pain
or is it treasure, a temple
and i trust its gifts

nevertheless i weep
and scream
fall in between
forgetful closure
and pristine awakening

damn you!
divine you~

alone in the moment that
encompasses it all

i'm burning here
wound up, anxious, weepy, skin crawling
i'm not going anywhere
i'm standing right here,
on the edge
the pyre of fire


disrobing, shedding, exposing
b a r e
what else can i rip off? rip open?
i want full exposure
wiggle, s t r e t c h, moan
every nook and cranny to this heat, fire, light
burn baby burn
an impulse: to scream, run, hide, take cover
but there's no turning back


the burn has begun, stop now and i'll be
an ugly deformed wretch, raw, oozing
no no, blackened is the aim
scorch the fields,
and in weeks or months to come
the grounds blackened
c h a r n e l
will have been nourished by the old remnants
recycled into new life, potentialities
r e b i r t h


i'm letting go, releasing,
the really really good
in order to play great
!MAHA!
cleaning heart like cleaning house
and i'm burning


i've practiced
staying engaged
and letting go
but this,
this is a new level
releasing the certainty of good, really good
for the uncertainty of great
the audacity of !great!


this is big biG bIG BIG
competing conflicts
maternally "hold on"
paternally "take it"
fear fear fear
breaking long lineages
too much breast, not enough balls
fear fear fear
i'm suffocating, cant breathe
a n x i e t y


p e l e, baby... take it from here
i'm yours
on the pyre
passionately partnered
offerer ~ offered to
ignore my squirms, screams, self
i~  w a n t ~ this
every last bit of it
immaculate burning
p e l e
please

:you'll get through this.  you'll be ok. :

<<<<<HUG>>>>>

i'm here.  i love you.

who would i be
if i did not hide

what would i do
if i did not doubt

how would i act
if i did not hesitate

who would i love
if i did not judge

what would i see
if i did not turn away

what would i say
if this minute was the last

what change would i make
if the cost was my life

how would i sleep
if i felt the world

....

ooo delish.... toes to tips, humming strumming...
loooong kundalini strings resounding: mmm, ohhh, ommm, ahhh, eee,
no where else i want to be
here now
all of me
with all of thee
we
pulsing playing
d i v i n i t y

"stace whatcha doing?"

====>  whatever i want to!!!  :-)




i am in a state sans kids!  and it is beautifully blissfull.... capital B-L-I-S-S-F-U-L-L  !!
(yes, i mean full... as in over- freely -flowing)
oh my! hallefrigginlujah!

i love them, i do, i do!  and i miss them, a little.

and...
i can breathe, whew! 
i can re-collect myself....

my awareness, all of it, is just *right here*...
with me, now, and only.

i don't have to be attuned to the state of silence or noise.... if its too quiet, they are up to something.  scanning, what are those noises? is that healthy play?  is there trouble?  is it a dynamic, escalating?  will i need to intervene soon to guide them through communication, understanding and cooperation?  is that a sound of danger?

i don't have to be prepared that one of my daughters could wake in the middle of the night with a frightful dream... and settle her back down again. 

my activities can be as LOUD as i want.  i can LEAVE the house spur of the moment, any time of night, for whatever strikes my whim.  i can take a midnight walk under the stars hearing all the wild noises of life after dark... ha! i can!

simply, my attention, awareness, mindfulness isn't dispersed.... it doesn't have to go in the direction of my two dearest most precious beings and keeping them in good care.... which is an honor, my privilege, and taxing.  

its *right here* for me, solamente. 
and its this moment, that i realize intimately how much i have, to offer and to give....
because dispersion has been replaced with  intensity

focused, flowing...
shazam!
::: molten mama turns volcanic vixen with lava loving :::

so what am i about to do?  i don't know, it doesn't matter.... i just can.
