Drishti of the Day:

"Any pure and proud nation that wants to have a future, of any kind, go directly opposite of the way the United States is going, on marijuana and Technology alone. The decline of the quality of men and women here has been exponential, and they refuse to be led in the direction of saving themselves or the very earth on which they stand. Literally. I've gotten no phone calls, for years, to bring all of my Gifts to bear for this country. It's officially out of my hands and in God's, alone. There is scarcely a high-functioning person who is sober 100% of the time to even trade a look with on this. Can you imagine the next 5, much less 10 years?" -Amy Jin

New Paradigmatic Enlightenment Services:

This Movement is committed to the spiritual power of individuals who are dedicated to their own spiritual growth and existence while they R here. Therefore, all prices are negotiable for those who desire to become more enlightened, ascended, Christ or Buddha-like, and additional donations are always welcome towards this informally begun non-profit Movement.

If U are sincere and have pure intentions, you will immediately be seen for that. These prices reflect an acknowledgment of the capitalistic society in which we live, believes that the best in class deserve to be paid accurately 4 their gifts, and that, in an ideal society, the enlightened would flow money power, if such a thing even existed. It also believes that $ means nothing to the truly powerful, but creating Utopia, so to speak, according to the rules until they R different, is also the place to be.

I find that my practitioners/students who invest and do the work, individually, with me, especially in conjunction with regular attendance to the asana classes I lead, see tremendous benefit, including pretty immediate "huge" revelations, releases of pent-up emotion, a "synchronistic" or miraculous event, or a job promotion, to name a few.

  • · LEARNING (Ashtanga-based)(Santa Monica) POWER YOGA &/or MEDITATION (with many types of influence—primarily Zen Soto [Buddhist], New Age/Metaphysical, & “the kind yogis do in class”) WITH ME-$85 4 1 Personalized Lesson. U may purchase a pre-paid group of 10 sessions for $800 (8-mo. expiration from date of purchase, intended, ideally, for use within 1.5-2)(Non-refundable, non-transferable, however, unused sessions may be donated to other students in financial need prior to their expiring). No “traveling” fees in this Movement, except over 20 miles.
  • · EMF BALANCING TECHNIQUE (Phases I-IV) and SPIRITUAL ILLUMINATION SESSIONS-Advanced Energywork connected to the Indigo and Crystal Children Phenomenon, also known as the "Martial Art Of The Heart," and Spiritual Teaching & Guidance Sessions-for truth & healing to the center of your being from an “awakened forerunner Indigo/Crystal Child” (That means “Spiritual Luminary with a high level of spiritual acumen & accuracy”). Typical topics that emerge or are brought to the latter are Work, Relationships, Life Purpose, Core or Untapped Gifts, including Spiritual ones, and past hurts that require higher perspective to be unwound into free-flowing energy. $200 per session (Typically, 1 hr.-1 hr. and 15 min.).
  • · SPIRITUAL ILLUMINATION-BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT and IMPROVEMENT FROM WITHIN for sole proprietors to corporations. Cost depends on project & can be adapted to fit your budget. Please inquire.
  • Cash, check, & money orders are acceptable methods of payment. Amy Jin may be reached at EternalLove47@aol.com with inquiries or to schedule.
  • Spiritual Illumination Sessions can be done in person, by phone, and also in writing (electronically or hand-written). Energywork can also be done over the phone.

Come to Class!:

  • ~September 27th, 2012: Love Yoga: The Movement is now endorsed by NICC and is being considered for regularly scheduled class times and within-the-semester-system presence on both campuses, based on leaders from the school's personal experience in class. Look for additional class times & learning opportunities as they become available! Big ups to Northeast Iowa Community College for supporting enlightenment and higher intelligence with both feet in!
  • ~~UPDATE: TH./October 4th, 2012: Word is NICC is not interested in adding anymore "Fitness" classes to their system, 4 the time being. I said, "Yeah, Power Yoga is Fitness if fitness means your whole life!" Oh well. It is what it is.
  • -The Dubuque Community YM/YWCA has been abandoned as of SAT./12.14.2013. Jill Scott's song "Slowly Surely" is thematic to Love Yoga: The Movement's practice location needs today.
  • P.S. A householder cannot be a yog, by definition. And history. And the truth about it today. Especially here (this country). The best you can do is live and practice within its teachings, like anything, and let your heart lead the way from there. I hope you do. It has produced too many miracles for me not to say so.
  • **DUBUQUELAND/THE WESTERN WORLD: Fair warning--though those involved have already been warned!--There are far more false yogs in this country than people truly on a path of self-knowledge and Truth. Oftentimes, "teachers" are not even certified. Please ensure that they know what the bejesus they're doing be4 running around saying you're practicing yoga. What it looks like, to any Eastern person, no matter how Americanized said person may be, is that there has been a hostile takeover of something ancient & sacred that belongs to US by a bunch of looney toon idiots who would happily bastardize something rich & powerful by making it insane & fraudulent--not to mention all-around ugly. Karma always doth cometh.**
  • ***M/6.2.2014: The Practice Of Love Trumps All Things--Dubuqueland/Iowa/Midwestern authentic peops who R in it to win it, I think you're about to see a practice schedule here in a healthy, sane setting that will lend itself to true connection, sans all the inhibiting forces, to help you become perfected in your physical-mental-emotional-soul-Source-thru-Earthness. As always. There are so many of you on the planet right now capable of so much Good. Develop yourself via will so long as U live.***
  • ****At long last! Starting M/JUNE 16, The Year 2014!!! NEW!--THE DUBUQUE ARBORETUM PAVILION (3800 Arboretum Drive, Dubuque, IA 52001, www.dubuquearboretum.com): $17 Drop-In (Cash Or Check For Now), $14 For (Bring Proof!) Students, First Responders, & Veterans. UPDATE! SU/6.22.2014: Love Yoga: The Movement has some Mega-Guardian Beings. Your 1st class is *GRATIS!* to help everyone experience this class. Additional Love Offerings are always welcome for both Love Yoga: The Movement & The Arboretum from The Movement. Feel free to ask about the Team/5-Or-More-Affiliated-People discount:
  • *Bring your own mat! Min. 4 per class! Payment will be taken, upon reception, before class. Sign-in will include signing off on an "I-take-full-responsibility-for-my-health-&-safety-during-this-practice" acknowledgement. We will change, flow, & adapt for the Good Of All as we go, so walk, run, 2-wheel, & carpool to class, & if this area is to become a home to a founding Love Yoga: The Movement shala, it will become a reality from here.*
  • -M/5:45-7:15P-The ORIGINAL Dubuqueland ALL LEVELS EXPERIENCE!--Ashtanga-Based, Santa Monica Power Yoga!
  • -W/5:45-7:15P-All Levels
  • -TH/10:30A-NOON-All Levels
  • *****And then, just like that, by the same treachery as always, life & Santa Monica Power Yoga evacuate the area due to fear & lack that characterize "normal" there. Ask current practitioners for the skinny, & read what happened in my writings below right. Love Yoga: The Movement has left the Dubuqueland area as of F/7.5.2014*****
  • ******MINNESOTA, I look forward to serving you, if nothing else, because I like the way you speak. I'm available for Personalized & on-site work, classes, workshops, & events in the Red Wing, MN area. Please contact EternalLove47@aol.com to schedule, including such learning experiences which require scheduling & travel. Gratitude.******
  • *******HMM...It's hard to serve Minnesota when you have to go back to Iowa & CONSIDER LEAVING THE COUNTRY because it's BUNK!!!*******
  • ********Tick tock, tick tock...Waiting for an impeccable space from which to teach the Power Within...SU/12.6.2015
  • *********W/JULY 20, 2016: Nothing like a 2 year pause button to teach from the mean streets in these times, fighting for my life and this Movement, in "crisis," with some spotty Personalizeds with shady aspirants, in the meantime. Meeting tomorrow, everyone. Downtown Dubuque, Iowa. SU/9.4.2016: Nobody's home so far, peops. Well--LOL--except me.
  • ~M/July 27th, The Year 2020: It is clear how much the country could use real, ancient methodologies through which one can Heal, stay in that lane, and consciously yoke one's will into alignment with God, but in the presence of too much Hell, all signs of Heaven leave the scene. In the meantime, please enjoy, and be enlightened by, these two remarkable women, out of NYC: "Yoga is Dead" Podcast on Spotify. Honestly, I'm glad I never opened up my own shala, in spite of everyone in the world saying I should, or that they wanted me to. 2006 could've been a good run, but for someone who wanted a career for my entire adult life, from a relatively boring, stable station in society, 2014, as an example, to present, is no lifelong path.
  • Howdy. I hope the Lessons about Vibration and Truth have served everyone since your last Handstand in class. I want you to know that my desire for a commensurate role in the empirical world has been real, but unmet, but I have not forgotten about you, and, in spite of everything, have remained grateful to the Teachers I selected to inform my Instruction, holding of this Movement, and practice and, of course, to the truly Beautiful souls who allowed me to touch their lives and help develop best practices and decision-making within them. I have thought about putting presence out on Social Media, for the 1st time, as well as a subscription-based Podcast, in addition to considering when, and where, I might ever feel safe to lead some rockin' asana and related experiences again. :) Let's watch the numbers, the racism affecting Asians in this country, end both, trust God, and continue to lead and exhibit merit, integrity, and nobility, with love, REGARDLESS OF THE EVIL THAT MAY SURROUND YOU. One Korea--I have fallen in Love with you during this pandemic!, and an end to the devastating poetry that is Russia's "Peacekeeping" Mission in Ukraine. Word to Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He reminds me of so many of you, at your best. It is time to show up for every noun you owe contribution to, as your Best self, and be Power Yoga, and the other spiritual traditions you hold sacred, outside of practice and worship. Wed./3.9.The Year 2022

Big Ups!

The City Of Dubuque's Citizen's (Police) Academy (Dubuque, IA)(2017)
Bored, stuck in Dubuque, waiting out the laying down of the Universal Hand, I followed up my Ride-Along last Fall with the 21st Annual C.A. for our city, thinking it was a big picture, 10-week, Thursday night class in City Operations and the role of Law Enforcement in quality of life. It was actually a course in policy, procedure, and hands-on learning experiences in Law Enforcement itself, complete with encouragement to get sprayed (OC-style--The pepper kind)(i.e. "It's just a spritzer!"), as well as another Ride-Along (on a different shift). An excellent, much appreciated immersion in yet another world untouched by my academic, holistic, spiritual, and worldly studies, perfectly timed in applicability to considerations in Business, Loss Prevention, my own shala, Law/Graduate School, and life experiences, in general, including those shared on this website with Law, Law Enforcement, and city infrastructures in this country.

The City Of Dubuque's/Human Rights Department's Intercultural Competency Leadership Training (Dubuque, IA)(2014)
At their request, so bravo to them, bravo to me. Provided presence, experience, background, & feedback, while simultaneously taking in, getting updated, refreshing past (academic & other) learning, & showing up to add Love Yoga: The Movement/Amy Jin flava to the current diversity-improving model that has already started infiltrating City Government, businesses, institutions of learning, & organizations of all kinds via rocking choice, recognizing a next step needing to be established in consciously evolving Dubuque's intolerant, ignorant, & bigoted past, setting an example for the world.

U can't get more enlightened than that! Amy Jin & Love Yoga: The Movement, both, support the development of enlightened human beings, a more conscious, intelligent society, and delighting in the enchantment of learning thru whatever excellent means necessary!
  • Brett Albarado***, fellow Light bringer, a former colleague at the horrifying Unity School of Christianity at Unity Village, MO (Red Wing, Minnesota): $ given in the truest spirit of tithing to this Movement.
  • Please note: All Love Offerers are listed with their permission. All who support The Movement R encouraged to receive due recognition and karma for their actions thru this section. Please be aware that there are also those listed who since have been terminated, in regard to their relationship to myself and/or Love Yoga: The Movement but, by my choice, will continue to be listed until I determine to axe all mention of them. As always, may all beings receive their due and righteous karma. As a Catholic schoolgirl, I learned it was once said, "Whatsoever U do to the least of my people, that U do unto me." It wasn't mentioned what would happen when U hurt or harm one of the most significant souls, or on that same token, help them, because it hopefully requires no explanation:
  • *Hmm-mm.
  • **On spiritual/psychic probation by Source. And by Source, not humans, because spiritual invasion or psychic stalking by other humans is not only creepy as crap but against Spiritual Law. Don't break any laws. Simply arm yourself with the truth, and do not stray from it.
  • ***Energy no longer allowed to affiliate with Love Yoga: The Movement. Period. Until further notice. S/6.7.2014: And until Wrong is made Right, where possible. I would, if I were you, but I am not. The question is, "Will U?"

The 2013 Honorable Love Offerers of Love Yoga: The Movement

  • Wal-Mart-Dubuque, my hometown's location of the American retail giant (Dubuque, Iowa): A gift certificate ($) to provide all-natural/organic food for the upcoming Ashtanga/Power Yoga Film Pow-Wow & to Love Yoga: The Movement, in general! Thanks to Jennifer, Cash Manager, for taking the time to hear my vision, the resistance to help by other Food & Grocery people in town, & taking about 3 seconds to respond enthusiastically that "Yes!" they'd help and "Thanks for all you're doing!" in a society where genuine gratitude is a rarity. Now, that's Power Yoga leadership. Way to step up to the mic, Wal-Mart!
  • Brett Albarado***, fellow Light bringer (Seer, Channel, Reader...), former colleague at the "The-Indigo-Children-Will-Need-2-Get-Their-Own-Movement!" Unity School of Christianity at Unity Village, MO, multi-purpose Maintenance Mechanic, vehicular healer, & an all-around amazing incarnate Angel (Red Wing, Minnesota): $$$ donated to Amy Jin, Love Yoga: The Movement, & the spread of wise, conscious, intelligent creation of the world's future, from ground up, as a celebration of the existence of universal love that transcends belief.
  • Monks Kaffee Pub* (Dubuque, Iowa): An original, A&E & consciousness-supporting concept on Bluff Love Offering the space and media equipment for our Love Yoga: The Movement May 26th Ashtanga/Santa Monica Power Yoga Film Pow-Wow & Satsang, giving everyone another home off our yoga mats!
  • Bill Finn, President of Scorpio Productions & one of the first "regular" Power Yoga practitioners in this area! (Dubuque, IA): For being the bridge that led to the connection for the event with Trish Feldman, Monks Kaffee Pub's awesome Co-Owner, who relayed, "They're TOTALLY excited to host it!" Music & chai officially makes the world go 'round.
  • David C. Moeller*, Lead Tech Coach for the Dubuque Community School District & dedicated, front-row practitioner in practice! (Dubuque, IA): $ given with gratitude, in class & with class, to Amy Jin & Love Yoga: The Movement for the spread of Is-ness on the planet.
  • Anonymous (4 now)!***, Food leader of the new paradigms represented by Love Yoga: The Movement (Dubuqueland, IA): $ generously given in faith to The Movement, exemplifying keeping one's word, leadership by example, the power of right alliance, & working positive karma in integrity. Cheers to alliances kept solid thru enlightenment & real effort on both sides. "Clean food" is also about chi. Think "U R what U eat."

The 2014 Love Offerers' Wall Of Celebration & Is-ness--

  • Brett Albarado***, Maintenance Mechanic, Aspiring Power Yogi!, & embodiment of Faith in the Truth (Red Wing, Minnesota): $ above & beyond the Suggested Love Offering for individualized work, as a way of giving & expressing love naturally & perfectly, & funding to help establish the 1st Tapas Workshop in this area as fact!
  • Frank Bonacci, one of a cast of all high-caliber professors chosen, but Amy Jin's 1st! English prof, at DePaul University, now a Grant-Writer, a certified teacher of Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, AND a steadfast practitioner of Love Yoga: The Movement's Work! (Schiller Park/Chicago, IL): $ in Scholarship & Love Offering toward the "LOVE YOGA: THE MOVEMENT’S VISION: On Life & Flow—The Tapas Of A Modern Day Yog/ini" Workshop & the continuation of brilliance all over the world, moving on inspiration, producing results, as dedication always does.
  • Wal-Mart-Dubuque (Dubuque, Iowa): Sadly, Jennifer's gone, but Wal-Mart has stepped up again this year to provide a little charitable $ love after our "On Life & Flow" Workshop, thanks to Karen K. & the Accounting crew! Eventually, I'd like all area businesses, big & small, on board with eco-friendly, happy, healthy reality-creation. Our Tapas couldn't be more needed or relevant today. A bow of gratitude to one of the only places whose prices I still trust on organic, all-natural, vegetarian sustenance.
  • The beautiful Dubuque Arboretum (Dubuque, Iowa): This venue, under the leadership of Sandi Helgerson, Executive Director, has offered a "supporting landlord" place (more like support that's otherworldly) to put Ashtanga-based, Santa Monica Power Yoga classes back on the map in Dubuqueland/the Midwest! after many months without a physical location to call "home." The magic, peace, and perfect partnering of this space--a strong presence & opportunity to experience natural beauty in the city for 33 years on volunteers alone--with the destiny of this Movement has infinite potential in both synergy and spark for both individuals and our nation.

2015 People Who "Get It"--Love Offerers Who Keep The Lights On!

  • Frank Bonacci, one of all high-caliber professors chosen, but Amy Jin's first English prof, at DePaul University, now an independent Grant Writer & seminar provider, with experience in grant-writing in Mental Health, a certified teacher of Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, & a steadfast practitioner of Love Yoga: The Movement & enlightenment on the planet (Schiller Park/Chicago, IL): $ funding safe spiritual refuge in 2015, in clearly hostile territory.
  • ...and many others who have stepped forward and have yet to claim recognition, representing Kansas City, Phoenix/Scottsdale, Dubuqueland, IA, & all the places you've gone to school, lived, worked, & called home before...You prove that there are everyday heroics--of all Races, nationalities, religious backgrounds, occupations, economic statuses, educational levels, etc.--being performed every day by "everyday citizens" that effectively battle that which hurts, harms, and takes innocent & important lives, with the kind of love we are all meant to give and receive. You are heart-blooming awesome and are literally changing my 2015 and the course of my life through the love you show, in the absence of all of those who were supposed to be there but turned to shadow, instead.

2016 Love Yoga: The Movement Backers Of The Year:

  • Frank Bonacci, one of all high-caliber professors chosen, & Amy Jin's first English prof at DePaul University in Chi-town, Grant seminar Trainer, certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher, in the lineage of Yogi Bhajan, & powerful practitioner of Love Yoga: The Movement's ideals & enlightenment on the planet (Schiller Park/Chicago, IL): $ & complete moral support, creating the gift of safe, spiritual sanctuary, again, which is becoming harder & harder to find. All the more reason to stand tall and staunchly in conviction that bases itself in the Truth. The existence of F.Bonacci should make all Italian(-American)s and Brazilian(-American)s proud of their peops.
  • ...as well as others in this (final) time of protected class refuge and bigger Decision. There are no words for trust met with solidity. My only demand is that it stop being the exception to the rule.

2017 Love Offerers To Love Yoga: The Movement!...:

  • Anonymous, L.A. native and positive connect of Amy Jin's and to Civil Rights leadership in the U.S. of A. (Kansas City, MO): "$100 in honor of Amy Jin Schmelzer to the Kenya Service Trip at Clarke College, Dubuque." $

Yea-yah, Congress Sit-In & Baby Boomers Finally Breaking Up Their Own Patterns!, Plus Violent Bigotry At The Peosta Quality Inn

      I was violently discriminated against out of 1 of my last safe places of refuge in this area Thursday, awakened peops, as I was literally about to get into practice--the apparently, massively broken Peosta Quality Inn (Peosta, Iowa), which is "going independent," which means they don't take accountability for their internal problems or mistakes, much less about 4 or 5 major amenities not working for over a week (One of my contacts in the area tells me it's been under major fire for the past year, which would explain my not knowing. I just know a guy died out there since I came back in April, said the paper).
      Then the interview (below) goes from geeked to bust, as well, during my litmus test, which is to wake up somewhere safe, for sure, the next morning(, thx to 2 of my most dedicated practitioners left), explain what I'm dealing with down here, then watch them go ghost, as well, again, proving my point on the weakening of the vast majority of "everyday" people in this country. I wanted to say "citizens," but I can't say that's primarily true anymore, which is a huge part of the problem.
      Read from the bottom up, as usual.
      And, in usual coincidence with global events, I turn on C-SPAN for an entire practice, in the background, now from my 3rd Extended Stay in 2 weeks, and I e-mail out, "I notice they keep referring to someone as 'Mr.Speaker' who's not Paul Ryan--? I break into tears when Rod Blum comes on. It seems to coincide to something I can feel happening in this country on my behalf, and it moves me to tears. Then, I notice how many Congress people step up to the mic who aren't pronouncing names right--or even using correct grammar. They, then, proceed to name Post Offices for over an hour--??!!!"
      I see today they've finally gone back to the roots of their generational contribution to this country, however, by doing a good ol' fashioned SIT-IN about the gun problem! I stood up & cheered from the foot of my hotel bed. WOOHOOOOOO!!!
      Here's the thing, though, on Omar Mateen, on things in general--the more selfish and unenlightened the majority of the bell curve stays, & the more they keep it that way, willfully and purposefully, as below, to everyone's detriment--mostly their own--the more off, based on lies, and stupid, confused, and horrifying everything gets.
      And, for those of us who simply can't go there, the more we leave this planet--with the coral reefs, the rainforests, the super-old trees that can't grow back like that after you cut them down, and the other beings in God's universe who abhor what has happened together and to the same degree.
      Therefore, thank God for Donald Trump bringing Business, for better of for worse, to the podium for everyone to think about, for being brave enough and forthcoming enough to call things for what they are so we can at least begin a dialogue based on people being honest. Only then can we decipher what's truly Right. Thank God for Hillary putting her nose to the grind to do what she feels she needs to do in this life. Humans do still have a margin of error, Bell Curve, even character-wise. This can change, but that is a collective and individual choice, both, & the treatment of this Movement shows where that's at--but it's not you, right? Everyone but you! Thank God for all of the rare people on this planet who are not only awake but who are overwhelmingly better people than they are not, from nature out. It is through such Witness that the world has a chance to 100% eradicate the criminals mentioned below.

      So the Super 8 here just told me $40/night for extended stay this morning. The gentleman who seemed very astute, experienced, & helpful said, though, that even though he "knows" that that is the rate, the only person who can lock it in is the Manager. The Manager, when just called, takes that way up. Interesting.
      He says to call the Motel 6 (We're now getting into places I normally wouldn't stay, period), where I asked about Extended Stay before I left & apparently made quite an impression on 1 of the main guys who works the Front Desk. He said he hoped I didn't think it was weird but he kept my number because I made such an impact on him. He said he'd tried to text me, actually, about my Power Yoga teaching (on my phone that broke/that I replaced when I landed in Overland Park), but that it never got thru. I explained what had happened. He said he felt I could help him quit drinking because he's made progress but "isn't there yet." I told him I'd let him know if I got classes back up & running. I told him I remembered how spiritually "awake" he was, for someone in this area. He wished me well, & then his Manager did the same thing. Stan Gudyma told (Add: 'me') he & his Co-Owner stayed there when they 1st came up from MO, for a summer, at $200/month. Bill Finn stayed at the Super 8 after devastation in 1 house, to the next, for about $25/night. We'll assume the latter situation was in off-peak time, but still.
      Some of the last options--the Econo Lodge in Peosta (Should be: 'Key West'). Sounded like an Indian-American gentleman, but can't be sure. He said he had availability but to go to the Glenview because it would fit my budget, which was even weirder still. I was always scared of the Glenview, from the outside, even if it was by the mall/J.F.K. (Note: I later realized it was a different place I'd looked at in previous years but kind of the same, off of Grandview). Anyway, I tried calling, & no one answers the phone.
      So it looks like I'm headed over to East Dubuque. Even though it's the same rate as the Super 8, a happy Indian-American Front Desk employee responded to my telling him the aforementioned & brought a higher rate down to something more digestible for Extended Stay. I would much rather support people who are kind and work within their allowable means to help people than people who exploit others when they've already been attacked.

This Is Bananas.

P.P.P.S. Most importantly, when I called back to Casey's in Peosta to tell them what happened & leave a message for the GM, 1 of the girls who works overnight was listening, & she said, "NO WAY--Was it Jackie? Was it Jackie?" I said, "The GM--" "What's a GM?" "The Manager and the woman who's originally from Texas--who actually was really nice to me earlier & heard about why I was there, but then she joined the demonic team." "Yeah, that's Jackie." Which was important because, amongst other things, when I was leaving on Thursday, before touching base with Captain Klein & the Peosta Police, the latter of which said, "That's a Civil matter. We're not getting involved." Yeah. Civil Rights matter, all right. Anyway, after getting my receipt, they both came back out from hiding? in the back, & I said, "What are your names?" They both started screaming at me to "GET OUT!" I said, "You're not even going to tell me your names--in case there is an investigation." "I'll call the police on you for trespassing!!! GET OFF MY PROPERTY!" "All right. I'll report that that's your answer when I've asked for the name of Management. I've already called the Department of Justice on you." Texas goes, "SOOOO WHAT." Is that a challenge? As I walked away, I heard the Manager say, which I could hear from the front door, "WHAT A BITCH!!!" I walked back to the Front Desk, "What did you just say?" "GET OUT!!!!!!" I nodded at her, as if tipping my hat, at her, "I'll have you shut down." So we can add "Gender" to the filing of my report, which is forthcoming.
      The overnight girl says, by phone, "Can I stop you for a minute?" "Sure, what?" "You know that that place has been under fire--bad--for like a year now, right?" "No! I was wondering what was going on. It's one of my favorite places in the area to stay." "The POOL--They've been in so much trouble--has been down for probably a year. Nothing works, and they never fix anything. They can't keep a Manager. I don't even know who the Manager is now. It's just like you're saying--It's because they have no standards."
      Or class.
      So jail time for discovered acts of bigotry in workplace settings is my latest idea in the past day or so--which would result in similar increased penalties in, say, public accommodation. Time to get serious about where this is taking us, if it continues.

      Thx to Bill Finn, Prez of Scorpio Productions, by the way, on the evacuation help, subsequent tour of more "enlightened"--?--businesses & spaces trying to do their thing in Dubuque, & helping to get me here for the last 2 days.

Peace.

"this"

P.S. There was a massive surrender/letting it all go yesterday, on my part, before having an instant & awesome connection with the GM at that new store late last night. She stated an interest in getting me in to interview "early this week." And it's a "she", for once, with an IT background from Cedar Rapids, one of Iowa's cities even larger than Dubuque, though she, too, is a native Dubuquer.

P.P.S. Got to see the new occupancy in the Caradco building my students at the YM/YW had been pressing me to open up in. The woman holding down the fort in Namaste Athleisurewear(!) heard what had just happened in Peosta/in general on my path & looked horrified! She's from D-port/the Quad Cities, though (Again, 1 of our bigger cities in the state). She said she hoped to leave here in a yr. after her son graduates from h.s. I hear that type of thing from a lot of people, but I looked at her like, "We'll see. Maybe there'd be a reason to stay."

      I called the relatively new? Casey's General Store next door in Peosta who I had spoken with after hearing from Rochester, before the violence done to my life on Thursday, who had interest in helping me get going here. I was told that, essentially, the offer that bombed with 7-ELEVEN was needed over at their new location in Dubuque, ironically near 2 places who had once looked to sign me on as a Yog but later bombed. Regardless, it may be a good location to run into magnetized students.
      I already checked their corp. website, as well as others for businesses represented in the area, & there's nothing in my field/that match.
      Thus, in not hearing back from Rochester yesterday after letting my contact know what was happening down here, I can only assume that they'd be as guilty OR that interview confirmation is forthcoming.
      Let me know of your support in getting Love Yoga: The Movement up & running.
      I have cancelled my plans to MN, for now, & will be landing at another Extended Stay for several days, with a surprise nod to help with transportation from the Schlam-Dad.
      I need to get my 125 back on the road & need someone with the vehicle to do so to help me take it down to Smith (Cycle). If you can help with thos, let me know a.s.a.p. Thx.

Metta & Gratitude~

      For those who didn't receive this update, read from bottom up.
      I am launching a Love Offering campaign to fight for my rightful place back in this society, starting with about $750 (Not much, but not when you're persecuted and materially left for dead) needed to get up to Rochester, starting tomorrow, and stay there for a week.
      I will cancel the (budget!) hotel I've booked if someone can step forward with solid contacts &/or places I can stay to potentially go through 3 interviews, possibly in 1 day, possibly over many--They've said they'll make accommodations given the situation.
      Should I receive a spot on the Korean-American Adoptee "First Trip Home" trip I've just successfully completed the interview for, that trip would happen this Fall for 10 days, & I will be trying to raise money for the airfare, also, via one campaign or another.
      If you can help with either of these missions on my Mission to spread enlightenment and intelligence on this planet, or know people you could ask who would, let me know today or in coming days. Thank you!

      I just got pushed out of my reservation by the Owner, who's been avoiding me, about multiple amenities not working in this hotel, including phones. I brought up that I didn't have another place to go, which is why I was here, due to widespread discrimination against my person, which I'd already talked to/had help sending forms from their Front Desk (who were nice!) on, & she said, "I am NOT going to argue about this! You will NOT be comp'd ANYTHING--You're already getting a rate they weren't supposed to give you!!! You need to leave immediately. I'll not have you THREATENING discrimination on me! Or I'll call the police!!!"
      I just called the Human Rights Dept. & will be going to the police myself now. This is a nightmare. It's everywhere.
      She's trying to say I was "yelling" at her in front of customers after I came out to address her after she'd pushed me out of my reservation, now extended thru Sunday, and said she'd take no accountability or even apologize for everything being broken.
      There's no one here, but me, to yell in front of.
      One of my practitioners is here to at least get me away from here.
      This is a nightmare. It is all repeats of my own adoptive family. This is Weston Point all over again.

      The update is that by the benevolence of the universe, as channeled through Sir Frank Bonacci in the Chi, I am now extended to stay at this Q Inn in Peosta through Sunday. Out of the new wave of applications/interest that went out yesterday was a seemingly random Resume send to this "face-to-face" Direct Marketing company up in Rochester. I've asked for a description of exactly what their hierarchy & this type of Marketing entails. 3 rounds of interviews, the last 2 more formal, but it has to be in-person.
      I woke up to their interest this morning, & given the situation, she said she would expect they'd do all 3 rounds within days, if not the same day (She's seen it before), but in Rochester anytime I'm ready & willing in the next week or so.
      Does anyone have contacts I could stay with, then, next week, preferably seamlessly from here? Or does anyone want to Love Offer a stay/the rental car up there?
      I'm doing some research on them first. I've gone above & beyond for other employers & interviews, only to have them flake or show no commitment whatsoever. I won't do that again.

      And I have been trying for years to find a true Marketing role back that would help me power my (Ashtanga-based/consciousness) Movement, and I love Rochester and Minneapolis/St.Paul, so let me do some checking about connections I may have in that area to stay with or figure that part out logistically.
      I have been gone for a while, but, after talking to some of my fellow athletes/classmates from DePaul for the 1st time since graduation!, in the last few weeks, mostly in Finance in Chicago, Boston, & overseas, I can only imagine what my reintegration in the Business World would do since my clarity and leadership have been used solely to purvey spiritual, healing-related, and moral causes. I bring that integrity to any work I do, including Marketing.
      Also, I go by "Amy Jin"--my 1st & Middle--as my 1st, as a preference!

Good Morning Amy!

It was so great speaking with you today.

After talking with you and reading a little bit more about you, you have a very driven mentality that I would like my hiring manager to see.

Please check out our website and let me know if you would like to know a little bit more.

Have a great day!

Tryst

Sometimes u got me feelin' like feelin' like I's high as high as a kite. Sometimes I's feelin' like sticky licky fingers in a can o' peanut butter and u gotta know better than this.

To take advantage of me's a tryst. U's usin' me 4 her. Her *****, her calm. It's the smile in my demeanor. I got u figured out.

I can't begin to tell u how to move, how to make it betta. Her personality's vexing--sure 'nuff is--& I think it's time u made her your world, or for once,
u gonna get kicked to the curb.

Now's the time for feelin' good. How 'bout u say what u feel(in').

I want you. That's what the point is. As piercing as it might be, you can feel it in your heart, can't u, Boo? Pretty ain't as pretty when it's covered in the aftershocks of your hos/fire and ice. In your head. Your jones for her, instead. Your moans. Emotions can't be played with when they's locked up in your head.

Here's the big picture: U want her, go get her. Feel me? Have no fear, & do it. Go get her. Be a prisoner no more. I tell u, it ain't worth fear. The shark underwater. The fierce pirate's been stealin' your loot, & it's u. Why u bein' severe about it? Pressure-free. Feel u? Feel me?

Peace.

How can u say it ain't a peace thang. Your life's been tied down to nothing-ness since the day u met her. U don't sweat her. There. There's the matrimony. Dutifully. Please believe. In yourself. For once. Go and get her.

A-men. There's the prayer part of you. Puttin' it out there slow enough for truth-tellers to command something new. U think, like a messenger, it ain't ancient teachings I was sent to you? Put u in your new place, space for makin' a blazing choice. A "hi" "how u doin'" half a million dollar smile might work nice.

Best be spendin' those pennies. I like to see you spendin'. Prisoner no more, we've done better, I'm sure. At least u got to steppin' those feet in the right direction. And can't any diversion keep those feet from crossin' the threshhold to the new me, the new u.

Free at last. Free at last.

Thank Goddess & Buddha I'm libertad'd from u. You hunk a' monkey bread. Junkin' me up instead of practicin' what u got. It's sweet love. Sweetness and freedom that's been sent from above. Dios. Thank Dios. Apprecios mi pretty prose so at last I can feel my emptiness.

You got it. A prophet.

A harnesser.

A tryst.

It's over. Be at peace now.

We's complete.

U'r on your path.

And I worship you no more. Nirvana.

Me. So free. I'm back in paradise.
