Not a unicorn Barfing Rainbows. Yes with Accessibility Awareness EVERY Day

RantWoman is hereby observing Global Accessibility Awareness Day #GAAD2020. WHO CARES that RantWoman is grabbing the first business day in the week after the actual event: global accessibility awareness day needs to happen every day anyway! Who CARES that part of RantWoman's inspiration to celebrate comes quaintly  tied to the word podcast and straight to her ears through that so last century device the FM radio and her local public radio station.

Anyone who thinks the title of this post is COMPLETELY inappropriate, please bear with RantWoman or go find another post with a title more to your taste. The title CRACKS RantWoman up AND it worked to get RantWoman at least to try to take another look at the whole mindfulness thing and then by extension to the contagiousness of other approaches to managing one's spiritual compost heap. Whatever works?

,RantWoman is seasoning some points of time and ages and how to use and take care of gifts, abundance. God has a weird sense of humor.

RantWoman, try online meditation courses.
Ummmm, RantWoman has PLENTY of media streams already and just mindlessly adding more is NOT the point.

Try therapy:
RantWoman has a GREAT therapist.

Great therapist is currently struggling herself to learn various online practice options. And Great Therapist has a problem child client who has been doing what problem child client does rather more frequently than she likes: almost every time RantWoman encounters software in a new realm, she winds up asking a whole bunch of accessibility-related questions, and spending time stepping through websites looking for something anything related to promises about #a11y, say on home pages. To be fair, MUCH has improved as the use of mobile devices with built-in accessibility options has expanded. But gripes above the "medium sucky" level frequently tempt RantWoman to say "You have problems. Hire me to help you fix them, in this case to the Vendor, NOT to the practitioner. See RantWoman thinks, in TeleHealth software as in tools small nonprofits use to streamline, that the customer should NOT have to know very much about accessibility to be able to evaluate information provided by the vendor. And in the meantime, there is free consulting and there is figuring out paths for billing!

Try Lust:
RantWoman has been going around admitted to selected trusted people in her circle that romance and even scandalous romantic entanglement could be lovely.

God has a twisted sense of humor. Consider LUST, and LUST in a much too scandalous direction.


Try mindfulness / podcasting.
Thank you Good Morning America Saturday host Dan Harris who has written a book called 10% Happier and who has a podcast by the same title.

Paraphrasing a comment from a recent radio interview, "It's not like I'm some unicorn barfing rainbows...the mindfulness does not keep me from ... but it does help me step back and not get controlled by it."

Did someone say "not some unicorn barfing rainbows????" One of RantWoman's #WeirdQuakerConfessions is that too much mindfulness makes her want to punch someone.

Ahh, but RantWoman, that just means you need MORE mindfulness!

NO! RantWoman needs more alertness than average for a number of circumstances and if we are lucky, the phrase "unicorn barfing rainbows" will make RantWoman laugh hard enough to translate to "Oh, like Peter in the new testament. (Darned if RantWoman has a citation off the top of her head)

Along with mindfulness comes Loving kindness practices.

May ...be well and safe and ...

But there's LUST!

Okay, Begin again now. And Don't forget to hit the Sleep button on the talking book player so you don't spend ll night trying to absorb mindfulness when you need to be sleeping.
