About Me:
I'm Armila. Family and friends call me Mila. Welcome to my little oasis! Thank you for popping over.
Discovered zaadz from a link at Social Edge. It's great to be a part of the gaia zaadz social revolution, to grow together with you all in self-awareness and love, co-creating higher consciousness.
Am an adventurer (aren't we all?), travel enthusiast, idealist, dreamer, a yoga practitioner, a wife and homemaker, a mother, a cancer survivor, and a social and business entrepreneur.
I embrace change whenever and as often as it happens in my life. I've been an avid traveler since 1977 which I believe has deeply enriched my life. Born in the Philippines, I worked with the government and the private sector then uprooted myself when marriage and the spirit and energy of Kathmandu beckoned.
Am now living with my husband Megh and our son Milind. Left the 9-5 work routine in 2005, thankfully, and set up our social and business enterprise Phelge Nepal Pvt Ltd to promote, along ethical principles, fine quality crafts of Nepal using natural materials, hand processing skills passed down through generations, and clean technologies.

Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly…
Suddenly I awoke…
Now, I do not know whether I was then a man
dreaming I was a butterfly,
or whether I am now a butterfly
dreaming that I am a man. ~ Chuang Tzu
I slept, and dreamt that life was joy.
I awoke and saw that life was service.
I acted and beheld that service was joy.
~ Rabindranath Tagore
For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this featherbed of civilization, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.~ Robert Louis Stevenson
In the faces of men and women I see God.~ Walt Whitman
We love, that's why life is full of so many wonderful gifts.~ Rumi
You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back.~ Barbara De Angelis
The way to the heart is to follow your own! ~ Happy Feet, the film
When we love, it is not necessary to understand what is happening outside, because everything happens inside us instead. ~ Paolo Coelho
Each day's dawn is a sweet symphony and as long as I hear the music my dreams will have to die another day. ~ Eric Walton
Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got.~ Janis Joplin
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic.~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. ~ Helen Keller
Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I am permitted to hold for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul. Reason ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction! Since you are a breath in God's sphere, and a leaf in God's forest, you too should rest in reason and move in passion.~ Khalil Gibran
Live to learn … forget … and learn again.~ Aristide Briand
Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.~ Anais Nin
Criticize by creating. ~ Michaelangelo
The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. ~ e.e.cummings
Not knowing when the dawn will come, I open every door.~ Emily Dickinson
My Tarot Card: You are The Lovers
Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and impulse.
The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.
Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that's actually more apt than “Lovers.” Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that the you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.

MY ANIMAL MEDICINE READINGS
(Thanks to Dana)
ON MARRIAGE
Grouse is a wonderful little bird who does the spiral dance. Natives called it the Sacred Spiral, and it is a dancing meditation for the Native people. Grouse wants to show you your dance and the sacred connection between all things. Walking or dancing will put you back in touch with Mother Earth and your body. Grouse may then teach you how to notice the energy flows that put you in harmony and balance with body, mind, and spirit. She is calling you to dance your way through this situation and see the connectedness of everything.
ON PARENTING
Fox medicine has the gift of camouflage. Fox can blend into the woodlands and meld into his surroundings in a beautiful way. He can observe others' activities unnoticed, which is a powerful gift. Fox is the protector of his family unit. If danger arises, he is johnny-on-the-spot. He keeps the family together and safe. If fox has chosen to share his medicine with you, it is a sign that you are to become like the wind, which is unseen yet is able to weave into and through any location or situation. You are wise at this time to observe the acts of others instead of their words. Use your cunning nature in a positive way; keep silent about what and who and why you are observing.
ON BUSINESS
Mouse is a sweet little thing that will help you with details and organization. Every detail carries weight, and when you look only at the end result, you cannot take your project one step at a time. Mouse will help you see the steps. Take little nibbles consistently and your work will be complete!
