PENINSULA WOMAN: Nurturing the seeds of happiness

PORT ANGELES — Dale Holiday has traveled far, in body and spirit, from her south New Jersey birthplace.

Her most exotic foray, though, was to the land where “gross national happiness” is monitored, measured and striven for: In spring 2010, she found herself a job as a consultant in Bhutan, the Switzerland-size country bordered by China and India.

Holiday holds degrees in environmental planning, community planning, psychology and sociology, and her current job is with Clallam County Health and Human Services as a substance abuse prevention specialist.

It might not seem obvious how a month in
Bhutan relates to life in Port Angeles. But Holiday says the trip, while more than a year ago now, continues to enrich her days. Not that it was Shangri-La — she worked in the capital city of Thimpu, where poverty and alcohol abuse are among the problems — but rather that her colleagues there also became friends. They reminded her that life’s sweetness lies in simplicity.

This Independence Day, Holiday is reflecting anew on her Bhutanese experience and on her life as an African American woman.

And in a high point in her career, she has an article about her work in Thimpu in the July issue of Planning magazine, the American Planning Association’s flagship publication with a circulation of 60,000.

In “An Interlude in the Himalayas,” Holiday writes of the gross national happiness idea, something the Bhutanese consider an exceedingly important form of wealth.

“The GNH concept is based on the premise,” she notes, “that human society advances when material and spiritual development occur side by side.”

In Bhutan, Holiday met Geley Norbu, Thimpu’s chief city planner; they have stayed in touch, and he sent her his recent paper, “Urban Planning and Happiness,” which explores how rampant economic development without regard for people’s well-being can result in injustice, such as huge homes for some while others have substandard shelter, or fancier cars for commutes that take time away from family and friends.

“Bhutan is literally on the other side of the world from my home on the North Olympic Peninsula,” Holiday writes. Yet there are striking similarities: rural landscapes, sensitive lands, and, she says, a “struggling economy with a bias toward development.

I'm A lover Of Powerfully Strong, Ripped, Muscular Women!!!!!!: A ...

Most of the stories I like to write about, are married men who have sexual fantasies about theie wives becoming big, ripped, and very muscular amazon women. In my stories, when their wives agree to do it, and after working out building themselves up into super strong muscular women, their husband's sexual fantasies usually turn into a nightmare of now being the weaker sex, while their very strong ripped, muscular wives dominat the hell out of them!!!!!!!!!!! After Jane pulled her black Hummer H3 into an open garage behind an old abandon warehouse, she the turned off the motor while closing the garage door with a remote control. Then she turned to face the passenger seat, where a very scared and very frightened, still blind folded Nancy sat. "OK Nancy we are here!" Jane said sounding sounding very cheerful. Then after untying Nancy's blind fold, Jane escorted Nancy to an elevator, and after they entered it the door closed, then Jane pushed the button to a sub-terrain basement, after the elevator traveled down to the sub-terrain basement which was over 300 feet below the surface, when the elevator doors opened up, Nancy wasn't prepared for, and she couldn't believe her eyes and what she saw!........To the left of the elevator, there was a huge windowless room with the walls covered in stainless steel. In this huge stainless steel room, there were extremely fancy, state of the art, work out equipment, that were all being used by very freakishly, unbelievable huge, ripped, muscular women!  These huge freakishly, gigantic women all seemed to be moving in some sort of a hypnotic trance, as they did their sets of reps on each of the state of the art work out equipment, then when a bell went off, each of these super muscular women moved over to the next exercise machine. To Nancy, it almost seemed like an assembly line to build up women's bodies, and that Jane was building an army of super strong, hugely muscular women. Nancy was very mesmerized watching these women's muscles grow with each and every rep they did!........Jane got Nancy's attention back, as she said; "OK Nancy, please follow me to the room on the right." Then Jane led Nancy into a room, that looked half like a doctor's examination room, and half like a laboratory. The first thing Jane did, was make Nancy strip down to her panties, to give her a complete physical examination.
