Awareness and gratitude are powerful gifts.
So true as I enjoyed creating baked stuffed lobsters w my husband and zooming w my boys on this unusual Thanksgiving. I’ve known always, as a little girl receiving physical therapy at a CP clinic, that life always can be worse. I could walk and only wore a leg brace sporadically and didn’t struggle as much as the children who were wheelchair-bound and had cognitive disabilities. I walked funny (still do lol) and fell down a lot (still trip over my weaker right foot too). Gratitude is a practice and often I express my “Gratitude Beatitudes” for small and big things to remind myself that life always can be worse than it is or appears to be.
Our Circle of Light reinforces my gratitude for our various empathic gifts, the awareness that truly we’re never alone, that all of us suffer in some way, and that we all need community support to strengthen our resolve and help to find solutions and/or acceptance of what is.
This time, for me, feels more sacred than others in recent memory and, of course, more meaningful as we cherish and protect our democracy, our ability to lift up others, and the humility to ask for help from the highest realm. I’ve struggled always in asking for help after a lifetime of emotional abandonment by a parent so our meditations help to remove this isolating stigma.
I’m grateful and at peace, both yesterday and today. The sun is shining brightly again and the rain-soaked remaining leaves are glistening. They are stubborn... these leaves that refuse to fall (much to the chagrin of my husband who wants to be done raking). I always look to the trees for their strength and growth. Their bare majesty is as vital to living as is their full foliage.
Cheers to Life, Everyone ???
A beautiful beautiful reply from a real honest to gratefulness earth angel.
Loved your sharing with all my heart and you. Please text in your earthly names everyone during our take off and zoom into the ethers events.
Many of us need name reminders of all kinds. As Jeanne as so bravely volunteered, she does not remember names and besides her one-eye-at-a-time then trying to merge special gift of seeing but not always reading or remembering names etc.
(Let's just she's knows me here since the almost beginning of this version of her blog/site/website.com presence. And three times during our energy/ prayers/ blessing circle i went into my radiant gratitude to all of you circle of light as "MICHAEL"." But it was awesome in all ways ?
I loved it as I once did truly flap my wings during energy healings over many years until I transmuted more efficiently and far far less dramatically ? ??
I cheer for you, your learnings, teachings and gifts to all ?????
Love your presence here, there, and everywhere! And my gifted otherwise known by the non evolved as issues or problems are discussed and demonstrated here, there and everywhere as well, my dear friends. ???
And:
Awareness and gratitude are powerful gifts.

In true transparency, we pulled a freezer burned turkey dated 2018. My husband did an awesome job of dry brining it and it created a spectacular presentation. 21 lbs worth for a dining table for 2 complete with my own sewing creations of placemats, hot pads, and cloth napkins .
We cooked full-on side dishes too! We poured gravy over our beautiful slices of moisture turkey to the full on (neither of us wanting to say it first) taste of old turkey reminiscent of old ice cubes freezer smell and taste. But we ate what we had our our lovely plate filled feast.
And our cats and chickens shall feast for a week if not a month on the remains. As will, I am sure, every stray, feral cat or raccoon or dogs who come out in packs here at night or the coyotes who have tried and been thwarted by yours truly clanging pot lids and screaming like a banshee in the dead of night to chase the dogs and coyotes only from trying to break into our chicken coop.
So more grateful animals than those lacking in the animal kingdom!
And dear husband and I are laughing and pulling out our Christmas ham to thaw today. We shaw feast on and on!

Sounds like you all had a 'peaceful' day in spite of the general atmosphere...?️
I just decided to save a turkey, and made chili instead lols.... everyone still in lockdown here and it's a little boring. Spent the day being grateful... and meditating on Indigenous People's day. I often wonder how our country as it is would have evolved in another direction if the trusting Native ancestors had run the other way when confronted with the Pilgrims. Hmm, there's a thought.
So, this morning I awoke with a yen for the simple joy of ...a hot fudge sundae. It was irresistible, so I pulled on my Icebugs (cleats on the soles) and trudged over to the little local store thru ankle-deep snow. It's a beautiful sunshiny day, and the fresh mountain is so good...
Just so thankful for the simple things of this life, like being able to still hike through the snow even on one leg and an infernal prosthetic... it's just good to be alive.
That's something we can all be grateful for, and looking ahead to our future and all the exciting new changes.... ?
Fabulous wonderful post! So grateful for all of your openings and freely sharing! Means so much to this community in more way than any of you know .Blessings abound and so grateful for youhere!! I ? you !

This Spirit has been drifting in and out of my peripheral vision today.... maybe Lennon's trying to get a message out, a reminder of how far ahead he was in being a harbinger for the Aquarian Age that he so embodied during his too preciously short time with us....
'Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try...
No hell below us...above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today...
Imagine there's no country, it isn't hard to do...
Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too..
Imagine all the people living life in peace,
You
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one,
I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one...
Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger, a brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people sharing all the world...
You
You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...
I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one '

That brought tears to my eyes! Such beautiful beautiful words and incredible energies of such depths of meaning.
Some losses reverberate forever in song. He was one of those truly special spirits to this world. His gifts last forever and music is magical.
A gift of a visitation and one now from you to all here who understand ?
A harbinger indeed.

Thank you for your post. You are very wise and kind. I don’t really know what my gifts are that led me here.
I spent many years studying and in lay ministry in the United Methodist Church and working as staff in the church. I no longer attend church but think more spiritually since I left. Bible verses and stories often come to me as a way of responding to things.
I had a reading one time about 28 years ago. The lady was gifted, she told me things she could not have known about me. She held my hands and said “You are shot though with spirituality”. So I must have some kind of gift. Sometimes I feel like a conduit. I hope to figure it out as time goes on.
And that is exactly how it comes to be and how it works. Journeys and paths seem to be almost in our DNA. One day you will just realize everything you loved being and doing and all of the challenges and strange things that happened along the way mesh and make sense even when they never did before.
People come and go in our lives but many are important pieces. If you don't make 1 choice others come along and still lead to the same place but by a different route.
It will come on its own but being receptive and always learning more about absolutely everything that interests you or draws you helps speed it up.
Gifts aren't obvious things they are multi-faceted and layered but often seem very simple on the surface and very deep and powerful within their depths.

Lunar eclipse full moon November 2020: Beaver moon coming Monday
"Just before sunrise, the final lunar eclipse of the year will occur as the moon passes through the outer part of Earth's shadow. And it's not just any moon – it's the full "beaver moon" shimmering above.
The November moon got its name for the time of year when beavers scurried to their shelters ahead of winter, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac. It was also the season to trap beavers for their thick pelts during the fur trade, the Almanac notes.
The last astronomical event of November will be a penumbral lunar eclipse, similar to the eclipse that took place in early July in North America."
This should be a powerful opportunity for our Monday "Circle of Light Meduation"!
See you all later!
It's interesting that along with the Sagittarius/Gemini Eclipse energy, there's a distinct Venus/Scorpio opposition to Uranus/Taurus R ~~
Sizzle, sizzle of a live wire ⚡
Things should calm down a bit gradually in this next couple of weeks, and then ... the New Moon Eclipse ... Next? ???
❄️☃️❄️
Wow~I love that you are so exquisitely knowledgeable! I've missed all of the astrologers we once had here!
The moon itself was so extraordinarily bright that I could barely look into its depths, I had to look slightly to the sides and around and focus on all the petals of the (almost as bright) Flower of Life that encircled it. They were so perfect!
It was extraordinarily radiant and deep and lower in our night sky than I had expected. I was hypnotized and had to pull myself away.
Between that and our own Monday Circle of Light Meditation, (where I allowed myself to go into deep trance) where this world left me so I could bring my own need of the healing world in. I slept for 2 sets of three hours last night I hadn't gotten six hours of combined sleep in over 20 years. Seriously. They both helped me when I truly needed them.
I ever so gratefully appreciated that. Those of you who can easily sleep cannot imagine those of us who feel way too much and cannot. The shadow side of my gifts for me. I welcome a lessening in that dark gift trust me. ?
"Next---" ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
I've been strapped into my rocket ship for so long that I'm not sure how I'll walk without dragging it along. I think you have, as well, dear one from the feels of it.
'Onwards and upwards' I say Captain ! ! ! Let the new world and light and peace in!

Our Circle of Light will meet Monday on this most sacred solstice in 800 years.
For millennia, in ancient times and for many today, the winter solstice has been the holiest night of the year. Certainly it kicks off the holidays all over the world even though different people hold different meanings for this week.
And Solstice 2020 may be the most important solstice in 800 years! According to an astrologer friend Judy Tsafrir I trust (who is also an MD holistic psychiatrist), "It is the meeting of the two largest planets in our solar system in the sign of Aquarius, marking the beginning and ending of long cycles, and historically correlating with seismic political, socio-economic shifts. An old world is dying and a new one is being born."
The last time Jupiter and Saturn were visible in such close proximity to each other was in March, 1226.
There is no accident that this Solstice follows the end of the darkest presidency in our nation's history - that ended just a week ago with the Electoral College. It also follows one of the most difficult years for many around the world.
Aquarius is the sign of higher mind, higher consciousness, and light. We now have a chance to evolve to a higher level.
Come to our Monday Night Meditation at 4 pm Pacific/7 pm Eastern Monday night!

@jeanne-mayell I just set my alarm for 1am my time and I will be there! This is too important to miss! I feel especially grateful and optimistic after having my birthday wish of the electoral college vote going off without a hitch come true with the added cherry on top of Barr leaving. We need to keep the good energy going and get this new age started. See you all there!
@jeanne-mayell. I would love to attend but am working. I will send light and gratitude and expectations of the highest and best in our new year and new Age!
