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.... ?

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.
