I just want to give my thanks to everyone here who prayed for me about a month or so ago.
Thank you whoever it was who also told me that spirit was telling me to drink more water. I needed to hear that because my bowels were getting in a bad way due to the motility problems I have, and some extra water has helped this a little. I am now keeping a closer eye on this thank you.
I've also been doing a lot of soul searching and prayer and I conclude that this place is contributing to my spiritual growth.
Don't get me wrong, I still have ups and downs, but I am learning to ride them out.
The feeling I get about this place, is we are all here to help make the changes and pave the way forward for Earth's future. The way we touch people's lives does this. We are showing there is hope and there is another way. We may not solve all issues in life, but collectively there is such a vibrant and loving spirit here. This community is the example of what the future of the Earth can look like. Nobody is alone, and nobody has to be. Love and light is here all around and we have to realise it's there for each and everyone.
Your strength gives me strength, and collectively this has so much power.
What a beautifully written message you have shared with us all. As I read it my head tingled which is usually a message to me from spirit to either pay attention to something or that there is truth to what is being said or thought. They used to be rare signals given to me but I have noticed those "tingles" a bit more often lately.
I have also had similar thoughts as you regarding this community and our purpose.

You are not alone in feeling this way. Thank you for expressing it so well.
Same here - that message gave me a warm, excited feeling in my solar plexus. Usually a sign for me to pay attention - it resonated deeply. You said it so eloquently and I feel the same as you both said about this community. A special place, indeed, teaching us how to support each other now and be an example (with lived experience through our connection in this community) for others later. It is not only special, but an important part of our work together.
I'm not a hugger normally but I am sending you a very warm and comforting
hug.
I agree with everything you wrote. This is a place of gentle acceptance.
For me, it is a place of friendship. You are my friends , even though we have never met in person. I feel uplifted and supported and special here. Every night I visit my friends and it is a beautiful way to end each day.
In this space I am not strange, or wrong, or defective. I am loved.
Wow, I am glad my message really resonated. It was from the heart.
Let us all continue to send love and light to all those who need our prayers. ?
@dannyboy I’m just now reading this. I will send my prayers in your friends direction and ask for healing and light. My heart has been breaking for everyone. It seems horrible news is everywhere. We can and will support and love each other through everything that we can. We are better together. Prayers and peace ☮️
I was able to help get a meal train going for the family, which over succeeded and now has three square meals a day being delivered to them through April 20th. Another friend was able to get a GoFundMe together which raised the entire $15,000 and still growing in less than 24 hours. The family is loved and I’m glad to see so many people taking care of them. They aren’t completely out of the woods (the entire family has COVID right now and so they’re quarantined and unable to make arrangements in person) but they’ll be well cared for in the interim.
Thank you for the prayers for them. They’re just beautiful people and I’m so sad that they were misled so drastically about COVID, the vaccines, the risk - all of it.
Yes, it is tragic and the consequences are so painful.
The meal train you helped organize will be a blessing right now with everyone being sick. We can all keep the family in our continued prayers. The Gofund me will be helpful and lift some of the burden. The arts community ( dance, theatre, music, band) is used to working as a team to get things accomplished for a common goal. I can't think of a better "family" to be apart of to help them get through this time.
More good will come.
@dannyboy so sorry to read about your loss. Losing somebody to any illness is devastating, but Covid feels especially unfair. It feels preventable. If only everybody would protect each other. My heart goes out for you and her loved ones. Strength to all to get through this wave of pain. Stay strong. ❤️
Also, shudders for reading that they dubbed a conservative community Dutch, when The Netherlands are quite liberal and secular. Hope the light will shine on them.
@lovendures thank you for the prayers for all of us in the paths of the supercell outbreaks. The one that came through my sector was an EF-1 - passed overhead and touched down 3 miles away from me and traveled several miles before it was over. Other than power loss and the death of the transformer on the power pole that caused a huge power surge that took out my washing machine, the cats water fountain and zapped my DIL with a shock ( she had her iphone on a charger and it POPPED and " bit") and no power for a day and a half we fared well enough. Many were not so lucky here and we are pulling together to feed and house one another. An E-4 took out the historic district and more in Newnan , Ga. The one here originated in Alabama and traveled 220 miles. Alabama was hit harder than with more tornadoes. We had those 2. Having lived her all my life I can tell you- these storms are intensifying in frequency and strength, a direct result of climate change. I think hurricane season will also be rough this year! All prayers appreciated and we MUST heal our planet... if we don't Mother Earth will handle it herself ( read about the fertility rates by 2045)
Very happy to hear you made it out ok from the super cell/tornado out break.
That sounds a little to close for comfort.
@lovendures it was too close for comfort for sure!! My 16 year old puppers has storm phobia and separation anxiety (induced by aging and having me home 24/7/365 because of covid-19) I left her for two hours yesterday to do laundry at a friends house ,who also follows protocols of masking up and social distancing etc) and even tho I left her music playing for her and the 4 cats who love and adore her and look out for her (and all are indoor babies) she became agitated by my absence. When I came home she was exhibiting symptoms of a tia/stroke/old dog vestibular syndrome. Ran her in to the clinic I worked at before covid caused retirement. She was treated with injections and came home with oral meds and is back to herself today ... so many prayers were answered. Her time is not yet up here... and I am treasuring our bonus time together. I truly appreciate all the love and support of this community.
@dannyboy oh dannyboy - so very sorry for the loss of such a special person to you. Holding space as you and family and community mourn your losses. I have lost too many to this disease...we all have or know those who have. With the exception of a notable few... this nation is grieving. I pray the Comforter come to us all as we face these challenges ahead and rise to the call for action and healing. ???????
@luminous, your beautiful message deeply resonated with me. The attached song makes me think of the special connection we all share. It's a safe, sacred place, with room for each of us to heal, find peace and thrive. And as the song suggests, if we need a helping hand, all we need to do is ask. Thank you for your love and support, my friends.

I'm glad it resonated because I believe everyone that is here on this forum has found their way here for a reason.
I believe we are lightworkers in each our own way. We are spreading the love and light through our lives and showing others it's possible for them to do the same.
Yesterday evening my Grandad had asked if he wanted me to attend Easter Sunday Church service with him and he would drive me there. But all evening I kept getting an image in my head and the feeling it wasn't safe because there might be a car accident. I thought I was over dramatising the whole thing but this morning we had a phone call he had been in a car accident and had crashed into the back of another car. Thankfully he is OK, but his car had to be written off. Now I understand why I had the images in my head. But sometimes it's difficult to discern the visions in my head from my own thoughts because my emotions can get in the way.
@journeywithme2 oh thank goodness. What a treasure your little girl is. Stay safe and healthy!
@deetoo Wow, I've never heard that version of "Help!" Go Tina, you gave a whole new feel to the song.
Looking at the COVID stats this morning, I think it may be time for a mass prayer/meditation effort aimed at helping people wake up and realize they've GOT to keep masking up and social distancing for a while, and for g-d's sake, get vaccinated as soon as possible.
