Asking for prayers for President Biden and all who are working with him to get the debt ceiling issue resolved. We are at a crossroads here https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/may-21-2023
@ghandigirl, I'm very sorry for your loss. I’m sending your boyfriend prayers of comfort, strength and peace during this difficult time. And to you as well, @ghandigirl. Your man is blessed to have you by his side. Lots of love to you, my sister.
Sending your boyfriend peace and love. Yes having a gift like yours is very helpful during times like this. @ghandigirl.
I've been reading here, but not posting much lately. Like many here, I felt down, stressed, or just generally negative for a while there. I'm not sure if it was astrological-like the retrograde, or what. I know I wasn't alone. I did have a dream a few weeks ago where I was trying to explain to others who weren't well versed in the spiritual (including one gal from church-we all know the type-thinking that Harry Potter was awful because it involved witchcraft? ahem...) that I had been told by spirit three different times in different ways that I should pass on the message that everything will be ok. All will be well. I know I too was meant to hear and understand it, yet I had a hard time shaking off the doldrums, which for a Pollyanna like me can be frustrating. I know it's late, but I'm passing it on.
I'm still not my optimistic self yet, but I've improved, and I'll get there. It just may take me a little while. It may also take me a bit to get over the doubting Thomas syndrome as well. Hospice and I both see dad's decline, tho he doesn't really see it, as he's fighting it. Good for him for trying to hang in there, but it's been a stumbling block for me seeing the bright side just yet.
I'd also like to send my sympathies and support to those who have lost loved ones or friends recently, like @jeanne-mayell & @ghandigirl 's boyfriend.
@dannyboy, hang in there with the boss. Often times, people who have issues don't act out as much when they find they aren't getting reactions to their behaviors. It doesn't make it easier to deal with daily, but it can help to reduce the issues. When I read your situation, I didn't feel like it would be long term. Unfortunately, we all know that time is relative when dealing with intuition, tho.
@lovendures, you have my sympathy. I haven't had a Mango dream, and I would be delighted to never have one in the future.
I was surprised last week to read about a poster's dream with coyotes in it. Our Coyote immediately came to mind, and I was struck at the synchronicity of it, finding it occurred on the anniversary of his passing. I hope his parents are coping well.
I'm truly impressed with E. Jean Carroll and her continuing to press for justice. I was glad she won her second case, now let's send some good vibes that her first case yields the same results.
It was sad to note today's passing of Tina Turner. Not only was she fabulous as a singer, but she gave hope and strength to so many women in abusive relationships. What's Love Got to Do With It? Only everything.
Asking for reiki/vibes/prayers - for myself this time.
My dad died unexpectedly last night.
He was 86, and going into heart failure, but was doing ok on his meds. He just keeled over on his way to bed, which, yes, is a kind of blessing in itself. My stepmom and brother were there, so that's a blessing too.
I had hoped to go for a last visit in the next couple of months, I knew time was growing short. Yesterday I was making pizza, using his dough recipe, and I had a thought to call him, but dismissed it because we always spoke on Sunday mornings. I just wasn't ready quite yet. And today no phone call...
He was very special, especially to me. We were close friends. Without him I would not have survived the traumas of my childhood with my abusive mother. I will be forever grateful to him for his love and care, even though it was always at a geographical distance.
He was very Catholic, but a very progressive Jesuit-style kind of Catholic, so today I'm going to drive up to the Mission at San Juan Capistrano to light candles for him and also for my grandparents. I miss them all so much.
Thanks y'all and namastè

@laura-f I am so very sorry for your loss. I am a semi-lapsed Catholic at this point, but know how much prayer can be a comfort during times like these. I will say a prayer for your Dad and also for you and your family as you deal with his loss. May your trip up to light candles for him and your grandparents bring you peace and comfort. Your love for them will be felt and transcends any boundaries of space and time. They will know you are thinking of them. And they will be thinking of you. :) Peace and much love to you.
I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for you and your father. May you both find peace. Love for all.
@laura-f I will pray for your father as he goes to his place of rest. Know that he will continue to love, care for, and guide you and the rest of your family. Godspeed. I wish you well.
@laura-f We know love never dies and they stay near on the Other Side...watching and reaching out. Over the next several days .. I am seeing the number 7...be listening and watching... he is going to give you a sign that he is near and now pain free and there for you always. You are loved .. meantime.. it is hard to not have them with skin on here and no longer able to pick up the phone and hear their voice. Hugs and holding space for you as you grieve his passing.
I am so sorry to hear you lost your father, especially knowing how close you were to him.
May his memory be a blessing and my his love surround you.
I love the Jesuits, such a beautiful order.
@laura-f - so sorry for the loss of your father. Regardless of the age or time it is always a loss. May he live on in your memories of him.
I follow a daily post from Heather Cox Richardson and today's was especially poignant for me on this Memorial day:
Sending you light and comfort for the loss of your father. May his memory be a blessing. Hugs to you!
@laura-f, I am very sorry for your loss. May the cherished memories of your father bring you peace, and may you always feel his love with you.
Sending you prayers of comfort and strength in the days ahead.
@laura-f Dear Laura, When a loss is expected due to an illness, it is difficult. But when it happens suddenly, it can be so crushing. I know you are a strong person, but you are also such a deep feeling person. I pray you will remember that the depth of your sorrow is because of the depth of your love. And I can only imagine how much he loved you back. Wishing love and comfort for you and your whole family.
Asking prayers for these two precious souls as they come to the end of their Journey here. I can not imagine one without the other for long ... they have been walking in tandem working together for so so long.
Definitely two of my heroes.
