@journeywithme2 Thank you for your beautiful sentiments. It is hard for me to rest, but the weather helped me by turning cold and rainy, and I slept all day yesterday! Back in better form today.
I too notice how many light workers have had medical challenges recently.
I feel like I'm getting a reset this month, a version 2 upgrade to deal with the challenges ahead. And although healing progress is a bit slower than I am accustomed to, I know I'm getting better each day. We are all getting better each day, rising in hope, patience, and courage.
I thank ALL of you for sending that healing, whether or not you did so consciously, I have drawn so much strength from you all.
Sending protection to @tgraff66 and to @allyn as well.
@allyn I almost lost your message in all the flurry of posts on the site! I am happy to hear that you're recovering -- even happier to hear you're taking some time off to focus on healing. I don't practice law but several in my family do and I know from them how hard it is to take time off - even when you really need to for something like this.
I, like many others, will surround you with light in those moments before sleeping and after waking when I find my abilities at their best. May the light restore your health quickly!
Just a quick update: my mom is doing okay and seems to have had a very mild case. She's still pretty exhausted and weak, of course, and will continue the Paxlovid until it's gone and the elevated dosage of Prednisone for at least another 10-12 days before beginning to taper down again. I'm still testing and was negative again tonight. Two more of those and I'll be out of the woods, I think. I did go to my job today, and apart from being very tedious and mentally tiring, it wasn't bad for a first day. I will start major training tomorrow. Thanks again to everyone for their prayers and support, but I humbly request that everyone still please send a lot of healing energy to my mom.

Here is another lovely prayer I use all the time.
I ask the great unseen healing force
to remove all obstructions
from my mind and body
and to restore me to perfect health.
I ask this in all sincerity and honesty,
and I will do my part.
I ask this great unseen healing force
to help both present and absent ones
who are in need of help
and to restore them to perfect health.
I put my trust in the love and power of God.
@tesseract That is a lovely prayer for healing.
I will use it for my friend D. in CO -- he has recently developed "musician's focal dystonia". This affects his ability to make a living and his sense of self.
I don't usually reply individually in this forum, but I keep everyone in here in my prayers, and Jeanne, thank you for everything you do to keep this site up and running even when you're under the weather.
I'm late as usual, just seeing this now. I have lots of professional experience with CVAs. Glad you survived and that you are recovering well. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. You can always relay a private email to me through Jeanne.
I lean towards genetic predisposition over other causes. BC patches don't usually cause the type of stroke you had (occlusive), although they can cause embolic strokes. The fact it was cerebellar and localized means it would be more likely to affect movement than speech or cognition.
Do whatever the doctors tell you. With strokes, they really do know what they're doing. It's normal for you to feel anxious or even depressed after a stroke, btw (maybe the docs already told you this?). Keep your doctor informed as to your moods, as it is one gauge of how you're improving and if the meds are working. And not to be a broken record, but do not try to push yourself. Take it easy.
And I don't know how old you are or how far along in your career, but take this time to consider options for going forward-i.e., part-time vs. full, lower caseload, built in personal days, etc. It's ok to use some of your privilege to take care of yourself!
Be well and all my best for continued improvement and reduced anxiety. ❤️ 🌹
From @Polarberry: “Jeanne, thank you for everything you do to keep this site up and running even when you're under the weather.”
Thank you sweet friend and most of the credit goes to my moderators, @lovendures, @deetoo, @cc21, @lenor @bluebelle, @baba, and @dave our developer. Not only did they run the site while I was out of commission
but they held my hand with regular encouragement.
And our regular posting community— you know who you are—also kept us going.
It takes a village!
I woke up this morning with the Uvalde families very present in my mind. They're going to need a lot of support, with a very difficult holiday season coming up for them.
If you could send some light their way, I think it would do them a world of good. When I cast my intuition over them, it feels like extended families have bonded together because of what happened, but I also sense a lot of pain and anguish that feels exposed and festering.
Hello Community!
I haven't been around much... it has been very busy and there are many details and updates I would have like to have shared about our ongoing situation, but because we are still in the throes of a domestic violence divorce case, I cannot. We have taken extraordinary measures to remain hidden for our own safety.
I am here to humbly ask once again for your prayers of protection. Apparently the other party's counsel has become aware of some disturbing threats, perhaps beyond the pale of what he as already done in the past, specifically against me and now against other people involved with this case. It was so egregious that his own attorney is pulling out. Because of the nature of the threats, it trumps the attorney-client privelege and must be disclosed to the court. It appears that law enforcement will likely be getting involved now.
On the plus side, this may make it possible to receive an order of protection for both me and my daughter. I know they are, at the end of the day, just paper and don't truly protect us, nor do they negate the need to remain in hiding and take incredible measures to keep safe. But at least his behavior will be well documented and known to the authorities. He no longer has plausible deniability on his side. He has been seen by multiple people for who he truly is.
An emergency hearing has been called. Although remote, he will likely be there. I don't have to log in but I think it's important to hear first hand what is disclosed. And I want to stand there (metaphorically) for myself to take back that power. But... I'm terrified to hear what will come out, and even more terrified for my daughter and myself as we move forward, since being held accountable for his own behaviour will surely trigger him more.
Thank you all in advance for your help, support and loving kindness. We really need it right now.
Much love and light to all who are also suffering.
Busy Smiling
@busy-smiling Love, Light and Prayers to you as you continue to deal with this situation. Stay strong!
Thank you for the update! What a difficult situation you have been dealing with. While it is good that this information is being brought to light and validating as well, it must indeed be frightening.
May you stay protected, with help from both earthly beings and those in the spiritual realm. May your daughter thrive in her new environment. May a place be found for you both which is secure, healthy and filled with light and love. May healing flow through and around you both and my you be able to provide the type of Homelife you have alway wanted. May a good job be found if needed so that you have financial security as well.
Sending you a lot of love. Please keep us informed when you are able.
@busy-smiling Site dropped my post ,am retrying : Asking Creator to send AA Michael with his mighty sword and legions of angels to protect you and your daughter and keep you safe from ALL harm. To stand between you and any who seek to hurt you in any way. Asking that the AA Raguel, Highest angel of Justice come to your aid to bring forth the justice, harmony, fairness and redemption needed here. I ask that AA Raphael aid you and your daughter in healing from the stress and trauma and heal the PTSD inherent in domestic violence situations. I ask that the two of you be given everything you need to overcome, and heal and rise above these traumatic months of fear and pain and anguish. I also pray, that Light comes to shine so brightly down on you both that you are able to rest and renew and sleep fully restorative sleep at night no longer jumping at every sound and having those horrid dreams. I see the hot blue white Light sword I saw in one of my "dreams" when I was going through a very similar situation be given to you Busy Smiling so that you may swing that sword and cut those cords between you and he. I thank Creator for answered prayers and I rejoice knowing that you and your sweet child will come out the other side triumphant and strong and living in Joy again. Amen... and so... it is.
Hi! This is my first time posting on the forum, but after reading that Brittney Griner was sent to a penal colony, my insides have been turning. I don’t even want to imagine what they’re doing to her especially since she’s gay, female and black. Can we please pray for her protection and for her to come home soon??
Thank you.
Welcome to the forum and thank you for your post.
Thank you for reminding us that Griner is still in Russia and circumstances are certainly getting worse for her, not better.
It has been about nine months now and I can't imagine...
I am sending healing energy to her and lots of love and hope. She certainly can use hope. May she be surrounded by angels. May she feel the love and caring energy that people are sending to her. May she know she is remembered and actively being prayer for. May she be on her way home soon.
Golly, what a tense situation! Again, I used to work in the domestic violence field and when faced with that degree of danger, we sent women and children out of state and once, even out of the country. It is upsetting that it takes this degree of obvious threat to perhaps, finally get an order of protection. Well, this group has powerful juju and JourneyWithMe2 and Lovendures have sent protection and I do feel there is spiritual support for you. Please picture yourself and family safe and happy but also continue to practice extreme vigilance (as it sounds like you are.)
I will call on divine and sacred guides who specialize in protection, and family/ legal matters to aid you, now!
Love and comfort coming your way..
@busy-smiling oh how my heart goes to you and your daughter. Our family has been dealing with something similar. I pray for all dealing with this horror and will keep you, your daughter and mine and all lifted and wrapped in protective light. I ask for angels to stand guard by you always. Try to take comfort that we are here, we see and hear you and will be in our prayers. ❤️🙌
