@journeywithme2 Hey Journey, sorry that you are in pain. I had noticed that you hadn't posted in a while, and was worried that something might be wrong. Praying that you feel better soon, and that you can find someone to help w the animals until you do. I would be happy to do an internet search or call around to see if we can get some volunteers to come give you a hand? If you would like me to try, just email Jeanne to let me know what part of the country you are in (somewhere in Georgia, i think?)
love, Unk p
@unk-p Thank you sweet Unk P! I have former co-workers and my son coming to help with the daily care.... I am just not a good patient I am afraid LOL. I am not used to being out of commission and it frets me something awful. I am learning to receive as well as to give from this ordeal. I do so want to heal up properly and return to doing the things I love.
Hugs and thank you for your caring and friendship!!!
Love to you too! Journey
I have had a number of disc injuries and I know that pain,
. To sound like lovendures who offers such beautiful prayers, may you feel relief, may your strength increase, and may you feel uplifted in your recovery.
@busy-smiling I have been in your shoes.... I ask that Creator send AA Michael to fight for you , to keep you and yours safe, protecting you and yours in all you do.
You are courageous, you are strong enough, you are magnificent, you WILL heal and build a better life for you and your daughter.
I am asking that Creator strengthen and protect all women and children undergoing Domestic Violence even as I ask that our protections be reinstated and strengthened. From personal experience restraining orders are not worth the paper they are written on. Stay alert and do not count on law enforcement to protect you.
As I type this, a red tailed hawk has landed on the fence and is vocalizing. His message is for you:
"When the Red-Tailed Hawk appears as your Spirit Animal, it means something for which you’ve prayed is about to receive an answer. It could be a heartfelt wish, dream, or goal too. Red-Tail Hawk alerts you to the coming gifts so you can recognize them and integrate the blessings. In the process, your Spirit Animal may call on you to turn away from negative habits and lifestyles blocking your growth.
The Red-Tailed Hawk Spirit Animal sometimes takes you skyward as a part of expanding your mental and spiritual awareness. Look through the Hawk’s eyes and observe things which previously confounded you. When you want greater insights, having your Hawk Spirit Animal nearby helps greatly."
@febbby23 I am praying for your daughter and children as well...that they may also be divinely protected and guided and safe.
We are survivors!!!!
@ghandigirl Thank you... the pain is excruciating and the TLC is forcing me to slow down and be very deliberate in my movements. Still at the icing and hot epsom salt soaks and twice a week chiropractor adjustments stage...was doing better then a bad rough adjustment set me back to square one...so starting again and two weeks in this time. Now only going when the woman doctor is there who listens and intuitively adjusts/reiki healing as well.
I do so appreciate everyone's prayers and Healing Energies. I need to recover 100% from this without going for surgery. I know supportive care is best as our bodies have the knowledge to self heal... I just need to give it the support and gentleness it needs to do so. That's the hard part for me.. I have always been the Little Red Hen type. OCD and AR - we make the best vet techs LOL
Hello everyone,
I haven’t posted in the last week, but I have been in lurk mode reading all your posts and praying for each of you that are facing difficulties.
It bothers me that abuse is so very common. I am so sorry your daughter is enduring this. I have thought about her a lot since reading your post. I can’t imagine going through this with children. May she and the kids remain safe, and may her husband recover from the addiction that is negatively impacting so many lives.
I hope your back and neck pain is better. Back issues are just miserable, and not being able to take care of your normal tasks (esp. fur babies) just adds another layer. Praying that it passes soon.
Thank you so much for your post. It can not have appeared more timely.
On Sunday I heard from a friend that my husband had been talking with a couple that she also knows, and the woman was asking lots of questions about me. The couple was considering purchasing our house. I’ve been warned that he will seek proxies to try to get to my daughter and me, and hearing this from my friend raised my alert level. I felt paranoid and panicked all day yesterday, much the same feeling I had the day we fled.
Then yesterday afternoon, an offer came. Guess what? These friends of his put an offer in for *substantially* less than the one offer we had a month or so ago which he refused for being “too low”. And they are in a big hurry for an acceptance. I want to be free of him and the house and had already made up my mind that whatever the next offer, I would take just to get out and get away. (I’ve not been picky, but the offers have not come freely. And for the few that have come, he has been the problem.)
But I can’t shake the feelings of panic and fear that started with hearing about these people, and this all feels very shady. (The house is in a major metro area with a hot-ish market and we have gone weeks with not a single offer despite dozens upon dozens of showings, and these folks then appear out of nowhere… with a rather disappointing offer, that he seems willing to accept… I’m not very intuitive but this sure smells a bit funky…)
The red-tailed hawk and its symbolism gives me hope. While it bothers me he is getting away with so much, I’m ready to take wing with my red-tailed friend. Hawk’s eye view: I shouldn’t care about whatever shady deal is brewing in the background. The money doesn’t matter to me. I knew that there would be a tremendous price for our freedom, and it would not be paid just in money.
On a similar note, there are two pretty little birds - I don't know what kind - that have taken to roost each night above my daughter’s window, right next to our front door. It’s surprising, because there is a very bright LED light right there, and birds usually like it dark when they go to roost. I feel that they are two tiny sentinels standing guard through the night.
Thank you for your message of encouragement. I know you are in much pain, so I know it must have taken a lot to type such a detailed and beautiful response. ❤️
