@jeanne-mayell Sending Light and Love to her and all affected by these extreme heatwaves. Also sending "Coolness, relief" thoughts their way.
To @jeanne-mayell, @sistermoon, @ghandigirl, and all of my sisters and brothers who are in distress or in despair,
I'm sorry for your struggles and deep sadness, and share much of what you have been feeling. Such feelings of fear, anxiety and loss often present themselves to me as uninvited visitors in the middle of the night.
When I feel the world falling down around me and don't know where to turn, this poem is a reminder to connect with myself, with nature, and with each other. @jeanne-mayell, thank you and bless you for introducing me to it.
Wild Geese
by Mary Oliver
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting —
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
May angels surround you with their comforting embrace, my beautiful friends, providing you all with strength for today and hope for tomorrow. ❤️
Hey y'all - I could use a little help. It's nothing major. If you could please send the kind of positive energy to overcome bureaucracy (think Mercury retrograde stuff, even if it's not retrograde right now).
I'll explain for context s briefly as possible: Due to a significant family history and some minor symptoms, I have been scheduled for a complete hysterectomy. Because I only have some cellular changes and not actual tumors, the insurance company (Anthem) is refusing to pay for the hysterectomy.
If this was the case but about breasts, I would have already had mastectomies. I'm trying to be proactive and have this significant surgery before it's an emergency. My grandmother died of this (3 months post-diagnosis) and my mother almost did. Whatever our genetic predisposition is, it leads to a cancer that is undetectable and then very fast moving/lethal. The only reason my mother survived was because the tumors attacked her appendix and she went to the ER for appendicitis, which turned out to be the cancer.
Of course, healing energies are always welcome, but I'd appreciate a focus on cooperation, compassion, positive action, etc. My doc is trying to appeal the denial, but it's down to a 50-50 chance at this point.
Thank you all so much!! Namasté!
I'm late to the party-as usual, but did just ask for angels to be sent to @jeanne-mayell, @michele-b, @sistermoon, @ghandigirl, @laura-f, and anyone else in need.
I haven't been watching the news, which is normal for me. I read so I have some control over what I see & when. I'm especially careful around this time of year, and moreso on big anniversaries like this upcoming one. I keep getting hints (not big smacks) that there is somwthing family related coming soon for me, so I've bee trying to get out in nature more in the last week or so.
I always think of finding angel's wing shells on the beach as a hello from my girl, and I had an amazing 4 whole shells & a handful of cracked ones by the time I finished walking, so my girl & angels were around me earlier. Hopefully they are now bringing peace to some of you.
I'm sending healing loving light her way dear tgraf66. It just so happens I had the exact same diagnosis several years ago. The doctor didn't do the layering procedure (was my left arm) but instead literally removed a jumbo egg sized part of my arm. I didn't like that but at the same time I felt it was "safer" to remove more all at once. Just thought I would mention that to you before your mom's procedure and my personal intuitive feeling is she will be fine. It was a blessing they caught it in that stage too instead of later. ? ? ❤️
@triciact Thank you. It's on my Mom's left arm as well, just above the elbow. Unfortunately, she's still having residual pain from shingles in her right arm, so caring for herself in recovery may be difficult. My sister is going with her for the procedure tomorrow. I'll keep you all posted. :-)
@cindy on board with you. Sending Reiki energy.
Heard from @michele-b! She tried to post last night and something malfunctioned so she wrote to @lovendures who passed it to me. She said we could post her account of how it’s been for her and her family in the Seattle heatwave. Sending you all our love @Michele-b.
We are all doing well and I wrote a huge reply to jeanne on the site but I don’t see anything!
