I am wrapping you in an energy hug of warm, caring and safe light.
The stress and fear you are feeling is real and understandable. You are needing to navigate through a storm in uncharted waters. We don't have any guidebooks for how to plan for what is happening nor where any of us will be in 6 months.
I have a continued sense that things will fall into place for you after the baby is born. What seems overwhelming now will be smooth process. That is a continued message I'm getting.
Also to trust.
One thing I have learned with this virus, in fact everything happening in the world lately, is that much can and does change in a short period of time. Trust that you will be guided to where you need to be.
We will rejoice with you when that beautiful baby is born! What a blessing!
We are here for you and will happily read any manifestos you might need to share along the way. I am glad you followed your intuition and posted Nelysthealchemist so that we can all send you peaceful, calming, loving energy and prayers.
Trust.
@nelysthealchemist I promise to send more light and love in all promised directions shortly - I sat down to do this an hour ago after getting home from teaching elementary teachers how to practice inquiry in their classrooms and ended up in a deep power nap instead. No idea how I traveled from “sending light” to fast asleep so easily in the middle of my day (technically I had today off with the staggered start to the school year) but if this is any indication of what return to work is going to be, I wish you all ENERGY to stay awake as well ?.
@lovendures thank you so much- I feel very reassured and soothed by your words. I’m glad I decided to post here, too- most of the time I read through others’ posts and send out my own prayers and energy when I read about what people are going through. So many people are going through such hard times; I talk myself out of posting a lot (I feel generally very lucky/privileged). I should make a point of posting more often. :)
Oh man.
The Pentagon is announcing a number of US service members have been killed in the Kabul airport attack. (On top of the civilians killed).
Absolutely heartbreaking and devastating.
Do angels weep?

Thank you very much :D. Oh man, I can imagine how exhausted you must feel. I have a 4 year old daughter and feel completely beat by the end of the day (even though I love spending time with her). I can’t imagine having the energy to teach elementary- my mom is an elementary school teacher and I’m always a little envious of her insane energy levels. :p
@lovendures-do angels weep? I believe they do. I have a host of them who say aw, crap she's up when my feet hit the floor in the morning. They sometimes fight over who's turn it us to take the lead, and they often are as exhausted as I am when I go to bed. Sometimes that's a good thing-they're tired but joyful, other times in this life they've been just as tured & sad as I am.
@nelysthralchemist, don't worry about publishing novellas here. If they haven't booted verbose me in all these years, don't sweat it! Right now, you just need to focus on the short term. Having a healthy pregnancy & dilivery. I agree with @lovendures, things will fall into place as time progresses
I've quarantined myself for the next two weeks-sort of. I went to work for a good friend's brother at the start of July. He & his wife go to my church. They own a small breakfast/lunch only cafe. They have had a hard time getting help, so when asked if I could help, I offered 2 days a week-Fridays & Saturdays (2 of the 3 busiest). Most there appear to be Trumpers. Our county manditory mask mandate went into effect last Friday at 5. Naturally no one would put one on before 5. The text came yesterday that one of Friday's wait staff tested positive. I told a white lie & said that dad's nursing home says I need to quarantine 2 weeks & have 2 negative tests before I can take him to his 9/7 neurologist appt. because I was exposed. (This is actual home protocol for residents in the home right now-not relatives meeting residents at outside appointments) Clinic yesterday said I should be fine since I'm vaccinated & had no symptoms, but agreed 2 tests before seeing dad & his compromised immune system is the right thing to do. I simply had a bad feeling about going back to the cafe, and my gut is very uneasy about dad in general, so I'm going to listen.
My self quarantine probable won't keep me from sneaking out (& taking my guides & angels with me) next Wednesday to see Pretty In Pink on the big screen tho....
LOVE your description of how you interact with your guides and angels. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
I have often thought how exhausted they must be with the despair that is Covid, climate catastrophes and humanitarian crisis' which abound. How fortunate that you can see them throughout your day, see them share you joy as well.
I believe following your gut regarding a self quarantine is a smart move. Good for you.
I probably shouldn't log out until my 3rd or 4th proofreading of a post. LOL And I swear I've been wearing my glasses more. I should also finish setting up the new computer, as typing there is much easier than on my phone.
@lovendures, I don't see the angels or guides as much as I have learned to feel them. I believe they feel similarly to what we feel. Tho they do try to lift us up when we are down, so they don't dispair quite like we do. I do sometimes see some of the big names when I call & ask for comfort-mostly see their wings enveloping me.
I stopped asking long ago who is nudging me to look up & spot rainbows on sunny days, or beautiful sunrises or sunsets, flowers blooming, etc. I just know that my joy at such things is shared and welcomed. It's not just my own joy I feel as I walk the beach, or in nature. It doesn't matter to me if it's a guide, angel, or Monica (tho she's more distinct to me)-any of them push me to find pleasure they can embrace as well. They all help me sort out what needs sorting (even if it's the 1000th time). They all try to help me shoulder the things I carry.
@nelysthealchemist you would think that as much as employers are bitching about not being able to keep workers right now, that they could be a little more accommodating. Maybe some other company would like you to work for them?
Anyways, congrats in advance, on your little one. It might be the 1st baby of the new year. And the 1st baby of this forum (as far as i know)! Yay!

My due date is actually January 1st, too! I will definitely be keeping you all updated on the baby. ;) :)
I actually really love my job, for the first time in my life, and I was really impressed with how they had been handling COVID and keeping us all safe. Maybe that’s why I was so shocked/disappointed in how they’ve been handling everything since May/June and especially in the last week or so- it was unexpected and I felt somewhat betrayed, even though I’m personally protected by my accommodation to telecommute full time (for now). I really hope they change their tune fast, because when school starts up again in a week or so and they aren’t making any COVID- specific exceptions for anyone, things are going to get ugly really quickly. I feel guilty that the best I could do in the last week or so was to call my union rep and express my concerns.
hey friends
I am almost done my two week self quarantine.I do my own Covid test where I taste peanut butter and smell coconut shampoo. So far so good.
Every day I cry at missing my daughter. I send a little card from time to time. This is the worst emotional pain I have ever had to bear. I am strong of course and made of iron, but being in the fire so much is draining.
I feel so hurt and abandoned. I feel regret and shame. I feel so many things so deeply I can become overwhelmed.
Although the angels are sending me feathers, I feel cut off from them. I feel cut off from G-d and have to really work at not exacerbating my depression or anxiety. I try to stay in the moment but everything reminds me of her, and it is another day without her. I have lost her, and I doubt it will ever heal.
Any protection you can send to my two kids would be greatly appreciated.
They start school on Monday with no covid protocols in place, not even contact tracing or case reporting. Masks are a fantasy. (Mine will be wearing them, of course, but will still be around non-maskers all day.) I cannot believe what is happening in my area.
Trying to have faith and not give into fear. Very hard!
@sistermoon I used to live in Southern Chester County PA. Absolutely loved it there. Gov. Wolf and Attorney General Shapiro are amazing- but the state legislature is batsh%t crazy. So sorry your family has had this thrust upon you at the last minute- making other choices difficult. Saying prayers of protection and sealing you kids on white light now ❤️
Thank you so much - we are in Bucks, it's just looney tunes around here right now.
UNIVERSAL LOVE! SERENITY NOW!
@ghandigirl I am sorry you are feeling this way right now. I can send you light, love, peace and prayers. We are in difficult days but we are not alone. You have so many sending you love and care. Please hang into that until things lighten up. I know I’m feeling it too, many are. You’re not alone. ❤️?
@sistermoon I will add my request to yours. My grandchildren start soon. They are 3 and 6. We do have protocols but many are trying to fight it. I’m in NJ. Plus we are seeing quite a bit of breakthrough cases of fully vaccinated people. I’m sending out prayers for all of us and ask that you join me. The anxiety is creeping in and it’s a constant battle to push it back. I’m concerned for my older daughter. Hers is debilitating. Peace and love everyone. ?
@sistermoon in this case, your fear is an appropriate response. I would not send my kids into a school with a majority of people conforming to an anti science, maskless and vaccine-less crowd of people. There will likely be covid exposure in that school. The delta variant is infecting young people at higher rates than the alpha variant probably because it is twice as infectious, although so far the data show it still may be less dangerous for kids. But there is so much we don't yet know.
@sistermoon, I forgot to say that I trust your decisions because you are awake, and doing all you can to protect your children. I just wanted to remind you that your fears are appropriate. I sent angels to your kids and two of them show me they are staying with your children wherever they go and then they form themselves into shields of protection around them when they sit down.
