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!
