I don't know if it is too late to send energy, but tonight I am worried for my mother.
Got notice that there are a lot of infected people, residents and staff, where she is living in a memory care unit. They are basically locking down again. Roughly half of the people living there have Covid now. It's a small place.
She is vaxxed and boosted but I am still scared for her. She will be 90 in a month or so. G-d Willing.
I am calling upon my father to keep an eye out for her. I am asking the angels to be with her. I am hoping she tests negative.
Especially concerning was the strong feeling I had that my most recent visit would be our last visit. I am hoping that this was an intuition about the new lockdown enacted today. I feel like it might have been a heads up from my dad to prepare me for this moment and lessen my fear? I sure do hope so- I can't spare her.
@ghandigirl I’ll be sending your mother loving, protective thoughts. My mother lives in a longterm care facility, due to later-stage Huntington’s disease, and Covid has begun to spread there too. Thankfully there haven’t been any serious cases among the residents so far.
Can you continue to visit her, even in lockdown? Some states have changed their approach to lockdowns since the beginning of the pandemic, recognizing how detrimental total isolation was to residents. I’d recommend checking on your state’s Health and Human Services website and ask the administrator of your mom’s facility.
@ghandigirl I sent angels to your mother and saw the walls of her room filled with joyful angel symbols. I’ve never seen anything like it which is a sign that there is truth in it. It seems like there is an energy of protection already there probably from you! I would not be afraid to visit if I had on a good mask. I ordered N99 masks from a company called Well Before.com that you can tighten to fit closely around the edges. Then wash hands after. I see how just holding her hand means so much.
My mother always had an angel print in our dining room. It also hung over her bed when she was a child. A gold framed print of three angel faces looking like cherubs. I bought her a mug that had the print on it a long time ago. I don't know if she still has the print but it always reminds me of her when I see it pop up.
Her little room is filled with Artwork I have made for her, including a portrait of her and one of my decorated "opulent" birdhouses. I pour my love into my art. Maybe that is part of the angelic energy you saw.
She is like a little child, and always so happy to see anybody. She's quite lonely, being a very social being. She is always trying to connect with others. There is a non verbal woman there who takes my mother's hand and my mother walks with her, leading her around. It must mean so much to the woman. She has a friend in my mother. I feel that is part of the holding hands you saw. I was moved to see this when I visited.
My parents were always visiting and helping the "old people" at nursing homes, well into their 70's. Growing up, my parents took in people who were lost, or being abused. They offered to adopt my friend who had a parent who was causing her broken bones. That offer led to the other parent getting sober and getting divorced. I didn't understand at the time what was happening. But they did. They were truly angels on this Earth.There was a bright light that shone from them both, and shines from her still.
My sibs and I, we are five altogether, and her remaining sibs, her sisters, all care about her so much and we send messages to each other updating her progress. She is now diagnosed with Alzheimers, like my father before her. She remembers me, like he did, and for that I am forever grateful.
I would visit but I suffer from at times crippling Anxiety. It is hard for me to even leave my house at all. But I call her and she sometimes picks up the phone. I will think about if I can try to see her.
Until then, I will imagine myself holding her hand. I will hope this passes soon so I can try to visit her in February for her 90th birthday.
I did order KN 95 masks for myself and my boyfriend. Until they come I have been masking up with a thick cloth mask, with a filter, and another mask under, so 4 layers of protection while in the schools.
I am working on releasing some of this fear. I am so scared even of this milder Omicron, and so terrified it will take her. Fear is not good. I will instead look for and feel those angels. Thank you for the comforting message.
Attached is the portrait of my mother. It really does look like her. I worked on the hands to reflect how beautiful her hands are, and the nail polish she always has. Red is her favorite color so I added the red nails and flowers. She made me a beaded bracelet a few years back so I put one of my own making on her wrist. :)
A prayer for January 6th.
Shortly after 911, NPR ( if I remember correctly) played the most incredible music I had ever heard. it was a special program in response to the 9-11 attacks called "Terror and Hope".
The music they played was the entire choral/orchestral album featuring the English Chamber Orchestra by American film and television composer Jonathan Elias.
There are 9 different symphonies and 13 different languages which are sung. Only one song has English. They are all incredibly powerful and moving and as I listened to the pieces that September day I found myself frequently crying.
Below are 2 of my favorites from this incredible work. I do however encourage you to listen to the entire album in order at some point as it is meant to be enjoyed.
The first piece I am sharing is the beautiful guitar centered prayer which features James Taylor. It is called Grace. The song came softly to me today I was cleaning my home and I knew it was a nudge from Spirit to listen to it again. As I did so, I realized the message was for me to share this song with all of you. To perhaps share the entire album with you all.
Just as 9-11-01 shook the nation to its core, so did the terror actions of January 6th 2021.
May you find some comfort, grace and hope as you move about your day today.
Grace

The second piece is called Hope and it features The American Boys Choir and Alanis Morissette ( singing in Hungarian I believe) . Every time I hear it I cry, which I am doing again right now.

Be sure to listen to some of the other pieces from this album. Nusrat Fateh is marvelous and there is also a nice song featuring both Linda Ronstadt and Fateh together, singing in Spanish and Urdu I believe.
Gentlepeople,
I'll admit to becoming a bit lax in my mask-wearing in the warehouse at work, mainly because there are only ever about five of us in there. However, when I got to work yesterday, my supervisor was wearing his and he sounded a bit "coldish", so I immediately put mine on. In fact, I put on a second disposable one under my regular cloth one just to be as safe as possible. Normally, I would be going on the road for deliveries, but yesterday, I was in the warehouse all day, about half of it in relatively close proximity to my supervisor. Unfortunately, there were at least a few times when he pulled his mask down to talk, and at least once when he sneezed while his mask was under his chin. Needless to say, I was not happy, but there wasn't a lot I could do about it. Although he is vaccinated as a work requirement, to my knowledge he has not been tested recently, and he has made it clear that he doesn't intend to be tested or to get any further vaccination boosting.
I am fully vaccinated and boosted (as well as I can be with the J&J vaccine), so I think that even if I become ill, I will be okay. However, my biggest concern is that I live with my mother, who is anti-vax and has refused to get a vaccine. She is 81, and while very active and in good health generally, she is obviously at risk.
In any case, I'm feeling a bit under the weather today, and I don't know if it's just being worn out from work and lack of sleep or if I may be coming down with something from my few direct interactions with my supervisor. It's impossible to find a test of any kind anywhere near me at the moment, and the drive-through testing centers are booked solid for the next two weeks, so I can't get one before I am supposed to go back to work on Monday. I would appreciate any healing energies for myself, but more energies to protect my mother. If anyone is so inclined, I would also like to know if anyone has any intuitive impressions about whether this may be serious and/or how concerned I need to be.
Thank you. :-)
@tgraf66 I am sending protection for you and for your mother.
I thought it was impossible to find a quick test kit until I started calling pharmacy stores over a three-day period. I almost gave up but then for some reason, I called the local CVS here and after pushing a lot of buttons, I discovered the only department that now picks up the phone was the pharmacy. A woman picked up the phone and said obliquely, "tests at the front desk" and then hung up on me. I wasn't sure what she meant because they had a message on their site that they were sold out of tests. Still I drove straight to the pharmacy and they had them. It's worth trying because they are out there.
@tgraf66 Sending you good thoughts and well-wishes, to you and your mom. And your boss sucks. I'm sorry you have to endure his selfishness.
If you can afford it everyone, Amazon has the same test kits that NYC gov't is giving out, if you stand in long lines. I ordered a few over the holidays. It only took a few days to arrive.
please friends
Wherever this post finds you, please send energetic healing and light to my body. I am in some pain and feel like a broken china doll.
Years ago a doctor told me I had degenerative disc disease. I rejected that out of hand. I tend to be "hardheaded"( my oldest student's assessment). But now I'm wondering?
I suffered a traumatic back injury in my late 20's, and a few reinjuries, and at my late 50's now, am still not healed. Besides overdoing it in the move and long drives for my one job, I am sometimes driven to move. I sometimes ignore the needs of my body being so much in my head. Now my poor body is SCREAMING at me, and I have been forced to sit still and listen.
The energetic wounds of trauma have been reverberating in me for longer than I can remember. Also, moving, leaves, and other straining has left me way behind the eightball. I always am able to bounce back up, but in the moment I am just trying to meditate this pain away and am staying mostly on my feet upright slowly moving. I am listening now to my intuition to tell me what to do next, which modality, ice, heat. Have been using stick on medicinal herbal patches. Then I rotate to ice, moist heat, heating pad.
I trust that I can heal myself. I have been to therapy for injuries more than once and know what exercises are best. I could just use an energetic lift.
thanks friends
@ghandigirl Done. Message "remember to exhale" came if that means anything to you.
Just to update and say thank you, I felt sort of "sick-ish" for about 24 hours, so I avoided being around my mom (as much as I could given that we live in the same house!) but it pretty well passed, and my mom doesn't seem to have been contracted anything. Since it has now been nearly a week, I am cautiously optimistic that we're going to be okay. Thank you to @jeanne-mayell, @lynnventura, and anyone else who sent healing and light. *hugs* ??
@ghandigirl Sending Light,Love and Healing Energy for you to use as you wish and need. On the heading to 70 side of my 60's I took care of everyone else all my life at the expense of my own body. Having a high pain tolerance and life choices of being a single mom and a physically demanding job my own body is like a high mileage Honda... it's got about 350,000 + miles and spotty maintenance records LOL.
I get where you are coming from. My message I got this year? Was... tend to and care for yourself first. It's your time for you now. I think ? You are getting the same message...attend to your body's needs and apologize to it for using it so hard and LOVE it back to health. It's marvelous machine!
I did say "*cautiously* optimistic"....*sigh* Mom texted me just after lunch today to let me know that she woke up with a stuffy, runny nose and a slight temp. I told her she needed to call her doctor to see about getting tested, but she refused saying that she doesn't need a test, it's not covid, just a cold, etc. ugh....
Anyway, I told my primary supervisor about it, and he said to finish out the day and make sure I was following protocols, and to get tested as soon as possible. However, there are no rapid tests available anywhere around me, the ones I ordered from Amazon have been delayed for supply reasons, and I can't get a drive-through appt for at least two weeks. In the meantime, since mom refuses to get a test, I have to act as though I have been exposed and quarantine appropriately. Except that I live with my mom, so I can't really get away from it. (cue loud internal screaming).
One of my co-workers said he had an extra rapid test I could have, so I'm going to take him up on that, but I need to wait 48 hours after first exposure to a symptomatic person to get an accurate result, so I can't test until Monday. In addition, I can't return to work until five days after a negative test, so whether I like it or not, I'm off next week.
Oh, when I informed my secondary supervisor at the end of the day and told him I was going home, he started berating me and telling me that I shouldn't go home because I would be exposing myself to whatever my mom had and that I should get a hotel (!) and stay there. When I explained that I couldn't afford to do that, he said that I *could* afford it, I just didn't *want* to, and that I was exposing myself on purpose just to get some time off (yes, I put up with this kind of crap from him all the time, god knows why, and yes, I did tell my primary supervisor about it and told him to tell the secondary supervisor to kindly go f*** himself).
Keep any good vibes coming, I think I may need them.
I totally hear you my friend. Totally.
I am so sorry you are dealing with a secondary boss who is living in a different reality. Such lack of understanding and caring. I am sure this is very upsetting for you and wish you and your mom good health and a lot of love.
My daughter's principle just berated one of her fellow teachers for staying home a 5th day with covid . She still had symptoms, though they were less than yesterday which was not a great day for her. He even went to HR to make sure the teacher would not get paid today because he feels teachers with covid are only mildly sick and just want to stay home after 5 days are up and felt this was the case with her, his "expert opinion". (They aren't supposed to come to work if they still have symptoms, she had them.)
Earlier in the week he berated his own child for "faking" being sick in front of others at school when in fact that child had a high temp and was covid positive.
He also did not follow covid protocol for the district, tested positive for covid and has now exposed everyone because he doesn't wear a mask and went to school while sick before getting test results.
Not sure how much longer she will be able to morally or emotionally work under his "leadership" anymore.
I am hopeful his current experience with his personal covid issue now will be a smack in the head, face and butt and make reality and humanity a thing again for him, if they ever were a thing. I don't want anyone to get sick, but I do want him to get woken up and open his eyes. And his heart.
How can these people be in leadership positions during a pandemic?
Yes that is very helpful. I had a bad asthma episode that exacerbated the back pain, or vice versa.and tend to hold my breath if in pain. I feel my dad behind the words.
@journey with me2
Exactly. I also have a high threshold for pain. I become triggered when in this much pain, with upsetting memories. This doubles the pain. My challenge is to stay in the moment and I have been thanking my younger self for getting me this far.
How are you feeling?
@tgraff66
Ugh that is awful/and sounds frustrating. holding you in light and protection.
@loveendures
There are way too many of these people in education! Also thank you for your beautiful and powerful prayers to everyone here.
@everybody
Thank you for the support, it neans a lot, and it helps a lot,

OK, so I kind of don't even want to ask for help for this person because he is willfully unvaccinated, are his wife (my cousin) and children. But I will gird myself up and send him energy and I hope perhaps others will, too. John B. in central Florida is almost 80 years old and hospitalized with COVID-related pneumonia. I kind of feel like he deserves it, but I have to remind myself he is a victim of brainwashing as well as a victim of COVID. Please, if you can manage it, send some healing energy to my cousin's husband John. Thanks.

Prayers being said for him, his family and prayers that the emotional wounds for all (you included) be healed as well. May love pour over everyone and fill any areas in your spirits which are hallow and in pain.
It is easier to send love to someone when we feel they don't understand what they have done or that they have been led astray. Glad you thought of that to help you.

Last week my dad was driving me to a medical appointment and the song "Sweet Surrender" by Sarah McLachlan came on the radio. Of course I couldn't hear it, but I knew that song from before I lost my hearing, so I knew the lyrics. Surrender is what I've been doing lately, because I'm facing too many headwinds for me to just push away or deal with solitarily. I'm leaning into whatever support I can get from my spirit guides (let them do some of the heavy lifting) and here in the 3D. I will probably continue to proceed in this manner for the next few months.
This does not mean I am giving up on pursuing tasks of my own volition. But I'm at the point where I mentally shut down whenever someone suggests I do something more. I already have in mind what I want to complete and I don't wan't to do anything else. Really, I just want to be granted a miracle healing.

Your post resonates with me as the right direction for you -- let your guides do the heavy lifting. They are doing it. Everywhere you go, I see you in the arms of an angel.
