I'm asking for energetic healing due to a reaction to a food additive that the company just decided to add to a product I found incredibly helpful, and has knocked me out for over a week. I'm trying to avoid going to urgent care yet again.
Prayers going out today to the 11 people killed, their family members and those injured in Vancouver, Canada when a car plowed into a crowd at a Lapo Lapo street festival last night.
Prayers also going out to people killed and injured in the Iranian port explosion .
Prayers and healing for your kitty @liln22.
@lovendures, this one hits very close to home.
The Lower Mainland is my home.
My wife was driving me to the airport, and we were talking about the festival, how it was such a beautiful day for it. Somewhere mid-flight, I started receiving a series of messages: “Are you downtown?” followed quickly by “I’m ok” and “Not there.” Then came the news of what had happened.
A friend of my wife had been there with her family. Under normal circumstances, my wife probably would have gone too. She didn’t. It turns out that the table her friend and family had just been sitting at was part of the damage.
It really makes you stop and think. Moments like these feel like a collective trauma, fed by a lot of what if's.
Thankyou for your thoughts, sometimes we don't know how our words to each other can impact each of us.
The port explosion in Iran is a significant issue and, oddly enough, it connects directly to why I was at the airport and am now in London.
Mariner safety, along with the safety of those working in ports, goes to the work I’m doing.
I suspect the cause will turn out to be mislabelled cargo, something that is relatively easy to fix and manage from a technical standpoint, but, for a myriad of reasons, remains difficult to prevent in practice.
As I lay in bed, talking with my wife and the existential questions are asked, your comments, unexpected as they were, hit home to why I'm in London this week.
Much love, it endures :), why this is such a lovely community.
@liln22 my thoughts to you too.
I am so grateful your wife was not at the festival this year and her friends moved from the table shortly before the car plowed into it.
Your message truly touched my heart for many reasons.
I’ve spoke to others about how we often never know how our words made a positive impact upon others, but if we are fortunate enough, ( even years later) we sometimes discover they actually did.
Your response meant a great deal to me. I had hoped that my words might reach someone who needed to hear them, that they might make a difference to someone reading the forum. I had no idea it would be you and I certainly didn’t expect to actually learn that might have helped anyone.
So many tragedies have impacted our community, especially over the past year. Hurricanes, floods , fires, acts of terror, the deaths of good people, Ukraine and Gaza . Many in our community are reeling from the intentional actions of this administration whether it is from tariffs affecting so many countries like your Canada or the destruction of vital programs and laws so many in the U.S. hold dear.
We are so much stronger and connected when we feel heard and loved.
Our community has a great deal of love to share and it is indeed a beautiful gift.
Thank you for such an important reminder.
@jackofhearts I am glad your family and friends are safe and ok. Those kinds of moments really can shake your foundations and feelings. One moment in time can have such tremendous impacts on your life.
Thanks everyone for your support and well wishes for Nyx. I think all your support and wishes helped. She's more like herself although she is not a fan of the medicine she had to take. She is almost 4 years old now and we adopted her when she about 10 months old . The shelter we adopted her from asked that you have some interactions with any of the pets before being adopted. They had a partnership with feeder supply and would spotlight some of the pets each month. So we went there to check out another cat that was there. However, it was Nyx who chose us before we even met the one we went to see. She was hidden away at the top of one of the huge cages there but when we came in, she immediately came to us. Truthfully, I thought we would never have a chance to get her because so many people had declared interest in her.
When we found out her story, I think she was just waiting for the right match--us. She wasn't 1 year old yet but had already been abandoned twice-one of the times the family moved away but just left her behind on the street. She wasn't very trusting and was very very quiet and subdued. She didn't meow, didn't purr, didn't like noise and didn't even knead with her paws as most cats do. She was so silent, hesitant and quiet-even when she was scared or upset. It was like she didn't want to do anything that would bring her notice. I named her after the Goddess of the night (because to me she moves like a beauty of the night). With love and time, she now doesn't mind telling you off if she doesn't get her way. She is very bold, stubborn and so very very affectionate. She demands her cuddle time multiple times a day. She is extremely loving and sensitive to anyone's upset. She still does struggle with change and her rare purrs sound a bit rusty (but that makes hearing them all that much more precious). I truly would be lost without her.
As my circle of love and support has grown smaller due to passing of some of my closest family/friends, my family whether it is people or pets has become even more cherished to me. Losses or crisis moments just hit harder now. I used to handle stress better but especially right now...not so much. This year has already been such a difficult one. Anyway I appreciate more than you know your support for Nxy and myself! Thank you--you truly did give comfort and help-knowing that I wasn't alone and you cared too mad such a difference!
Nyx's story with you is beautiful. I love cats. I'm so happy you found each other!
What a heartwarming story about love, for both you and Nyx.
I am so happy you have each other and that she is feeling improved. It's difficult when our cherished pets are unwell. Especially if we consider them family members.
Odd fact. We have an 18 month old Whoodle who likes to suck on a pillow in the shape of a bunny. It is like she is nursing it. While she does this, she "kneads" it with her paws. I have never known a dog to knead things. It's so cat like! haha She has done it since she became our family member as an 8 week old puppy.
Powerful prayers needed for my dear friend CJ. Not only has she just undergone her third surgery within a short period of time for her recent breast cancer diagnosis, her partner of 25 years relapsed and succumbed to his addiction without warning.
She is in so much pain, and grief. It's more than any one person should have to bear. I told her that you are my prayer chain, powerful and enlightened people who will send her healing for all aspects, and for the people that her partner left behind brokenhearted.
Thanks in advance.
@ghandigirl Prayers for CJ, and peace to her partner who passed. It breaks my heart to hear of another person losing their life to an addiction. Love to CJ.
I'm sorry to keep writing on this thread all the time. I'm especially sorry that I feel that I have to.
I've been very sick all day and am very sad this evening. My child has expressed tonight that she wishes to end our relationship. She told me to lose her email. I told her to keep mine in case she needs me, but I think that's it and my heart's not really in it. You can't have a relationship with someone who doesn't want one.
I'm sorry Ghandigirl. I know this has been an extremely difficult situation for you for many years. Many you find peace and know that you are loved and supported from the higher realm. We love you too.
An update on CJ. After her third surgery doctors declared she is cancer free w good margins and needs no radiation. Best possible outcome!
Thanks to all who cared and sent healing. I am sure it helped her just knowing there was a group who were holding her in the light. That's also been helpful to me as I grieve and navigate my new normal.
This morning is unusually heavy and I’ll have a good cry after I post this awareness and gesture of connection to all who are struggling. Reading via Alt Nat’l Park Service that the EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants.I’ll be sure to hold hands w all of the light energy workers here and feel your supportive arms around me. Thank you
@earthangel I share your pain. We are all holding hands in light and hope. Surrounding everyone in light, and surrounding all who are being harmed in light. We will continue putting everyone in our Circle of Light four days a week -- everyone in our community, in all communities. I think of them every day. You are a beautiful caring empathic spirit, earthangel.
