@cindy What a delight to hear from you again and find out what’s going on in your life. I appreciate your deep wisdom and strength. And I appreciate your sending angels to guide me. You are correct about the creative process as it is very much part of my life. Yesterday I thought about all the paintings I created last year, the ones still in progress and imagined the new paintings for this new year.
Sending you strength for your journey and protection as you deal with these deepest pains of your life. It’s a beautiful gift that you will share with this audience, a gift that spirit survives tragic loss. Much love to you.
@cindy, thank you for checking in and sharing your wisdom, strength and compassion with us. On this first day of a new year and new beginnings, your post inspired me to share the following poem with all of you.
When the Earth Shakes
― Chelan Harkin
It's when the earth shakes
And foundations crumble
That our light is called
To rise up.
It’s when everything falls away
And shakes us to the core
And awakens all
Of our hidden ghosts
That we dig deeper to find
Once inaccessible strength.
It’s in times when division is fierce
That we must reach for each other
And hold each other much
Much tighter.
Do not fall away now.
This is the time to rise.
Your light is being summoned.
Your integrity is being tested
That it may stand more tall.
When everything collapses
We must find within us
That which is indomitable.
Rise, and find the strength in your heart.
Rise, and find the strength in each other.
Burn through your devastation,
Make it your fuel.
Bring forth your light.
Now is not the time
To be afraid of the dark.
Such gloriously beautiful visions. Calming and clear.
@bluebell
Prayers and light to you. Feel for you. Sounds like you are doing everything right.
So very brave and giving to others so badly in need. You are truly amazing and so very strong.
@bluebelle Dearest Bluebelle, the healing green light of archangel Raphael surrounds you and pours into your eyes for healing and clearer vision. Your goodness and light frees fear and worry… lean into the self-healing you possess. Turn to your angels who are always w us. May the healing light of divine empowerment free your vision and beautiful heart from suffering and the suffering that surrounds us. Sending you healing peace and comfort always.
@cindy You have not only given something beautiful to @Bluebelle, but to all of us. You have visited Hades in this life, and returned to us with gifts from the heart. And now you will do the same when you make that trip to be with families who are, as only you know, still in the depths of loss. Taking your grown kids with you on this pilgrimage will also give them something difficult but beautiful to remember. Bless you, Cindy.
@bluebelle Sending you my wishes that you receive the guidance and support you need, exactly when you need it, as you deal with this condition.
@bluebelle Dearest Bluebelle... Tho I have taken a break from most online activities to "refill" my own Energy cup.. I continued to pray about you and your eyes and send Light,Love and Healing. Facing my own vision issues of cataracts and autoimmune uveitis and blepharitis I understand how scary it all it is and send Energy for emotional support as well. I am continuing to send Reiki and Prayers, Light and Love. Visual problems and loss of sight at our age is so very scary!!! It's scary anytime of course.. but losing what little sight we have along with other aging issues can get quite terrifying at times. I am asking that Creator send Archangel Raphael to both of us to oversee and direct the care and healing of our eyes and vision. Hugs and know... we are never alone.
@cindy Sending Light, Love and Support as you travel to this memorial. Know that you are a Guiding Light for the others you will share time with there just as you are to us here in this Forum. I will always help others in every way that I am able every time that I am able. It is who I am ...who we all are. I know that at different stages of Life ..even moment to moment ...that will vary. Sometimes just our thoughts, prayers and dreams are all we can give ...thought becomes word becomes deed ...to taking physical actions when we can. This past year was a year of turmoil and learning and letting go for me as well. I have great hopes for the year ahead as we continue to work together to create the world the we desire to see. Sending you big hugs and my love as you go .
@journeywithme2 @earthangel @gbs I am touched by your support, the healing you have sent and especially by your understanding of my condition. It is a scary time, but I feel the love and support of family and friends. I am determined to deal with this one day at a time with stoicism as my path with spirit guides and angels as my constant companions. Next week I being a series of photobiomodulation treatments for my eye with dry MD. That will be three days a week for three weeks. Then after that, I will return for another injection for wet MD in my other eye. (Who knew I could handle a needle in the eye? Seems that I not only can handle it, I can be grateful for it.) I will be re-reading your messages during that time, reminding myself that I’m not alone and that your energy plus that of guides and angels will make a difference. Sending you much love and deep appreciation.
Aw, @jeanne-mayell, you made my eyes tear up. Thank you for your kind words.
FYI to any who are interested, Hades is totally overrated, I don't advise visiting.
And kiss my grits, no good deed goes unpunished, as the saying goes. LOL I got the itinerary for the memorial service. Of all places, it's being held at the Kennedy Center's Reach Center. Someone please help me pick my jaw up off of the floor. I have no doubt this venue was booked before the illegal renaming of the building, but clicking the link made me go crosseyed while seeing the name inserted before Kennedy on the web page. I'm hoping that the group of angels accompanying us will at least be mischevious enough to knock the T off the exterior wall before we get there.
@cindy As a true G.R.I.T.S. (Girls raised In the South) I laughed aloud at your Flo of Alice's Restaurant "Kiss my Grits" fame.
If it makes you feel any better about going (and know we have requested Creator sending AA Michael and all his legions with you and all the attendees there) imagine it as graffiti scrawled on that treasured building belonging to We the People honoring our heroes.
I do not know if you are a South Park fan ( I think you have been for this season anyways ;-) ) BUT... it is beyond delicious that this happened thwarting the demented toddler scrawling his name in gold crayon on all of our public walls.

Know we will keep sending our Light and Love accompanying you. "We got you Girl!!!"
I’m feeling a bit discouraged after reading some news. I try to brace myself and buffer it, but I am tired of the dark issues. If anyone could send some comforting energy, I would appreciate it. I am trying to rest more but my reserves feel tapped.
Also dealing with pain from dental issues and digestive problems.
Comforting energy sent your way!
Having pain from dental issues and digestive problems is challenging too and I'm sure is adding to the fatigue.
I'm wishing you comfort and health, and may a feeling of peace and a deep knowing that everything will be okay and the light is just around the corner find you.
@anya Those two are linked. I am hearing probiotics ( you are on antibiotics?)
I understand about the "dark news influences" they seem to hit us harder when we are ill.
Give yourself permission to step away... hibernate if you will. I recently did the same and it has helped a lot. I have started re-reading some of my favorite books, started putting together a 1000 piece puzzle ( Charley Harper art) and watching inspirational movies and some just feel good fluff movies.
Make yourself some easily digested nourishing soups/stews that are easy to chew.
My main drink when I am sick for any reason is lemon thyme tea. I take 4/5 sprigs of my lemon thyme plant. Place in a quart mason jar, add 4-5 slices of fresh ginger ,peeled and sliced, 1 whole lemon cut in slices, squeezed in to jar then add peels too. A few dollops of raw wild honey and then pour just boiled water from the kettle (turn off when hard boil reached and let it stop hard rolling boil) in over the ingredients and fill the jar. Let steep for 15?minutes ... pour up and sip along on. This tea is antiviral, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. You can one cup up to 3 times a day. My body does best on one cup in the am and one in the evening. Hugs and feel better soon!
🙏🏻💜🕊️💚🙌💚🕊️💜🙏🏻
@journeywithme2 I have never heard of Charlie Harper. He's got a dynamic vision and incredible talent. I will try these things you suggested. Thank you.
Thank you to everyone who sent good energy.
If anyone else is feeling stressed and needs an hour of music therapy, I find this track helpful:
