@earthangel Yes. A sad feeling, strong and odd, onset right afterward. And I hadn’t been hugely excited, just strolled over to a hillside to view. Lasted all through that evening, a great sadness, brought around the next day with a therapeutic massage to my usual fairly cheerful self. Maybe it was a thought of loving our planet and sad to think of having to one day leave it? A beautiful metaphoric moment there with sun and moon, masculine/feminine appearing in balance?
Sending light and love to you.
Anyone else feeling kinda clobbered by post eclipse joy into sudden doldrums? Good grief.
My emotional mood swings peaked on Monday and I’m feeling on the other side of that last one since the eclipse ended. My entire mental focus switched from the end of one journey to the first step down the next path and that’s helped.
But I hear and feel what you’re saying here.
And - my wife made me return to Facebook so she could post updates and tag me and reach people she may not be friends with… as I doomscrolled last night for the first time in three years, starting in just the last couple of days people are posting about being fed up with (insert name of thing we’ve been seeing as part of the Great Turning for years) and it really feels like we’re turning a corner.
K’s pre-op appointment was today. Here’s the message I received from him.
Just met with the surgeon, very nice young man.
He wants to do my transplant robotically. I will be the third person to be operated on with the robot at HF. Only three surgeons in the United States, 2 at Ford and 1 in St Louis that are using the new technology. I will be one of the first 5 or six patients in US who will have had robotic liver transplant. There are several surgeons in Saudi Arabia who are using it.
Much smaller incision and does not require cutting the abdominal muscles.
We consented to the robotic with the option during surgery the traditional method.
I asked how this would impact his recovery in the short term and apparently it could be faster. This tracks if they’re making a small incision and using the precision of the robot to guide it in there. So while we’re sending light, let’s send some to a robot too :P (Have we ever sent light to a robot before? Honestly asking!)
My pre-op is tomorrow. Not worried. Will update you when I have an update :-) (probably late evening since it’s a day full of meetings and appointments!). Can’t wait to hear from the dietician in particular about how I can keep from gaining too much weight but keeping my liver stocked with what it needs.
@dannyboy - my sister just had a tumor removed from her lung (stage 1 cancer). It was completed with a robotic surgery. Apparently they can make curved cuts that human surgeons have difficulty doing. Anyway it was a success. You and K may be pleased with your "robot surgeon". 😇🤖
I have a 10 year old girl who has ptsd stemming from issues w her dad. On the surface she is filled with anger but beneath that is so much sadness and pain. The anger comes out at school and her self worth is nill. I am a teacher at her school and I’m struggling with how to support her through this. She has been seeing a therapist for years and went through significant trauma last year in a custody battle that ‘she won’. She doesn’t know how to release the anger or work through her sadness and pain but it’s spilling onto her peers who think she’s ‘weird’ and avoid her. She needs friends to build her confidence and yet she has alienated most of the kids in her class. I had a similar year in 5th grade socially so I empathize completely with how she’s feeling and all I know is I found my people but that’s not much comfort to her.
@jaidy I'm so sorry you and your daughter are going through this. I pray that both of you come to a place of peace.
Just an immediate reaction..what brings your daughter comfort? Are there things that she enjoys doing, like art, crafting, writing, interacting with animals, games or sports? Maybe something where she can gain a bit of self confidence on her own?
I'm sure you have offered her a lot of different options. It's awful watching our children struggle. May a way forward soon present itself. ❤️
@dannyboy THIS!!!This!!!!!this!!!!!
Thank you for sharing this glorious Journey and Realizations and Growth along the Way!!!!
You made weep,smile and laugh and rejoice all in the space of several paragraphs 💜
We all are here, however we show up, to bring Growth,Change,Light,Love and more in this plane. I am honored to "know" ye laddie. Kindred spirits we be. Make positive changes in every little corner we can. We get affirmations from Creator/Universe along the way to support and Guide.
I just recently moved, from a home where I lived for 27 years. As a child and then a young wife,who got out of Domestic Violence and went on to raise my two children basically alone ... working in a career that I was called to ( veterinary medicine) I used to have to move "every time the rent came due" low income and rent raised beyond finances. I finally was able, with my father's help, able to buy a small brick ranch and finished raising my children there. A lot of love, creating Sanctuary there... for people, and animals,fostering, adopting and feeding ferals and wildlife .... I have definitely been uprooted to move 6 miles down the road... to keep a promise to a sister of my heart (not blood) and had to leave behind my beautiful space and some of my animals as to what is best for all concerned.
The stress ( good and bad events cause stress) has me having a long flare of autoimmune psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis/ibs/thyroid. I was lamenting the loss of forage-able plants that help me cope with these kind of outbreaks. I decided to walk out in the sun and explore the parameters of this larger more wooded 2 acres with my senior rescue cocker (she reminds me of Dylan). Talking with the trees,her and Creator about my fears,saddness,hope and joy.
Long story short : I stumbled up a small flush of Dryads Saddle aka Pheasant back mushrooms. Quickly looked them up online to see they are a choice edible. Harvested them and took them home and prepared and ate them, delicious! Researched them some more and found they are medicinal too! In that they turn off autoimmune reactions and help bring physical bodily function back in alignment!!
I promptly told Spirit "Thank You!!!" Knowing I had been heard, acknowledged and affirmed of my Path!
We all have these "Ordinary Miracles" happening more and more in our lives, every day!!! We each have the chance to spread our Love,Light and Joy to all we can.
I was amazed and surprised to hear myself ask a client if I could do reiki on her sick dog. She gave me a surprised look and said sure! I looked at him and "asked " him mind to mind... to come closer in a certain position if he wanted me to do this for him. He did and assumed the position I showed him with my minds eye. He leaned in to me and sighed as the "treatment" was given. His Mom said "Wow... he is liking that!!"
Even us shy people are stepping up and showing and sharing the Light!
Soooo... thank you Danny Boy!!! From the bottom of my heart ( and the sides and top too 😉) for being the amazing,wonderful Light Being that you are!!!! I am so grateful we "met" here!!!!
@journeywithme2 Bless you for sharing these stories. I pictured that brick ranch clearly when I read what you wrote and saw a strong light surrounding it very clearly. I’m a little more intuitive right now than I’ve been in a long while. The memories came with you but spaces have memory as well and I feel you left some light there for the new owner to build from.
I want to learn more on reiki so if you have some places I can go to read and learn more I’d appreciate it greatly - I have a lot of time to read coming up 😉.
The mushroom piece is wonderful - exactly what you needed when you needed it. The universe has sent me a few of those recently too. (Yours was medicinal - I’m eating today and tomorrow anything I want and then clearing my system. Part of pre-op next Sunday is two bottles of magnesium citrate to clear me out and I want that process to be smooth and not… how magnesium citrate can really go, so mostly protein shakes and light things from Monday on.)
I wanted to share one more piece here. I got to meet my transplant coordinator at my pre-op appointment for the first time. We’ve only ever conversed via email and phone. I was overwhelmed the entire time we were together because of the incredible amount of light that came out of every pore from this tiny woman. This is her and I together. The light coming off of her is almost blinding. She does the work of angels on this earth managing a team of specialists who do also do the work of angels on this earth. I’m in great hands across the board but my god this woman has a light I can’t even imagine walking around with every day. She’s been bringing light to the world far longer than I have.
