@jeanne-mayell If you and the others couldn't tell by my very crazy posts leading up to the transplant, I completely get and understand this. Everyone was like "You're going to be so nervous and scared." and I'd tell them I wasn't, and they'd nod agreeingly and say "Yes, but you're GOING to be so nervous and scared" and honestly I never was. Somehow, without even trying I got to the place you're getting at here with the election. The outcome of the surgery didn't matter, I was at peace because I set out to do the thing, I did the thing, and it was happening no matter what at that point. I was along for the ride. (And what a ride!)
I'm feeling peaceful about the election because I, like many, have seen such strikingly similar things for the year to come that I no longer feel the need to focus on and stress about it. (Ask me how I'm feeling in September though lol). I also recognize my part in all this is small. I'll cast my vote and go about my day.
In the meantime I'm writing my book about the liver journey. I've got 20 solid pages into it and have had no shortage of wonderful humans volunteer to do some reading and editing of it for me. The next 13 months are going to be "belt tighteners" for me and my family (some money I borrowed from my mom for my Ed. S. degree that she wanted paid back faster than normal). Instead of worrying about it I've decided to jump all in with the frugal lifestyle which means a lot of staycations and activities as a family.
I'm enjoying friendships and local family. I'm working further on myself (I have another 50 pounds to lose and I've set next June as my goal) and one year from tomorrow I'll be getting on a plane for Europe for a WW2 teacher trip tour.
There's lots of great things to focus on and enjoy.
@jeanne-mayell He was going to be released to rehab (like checking out of the hospital) but now they're saying they may send him home this week because what he was supposed to learn at rehab he's already done in his room. BUT - his liver enzymes rose again in his last round of bloodwork so they want to make sure he's not rejecting this liver too. Further from the woods than he was before though!
@dannyboy Back in 2008-2009, my husband’s employer furloughed all employees across the corporation rather than laying people off. What was nominally a 10% pay cut turned out to be more like 30% in real take home pay. We did what you’re preparing to do. We lived frugally and it was empowering to realize that we could control our spending more than we ever thought possible. When the furlough period ended, it was satisfying that we had weathered the storm and learned a lot about self discipline and money management. You’re going to be empowered by your new endeavor, too.
@Jeanne-Mayell @Bluebelle, @Lovendures
I'm not sure if this is where to post this because even though it was engendered by thoughts of the debate and the election-to-be it is really more spiritual than political. I thought about the Circle thread, but that didn't feel exactly right. It IS about the debate and the election, and democracy, yet when I saw the word Transcendence it drew me in immediately. It started as just me but evolved as kind of a Spirit "Ted Talk" about manifestation. Please feel free to move it to wherever it needs to go.
These began as my thoughts , guided by Spirit, to use to affirm for the debate and the coming days, weeks, and months leading to the joyous RE-ELECTION of JOE BIDEN as PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA. When my hands stopped, I said to Spirit—this is a LOT are you sure you want me to share ALL of this? Perhaps one or two is sufficient.
The response I received is that whatever speaks to you use, whatever does not, bypass. Each one of these thoughts engendered by Spirit to me, is a gem to use as you wish, when you wish, how you wish. Each one is powerful in and of itself and will do Light’s work. With that understood, here is what Spirit gave me today. Affirm the one or more of the following at least once daily at the same time each day. Always begin: With good to all concerned, Free Will intact and conclude with This or something even better now manifests.
I GIVE THANKS that President Joe Biden is filled with vibrant health, wisdom, speaking clarity, and the strength to not give in to any “baiting” and positive humor.
I GIVE THANKS that President Biden is SEEN as vibrant in mind and body, filled with positive energy, wise responses, and physical health.
I GIVE THANKS that President Biden holds steady when bombarded by dark energy and shines through that dis-easement of dark by using the LIGHT within him that is always funded by his own Soul Goodness and compassion.
I GIVE THANKS that the Angelic Hosts, the Ascended Teachers, and the Creator are present for President Biden, whose unshakable Faith in his Creator, in America, and in Lighted Wisdom and Freedom for all, stand as the strengths of a Warrior of Light.
I GIVE THANKS that President Biden’s voice is strong with Peace and TRUTH in all statements and responses when attacked by those who would glorify the dark.
I GIVE THANKS that the Founding Fathers and Mothers of America, and the Ever Vigilant Beings of Light stand with President Biden at all times, but especially during this debate and the months leading up to the election in November, 2024.
I GIVE THANKS that George Washington, who gave up a proposed kingship and instead insisted on a PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER, stands with President Biden during this debate.
I GIVE THANKS that the Higher Beings of all spiritual philosophies stand with America and Liberty for all living on Earth during this battle between Truth and darkness.
I GIVE THANKS that the sad and ill soul of t is seen AS HE IS, truly ill and lost, damaged beyond our comprehension by the dark, and that t is NOW known to his followers as completely inappropriate for governing.
I GIVE THANKS that the dis-easement of t’s dementia symptoms and aphasia monologues and behaviors are NOW seen clearly for what they are, illness and dark, thus incompatible now and always with governing, anywhere, anytime.
I GIVE THANKS that those who are themselves lost in illusion about t and fascism now SEE his illness and the danger his darkness brings to Democracy.
I GIVE THANKS that the false love engendered in t’s maga followers’ is transformed into comprehension about this man whose soul has been infected, poisoned, and imprisoned by darkness and hate. We do not, must never condone—instead, we must comprehend the darkness without entering it ourselves. It commands him, it does not command us. Hate is hate is hate is hate, and we risk infection when we subscribe to hate. Instead, give that fear/hate/darkness to the Angels and Higher Beings and they WILL transmute for us.
I GIVE THANKS that I am capable of acknowledging my own fears and the door to darkness but then I release it to dissolve into dust then reform and fly away as a dove of Peace.
I GIVE THANKS that Democracy shines brightly throughout the debate and this turning point opens the way for those who have been lost in illusion about t, so that they SEE the correctness of Democracy, they SEE the fallacy of the dark’s use of t and t’s soul-illness.
I GIVE THANKS that the soul that is t (and those others named or unnamed, who wish to lead in darkness) are now held in the court of the Creator while the Light of Truth and Justice offers healing for all souls who have been lost in darkness in America and across the Earth.
I GIVE THANKS that the perversion of dark christian nationalism, which envelops many souls in America, is NOW transmuted with Light.
I GIVE THANKS that t and his followers’ actions/behaviors give way to the Brilliance of Lighted Governing.
I GIVE THANKS that the Creator’s Light is always and ever the Foundation and present reality of America and Earth, and that the dark underbelly of these past decades, in America and elsewhere, IS NOW AND FOREVER DIMINISHED AND DISSOLVED.
I GIVE THANKS that Humanity rises to the level of LIGHTED HEALING in the weeks and months ahead.
I GIVE THANKS that all dictators across earth give way to the Brilliance of Lighted Governing.
I GIVE THANKS that Spirit loves us, loves America, loves Humanity and are with us, always and ever.
I GIVE THANKS that this or something EVEN BETTER, something I cannot even imagine, now manifests.
It is done. It is complete. Amen and Amen.
Afternote: Giving Thanks for something says the desire has been (past tense) created. To hope is wonderful, but a hope is “not here yet” the desire is “wanted but not yet achieved.” It is important to Affirm as if it already exists for there is no time in the etheric where manifestation begins. Give Thanks because thanks giving is the pathway of gratitude, a facet of Love. Giving Thanks makes your desire something accomplished, rather than something wanted but not yet present.
@tesseract Thank you, thank you. What a beautiful message that is and it is just the antidote to all the media hysteria about the debate and election. I am going to read this again and again, savoring the positive focus of Spirit. And I will start the practice of giving thanks for Biden’s re-election, for his strength and focus. In fact, I’m just going to go down that list of affirmations and will share it with my friends. Sending you peace and gratitude. May you shelter under the shadow of The Wing.
