@kateinpdx ❤️ Recalling with gratitude so many life experiences where the unexpected created positive change that seemed impossible.
Yes, you get it! Thank you <3
@kateinpdx Would love if everyone shared stories of how the unexpected positively impacted their lives. Perhaps it would open up the energy?
Yes, indeed it does!
I read your post then went over to Youtube and the first video I saw was titled:
Caroline Myss - 2025 New Year's Message: Today, anything can happen.
😍
So, no matter what happens over the coming days, let's shake some stuff loose and open up the energy!
Had not heard of her until this video. She has a beautiful perspective on being a co-creator in this world and our lives. To add to it, each day we have the ability to be a Glimmer for someone in need. When open and aware of those around us, we can be that smile, voice of hope, kind word, or meal. Heart centered acts of kindness and compassion reverberate in all directions eventually returning to us when we need it. Am grateful to have experienced this give and receive throughout life.
Has anyone had any enlightenment on the aggression being shown towards Greenland and the Panama Canal? I don't recall anything about this in our Predictions, even way back. It's so odd. My "aha moment" about this is that it is an attempt to model Putin. I sure hope it's just bluster.
Hi Everyone,
I haven’t been around much for months due to family emergencies, etc. I finally had a chance for the first time today to try to meditate and see what I got. Here it is:
Inauguration Day is full of bad behavior.
I see Kash Patel with his hands up and backing away from something.
Mitch McConnell is in the news.
Amy Klobuchar is in the news.
Tesla is in the news.
Elon Musk has his wings clipped (not sure exactly what this means).
I see a lot of unseasonal tornadoes in the middle of the US.
I see Jimmy Carter sitting with the founding fathers chatting and having a good time.
Someone close to Trump turns on him early in his new administration.
University of Georgia is in the news.
I see a group of nuns literally pushing back at something.
I see people along the coastline of Greenland holding hands creating a long chain.
Elephants are in the news.
For the last few weeks, I keep hearing in my head the song, The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics, just popped out of nowhere and keeps playing. Some of you probably know it since it was an international mega hit, albeit 30 years ago. It is an incredibly beautiful and heart wrenching song about a man who failed to reconcile with his father while his father was alive, telling us to connect with our loved ones in the living years, even if we don't see eye to eye.
I know why I'm hearing it now -- it is a message not to break with any loved ones just because they support politics that I find abhorrent, and most people these days feel so divided and hostile towards the other side.
But the song tells me this: We can agree not to discuss politics, if we cannot have those discussions without vitriol. Even though at times I feel angst when around those who embrace the other side, I have learned to put my angst on the back burner and focus instead on my love. We can turn down the volume of our differences, and turn up the volume of our love. It is love that matters, not the political positions of the other person. I do not let them spew their beliefs around me, so we have to have that understanding. But I also realize that people choose sides based on reasons that may have little to do with what you think their reasons are.
I put this point here in Random Predictions because I believe these divided times are going to cause many people to begin choosing to love (love = how they care about, actively feel, and show love for another) from their hearts, rather than choosing who they will love based on their intellectual knowledge of the other's politics. We are going to evolve, mature as a species from these times. We are going to better understand what matters in this life, and we are going to choose love. The other side wants to divide us, but we are going to leap over that divide. Of course, the media will continue to try to divide us. And of course we will continue to abhor the policies coming from the other party. But we are not going to let politics darken our hearts. When these troubling times subside, and they will subside, notice if you have emerged more awake, wiser, happier, with more love in your hearts than before the difficult years began.
@jeanne-mayell That song has always been special to me in the dynamics of my father/daughter relationship fired by the dynamics of my malignant/narcissist mother and his workaholism/former alcoholism and manipulations from my mother and then step-mother. I had to keep quiet and keep dirty laundry at home far too many years.. pretending to be a perfect family.
It was my anthem song until the last 4 years of his life...when we were able to reconnect and resolve many of our differences ... in our living years ... and I see him in my now adult children tears. I was there, with him, the day he passed away. That being said? There are some that we have to step away from for our own mental health. I can still love them ... even if I can not be with them. My family taught me well how to do that when I was shunned from the family for many of the issues we are fighting for today. I will never be known as one who held her tongue in circumstances of abuse or wrongdoing... relatives or friends.
Each year for quite some time now I have posted "Chinese New Year predictions" for the upcoming lunar year. In 2024 I shared them on this forum, and I would like to do that again. These are the predictions for the Year of the Wood Snake (2025-2026):
1. Good things will happen, but most if them will not make the news, What we see on the news will be largely negative.
2. The economy is difficult to predict in Snake years. It is likely that inflation will drop to less than 2.5%; unemployment should decrease to 3.9-4%; and though the stock market will be volatile, it should eke out gains.
3. The war in Ukraine should end. There will be concessions on the part of Ukraine, but the result will generally be seen as a Russian defeat.
4. There will be movement toward peace in the Middle East, though it will not be achieved this year. Actions by Saudi Arabia may slow down the process. We can expect to see the death of one or more Middle East leaders.
5. Even as Ukraine and the Middle East become more peaceful, military conflicts will develop in other parts of the world. Areas of concern include India, Pakistan, Egypt and Vietnam.
6. This year will see its share of earthquakes, hurricanes, mass shootings and other disastrous events, with the focus being on fires, airplane crashes, mining disasters and buildings collapsing.
7. There may be a new pope within the next year. At the very least, expect significant developments related to the Roman Catholic Church.
8. This will be a year for scandals related to political corruption.
9. Concerning various campaign promises made by the new president:
a. Immigration and immigrants will be important issues. There will be more deportations with fewer civil liberties. Important new immigration legislation may be enacted.
b. Tariffs will also be an area of concern. Some new tariffs are likely, but there will be litigation as to whether T is exceeding the authority that Congress has delegated to the executive branch.
c. In is unlikely that the United States will take any action to annex or invade Canada or Greenland. Relying on the 1977 “neutrality treaty” with Panama, the United States is likely to make some effort to re-establish a presence in Panama.
Jeanne,
Such a beautiful and evolved post. Something to really think about. Thank you!
