@ghandigirl I’m so sorry. I’m praying that all will be well with you. Peace dear friend. Sending you love and light. ?
I do not claim great intuitive skills but for what it is worth, I got a wash of strength (yours) when I read your post. I do not feel worried about you, however, I wonder if it might help to visualize some sort of interior cleansing, whatever works for you, as simple as broom and dustpan, and then I keep wanting to shake my body as if to shake it off, (on your behalf). My reaction seems odd even to me but because there are no negative side effects to this simple suggestion, I will pass it along in case it resonates with you.
@ghandigirl, I'm sorry. I really like @lovendures' idea of using your creativity as an outlet for your frustration, as well as @raincloud's cleansing visualization.
Sending you prayers of peace and protection, my friend. You'll get to the other side of this. ?
And so it begins. Day 2 of my daughter's senior year in college and she has confirmation that she has been exposed to someone with covid. She is very careful but we shall see.
At least this year she is vaccinated. A different level of fear than last year but still...
So the CDC announced today that seniors and high risk individuals should not travel on cruise ships even if VACCINATED!
That will likely leave a majority people who don't care what the CDC says now traveling on Cruise ships since a majority are seniors anyway.
Thank you everyone.
My two other coworkers had the rapid test and were negative for Covid. They had much more exposure than I. Learning this on the last day of work was helpful.
I am preparing for two craft fairs and have been busy with repairing several pieces. I also had two dreams which lead me to believe I'll be all right.
I am now masking up again and washing my hands more frequently.
I am also worrying about my daughter and her safety at her new school for her master's degree. Since we don't communicate at all, I am just sending love and protection. Now I must work on sending that to myself as well.
The care and friendship here is much appreciated. Having a place to talk helps.

This opens the door to mandate vaccines by schools and places of employment.. and perhaps reassure some fence sitters.
Don't know that it will encourage any of its base followers...the debacle in Cullman,AL Saturday showed that.

They won’t take the COVID vaccine but they would rather take horse and cow de-wormer. I don’t even understand it’s not made for humans and it’s for parasites ?♀️
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is urging people to stop taking veterinary drugs to treat or prevent Covid-19 after receiving multiple reports of patients who have been hospitalized after "self-medicating with ivermectin intended for horses," according to the federal agency.
You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it," the FDA tweeted from its official account on Saturday

I was arguing with someone about this very thing. They tried to equate my use of elderberry during cold and flu season as being "the same thing" - but I had to remind them elderberry is a natural remedy that doesn't have adverse side effects - if I'm wrong I'm at least getting some nutritional value from it, and I only pop a couple a day - ivermectin has a lot of troubling side effects: https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/why-you-should-not-use-ivermectin-treat-or-prevent-covid-19
@journeywithme2 While I knew the news was coming, it still made me happy - especially since Pfizer is the one I got :-)
While we have seen some marked uptick in vaccinations lately I don't know that FDA approval is really going to sway any of TFG's people. Maybe some of the fence sitters but some of the fence sitters in my life have shifted their stance whenever the goal post moves, so I expect to hear a lot of "FDA may have approved it but it's still too new" from a few colleagues when I'm back in the office tomorrow. *sigh*.
One had it (COVID) last year and talks about natural immunity. While there is a little to that it's not what she claims it is. Thankfully her office is far away from mine and she never leaves it.
@dannyboy Yes it is an anthelmintic,insecticide used for treating parasites in cattle,swine,sheep,goats,horses and canines. That Heartguard you give your dog each month? ( I almost hesitate to say it in case it causes someone to eat their dogs heartworm prevention.)
There is much more to it than that tho, as you can read here : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33189582/
It is NOT recommended to try it for covid in humans anymore than bleach and other "cures" out there and there are proven and safe vaccines now!!!! FFS even their leaders got the vaccines!!!!! Yet they boo'd him in Cullman,AL Saturday when he "encouraged" his base to get vaccines now. Darwin awards being handed out everywhere!!!!
In watching all these anti-vaxxers, I realize we are witnessing mass psychosis. They are brainwashed by the misinformation they receive on Fox News, Facebook and right wing extremist sites. It’s just unreal and unsettling and deeply, deeply disturbing. We’ve never experienced anything like this in our lifetimes. After watching these defiant, angry people act out in public, I’ve decided I don’t care if they don’t like masks and vaccines and science and truth. I’ve had it. They should be ostracized for their bad behavior because most of the country is horrified by this new pandemic of the unvaccinated.
Bluebelle, this is so well said!
Every single thing!
It is NEVER ok to put your "freedom" above the health and well-being of others. It has never has been ok. It is reckless willful endangerment of others.
In my kitchen I have the saying "Stand Your Ground, It's Sacred".
Thanks for this beautifully written powerful reminder.
I’m just fed up and not inclined to cater to the crazy.
This is a perfectly written sentence expressing your conviction and upset yet articulated with such civility and decorum. You are certainly standing in your sacred ground my friend. Can you see my smile?
@bluebelle, Thank you, dear friend! You've so beautifully expressed everything I've been feeling. And I love that you requested to be moved out of that exam room. The only way we can change things is by honoring ourselves first, by stating the truth and boldly living it.
@lovendures, I have that same saying hanging in my home:
Stand Your Ground, It's Sacred.
Coincidence? I think not! We're all of the same tribe, and we will get through this together. And I am grateful for every one of you in this blessed community.
On my refrigerator are the following 3-4 inch magnets and how they are placed.
First Row: Embrace Hope * Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does. * Embrace Hope ( I have 2) * Kind
Second Row: Chose Love * Stand Your Ground, It's Sacred * Chose Love (2nd one) * Kind ( 2nd one)
The Embrace Hope, Chose Love and Kind are each written on top of a colorful heart.
A many of you know, my eldest daughter is an elementary music teacher in Texas.
She teaches over 600 students in person. Classes began on Thursday.
No virtual teaching options for families this year (as per state mandate). No mandated masks (as per state mandate) and NONE of her students are eligible for the vaccination.
She is one of the few on campus wearing a mask, including staff and students. She is fully vaccinated.
So I ask you all, How many people do you think have a CONFIRMED case of covid at her school in 4 days since back to school?
Five. 3 staff and 2 students.
Careless. Intentional. Disregard. For. Human. Life.
I'm hopeful this, curated from Instagram will give everyone a small chuckle.
