Not sure if this is the right place for this info but….
This might be the beginning of the end of the republicans who aided and abetted tfg to lead an insurrection against our country. This book is coming out in September and from Jamie Gangel (reporter and wife of one of my favorite authors Daniel Silva) on CNN it is a doozy. Written by Bob Woodward, he interviewed over 200 former white house staff about all that happened from the loss of the election to Biden’s inauguration. The book should give the 1/6 commission lots of info and names to interview.

Today seems like a particularly heavy energy day. In the spirit of finding the good, this article found me today. It's about how California's Bay Area is helping Afghan refugees. While the article only applies to the Bay area, it gives some direction to those who are guided to help.

Today seems like a particularly heavy energy day.
Oh my goodness, I thought it was just me - felt drained and defeated most of the day. Thank you for sharing this. At this point if we had the room in our house I’d volunteer us to take on some of these poor displaced humans.
@dannyboy there is an enormous negative pile-on surge with the most current of events. A wise person once told me that the more darkness is threatened the harder it rattles the cage. Thus, we must be headed in the right direction.
I too would take in a family if I could, but am happy to provide supplies to help get those in need on their feet.
@dannyboy omg yes. It started when I woke up with this song blaring in my head: Hit me with your best shot by Pat Bennatar. That's a good song, right? Then I opened my computer with this headline story: The Last Best Shot. It's a shout out to all that we must get vaccinated. I am so glad they wrote that story.
The Afghan tragedy is also swirling and dizzying us. Massachusetts is also making room for Afghan refugees.
The Haiti earthquake is also another situation needing action.
I feel all this with butterflies in my abdomen. It's unsettling. But it's just energy rising up within me. It's just a call to action.
I have a knowing voice that it will be okay. That other people, not me, need those warnings. But because I'm an empath, I'm going to get them too. Sending healing to all.
And tonight is Circle of Light. So we will send healing to this world.
I live in Northern VA. One of the first US stops for the Afghan interpreters and other evacuated refugees is Fort Lee military base in central VA. A task force at Fort Lee has been assigned to provide temporary housing, medical screening, food, religious support and other necessities. There is a resettlement site in my county, through Lutheran Social Services.
Virginia has welcomed 8,560 refugees from Afghanistan in the past six years, and Governor Northam has made a moral commitment to take thousands more and continue to serve as a safe harbor.
Speaking of our governor: Northam's term is up this year, and there is an election in November. Terry McAuliffe is the Democratic nominee running against Glenn Youngkin, a wealthy Republican businessman. They are extremely close in the polls. Youngkin has been endorsed by the 45th and supports policies similar to those expressed by Ducey and other Republican governors. It took Youngkin months to acknowledge that Biden is our legitimate President. Among some of his proposed policies: Youngkin has expressed his opposition to mask mandates in schools (which Northam just instituted in Virginia), vaccine passports and vaccine mandates. He has encouraged people to get vaccinated, but does not require his campaign to get the vaccine. Youngkin is a law-and-order candidate (read between the lines) and tying McAuliffe to the rising crime rates in VA (fyi, McAuliffe was governor before Northam, but in VA you can't run for two consecutive terms). Youngkin paints himself as a moderate, but nothing could be further from the truth.
I'm nervous about this election. If Youngkin wins, he'll eliminate or scale back all of the progressive achievements made by McAuliffe and Northam. I can't get any intuitive read on this election because my emotions are involved. If any of you do, please share! Thanks.

This entire week has be incredibly bleak and filled with the heaviest of energies.
A dark thick molasses syrupy heaviness where the only way to navigate out is to face off the evil gatekeeper Stephen Miller at midnight in a graveyard filled with death eaters.
This would be a great week to for a legion of angels to make their presence known. I have a feeling there will be stories of angels being told about this time for generations to come. We just haven't heard them yet.
We can ask for angels to come. We can at least to that.

Me too. I've had a hell of a time this summer emotionally, what with my brother passing and COVID running rampant and everything else going on in the world. I have chronic anxiety issues and the recent events do not mix well with that.
Yesterday was really bad. My brother's memorial was ten days ago-- it went well-- and I was just starting to pull out of the emotional hole when yesterday morning my son woke up sick with a low-grade fever and intestinal havoc. So of course the first thing I do is inwardly panic that he might have COVID and we're all going to get sick and/or have to quarantine and on and on... I was having a hard time functioning but -- miraculously, I got him an immediate appointment at the Univ. student health care center. he went, they checked him out thoroughly and said it was probably an intestinal bug and unlikely to be COVID , and only then was I able to deal. We both got COVID tests and the results came back negative today. WHEW. Son is feeling almost normal now.
My stomach area (solar plexus chakra) has been knotted up with anxiety for weeks. Today I found an online music recording that seemed to help-- here it is if anyone is interested>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZzXZS5q6bk
Just saw this article posted by a friend about the heaviness this week, in particular. Good stuff to keep in mind:
"So I try and remember, 1. We are still living through a global pandemic and that means the baseline of anxiety and grief is higher than ever and shared by everyone. 2. The world is on fire literally and metaphorically. But 3. I only have so much water in my bucket to help with the fires. The more exposure I have to the fires I have NO WATER to fight, the more likely I am to get so burned, and inhale so much smoke that I cannot help anymore with the fires close enough to fight once my bucket is full again.
So I try and tell myself that It’s ok to focus on one fire.
It’s ok to do what is YOURS to do. Say what’s yours to say. Care about what’s yours to care about.
That’s enough."

This is very good. I am trying to limit my exposure to the "fires" in the news every day but I keep peeking.
