Creative Mending

I had some text exchange with my firstborn grandchild, Brad, sharing emotional reactions and perceptions of the current conditions. Some we love dearly entertain the notion that COVID-19 is a conspiracy. I shared with him a recent writing:

It Hurts

Old doors close so new ones can open. Don’t get stuck on what fell apart just because it hurts. Transformation requires growth and letting go.

~Brahma Kumaris Thought for Today

My friend, Kathy, lost her husband on January 18, 2020. She had been his care-giver. Their home was visited almost daily by friends and […]

Make May Day a Mask Day

Today is May Day. It is a day to hang flowers on the door of someone you love. In 1886, more than 300,000 workers walked off their jobs demanding 13,000 businesses honor an 8-hour work day on May Day.

We know the value of doing something that benefits another. And we value doing what […]

Emerald Isle Musings

WORD FOR THE DAY

We did not ask for this room or this music; we were invited in.

Therefore, because the dark surrounds us, let us turn our faces toward the light.

Let us endure hardship to be grateful for plenty…

The term is short for “staycation.”

Nothing is not the Divine

“Lightworkers, you are not politicians, you are not and it is not up to you to reveal lies or march in the streets and point out the wrong things.

The Soul Journey right now says that you are here to be compassionate with those who are scared of lies and diseases or any other […]

Homeward Bound

Today latex gloves and a stylish face cover have come forth.

We are prepared….

I feel bathed in prayer and love.

Packing, Deep Cleaning, and Blessing

The one who says nothing good came of this is not yet listening. ~ Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Preparations for our safe travels back to Michigan from our Pine Island Paradise are underway here—packing, deep cleaning, blessing…. this season is like none other. For the first time EVER, we will not visit with our […]
