Beloved,
Everywhere I look, I see souls that are in a quandary. There appears to be so much sadness, anger and confusion in the world. Even our political process is displaying this to us. I have just been through such a state which seemed to last so long as I look back yet as I was going through it, it was a series of events that kept coming. As I solved one situation, another would appear and so unexpectedly.
Even my youngest son, Bruce, is experiencing this.The quandary is showing up in such unusual situations that have not been commonplace in our own reality. His dog got lost in the woods which they both love to explore. One minute the dog is there and the next she isn’t. She was away from my son for 4 hours and all the different avenues that my son tried were to no avail. There were periods of despair, questioning all who might have seen her, going home and then returning again and again to the woods, hoping to catch sight of her. Finally, after the last return to the woods, some men working on the railroad had spotted her and were able to grab her but then…how could they locate my son? I know it was his intuition to ask these railroad men 3 hours before that alerted them to the missing dog and I recognize it was his intuition that led him back to the woods where he would find her being held by these men. Trust your own intuition.
Many emotions went through him in those 4 hours and left him empty of grief and drained of energy afterwards but very grateful and appreciative. Notice that he did not do this journey alone although he FELT alone. When we humans are being challenged either by our beliefs or by events that challenge our normal state of affairs, we do feel alone. But are we? No, of course not, yet our feelings tell us we are. Who or what are we to believe?
When I was going through the same emotions but under different circumstances, I tried to remember to breathe. To concentrate on the input and output of my breath that would initially relax my body and also my mind so I could arrive at a more reasonable solution to whatever was happening. I had my moments of despair and tears and then the release of emotions that I most likely had stored from my past. Emotions that I had buried deep inside of me because I had not been allowed to release them at that particular time of the event. January has been quite a challenging month with all of us experiencing trauma in our own unique way. February is clearing the air as well as your body so you are free to create exactly what you wish. Here is a great article giving a more detailed explanation.
There is so much I wish to share with you this week but I must choose. Right in this moment, I need some “good” news, how about you?

You are not alone; all of us have been experiencing what you have gone through. Know that we are all in this together even when it does not feel like it.
This is for all of us who would like to remember “The Good Old Days” at least for a few minutes. This really brought me back to that time in my life. Enjoy it.
NOW, I dare you not to smile. There is no way you can stop yourself. What if we adults laughed every time we learned how to do something new instead of feeling the struggle that we perceive we are in? This will be put in my favorites to use when I feel I need a smile or a laugh.
