Beloved,

I don’t know about you but I am having some trouble thinking and acting as if today is Friday and not Monday.  After the holiday which was on Thursday, it is natural to feel that way. I hope you had a wonderful 4^th of July with all of the noise and the laughter.

This 4^th of July ran very smoothly here on the lake.  There were ever so many people on the beach all day, at least 3x as much as normal.  The children were having so much fun in the water and digging in the sand.  The teens threw around a small football, then a regular ball and then some game like tennis but at closer range. There was a lot of boat activity, in fact I was out in my kayak at 8am to avoid all the traffic there would be later in the day. This year appears to be a year of big blow up balloons in all forms, even a huge mermaid with this tail that wagged up and down and sideways.  Only the human’s head appeared so it did appear real.

This is the first 4^th of July that some person or persons could not resist setting off fireworks at all hours of the night.  The noise was only from 8:30pm to 10:00pm. Since the chemicals in the smoke bother me, I get to watch the fireworks display from inside my home on my recliner through the safety of my bow window.  It was fun to watch the comradery and the competitors who were showing their displays. On the left side where two homes, in the middle of the lake was a boat and there were three homes to the right who were all taking turns shooting off their displays.  Sometimes one a time and sometimes at the same time, it felt like a band of light in concert with one another.  I wonder if they planned it that way ahead of time. None of the children had sparklers so it was a safe time for all.

It is fun to observe the traffic on the beach right in front of my home.  Most of the time, there is only one family at a time or one person at a time.  It is almost as if they are synchronized as one leaves the beach and then another one shows up.  But yesterday was a day of all being there at the same time.  What a reunion and what fun to watch. I sincerely hope your day was as joyful as mine.

Matt Kahn has a video about The Will of Your Heart.  It is inspiring to watch or listen to and there is a lot of food for thought.  I like to write some profound sayings on little pieces of paper and put them on the table in front of my toilet. If something really hits my heart as I am listening to these teachers, I write it down and rotate them when they no longer have an impact on me.  Instead of reading magazines or books in this special room. I use it as my special alone time to let these great sayings sink deeper into my being.

New Moon Total Eclipse was here two days ago and this is a short explanation from Kate Spreckley of all the energies that are surrounding you and I right now.

Patricia Diana Cota-Robles is giving new meaning to integrating our own Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine as we are truly both. This video also includes what Earth is going through right now and perhaps might explain some events that you are being exposed to.

Hang in there while Jim Self explains his awareness of what irritates you and what irritates me.

Do you know anyone with ALS?  Perhaps you could learn what glucose can actually do.  I am always amazed with these new discoveries because they are happening so fast.  Perhaps it does not feel fast to though who so desperately need it but I like to share the knowledge as this is really a small world and most likely there is someone who needs to know this new breakthrough.

This really touched me, the look on that dog’s face could melt a glacier.  It also made me accurately aware of just how kind and thoughtful humanity is.  A perfect example of why we celebrate the 4^thof July because we are totally free to think or be who we are.

I know this is a little longer newsletter but there seems so much I would like to share.  I wanted to leave you with a smile.  Enjoy,

Love and Light
