YOUTHFUL JOY

Beloved,

Is it me or did summer heat come in June instead of in August? We had a 4 day heat wave of over 90 degrees, in fact, I have already gone in the lake 5 times and I usually wait until August when the lake water is warmer. I really was questioning my memory until I realized I went from my heavy robe into my summer one????? I now realize I never graduated from the winter one into the spring one, I went directly into the summer one. I am now chuckling at myself and also at Mother Nature.  She just loves to keep us guessing at what she will do next.

I have so many Baltimore Orioles this year and just a few hummingbirds.  What do they know that we don’t? Yet I saw a small frog the other day and they have practically gone into nonexistence.  When I first moved here 24 years ago, their song at night used to help me fall asleep.  There have not been any frog sounds for quite a few years but maybe they will come back now. It is amazing just how much we take for granted that is all around us. That is one gift from the corona virus, the time to hear and see all that we were too busy to notice before.

So many people are out of work that the beach right in front of me has a steady stream of parents and children who are enjoying the water. I love to watch these little children who are either not afraid of the depth of water so they need watching every second or they are leery of the loss of stability when they go deeper.  All personalities are on display but their wonderment is a joy to behold.

Lee Harris is giving an interview with Rebecca Shaper who is new to me.  I found her so interesting and hope you will be touched by her love and compassion for her brother. Rebecca Schaper is an author, filmmaker, philanthropist and mental health advocate. She co-directed and executive produced the award-winning documentary “A Sister’s Call” about her mission to bring her brother, Call Richmond, Jr. back from the depths of homelessness and schizophrenia. In this episode, Lee and Rebecca discuss how this divinely guided vision that took her 14 years to complete, led to deep healing and transformation in the family. Rebecca speaks compassionately to the unfortunate labels in mental health and why her mission is to give people hope so they never give up.

An unexpected moment in time can bring such JOY to everyone seeing this.

Children are irresistible when they allow their hearts to guide them.  We adults could learn so much from them if we just allowed our hearts to flow like theirs.

I just realized that most of this newsletter is about our younger generations. Can you tell I am in the elder generation?  These young ones so inspire me with their natural expressions of love. This young one deserved the prize for her creation which came naturally from HER HEART.

This prayer to Mother Mary touched me deep into my soul.  I just want to share that deep love with you.

“BE INSPIRED”

Beloved,

I love living on this lake where I have Lakeland Beach club right in front of me.  I have been kayaking but not as often as my heart wishes to go.  I can walk down to the beach once a day so I choose just when I go or should I say the state of the water decides when I can go.  If it is windy or the water choppy, I do not go out in the kayak so then I go down to visit with the adults and children that are having a blast being in the water.  It is so much fun to watch them having fun.  One thing I do not like is the fact that one of my neighbors has 2 jet skis and 2 young men that love to make them hop up and down and stir up the water.  It is not only noisy but they break up the peace that the water brings as well as being a threat to the many kayakers and also the mermaids that love to swim out in the lake without a boat or larger unit that is easy to spot.  When I see them now, I try to remember another use for the jet skis.  Check this scene out.

Thank God, I have not gotten the corona virus.  I have a person I trust giving you the real lo-down on this virus so I wish to send this to you so it might allay your fears or at the least make you wiser about this threat that is all around you.  It is global.  I have a wry grin on my face as I realize that all the wars on this planet have never affected the WHOLE planet at the same time and a little microbe that is invisible to the naked eye has done what all the nuclear power and ammunition could not do.

“BE INSPIRED” shared with us by Dee Wallace. What a wonderful graduation speech this is as it is also an inspiration to every one of us.

LIGHTHEARTED MOMENTS

Beloved,

When I read this article, it explained to me why I do not see color of people as I have always felt that we are one species on one planet.  I could not understand how the bigotry ran amuck as I was white yet I did not fit in either as I was born into a poor family with many problems. When you are of the so called lower class, color does not matter as you are lumped into one category with not much hope for your future. This article should be on the front page of every newspaper and spoke of in every newsfeed on TV.  Once understood, it will open many eyes.

This is truly what our world needs right now.

A perfect example is this story

Would you like another one?  I think the more the merrier (we will be). These elevate my mood by allowing me at this moment to forget my surroundings and what is going on in the world and just BE in this moment.  These are also good to listen to repeatedly as they do not lose their flavor.

One last story of a good thing that came out of the corona virus even if it is 37 years later.
