PRECIOUS MEMORIES OF THANKSGIVING

Posted on by

Beloved,

I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving. It is one holiday that we can treat ourselves with good food whether you are alone or dining with friends or family. The very fact that we have food that we have not had to grow or hunt for is a reason for thanks. There is such a bounty that we can choose whatever it is we wish to eat. Except….real turkey gravy. I discovered this when I thought I would be alone on this holiday and my mouth was watering for turkey and mashed potatoes with gravy. I need to be gluten free so that narrows my choices. Although I could get real turkey in the deli, which I did, it never seems to taste like the roasted turkey you cook yourself, even the texture is different. I went to a specialty store and found packets of turkey gravy but after I cooked it, I could not eat it. It was so salty and tasteless. I had bought 4 packets (which I promptly threw in the trash), 2 for me and 2 for my son who also needs to be gluten free. I finally settled for chicken gravy bought at Stop n shop which was at least pleasant to taste. After a Thanksgiving invitation from my son for today, I decided I would eat the turkey dinner I had made for myself yesterday. I can’t wait to have “real” turkey and gravy though; my mouth is watering as I write about this. Although you can tell I like the holiday fixings, the thing I am most grateful for is the camaraderie of family and friends.

I am very thankful for you. You are a friend who I “feel” every time I write my newsletter. Without you, there would be no need for me to write a newsletter. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you and share some intimate moments of my life while I pass along wisdom and laughter from others.

As I was in my morning meditation and prayers yesterday, I heard quite a ruckus outside. I finally gave up and looked out my window and saw geese, 48 of them, all squawking because a cat had come onto the beach. This is the time of year when the geese gather together and practice their aerial maneuvers and line up before they actually fly south together. The cats like the large kitty litter box but come especially to get a drink of water. Usually the cat will go to the edge of lake while the geese retreat further out into the lake. This particular day, the geese decided to make a huge fuss and I believe it was because there were so many of them, they could. Well, the cat did not get his drink but he was not about to show any fear. He stayed clear of the water and slowly sauntered across the beach and out of sight.

This is for the child in you and for any other children with you now.

This is for you to remember how you used to kick up your heels. It is mind boggling to me how this could possibly be done but I don’t know much about computers so there must have been digital technology involved. I was in awe the whole way through. What a way to bring so many memories together.

The heart of this child is a model for all of us adults. He is so nonchalant. He saw a need and did his best to fulfill it. In the eyes of a child, there is no color, no race, no religion only another human he might be able to help. I am thankful that there are souls in the world who portray this.

WHAT IS AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW?

Posted on by

Beloved.

Boy, am I late or what? My son called me this morning; in fact he woke me up because I had gone back to bed. He said he could come this morning to fix my dryer which was no longer vented to the outdoors. I thought I could get my RAV4 all loaded for the set up this weekend before he got here. Since I need to take my scooter along with all my set up equipment, I needed to pack it differently than I did in other years. Since I need my scooter to go get help to unload my car and bring it all to my booth, I needed to have it ready to unload first. My son, Steve surprised me as I was coming out of the house with one of my wheeled crates. I really am so glad he was here as he could give me suggestions on how to get it all in the car and, of course, he could help me load it.

I made coffee (our tradition) while he was trying to attach the flexible hose to the dryer and to the vent. Finally, he had to go to a hardware store to get some new hose so that took a while. Our favorite gluten free restaurant was closed as they were all celebrating the wedding of their daughter and sister and I knew he was really hungry so I cooked some food for us. We ate when he got back and he got the dryer all hooked up. I won’t have all that steam coming into my house anymore. Hooray. When he left, I had to leave to go set up for the Expo and now that I am back, I can talk to you.

My knee is doing a lot better and I am in less pain now than I have been in a long time. John of God is still working on me and I am grateful but I can’t walk far as it gets the inflammation going so I am still using the scooter for now. The Natural Living Expo in Marlborough, Ma this weekend is being held at the Best Western Royal Plaza Trade Center. If you have ever been to the Expo, you know just how large that room is. I am at booth 11 which is quite a walk from the front of the building and the Ladies’ Room is quite far also so I will need the scooter while I am there. The people were so helpful and came out to my car and loaded it all on a dolly and brought it to my booth. I cannot pull the wheeled crates and still ride my scooter. I am grinning as I try to picture that scenario. I hope you can make the Expo as there is more than you can see in even one day.

On my way there, a beautiful rainbow appeared and it seemed to end right where the Expo is. I believe that was a message to me, telling me that we will be at the end of the rainbow. All is Well, even if I have to scale down what I bring. I am getting many AHA moments and teaching moments as I release my perceived habit of always being prepared and bringing more than what I really need. I am being forced to partly surrender to asking for help and that is a lifelong lesson for me. As long as I have a table, I can just be who I am and that is enough. As I was trying to decide which links to send you, I came across this one that speaks about the rainbow. I believe the rainbow I saw was for you also so see what you think about this perspective, it warmed my heart.

This article hit home for me as this is what humanity is coming to even if some things don’t seem that way. It is such a better world when we help each other.

Here is another perfect example of asking and then receiving.

Who doesn’t like chocolate? It’s about time that most of us realize that there are many benefits and this will give you an excuse if you feel you need one. And…..you don’t need to rake the leaves either.

CALM IN THE STORM

Posted on by

Beloved,

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

A lot of events have been showing up that used to send me into a tizzy. It is so wonderful to be able to keep my “cool” and handle the situations with a clear head and also a clear heart. My heartfelt belief is that we as a species have come through some turbulent times which challenged us so much that what is happening now is small in comparison. I don’t like to always look back at the past yet it has so much wisdom for us if we take the time to decipher what is happening in the moment with that hard-earned wisdom.

I was due a credit on my charge card and even though I check it item by item when I get the paper carrying all the charges, something guided me to check it out on line. To my surprise, I had (4) $100 charges that said Category: Telephone Service. I had recently purchased a new cell phone at Walmart’s so I assumed that was the error was. My deduction is that they had put incorrect data when I switched my minutes to the new one although it was still a Tracfone like my old one. I checked out the Description and it said: GTL *Inmate phone svc in Alabama. ?????

First I checked with my charge card company but they could offer me no explanation. I then called the 877 number on my bill and discovered much to my surprise that someone had used my credit card to give an inmate $400 worth of phone time. I was told it was more than likely someone who knew me because the charge was done electronically and the person would have to know my zip code, my security code, and my name as well as my credit card number. I still had the card in my possession and I wracked my brain to remember somewhere were the card was out of my sight but could come up with nothing. The person could not give me any more information and suggested that the only way to access who had made the charges was to call the police and file a credit card fraud charge.

I then called the police and they offered to send the State Police as we are a small town and do not have a full schedule of officers. I declined as it was not a serious offense enough to bring them in and asked for an officer from my local police. He came over and took all the information and said he would call me when he got the information I was looking for. I was not frightened but very curious; I wanted to know who it was and how they had gotten my info without my knowledge. The officer called me two days later and said that he would have to go to court and get a legal court order? Before the GTL could give him the info. Sooooo, I am now waiting to see what transpires next.

Of course, I then contacted my charge card company again and they canceled my credit card and credited me with the $400. It is time consuming to have to contact all the companies that I have used for years and now have to change the credit card number. It will certainly keep my awareness sharp as I need to remember to do that every time I pay them. During this day, I kept being amazed at how calm I was and how I did not feel like a victim. My breathing was regular even though every now and them, I would take a deep breath to bring myself back to the present moment during all these negotiations. Today I came across another deeper meaning of breathing. It really hits home and I have felt myself being more and more aware of my breathing and my trust in God. I hope this brings you peace of heart.

Do you remember a few weeks back when a drug manufacturer hiked the price of a drug 1,000%. Here is another response to the ridiculousness of what that man did.

Do you remember “Back to the future 2”? I know it made all the news as that movie had predictions for 2015. It is funny to see the reenactment of this on Jimmy Kimmel. Enjoy and smile.

Here is another perspective of your breath. It is a tool that is with you always yet you only need to be aware of it. What an easy way to be who we are.

Is there any such thing as an empathy muscle? Are the movies of today making us harden our hearts to disasters or any other kind of tragedy a human may face?
