HAPPY 240th TO THE UNITED STATES

Beloved,

Happy Fourth of July! Happy 240th to the United States!
And thanks to all of you who have served her well!

This holiday is a joyful one that began with something not joyful, WAR. But….we are celebrating people, humans who have shown so much courage and dedication. We are not celebrating war but rejoicing that the Human Spirit has been willing to forego all of its human comforts and face the fear of the unknown. Kudos to all who contributed to our freedom including those who stayed by the home fires contributing every bit as much as they could. I am saying this in the past tense but I would like to change that to what is happening right now, in the present tense. Americans still have loved ones who are serving our country right now. Let’s give them a shout out and much gratitude for their service. Let’s celebrate humanity as all around this planet, our home, there are humans who are donating their all to overcome poverty, terror, ill health, domination and ignorance. Let’s celebrate the fact that we are one species on one planet and as such, are united into the ONE Body of Humanity.

One of the greatest peace makers on Earth right now, is Panache Desai. I hear very often from people that they do not know what to do with their life, with this moment. They only have questions as they continue with their daily life. This is a FREE seminar that will answer that question.

I am seeing the word GRACE pop up everywhere. Perhaps I notice because my last name is Grace. Many of you probably do not know the way I received that name. I had been married twice and when I got divorced a second time, I screamed at God: “Who am I? I want my real name; I have carried three men’s names, my father’s and my two husbands. I want to know who I am and what my real name is. I was given the name “Grace” by Jesus and it felt right, it felt so good. I felt like I was finally who I was meant to be, like I was home. I delighted in all of the paper work necessary to change my last name legally, my passport was the most difficult as they do not make it easy for you. I didn’t care as I felt I had to be who I was and I had to tell the world who I was.

I had no idea how that would change my life in many ways that I had not anticipated. There are still people alive from my past who do not know me or recognize me by my new name and that was 25 years ago. I am celebrating my 25th anniversary of finally knowing in my being who I am. Of course, I still run into the question of what my next step is but that is part of being human and trusting my heart again and again instead of my brain. You do know that Science has proved irrevocably that our heart has a brain, don’t you? If not, click on the link below and be prepared to be opened to reality.

A VERY DIFFERENT NEWSLETTER

Beloved,

With all the craziness going on, my heart and mind are in turmoil. Perhaps it is the full moon or the Summer Solstice or perhaps it is the news that I cannot get away from. My heart is being called to speak out because the atrocities are bigger than I can handle. In my Spirit, I know we are all ONE but this is a time where I am struggling to see the best in those who govern us, those who we have given our power to. I refuse to let my voice be silent while those I have given power to run ram shod over the people who put them in power yet feel powerless. There are so many more of us than them, why are we not making sure our voices and opinions count. My sense of fairness is being challenged big time by our voting system.

The sit in of the democratic senators of sooo many hours trying to solve the gun problem and the death of so many people, some whom you know and love was after I received this message. Both events deserve our vote so we, as a people, can make our voice heard to those in the House who refuse to care about the ordinary citizens of this country and all around the world. Let us be the Light and the Way shower for others who do not have a voice. Please consider signing this petition and make our choice unmistakable to those who we have given power to.
Dear friends,

Something amazing happened yesterday: Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and 38 other senators staged a 15-hour filibuster until Republican leaders agreed to act on America’s gun violence epidemic. This is a major tipping point following the Orlando tragedy that targeted the LGBTQ community and took 49 lives.

When politicians stick their necks out an issue like gun violence, it’s important they see that we’ll have their backs. Join me in adding your name to this petition now. http://act.weareultraviolet.org/sign/senate_guns_filibuster/?aktmid=tm1655032.810xdn&t=2&source=conf

This song so speaks of what our hearts our saying to the world. We CAN do something about this. Let’s join in harmony and stop the slaughter.

Bless the beasts and the children.

Have you signed the petition or made your voice heard in any way?

I do not like sending out such videos because I believe in seeing the best in everyone. I applaud Senator Elizabeth Warren for her courage. I am sure that Donald Trump has a good side but his thinking of solutions is askew. We cannot and would not take away his freedom of speech but in no way can we allow ourselves to give away our freedom of speech. We already have those in power who only think of themselves and their pocket book rather than the good of the people and this country. WE, as a people, need to stand up for what is good and what is fair. Isn’t that what our country stands for? One thing I thank Donald Trump for is for being the catalyst for us to see the truth in politics and where our hard earned income is going. We DO have a voice, isn’t it about time we use it? When billionaires only try to scam the hard working populace, it is time to stand up and say NO! Regardless of what party or what others believe, go into your heart and find the answer for yourself and your family.

There are so many good stories on the Good News Newsletter that I just cannot separate them. I hope this works to send you the entire one as this is what makes us humans human. THESE are the people who deserve our vote. When the world gets too much for me, I go back and bask in the goodness of the little people of which I am one.

JOY OF FULL MOON AND SUMMER SOLSTICE

Beloved,

We have a lot of special days that are reeking with wonderful energy and possibilities. There is the Solstice Full Moon which precedes the Solstice and the first day of summer. Hoorah. The flowers are everywhere and their fragrance is in the air. The sun sets later and we are having fantastic sunsets, Mother Nature is still the best artist there is and my heart fills with the beauty and the variety that she presents to us. It is this time of the year that I make myself sit and just bask in the ever changing forms and colors that make up the sunset. Actually, the beauty comes more after the sun is set as that is when the colors start and the clouds in all their diversity are framed in ways that no human could conceive.

Yesterday, I returned six unopened jars of grape jelly to the store with a vengeance set in frustration. There is no point in filling up the Baltimore Oriole feeders as the squirrels are emptying them faster than the birds. The Orioles are nesting now so I only see them occasionally. After trying every solution to deter the squirrels, I finally conceded surrender. I have not had this problem before but there are 3 baby squirrels who are fearless and no matter how many times they land on the ground they keep coming back. I did not mind going out three times a day to fill them for the first three weeks the Orioles were here as they are the reason I do this anyway. It was so much fun to watch them. Now there is not as much reason to look as often out the window yet the hummingbirds are still here and the golden finches as well as the other birds that eat regular bird food: they stay at the feeders longer so I get to see them more. I am blessed not to be affected by the predrought conditions, in fact, it is much better for me and for my lawn. Being right next to the lake, there is always plenty of moisture for my lawn and most springs, my lawn is difficult to mow because of the wetness. I am very grateful that there are no alligators in my lake.

Let’s take the time to celebrate what we all do share with others on the planet…our humanity. In this nice weather our hopes arise as we look forward to vacations and family gatherings. This is the time.

My heart goes out to the family of that child that was attacked by the alligator. It is not the parents’ fault and they should not be judged. I heard a lot of people say that the parents should have known better because there are alligators in every pond or water in Florida. I know that vacationers or most people who do not live in Florida are not aware that you never go near water in that state because there is likely to be an alligator in it. How could you not feel safe in Disney World? It is for the child in every person who goes there. Let’s not place blame on the family but balm for their sorrows.

Can we take a moment to send loving energy to ALL humanity that has suffered abuse on this planet? ………..

Every one of us can do something for the downtrodden as is evidenced in this video. Can you feel humanity coming together to help one another? I can, I feel it in my heart and there is so much more evidence and so many stories that confirm that it is a huge growing trend. We humans are finally waking up and reaching out to others. After all, we are one species on one planet. Doesn’t that make us a family of sorts? Family members stick together and when one is showing signs of dealing with emotions that overwhelm them, we all do what we can to ease the pain even when they do not appear lovable.

I tend to focus on stories that wake up my heart with joy. I prefer these to the sometime negative thoughts that run in my mind. If I am in joy then that is what I can share with the world. Here’s a good one.

Here is someone finally speaking up about something that no one talks about. Why do we feel ashamed to mention information about something that no one wants to face. Here is a good solution and I thank the person who had the courage to write about it.
