found objects (and the ones i tripped over)

“It’s as if those 14 years had been wadded up and stuffed back on some lower shelf in the art studio only to tumble out and trip me up out of the blue… And what did I trip over? Two diagnoses. Two autoimmune disorders. TWO. What?? How could this happen? I am connected. I am deeply spiritual. I’ve done the work ~ for decades. I know who I am!!!”

an angelic intervention? (yes)

“So was my Bassett hound an angel in disguise? Was it an emissary? Was it a useful tool of guides and angels? Given the before and after, I’m pretty convinced. I would very likely have been seriously injured or dead (dead is fine, maimed not so much) and would no doubt have done damage to others.”

tell me zsa zsa

“It’s one thing to say “I am the light!” when we are surrounded by the blaze of our fellow souls. It’s quite another to be immersed in the travails of human life and to come to see that we still shine.” Brenda didn’t really believe she was all of that until she stepped out of her tired Brenda suit and into her full Zsa Zsa magnificence.

but it won’t stop the rain …

What if we do everything right and things still go wrong? (If you’re experiencing the absolute JOY of the “law” of attraction in action, skip this one.) But if you’re not, know that is still possible to live in peace AND with joy, even when times are hard.

can our loved ones in spirit leave us?

Our people do not leave us. They may leave our awareness and we can work to get that back. To a degree. Mostly an unsatisfying degree. It’s hard to give up constancy. It activates all of the why’s and a sense of unfairness and that deep, irreparable feeling of having something stolen from us. It isn’t the same. I wish I could say it was. But for many of us ~ me included ~ what comes after grief can bring incredible gifts. That is absolutely true and I am so very grateful it’s been my experience that after a long time of the most hopeless misery, I found something that helped and healed not only my broken heart, but a fear of death that held me captive for decades.

and on this day, Mike died

I was huddled in the corner of the room crying, a blanket over my head. Brenda was next to me in an ER bed, crying from pain. In the midst of chaos and sorrow, a shiny sign from my dead husband. And only hours later, we were laughing so hard the nurses shushed us. “All our darkness will turn to light.” It’s true.

a fabulous tool for LIFE!

It is very rare that I feel led to share something like this — and I get nothing for doing so. Just hoping that others may find this as useful as I have. Peace, centeredness, connection with spirit. All of the good things are here.
