Hands Upon HUMANity

Cancer, it's not so bad. It taught me the importance of Love. Forgiveness.

I am blessed to have strangers share their struggles and their epiphanies.

Today at work a family visited my til.
Chit chatting and the husband shared some physical side effects from having taken chemo. I could feel my heart opening in response to his sharing as I observed his family as he spoke.

What really touched my Soul and brought tears ro my eyes and all manner of an enveloping love and warmth is when he shared that yes, he had cancer and that, you know, it wasn't such a bad thing because...(are you sitting down?) it taught him to Love. What is REALLY important. The value of forgiveness.
At this point we are having a moment. A deep understanding and connective moment. At work.

I shared I experienced a lot in my life and back in 2006 what came to me is "Love is the answer, Forgiveness is the key". He nodded and said, exactly.

There was a bit more chit chat about how God places people in our lives and works in amazing ways.

Over the years I have been blessed to experience the challenge and ultimate wonder of Forgiveness and the heart space of Loving of Someone Anyway.

Who in your life do you need to forgive?
Love Anyways?

How about your self? A good start. (Note to self)

Grief, guilt, lemons to lemonade

This is a very difficult post to share but I know I can do difficult.

During my 60 years of walking on this planet I have experienced many losses and reactions.

At 18, a beautiful Calico named Beebee got outside and digested poison. it wasn't until she was in my arms I discovered she was pregnamt. Heart breaking, I cradled her and cried and cried. I yelled at my boyfriend, We have to save her! He said There was nothing we could do. We buried her.

It was 8 years before I brought another cat into my heart and home.

In 2023, just before the Wild Fire Evacuation a pretty young female Ginger decided we had potential. We returned home and nearly every night she came by or stayed over and slept at our heads.

One middle of the night I awoke to mews. Turns out Pretty had 4 beautiful babies under my side of the bed. We named them...Harry, Daphne, Joy and Indie.

Curious kitten that Indie was she could often be found exploring the inner workings of the washer, dryer, dishwasher.

One afternoon I had a friend over for tea. Laundry on the go.
I went to shift the wash to the dry and discovered, much to my horror, Indie, laying atop the wash.

I tried to revive her.
i called the vet.

All the while, my amazing friend stood by comforting-It was a horrible accident.

I was a mess. This beautiful girl drowned, was trapped and couldn't get out.

I called John.

John came home from work and my friend left. John and I cried and cried as we gently wrapped her and took her to the vet for individual cremation.

A few weeks later Indie arrived home in a lovely urn. Her favorite sibling Harry went straight to the urn and laid down beside her.

I couldn't do laundry.
I couldn't go near the washer.

I was shocked by some peoples reaction to this tragedy.

I was traumatized.

I just kept seeing her image.
Over and over.
I could smell her.

Here's the thing...

Sh*tty, horrific things happen.

I can choose to stay stuck in the trauma response or look at ways to honor the memory of this beautiful soul we lost.

In Indie's honor and with the help of Tamara B. I have created a sticker based on the one attached.

I'll be including one in our Annual Christmas letter and they'll be available by donation -Minimum $2.

Proceeds will go towards local cats wellbeing.

Miss and love you Indie,

Leah

It's Not Right!

What I learned today was shocking, disturbing and that there are opportunities to educate, empower and encourage Elders to be safe and free of abuse. Links below will take you to resources and more information.

This handbook was created to provide older adults with important information to help them stay safe. It is a comprehensive guide that can help older adults identify an unsafe or abusive situation and understand their rights and options if someone in their life is hurting them.

The Hand of The Lord has Touched You & Mary holds me in her arms

These represent two experiences I had the past couple weeks.

In a RIM session I saw Mother Mary holding me in her arms. I felt such Love, comfort, peace. I recognized that that there are times I seek and need that comfort. That loving embrace. A warmth filled my Being while I was in Her loving arms. 'My Child'

Today I experienced The Hand of the Lord.
A customer remembered I was the cashier who had gifted her the purchase of a box of cookies she sorely wanted but couldn't buy as she had no money on her and her husband has left the store. She reached out and took my hands and said, You are a Believer and I felt warmth fill me and embrace me from the tips of my toes to the roots of my hair. I told her this and she replied, You are feeling the annointment. The Lord has laid his hand on you. Many blessings to you.

I am so grateful for these beautiful connections with God and the souls who carry His message.

I am loved.

I am grateful.

Positive Affirmations-Do they work?

Louise Hay, Wayne Dwyer and many more believe in the power of Positive Affirmations.

Dr. Emoto believes words can alter water crystals

Who hasn't completed an exercise in class of speaking nicely or badly to plants?

Or themselves. Sticky notes everywhere like on your bathroom mirror?

I believe in speaking, thinking and writing positively or writing to expunge the gunk from ones heart and mind and THEN creating with words that belief that YES, YOU CAN.YES, YOU ARE.

Direct. Concise.Powerful words.

Allow your heart to speak.

Listen.

I know
I am a beacon of strength and resilience.
I embrace my inner power and let it shine.
I rise above every obstacle with courage and grace.
I am strong, capable, and unstoppable.
I meet every challenge with determination and confidence.
I am grounded and unshakeable in my convictions.
I have the strength to turn my dreams into reality.
I draw strength from my experiences and grow stronger each day.
I am a warrior of my own life.
I harness my inner strength to overcome any adversity.

What are YOUR affirmations?

Post below-Be brave, be authentic, be YOU.
