Radio Show 4/20/07

I just finished my weekly radio show, Spirits Evolving. What fun it is to be able to share, and I do mean share, with others in this manner. I love preparing for the show, and I learn something each week that I needed to know (or remember). Everyone is still energetically attached to the horrific shooting at Virginia Tech. Once again, I send my love and energy to all those affected. I reminded my listeners that we are all touched by deaths everyday and multiple deaths in this manner get through to our deepest energy more easily than we'd like. You can't ignore the waves of energy from such a shock. I certainly don't mean to minimize the pain of those touched personally by the deaths at Virginia Tech, but we are all affected by the deaths in Iraq and Darfur as well. We must remember to strive for peace on our planet. The planet is restless and needs time to heal from all the pain and suffering of wars (for generations). Let's try to stop the wars and the untimely deaths - yes, I do believe that sometimes death feels untimely - a child shouldn't die from hunger in today's world. But, of course, death is so natural, not end, but a beginning. We'll all face it, and we must all begin to look at the realities around us and try to bring the world back into balance with kindness and compassion.

Virginia Tech Shooting 4/17/07

Everyone here in Central Virginia and many all over the world are still reeling from yesterday's deadly shooting spree at Virginia Tech - 33 dead, dozens injured - you have to ask how and why it happened, knowing that it will never be fully understood. Obviously whatever insanity caused the deliberate murder of so many is very powerful energy. The energy wave from the shock and saddness in Blacksburg is echoing through the Universe. So many people are affected, not just the family and friends of the dead and injured, but everyone who picks up the energy that is so readily available. If you feel out of balance today, give some thought to how you can release the horror of this event - you are affected. I have been (to ease the tension in my own energy) simply sending energy to everyone even remotely affected. I make a strong effort to try to find the spiritual "reason" for life-altering events such as these, but I must admit, it's difficult. There will be much learned from this, of course, but the lessons seem to pale in comparison to the act itself and the painful after effects. I don't feel I need to say more. Just remember to monitor your own energy as the news is filled with details, at least in the near future. It's an event that will, of course, go down in history never to be forgotten. Let it be as positive as possible in your life - send healing energy to those in need, and make sure that you're coping with the shock as well.

Friday the 13th 4/13/07

Happy Friday the 13th! Remember nothing bad has to happen to you today. I'm preparing for my noon radio show and since I plan to discuss bad luck, ghosts, etc., I've been doing some research. Did you know that paraskevidekatriaphobia means fear of Friday the 13th? I didn't. Evidently the day holds more trepidation than I suspected. My first child, Chris, was born on Friday the 13th of March - that makes it a good luck day for him (although he may not accept that). I actually enjoy the day - you can feel the energy - it is different. That means that lots of people are noticing the date and reacting to it. I believe that you can bring lots of bad luck your way if you plan on it so I'm trying to send lots of support and good luck out into my day.

For those of you keeping up with my pancreas, I saw the transplant surgeon this week, and, fortunately, we decided to simply watch things for now (not that I would have chosen the surgery anyway but I'm gathering information). Strange how many lessons these physical bodies offer us. Since I was born with a malformed pancreas, I've been forced to learn lots about patience in the past several years. For now, I am thankfully pain free and doing lots of visualization to encourage my pancreas to continue working. Thanks for all your good wishes.

I better finish my radio show preparation - what fun it is to do the show. Have a great weekend.

Catching Up 4/10/07

How can days pass without getting to my blog? I have to say again how wonderful it was to hear from so many of you - some even concerned as to my health since I hadn't blogged for some days. Thank you for your concern - I guess I'm an every-few-days blogger for now so don't worry about me. My health is just fine for the moment - pancreas willing, it'll stay that way.

Notes to those who commented:

Chris: It's been so wonderful knowing you all these years. Enjoy the Cold North.
Sherri: You do so much - keep on doing what you're doing to help the needy ones.
Gretchen: Thank you for your kind words. The first time we met I said I wanted you to have my grandchildren - offer still stands if it was my choice...... you're a true kindred spirit.

My radio show went well on Friday - I enjoy that so much and this weekend was a double-header. I also appeared as a guest on Rick Moore's Wake Up Call on WNRN 91.9 on Sunday. What fun that was! We had caller after caller with wonderful questions. Rick, as always, started the show with his own sensitive words of wisdom. I need to say thank you to Rick for inviting me on the show regularly for all these years (since 1999?). When I figure out how to do it, I'll connect this blog to my website so you can go back and listen to any of the shows on 7th Wave Network or WNRN.

The remainder of Easter Sunday was quiet and peaceful. My daughter and granddaughter came down for dinner and before we ate we fed apples to the cows - quite a sight actually. The neighbor has six cows in his field (2 mamas and 4 younguns) and they have decided they just love apples (which I take to them every few days). They gallop full speed to the fence when they see us coming - cows shouldn't be able to move that fast - looks like an Old West stampede. It's fun getting to know them - never really knew cows personally before. As I get to know their different personalities and appreciate them as unique beings, I'm happy I'm a vegetarian and I won't meet them on my dinner table.

Here it is Tuesday and I'm supposed to be in Richmond shopping and eating with my best friend Florence (she's on Spring Break from teaching) but her car is in the shop and her mother's car (which was supposed to be in the shop) was stolen (and soon recovered). It's always one thing or another, right? So, I'm enjoying a day of blogging and running errands.

Again I want to thank everyone who either blogged back, called, or sent me an email - it's so wonderful to hear from everyone. Heading to the gym (don't really feel like it, but better go - ever feel like that?). Bye for now.

Cold Spring Friday, April 6, 2007

So good to hear from those of you who commented on my blog and sent me healing energy. Your good wishes are greatly appreciated. I'm still trying to decide what to do with this darn (no, loving) pancreas of mine. I have to remember that my body hears every word I say and I don't need to insult my pancreas any more - it's a bit oversensitive already. I hope that within a few weeks I can make some decisions. In the meantime, I'm doing what I know I need to do - heal from within. I'm finding that healing others is much, much easier than focusing that energy on myself - guess everyone feels that way.

I had a wonderful week with Ava - we played outside and baked a cake - today we'll dye some Easter eggs - haven't missed an Easter Egg dying party yet even with grown kids. At least this year, I'm not dragging them kicking and screaming to the dying-of-eggs spot. Ava and I will have great fun.

It's so cold here today - down in the 20's last night - I heard that Easter will be the same temperature as Christmas - weird and I'm ready for more spring. As I've said over and over, spring is breath-taking here in Virginia.

To my enjoyment (and my good health) I worked more this week. Sometimes it's hard to find that healthy space where I can enjoy my work and not overdo it, but I'm finding it regularly now. Today my enjoyment is centered around Ava whom I pick up after the radio show, and doing my radio show at noon. I just love the show. Sometimes I'm not sure exactly where the show will go, but once it starts, it feels perfect. I am also blessed to get such good feedback. Send me some topics of interest...

Better run - everyone have a great weekend.
