I am my mother's child

When I was a little girl....and then a teenager...and then an adult
I used to try and see what I have in common with my mom...
As little girls do


She was the most gorgeous woman
The most stubborn  woman
The strongest woman
The woman with the heart of gold, that was always ready to help someone in need


She was the dancing queen
The life of the party
The hostess most strive to be
The woman that gave her all so everyone else would be happy


And I never saw any similarities until....
My cousin shared this photo with me today
I've never seen it before....and with that 1 photo, that 1 naughty look and smile she has, I knew
I am my mother's child

The similarity and yet uniqueness of grief & loss

For someone that has gone thru my fair share of loss and grief, one thing that I believe to be true is that grief is grief and loss is loss. The loss of my cat is no less an emotion than that of your breakup. A loss of a brother is no less than that of a parent or a child. Loss is loss. Let's stop trying to put an amount on pain, it's not a competition! Understand that you can't understand the pain the other person is going through because; we all experience pain and deal with it, in our own way.

Peace comes from remembering that only love is real

Image
I've been doing my monthly Full moon readings again and I'm amazed by the repetition of this card, so I decided to share the message with a wider audience. The full message is: Peace comes from remembering that only love is real. Look past the surface of the situation and see the underlying truth: that everyone involved is a child of God filled with love. By focussing upon this truth, you elicit loving behaviour and solutions. Even though appearances may seem otherwise, trust that a higher wisdom is in charge. Love is the only power that exists and its light shines away any seeming darkness. Hold the intention to look for examples of this light within your mind, heart, thoughts and life. This knowledge is the foundation of peace I hope that it reaches those that need to hear it.. . Love and light xoxo
