NEW INSIGHTS







 Greetings Friends! It has been awhile since I have written, December 20,2022 to be exact. A plethora ( great deal ) of experiences have come my way since December, one of which was getting Covid and being quite sick and certainly lethargic. I also still can't taste my food fully!

I have 'written' many blogs in my mind but that's as far as they went. It has been a very uncomfortable time for me, both physically and mentally and so I realized that I 'just needed to write something! I receive a writing called The Marginalian two times a week on my phone that offers amazing articles about artists, primarily and writers, usually ones who wrote many decades ago and who are all brilliant, and inspiring. Something moved me to write today, even a small note to express myself and to communicate with you all that I still care and want to connect again. 

 Since I have not felt myself for some time I'm AWARE more than ever of other people's situations and suffering. I know two people who are having a lot of pain and the main feeling I have about them is 'helplessness'. It's awful to feel like this no matter what is going on that I can't do anything about, really, except pray and be KIND to myself and to others. Actually I believe there is more I can do, I just don't know how to identify it. It is to do something, at least one thing every day we don't really want to do! I believe Eleanor Roosevelt said that. I know for certain I benefit from doing that and, right now, it's the best I can do!

I feel a 'quickening' in my soul that this can and will benefit us all if we apply it. I always feel in my heart that there is a solution or at least a 'loosening up' of a strangle hold of something that is over us. Each of us in our own way, is dealing with a situation, either personally or universally that has a grip on us that is very uncomfortable and affecting our day to day lives in a myriad of ways. 

 If you choose to 'go along this journey' with me and even share your experiences, it could be the beginning of something REALLY big for all of us. I feel it!!! In the mean time and until next time, simply PAY ATTENTION to yourself, your feelings, desires and behavior and NOTICE! That's all you have to do, really. 

Oh yes, and KEEP THE FAITH!

 WHEN A SPARK IGNITES OUT OF THE BLUE 
STOP A MOMENT AND LISTEN, LOOK AROUND AND INSIDE . . .
 SOMETHING IS HATCHING!

PLEASURES BLEEDING HEART When I look around the VILLAGE, I find more and more scenes, activities, support and people that give me PLEASURE. It’s so easy for me to experience new aspects of my life at the Village. So much is available here and I’m open to more adventures everyday. There are several activities I want to try. One PLEASURE I have done is watercolor painting and I intend to do more of that. The activities I enjoy every week are exercise classes, swimming, gardening, meeting new people, writing my blog, teaching classes, my garden and generally enjoying each day to see what comes up. Every night when I get into bed at night I give thanks for a most rewarding and surprising day!  Remember, you can rotate activities, or stagger them and you can rest whenever you want to! I love this new attitude I have adopted because I no longer fret and plan each day to the fullest. I derive much more satisfaction from being free and spontaneous a great deal of the time.

Easter Lily RISING We all know the feeling of RISING; An uplift, an awakening, an experience of   a breakthrough and the opening of the heart. Even thinking about the sun RISING can be an uplift. It is also the Phoenix RISING out of the ashes. That is such a powerful image for me. I have just experienced a RISING, a huge avalanche of experiences that have been profound. My daughter and her fiancé visited me that was wonderful. It was a sort of mission that we were all on that was truly amazing.   I also sold my car to a very lovely woman that appreciates it and it was so effortless! As I was about to leave an appointment Friday, the power went out from the storm. I could not access the Village to come get me, nor Uber. I met a woman who was so wonderfully friendly and kind and offered me a ride back to the Village. I was stunned. We talked like we had known each other for years. We had lunch and have become friends. Again effortless. Somewhere in the mix, I had

DELIGHT This is one of my favorite words! The sight of it, the sound of it and the meaning of DELIGHT . . . DELIGHTS ME. I begin my day by opening my blinds and looking out to the trees and the lake, every morning! Then I see the ducks waddling about and the magnificent egret(s) prancing around. Lately I’ve watched the Whistling ducks, I saw a mama, daddy and 3, yes 3 tiny babies running then swimming together! Such a DELIGHT! More and more I am enamored with NATURE. I can always fine something that makes me NOTICE something that is present that perhaps I never NOTICED before. Sometimes it is as simple as a limb on an old oak tree, or the markings on the Muscovy ducks. A DELIGHT is more than just in Nature. I have recently had a few conversations with people that were completely DELIGHTFUL! It makes me feel so uplifted and grateful to know them and share in some special conversations. It stays with me for a long time. The key for me is to listen to them
