Ithe country is definitely scary at times. I follow Patrica Cota-Robles’s weekly blog called Era of Peace. For the last two year she has talk about a shift in the spiritual world around us. She is very positive and reassured us what we are seeing is the negativity in the world bubbling up to the surface of the planet so that it can be cleared. She encourages Light Workers (all of us) to make the spiritual shift with love and light. Her weekly blog is free if you would like to checkout her messages. We can’t loss hope.
I'm not sure what to comment on first but rest assured, it won't be politics.
Most importantly, CONGRATS on becoming a gramma for the first time! It's soooo much different than being a parent and you will be an amazing one. Love her with all your heart 💗
I didn't know you and Paulette were real-life friends. How wonderful!
And lastly, your post and headings look gorgeous!! Now I understand how you're using them and I love it! Such a creative idea Thanks for sharing your heartfelt messages this week Sue!
Haha, I'm not disappointed at all that you avoid politics. Thank you! Yes, everyone has told me that being a grandparent is like nothing else. I already love her with all my heart and she's not even here yet! Paulette and I became friends on Substack, and just recently met in person for the first time. She felt like an old friend. And I love the headings as well. THANK YOU for creating them for me! Have a peaceful weekend. I know you work hard during the week. 💕
Thank you, Ilona, for such a sweet "first" response to my post. You know how it is when you try something new and wait to see if anyone likes it? Those first responses are golden. Have a blessed day and take a break this weekend. 💕
So much of what you write rings true for me too, Sue. I love what you posted from Michael Moore. It gives me hope. I’ve also been watching “All Creatures Great and Small” and it brings me such piece. I’ve been knitting and quilting up a storm, which gets me out of my head and into my hands - always healing. And lastly, you will love being a grandmother! It often times is my grandchildren who give me hope for the future, much as I worry about it. Also, I’m so grateful for FaceTime and Zoom that allows me to enjoy “being” in the presence of the grands that don’t live as close. Enjoy every minute!
Thank you so much, Marti, for your comments! I’ve been thinking I’d like to learn how to knit. I may take a class. As if there aren’t enough things to worry about or feel sad about, now JoAnns goes out of business. I’m so sorry to hear that. Up where I live, there’s aren’t many choices of fabric shops. I guess that’s the least of our problems. Anyway, thanks always for your support!
I love this post and your community. Congratulations on being a grandmother. Enjoy every moment! We spent yesterday watching two of our grandsons play flag football in the rain and cold. At times the rain turned into graupel. We were soaking wet! Still, this is one example of the times I will always cherish.
I enjoy your openness. You often express how I feel. The quotes at the end are perfect for these times.
I am not one to watch movies or read fiction. I focus on spiritual readings, yoga, energy healing, and history. You are inspiring me to look into your suggestions.
Within the last year, I read Peace Pilgrim, Her Life in Her Own Words. She walked more than 25,000 miles across the country spreading her message - "This is the way of peace: Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love," She is an inspiration of how one person with inner peace can make a significant contribution to world peace.
Thank you, Trula, for sharing your thoughts. I love the image of you soaking wet watching your grandsons play flag football. I will check out Peace Pilgrim. It sounds wonderful. Thank you, Trula, for being here. 💕
Congratulations! On so many lovely, beautiful whys! Baby girl, first, of course. And all that will unfold as you continue the conversations in chat. I'm in!
I'm never sure what "everything has a purpose" means. But as a student of history, I see patterns, which may be in part what "purpose" means. One of these is that when we grow to be too many, we seem to go crazy. Germany, Russia in the last century, went crazy and killed many millions of Europeans. Not in the wars, themselves, but in decisions made by very bad leaders. After WWII, Stalin's reign killed millions of Russians. I'm not sure anyone knows how many. And most of us oldsters know the tally in Germany. A relatively small country, with 6 - 10 million citizens murdered. I now find myself for the first time ever, thinking with sympathy of the German people, not the ones participating, but the ones we've been taught to be contemptuous of who "did nothing." I think we are going to find ourselves in their shoes. Maybe we do already, if we know immigrants who are being put in what are surely concentration camps. What are we going to do? What can we do? Are we strong enough to build an underground movement to save simple lives?
I was just thinking about this very topic yesterday, I agree with you, Sallie. The only positive thing I can say is that we have the ability for now to stay connected and I do believe we are in the majority in our beliefs at this point. I love what I'm seeing on Substack, people uniting and fighting back, groups forming, and growing by the day. We need to keep the momentum going, do what each of us can do, no matter how small it may seem.
Yes. It seems that the internet, which is so volatile, may indeed be a force for good! The established media is getting great pressure. I'm sure Substack will eventually as well.

I love that, Lynn. I have heard that from sources as well. Yes, please share the link. And yes, above all, we can't lose hope. 💕

So much good nourishment, Sue! You are very generous to us 💙

Wow! your make over is delightful! Love the Roundup!
Oh, thank you, Joyce! I take that as a high compliment coming from you! Thanks for the feedback. 🥰
I love it, your Friday notes, perfect!!!
Thank you, Luisa!

I was gifted this book by a sweet, young friend. It is the most perfect book, filled with wisdom and love. 💕
Yes, I love the book as well. I think you would enjoy this new one as well. 💕

If we're in the majority, Sue, we need now to reach out strongly to the 85 million Americans who can vote but who didn't. It's a shocking number.
I couldn't agree more, Sallie.
