One Week Later
Although it has been one week since Erin passed, she was gone long before then. I could look at her and tell. I just didn’t want to admit it to myself because I wanted her to come home so badly. I feel better than I did a week ago, but I do not feel good. …

Hmmm
I was just typing a thank you to someone and was about to ask if they thought maybe in a few weeks, if they could come help me go through Erin’s room and begin to – I guess dispose of – her things. I no more got the word “things” in a short sentence typed …

Solstice Energies

And Wait
And wait, as in Trust and Wait. A friend said these words to me yesterday in an email she sent, and immediately I knew that learning to wait was my hurdle to jump along with trust. Funny how we get the pieces to the puzzle just as we need it! I sort of got it …

Graduation and Gateways
As par for my course, I have no idea what I am to write about today but I was just told via a large energy nudge to get here and write. I even made another pot of coffee to put me in the right mindset. So what that it’s nearly 3pm. ha ha! I had …
