Even in sickness, there is so much magic. Though I am waiting on a few more test results, I got amazing news today from my friend and doctor. And somewhere deep inside; I knew that my well-being was affected by negative energy. I'm just getting confirmation and my body is beginning to heal; it feels amazing. I'm in deep gratitude mode! I still don't have energy to go photograph anything, paint or play today but I will get there. For now, I will sit quietly on my porch, gaze at God's canvas in wonder and amazement. The colors are deep and rich and the connection is endless. I decided to look through some old ideas saved in my collection that I haven't shared; the catalog is thick. Anyway, I was talking with my soul sister last night and reminiscing a bit about our incredibly spiritual trip to Colorado pre-pandemic. The world was such a different place to live. I've also been thinking about the community I have around me. I don't have a lot of biological family but my 'friendmaly' and extended community is deep. I am lucky to have every single one of you! I am thankful for the amazing neighbors I have surrounding me and all the love that keeps me afloat. When you've found your spiritual tribe, those who think like you, those who love like you and those who know you on the level…on THAT level, it's a gift.
I always like to have a little lesson for Grace in each of my blogs and today's lesson is that if anyone ever takes their trauma and turns it into a weapon against you, walk away. Everyone has trauma, life is traumatic, but God wants to see smiling faces, smile my love, share your joy; it's contagious to those who will accept it. And those who see your joy as a threat are not worth it; pray and walk away. Stick with those who truly know you, know the truth and essence of who you are. You are a gem, babydoll. Spread love, not fear.
I tried to upload this little video I made as an unlisted YouTube video, but I think because the length is so short, it will not upload as anything other than a short. I am including it in this blog, only those who read my blog will have access. My passion for guitar playing came from my dad. He was the best guitar player I ever knew in real life. He would go into a music store, sit and play a guitar he was checking out and crowds would form. Eventually, I would join him, and I learned so much just by listening. Music is the medicine of the future and the future is now.
Get on board!
