Oh, but to open up those places where the grief hides...

and let them breathe fresh air...

May tears and laughter mix...

May we know peace in our hearts and souls.


Blessed Be and Ashay

I came to this thread needing something but not knowing what exactly and Spirit Dancer's candle and Turtle's words told me I was in the right place. That I was guided here to see those two posts as soon as I logged on to the thread. So I pass them on to the next person that comes her. May you feel the positive healing energy wash over you as I did. Thank you everyone here just for posting and the energy you send out so unselfishly.

Breathe In.........Breathe Out....
 
Come Into The Silence........

http://www.hawaiimagazine.com/images...g%20Hawaii.jpg

Cut the ties that do harm...cast them adrift - the people, the experiences, the thoughts, the feelings...

Breathe In..........Breathe Out......

Strengthen the connections that heal.......Feel the connections getting stronger....

Breathe In......... Breathe Out......

Smile as you remember the wonderful people and the experiences you have had with them.....bask in the smile.......Soak in the glow......

Breathe In........Breathe Out.....

Come Into The Silence And Let Your Spirit Heal.........

Breathe In........Breathe Out......

A Pause for Reflection
 
We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned,
so as to accept the life that is waiting for us.

The simplicity of a single flame, to touch and send energy
still amazes me how a single flame can be felt around the globe.
Energy, and renewal to those who need it.

This is for the woman in Lincoln, NE who was brutally attacked in her own home yesterday by 3 men, simply because she's a lesbian. Were it not for the failed attempt at setting her house on fire (they created only a flash fire from the gasoline vapors that did not continue to burn), this candle would be burning in her memory.

But even though she escaped death, the scars from the cuts and the homophobic slurs that were carved into her body will be a painful reminder of a crime based on hate .... and fear.

All of the recent violence against lesbians recently is frightening; so this candle is also for other sisters' lives lost and shattered.

Here is a link to an article about the incident.


This is a pic of what the men painted in the woman's basement, as taken by her friend:

This poem from an unknown author was sent to me, thought I would share it here.

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support,
To aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are..
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
This person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.

Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons,
Things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.

Your job is to accept the lesson,
Love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant

Thank you for being a part of my life,
Whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

Someone I care very deeply about entered into hospice care today. My Soul aches.


I wish her the relationship healing with family that she desires - Please let that go well. I wish her comfort and an easy passing - she has had a hard life.

Colorado State Senator Michael Johnston wrote this essay after the theater shootings. Take a moment to read it, take a lifetime to experience it:

Aurora Shootings: Love Back Written by Mike Johnston on July 20th, 2012 at 9:59 pm

Yesterday, four million Coloradans went to work and played football in their front yard; strangers opened doors for each other; people gave blood, offered shelter, served hot meals, held grandkids, played pick-up basketball and committed unnumbered acts of kindness and gentleness. One Coloradan dressed up like a villain and believed that by showing up at the site of America's mythical hero he could slay our actual heroes. It's true there was no Batman sitting in the theater to fly down and tackle James Holmes, as he hoped there might be. He had tactical assault gear covering his whole body, ready for America to fight back.

But love is more organized than that. Love has cellphones and ambulances, nurses and doctors, complete strangers and policemen and emergency responders always at the ready. Love has nurses who will jump out of bed in the middle of the night and get family members to watch their children so they can rush to the hospital and save the life of someone they've never met. Love has first responders who will walk into a booby-trapped building to save the lives of neighbors they will never meet. It must be lonely being James Holmes, spending the first part of your life planning alone for an act that will leave you sitting alone for the rest of your life. For the rest of us, life is crowded. Love is always only three numbers and one movie seat away.

We have lived our country's history as a chapter of wars, and many of those wars we have been blessed to win. We are a team that loves each other and will fight for each other, and if you punch us in the mouth, we will fight back. That is one of our obvious strengths, but it is not our greatest strength. America's awesome strength to fight is overwhelmed by its irrepressible strength to love. James Holmes took twelve lives last night. Love saved fifty-nine lives. Policemen on the scene in minutes, strangers carrying strangers, nurses and doctors activated all over the city. But we didn't stop there.

Love saved the 700 other people who walked out of the Aurora movie theater unhurt. But we didn't stop there. Love saved the 5,000 who went to see Batman all over Colorado, and the 1.2 million who saw it all over the country, who walked in and out safely with their friends, arm in arm. But we didn't stop there. Love claimed the four million other Coloradans who went to bed peacefully last night, ad who woke up this morning committed to loving each other a little deeper. The awe of last night is not that a man full of hate can take twelve people's lives; it is that a nation full of love can save 300 million lives every day.

I sat this morning wondering what I could do to help: give blood, support victims, raise money, stop violence. How could we start to fight back? My friends were texting me that they had plans to take their kids to Batman tonight but were now afraid to go. Others who were going to play pick-up basketball or go out to dinner were now afraid to leave home. They thought they would bunker down in their home and wonder, "How do we fight back?" The answer is we love back. We live back. We deepen our commitments to all the unnumbered acts of kindness that make America an unrendable fabric. We respond by showing that we will play harder, and longer. We will serve more meals, play more games, eat more food, listen to more jazz, go to more movies, give more hugs, and say more "thank yous" and "I love yous" than ever before.

So while James Holmes settles into the cell where he will spend the rest of his life, wondering what we will do to fight back, we will love back. We will go to a park this afternoon and play soccer, we will go to the playground and restaurants and movie theaters of our city all weekend and all year. He should know not only that he failed in his demented attempt to be the villain, but that Batman didn't have to leap off the screen to stop him, because we had a far more organized and powerful force than any superhero could ever have. Even the twelve lives that he took, this nation will love so strongly and so deeply that we will ensure they get a lifetime full of love out of a life he tried to cut short. And the fifty-nine lives we took back will be so overrun with love that they will live their lives feeling blessed every day, and everyone who ever meets them will pass on in an instant a love they never knew they earned but we will never let them forget. In a movie theatre in Aurora 50 years from now, one of last night's survivors will be waiting in the popcorn line and mention that he was in Theatre 9 on that terrible summer night in 2012. And inexplicably, with an arm full of popcorn, a total stranger will reach out and give that old man a huge hug and say, "I'm so glad you made it." Love back. We've already won.

Someone I care deeply for is having a difficult time in many areas of her life including experiencing severe pain. This candle is for her as well as my positive thoughts and energy.
You are a strong woman and I know you will find the answers and support you both need and deserve my friend. My thoughts are with you!

What if someone truly is alone and they really dont have anyone to love them? I came home to an empty house after 3 weeks of talking myself into the fact that reality really didnt happen to me, I am sad as I sit here crying my eyes out, truly there isnt anyone

This candle is for my little 6 month old grand-daughter ((((Aimee)))).
She in the hospital right now ... Has a fever that is spiking up to 103.
She can't keep food down and they have an IV in her tiny little hand.

Nana loves you sweet baby girl ...
I know it doesn't feel like it, but you'll be better soon.
