Blessings upon my niece, Tiffany, who is a magnificent teacher for her students and a Warrior for her children with special needs. She advocates for her sweet boy who is nonverbal. May the growth and fierce love I see in her sustain her as she leads the way forward for his care!

Blessings upon my sister Patricia and her family who wotk in Beirut, Lebanon, and live in a small village about 50 miles north of Beirut. May they safely leave for the USA on their flight from Beirut on Oct 10th. May the thousands of displaced people find shelter, food and safety.

May those suffering from the death of loved ones, and harmed by their own physical and mental suffering find a haven of safety and support.

And may I give myself intention and time to feel compassion for others as well as honor my own soul with self-care and love.

I think many people find the second year of a hard grief harder, because we think something is going to heal at the one-year mark, yet our loss still els so fresh. I wish you endless self love and self care to carry you through this year.

I lay a blessing stone for all the suffering in multiple places around the world - those we know all too well, and those lesser known places where famine, climate change and war have ruptured people's lives. and I lay a blessing stone for my demented sister, who when moved to memory care, lamented the stone I had given her with the word love on it which she remembered she had. And a blessing stone for those I have inadvertently hurt - I carry you all with me.

Blessing on the natural world of Pisgah, Nantahala and the Smokies. Blessings on the animals, the trees and rivers. Blessings for that natural world to heal in the beautiful way that nature knows how to heal and model for us a path of healing.
