I know many of my subscribers are really sensitive, empathic, as well as educated people. I’d love to hear how you are doing, what you’re finding supportive as you navigate these times, what’s going on in your life that is important for you and what is exciting you, as well.
Hi. I’m Alicia. At the moment, I am doing quite well, however the energy has been a little touch and go. It just started thundering. I am grateful for cleansing rains! We also just got our hose filter hitched up! I love my garden so much - it’s more of a meadow on with an apple tree in miniature on one side and a sunny forest on the other, really. What is important for me right now, in addition to supporting my son and spending time enjoying life with my Love is being available to Spirit/Source, my garden and following my childlike curiosity and whimsy. I am finding red algae is supportive to me, along with dance and a brief gratitude meditation that I often do a few times a day to reattune myself to that field of grace. I am exciting about where we are going as an awakening humanity!
Thanks for checking in. I've been a little blue for the past couple of days. Just stuff: people in my life who are struggling, the state of the world, who knows what...
The rain is pounding down right now, and I'm happy about that. We need the rain.
Hugs!!!!! (if you'd like them, or if you'd prefer, heartspace of love)
It's hard to watch people struggle and to live with what we are seeing in the world!!! Also, the energy has been intense. Maybe you are feeling some of it? It can feel like a thousand things to me. Thank you for being here. You are special and you matter and your friends are lucky to have you!!!
Am well! Haven’t had as much time on Substack lately but thank you for checking in! I always love your poetry it makes me smile! Keep reaching for the light 🙏❤️
Hi Alicia and ALL. I feel it's really neat and very You that you reach out like this. I'm dealing with precarity issues, legacies of pain, trauma, wounds and all the Healing and Shadow Work that I am rising to the occasion to bring forth, proceed forth, open up to and face. Going into those No Go Zones or No Go Rooms to allow my Self to respond more honestly, rather than to compartmentalize or creatively reverse child/parent to cope as I did when I was a child. Much of this stuff for me is Foundational. Foundational trauma n wounding, Foundational Discovering and Healing too. Dealing with and sourcing lots of anger, and learning that the missing piece for me has been grief. Vulnerable, fragile n thorny stuff, fer sure. And I'll not go into how tyranny plays a key role in all this here. Hint: it does! I've been doing this stuff for a long time. The Wounded Healer -- Becoming Whole. As ever, this is all in addition to Profound Joy Sadness Melancholy Curiousity Permission Connectivity Capacity Energy Humour Imagination Honesty Aplomb -- The Child, My Child. My Adult too. And Spirit! Aware and Present. Currently Appearing: My Self -- and Love.
Hi Alicia. Felt you'd appreciate something here. The work brings some surprises! I've got some Animal cards, so maybe I'm gonna pull one tomorrow. Warmly, Elliot https://substack.com/@elliotlessing/note/c-55464707
I want to read your post, but I can't. I've tried multiple times to go on your page, but every time, I can't do it energetically. I can relate fine when you're in my space, but I can't go in yours. Nothing personal!
Oh yeah. No sweat. Yeah, will let you know what I pull. I've had those cards since the 80s. They're very special to me and they usually offer wonderful insght. OK be good!
ha! yeah! wide color spectrum that. posted a pic of the card in my notes. Reputation. Reading it now, thus far -- key word is respect. wide berth. playfulness and nonchalance of natural behavior with i-dare-u attitude. attract/repel. selfrespect. self esteem. be proud of accomplishments. belief in self is ultimate protection.

LOL!
We have joked here at home about turning all the farts (in the sense of stinky things/metaphor) into rainbow gas of light and love.
What is the skunk medicine?
