Too Much

There is simply too much posted on Fb about the corrupt president.  Everyone knows he is the destroyer of anything with which he comes in contact.  People do not realize how this continual negativity affects their bodymind.  I know, I know,  we are all frustrated with government.

How about we turn that around and call all the reps/senators and vent to them? Tell them they need to start job hunting because the citizens will vote them out.  Explain what you want changed and write it down before you call.  Use your speech well.

I was recently listening to an NPR broadcast on our increased expectations. With everything. That we go on and on and on about a particular subject.  In particular, they were talking about the way parents handle their children.  That they set up 'play dates' with an expectation of certain behaviors/outcomes occuring.

"Well, she didn't socialize much."

"It was all so very disappointing."

Do consider that these children are two and three years old.  They are just learning to socialize.  This takes time.  We don't need daily report cards or an analysis of their minute by minute behavior.  We look at trends, adjust where need and just love and enjoy them.  These years pass quickly.

You know what they say about all work and no play.

Older Women

"When I told my friends I was writing a book on older women like us, they immediately protested, “I am not old.” What they meant was that they didn’t act or feel like the cultural stereotypes of women their age. Old meant bossy, useless, unhappy and in the way. Our country’s ideas about old women are so toxic that almost no one, no matter her age, will admit she is old."

Synchronicity

Nearly everyone is experiencing it.  Synchronicity.  Some believe it started this past week for them. Others say it is ongoing. Something is in the air.

                Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have the eyes to see.     — Carl Jung


We know that everything is connected.  Even Trump stealing the election had to happen. It had to happen to make people wake up.  Stand up and change things.

For myself, I've had lots of deja vu along with synchronicities.  What happens for me is that time stands still.  Total silence.  It is as if my bodymind can't move further until the thought is validated and remembered.

"Oh, yeah."

Sometimes they are separate events but lately they are intertwined.  But everything is anyway.

That Michael Cohen will be testifying before Congress soon is a part of all of this.  It is shades of Watergate.  I don't think this will be an isolated event.  I think Mueller is just beginning.

Everything experiences a correction when things are out of balance.  The little messages - the deja vu,  increase in synchronicities remind us to pay attention. It is reminiscent of seeing the deer outside my atrium door recently.  Deer are gentle beings.  They remind us to be determined and certain even in difficult situations.

A neighbor said she saw a three legged deer the other day.  Three legs.  Yet it is still strong, determined and enduring what could have been a rough situation.  It keeps going.  Just as we will keep going.

Synchronicity happens for a reason.  It moves us toward a healthier direction.  It opens our eyes.
