Congratulations to Vonn as earlier this month she posted her 1,000th wisdom posting! Aren't we lucky to be among the recipients of her postings!
Here is another favorite:
2023 and beyond.
More about two worlds. Yesterday I came across the shorts of an impending news bulletin on the ABC as I was scrolling through looking for an art program and I couldnβt believe my eyes or ears. It was like stepping into an old world so foreign to me albeit a world I have lived in as a child, I had to make sure they were talking about current situations. War and fear were being thrust at those that still see this media channel as a truth. The reason it came across my awareness was to show me how far I had moved away from that possibility in my world, the world of peace, love and harmony that is in my daily experience because it is what I choose and what I consciously create with my thoughts, my words, my belief and my every action. I know that there is a split of realities and timelines, but I had not realized how wide that split had become. The gratitude that filled my every cell for where I am living and the level of compassion for those still trapped in the old matrix of fear and density being coerced into separation from their fellow men, women and children was overwhelming. And yet I know it was there to make me even more determined to stay on course, to create love and peace wherever I am and to touch as many hearts with kindness, inspiring and encouraging as many as come across my path that they are powerful beyond measure to create the world of peace every soul craves. This is not a time to rest on our laurels, but a time to dig in our heels and shine even more brightly, to love even more strongly, to embrace our fellow humans even more humbly. This is a time to rise above and beyond anything that is not founded on love, on peace, with the intent for the wellbeing of every human being on the planet. This is the birth of the New Earth in action, and we are all the midwives. Namaste <3 <3 Vonn

WISDOM FROM SHIRLEY ANN
Hugs and Hugging
One of the things I loved most about the first Avatar movie was that it demonstrated so clearly that everything and everyone is connected.
Just like the internet connects us all unseeingly, so too does the spirit, the divine essence of all that we are, connects us unseesingly!
Hugging is a wonderful way to reinforce that connection with another human or animal especially if you hold and maintain a hug for 20seconds or longer.
The heart expands, your body comes home to peace, and all there is, is those moments of calm, serenity and feeling much loved.
If you haven't experienced a 20second + hug, let me suggest that you ask a friend if they would be willing to share one with you. You can even set your timer! There are many physiological and psychological benefits that have been scientifically researched, however, for me, in my research in hugging 1000s of people, I found that the true benefit of a hug is the presence felt in the moment, that real connection of hearts.
Let me know if you experiment with 20second hugs. _______________________
Thank you for all that you do and BE blessings and hugs

ο»ΏWhen a door closes on the past
When a door closes on the past . . .
we leave behind a way of being
an old identity implodes . . . sometimes even violently
because the old one is moving out
and a new one is being born
Falling deeper and deeper into wonder and silence
Feeling the universe meeting itself - in you
A deeper current, the spark of infinity
Just like the ocean never stops coming in and going out
we work on a tide system of more activity and less.
Daily the waters of this Earth inform us of all of nature's business . . .
If we pay attention and listen.
And also if we listen with a vast open mind . . .
Because the waters of our earth and of our being do not recognize labels
like: wild and civilized, culture and universe, being and becoming.
They flow through every possibility and every type of existence.
And link it all together.
Right now we are present for the closing of the gates of time
In the fire of our own freedom
Opening the parachute
Claiming our new wings
To have childlike fun . . . ask yourself what do you love?
Do you remember your song?
To bring back spring, that is our challenge
Not the annual spring, but perpetual spring
Raise ourselves up from Hadestown
And rediscover how to be
What a crazy good life it could be
What a crazy good life it is
