My Daddy was a Printer and he took so much pride in his work!

Many of you know that my dad passed away suddenly, 2 weeks ago. I am so grateful for the condolences, care, and sentiment I am being showered with! He was 89, and ready for his next journey. The room lit up with the sun, the second he made his transition. I want to share with you, how grateful I am for my father, “Will-I- am.” He taught me to be pragmatic, logical, resourceful, and self-sufficient. Best of all, he had been an example for playfulness. (Yes, I am still learning!) He also loved learning. For a very long time he had a great interest in exploring metaphysical wonders. We got to share in that connection for many years. I continued following that wonder when it seemed to go by the wayside for him. Although, I suspect he had been doing a lot of meditating in his late years. I am so glad that my brother enthusiastically follows the gifts of metaphysical mysteries. It’s reassuring to share that interest with my blood tribe.

I am embracing my dad’s wonderful traits and integrating them deeper at this magical transition

time. I sense the energy portal that is open, allowing me more awareness (and responsibility) for my choices. An exciting message that I did receive from my dad after he passed, is that he will watch over the printing process of my book. He was a Printer, by trade. When he was alive, he was closed to hearing about my past trauma by someone he knew well. So, I hadn’t told him about my book. He is understanding now that he has the bigger picture. I so appreciate his choice to assist. He always had a tremendously giving soul when he was clear about a purpose. How can he help give this healing book wings??! I am willing to receive with joy in all ways ; )

To all of you who are (even silently) holding space for me and my book, know that you make a

difference! The other night I was feeling almost overwhelmed with a sense of vulnerability. Perhaps it’s an uneasy feeling sensing that my mother could also leave soon or suffer more. Whatever it is, I am doing my best to surrender to trust life. I experience waves of a renewed sense of hope and strength. I appreciate all the energy and caring you share. I move ahead, staying alert and curious to the waves of grief, choosing the timing of my dance and the required stillness for my heart growth.

Heart Opening~

Thank you for the blessings to my heart and Being. Recently, I have been choosing to reverse the hunching of my upper back and shoulders-- something my dad did to an extreme. I invite the depths of my heart to rise up with the promise to blossom out of the heartbreak. Picture that cracked sidewalk or earth with the surprise of a flower rising from it. Showering gratitude and light to you, for your heart witnessing of my heart ReaCH...
