Dear Friends,
A funny thing happened on my way to launching my internet radio show.
2007 was devoted to caring for and supervising the care for my 88-year-old mother as she learns how to now be in her life after a devastating fall on Christmas Eve of 2006. And in 2008, I’m increasingly involved with caring for and supervising the care for my 91-year-old aunt who’s just gone into a nursing home.
I’ve recorded radio shows with Steve and Barbara Rother and Isaac George during some relative down time last fall. Pun definitely intended. I hope you enjoy the shows. I think we captured some great conversation. I’m very much looking forward to sharing them with you and recording more shows, once I figure out how to edit and post them on this website.
Like many of you, my life has taken some unexpected turns during the past year. Like many of you, I’m doing my best to consistently experience peace and joy in the midst of turmoil. And like many of you, I’m spending a lot more time in meditation and in conscious connection with Spirit, asking for and then gratefully welcoming the love and nurturing of my friends and loved ones, and finding ways to live my own life in a way that’s most appropriate for me to now live.
I trust that I’ll soon be posting audio. But until that happens, I’m launching Glow With The Flow in a different way than originally planned.
On the above banner, you’ll see a subtitle that says “your guide to survive, thrive, and become more fully alive.” For those of us dealing with a variety of life changes, it can often seem damn near impossible to find true happiness in the midst of chaos. We dearly want to ride the wave of being in the flow, but how can we surf the wave when the surfboard suddenly flew away from us when the wave shifted and the salt stings our eyes so much we can’t see where the board went, much less retrieve it?
It’s about community. It’s about taking full responsibility for what we can do ourselves, and it’s also about asking for help us when we cannot help ourselves. Being beautifully vulnerable in asking for what we truly desire and being beautifully powerful in being loving supports for each other are two important ways to survive, thrive, and become more fully alive.
How can we be there in a meaningful way for each other?
I’ve been helped tremendously by finding a little time each day to reach out to someone I know who might welcome support while going through changing times. I just love doing this. I find the act of sharing love to be immensely healing. Most people appreciate being remembered, most people appreciate being touched with love, and most people appreciate being appreciated for having been there for us in the past. I can remember so many times when someone’s act of kindness was all it took for me to come back to being me. That person, in that moment, became my angel.
I invite you to become someone else’s angel.
Today’s idea, which came while chatting with a friend who’s grieving the loss of her soulmate dog, is to invite a number of my friends to share jokes when requested. So if I’m having a tough time handling my family responsibilities, I can email the list and ask if anyone’s got any good jokes to share. I have found laughing to be one of the very best ways to instantly raise vibration, and if I’m vibrating higher, I’m now in a better place to find solutions I might have previously missed.
I invite you to start your own joke circle, and I invite you to come up with your own ideas to lovingly support yourself and your community.
And I invite you to take down your walls - the walls of pride, the walls of ego, the walls of illusion, and the walls of separation - so that we can truly become one with each other in whatever way is perfect and right.
Love and Blessings,
Sheryl
