As a nurse and former Army officer, I was more prepared than you. I didn't evacuate. I have a well, so after 5 days of no electricity, I again had water. Good water. And yet I was impacted strongly by the devastation and knowing people who had missing or confirmed lost family members. People whose homes washed down the river or flooded beyond repair. The devastation is everywhere I go. I have been able to find balance again, but it took me weeks. You helped me a lot.
As for the election, I am not political. I vote but I do not campaign or write political things on my FB page. I delete them if someone does in a comment. I am neutral ground and share your purpose of doing my best to lift the energy of the planet. I started doing my 3 daily gratitudes again. Sometimes I post a picture. Sometimes not. But I have much to feel grateful for in my life, despite the many losses.
Thank you so much for all that you. I am grateful for you.
We need each other as a larger community as well as in our smaller circles more than ever. I appreciate your support and good vibes, Pam ♥️ None of us can do this alone.
Love this. As a fellow writer, I too, am trying to capture the right words to inspire us in how to deal with the challenges of change we are looking at. A great read. I will follow your steps for meditation!
Thank you Shelley for your beautiful post which perfectly captures so many of our feelings during this time - it helps to have others who are establishing community in the wake of such horrific natural disasters and the aftermath of the devastating election. I am grateful for your suggestions for remaining calm amidst the turbulence we are experiencing… I know that I am here to also lift others and raise the vibration so that the light can return..
Thank you, Barbara, for joining this community with your light. I agree it's time to come together and find joy in not only each other but also in rejoicing in each other's gifts to share.
Great to meet you online with Claire and perfectly imperfect podcasting members last week. So sorry to hear about the enormity of loss and devastation in your life and all around you.
I resonate with all you say about creating emotional safety and finding ways to drown out the noise. I’ve had to learn it to overcome chronic ill health to the extent I have. It’s led to me too, being here to hold space for healing on a global scale💜
Thank you, Amber. I truly enjoyed meeting everyone. One of the things I like most about Substack and the online community is the opportunity to connect across continents. In truth we have so much more in common than what separates us. And we do face the same challenges and share the same joys. Thanks for participating here. Much appreciated!
