Thanks for your post about my Mother.

@taci,

Come play Trivia you don’t have to post but each question is worth 200 tickets.
It is over in a couple of hours. 😎😘

I am so happy your mom is home and the Covid-19 is mild. 😘

Happy Birthday to Mr. Shoelady!

@Sheba, Hello hope you are all having fun with trivia. I remem ber you saying a surprise was at your door at 6:30am but didn’t realize it was the Heidi Necklace. How very generous of her to to that and so happy for you! You’ve been through so much, it’s nice to get a surprise.
Mom is moved back to her place, and we have a lot of care for her, so she will be kept comfortable. The covid as far as I know is mild.

Have a great evening!

@shoelady60, Happy Birthday to your husband.

@shoelady60,

Good Evening and Happy Birthday to your husband. I am having a problem with
my system I will be back off and on during the evening to help you celebrate.

I hope your husband have a wonderful meal and day. Enjoy. 🌹😎

Very glad you will see your mom and sister soon. 😘

Taci – So sorry your mom had a positive test. I am praying she has super mild symptoms and it will be gone quickly. Sending love and prayers to you and her.💗🙏

Today is hubby’s birthday so I have his favorite meatloaf and potatoes in the oven, chocolate cake for dessert.🎂 He is doing so well and that is a gift for me. He was at the cardiologist today and she was very pleased with all his numbers. I want to cry every time I see a report about covid on TV because I know how sick he was. Just thankful I kept him (along with his doctor) out of the hospital.

Plan on seeing mom and sis tomorrow. It has been over three weeks so I’m anxious to sit and have some tea and talk. Don’t realize what you miss until you don’t have it.💗

Enlightenment At Home

Spiritual growth can take place anywhere, if you are open and ready to learn and receive.

Many spiritual seekers feel called to far-flung places across the globe in the interest of pursuing the path of their enlightenment. This may indeed be the right course of action for certain people, but it is by no means necessary to attaining an enlightened consciousness. Enlightenment can take root anywhere on earth, as long as the seeker is an open and ready vessel for higher consciousness. All we need is a powerful intention, and a willingness to do the work necessary to moving forward on our path.

In terms of spiritual practice, at this moment, there are more tools available to more people than at any other time in history. We have access to so much wisdom through the vehicles of books, magazines, the Internet, television, and film. In addition, the time-honored practice of meditation is free, and sitting quietly everyday, listening to the universe, is a great way to start the journey within. There is further inspiration in the fact that the greatest teachers we have are our own life experiences, and they come to us every day with new lessons and new opportunities to learn. If we look at the people around us, we may realize that we have a spiritual community already intact, and if we don’t, we can find one, if not in our own neighborhood, then on-line.

Meanwhile, if we feel called to travel in search of teachers and experiences, then by all means, we should. But if we can’t go to India, or Burma, or Indonesia, or if we don’t have the desire, this is not an obstacle in terms of our spiritual development. In fact, we may simply be aware that our time and energy is best spent in our own homes, with our meditation practice and all the complications and joys of our own lives. We can confidently stay in one place, knowing that everything that we need to attain enlightenment is always available right where we are.
