It was so good to get out onto the coast path this week and walk, smell the air, feel the breeze and the sun. Walking and being in nature is one of the best things for our well being. Even just 5 minutes can help connect us to who we really are.

JOURNEY OF THE SOUL

One of the qualities that you can develop, particularly in your older years, is a sense of great compassion for yourself. When you visit the wounds within the temple of memory, you should not blame yourself for making bad mistakes that you greatly regret. Sometimes you have grown unexpectedly through these mistakes. Frequently, in a journey of the soul, the most precious moments are the mistakes. They have brought you to a place that you would otherwise have always avoided. You should bring a compassionate mindfulness to your mistakes and wounds. Endeavor to inhabit the rhythm you were in at that time. If you visit this configuration of your soul with forgiveness in your heart, it will fall into place itself. When you forgive yourself, the inner wounds begin to heal. You come in out of the exile of hurt into the joy of inner belonging.

We had 43 silent 999 calls in November where we were needed at the scene immediately – that’s more than one every single day 😞 📱

Most of these calls were from people suffering domestic abuse, who couldn't say much but urgently needed our help to escape a desperate situation or confide in officers what had happened to them 🏠 🚓

Did you know? Dialling 55 after calling 999 alerts police operators that you need help but are in a situation where you can't talk.

Pressing 55 lets the 999 operator know your call is genuine, and they will try to track your location. If you can't speak, listen carefully to the questions and instructions from our demand hub call agents so they can assess your call and arrange help.

Dear Brave Souls... It is not ours to perfect the world, but to mend what is within our reach.

I ask you to keep your heart of Love and Light shining,

as I wrote long ago, all souls are needed on deck, shining the gold of soul like lanterns in the darkest dark...

so that you can see what is and what is ahead, so that others can see too what is right now and what may lie ahead... all to assist toward good and right and preservation of Beauty and Life.

I CALL STRONG ON HOLY MOTHER TO HELP YOU

As you are called...

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

Do not be doused by anything of the overculture that is not Light, that is not Love.

Do not be tricked by Dark and Hatred and Greed dressed up in some parody of Light and Love.

Do not ally with those who share your favored prejudice.

Ally with those who share, unequivocally, your most cherished Hopes and Miracles.

Help with effective, measurable action what and who is helpless-- Those who stand within your reach, and in those far away but in reach by your clear petition and unwavering prayer for them.

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

Encourage who has lost, temporarily, via terrible assault, injury and death of innocents, the hand of La Doña Esperanza: Lady Hope.

Let know by whatever means open to you, the unknowing know of your loving presence by blessing them aloud and in peace-petitions.

Let those who struggle know you know they are alive.

I gently wrap each of you in my rebozo rojo, my red shawl of Life, with all my love, all my light, even as we are on a cross-currents on a swelling sea.

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

watch over your heart so you do not try to give to the point of illness and depletion

nor under-give so you feel weakened and frail

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you,

that your mind be creative and forward looking, filled with workable ideas about all things that matter

that you remember the mighty chest-pounding, deeply inferior complexed ogre is brought down by cutting down the beanstalk at its root, depriving it of air, water and shelter.

Do not let your heart be bitter shelter --for ogres who thrive on your bitterness will exploit you.

Do not allow your mind to offer shelter to the living dead who appear in rags while wearing underneath suits of stolen gold.

Do not allow your child spirit to be without your minute by minute protection from candy-toting and 'lost puppy' predators who are sharpening their axes for innocent' necks.

Do not allow your righteousness to be defined as weak, wrong, stupid nor foolish, by evil cunning from others who wish to colonize you to death forever

Fight! Do nor surrender your vast spiritual lands to even one other who under guise of their own malignant and misguided gods, say, their god says it is their prerogative to take all they see for themselves alone, while impoverishing all others.

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

that your mind wake from any overlong hibernation and come forward with all your new babies, to teach, to show, to tend to, to grow. To resist, to bridge and to build as you see fit.

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

guard St. Body, your antennae, your receiving and transmission towers to the world, your holy temple --with you as temple-keeper... that living breathing place of such miracles, that needs your care and cleansing daily, so as to remain a sanctified space to convene with Greater with clarity... for your next step, next step with alacrity and shine

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

guard your Soul and your Child Spirit, from destructive duendes, vile thoughts, endless roil-rants that go nowhere except to deplete the radiant gifts you came with as Birthright.

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

that you not be stolen away from True Self,

that you ever EVER remember who you are and why you came here...

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

not lose your shape with rage or vengeance, but rather fill your wings and mind to their fullest with steps and plans to raise up so much good, as well as to defeat so much bad... alone and/or with cohorts

To unleash, living bigger in the road you live on, the village you live in, the schools you cherish, the helpers and healers you uphold, the ways of the ancient and modern worlds you know are funded first and foremost by irrevocable love for as many and as much as you can.

Do not forget mis comadres y compadres, mis hijos y hijas, mis nietos y nietas:::

the rails of the ship are to hang onto,

the mast to lash ourselves to,

the fabric of the limber lifeboats and their able oars to keep us from drowning in too much of any thing,

the floating fibers of the sturdy life preservers, to keep our heads above the waterline in the mist of turmoil

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

light your brilliant flares in the night to signal other vessels of our whereabouts and our supports for them and theirs for us.

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

take up the huge hand-woven ropes to hold us above the water line, to keep us close to all the best we are made of...

These exist in even stronger means because We are. Together.

With Source without source, we are Together.

With Creator-- with whom we have made our agreements for our ways of being on earth now-- we are Together...

in order to flower, and guide and help and heal self and others...

all signed, sealed and delivered before we ever were ensouled... now to be lived out.

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

Do not forget. You are a magnitude in your own right, in your tending and mending of so, so many things,

in your alertness and kindness, you are a one of a kind, utterly unique creative force.

Do not forget these truths, for there is your uncanny Strength forever,

Do not forget these truths, for therein is your LIFE-GIVING aerial-view perspective of BOTH worlds,

Do not forget these truths, for there are your gentle and tender ways, not based on sight, but on vision,

Do not forget these truths
For there is your fierce love for so very very much that is in need of your special touch.

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

I call STRONG on Holy Mother to help you

to not Forget... but to FORGE. Only one letter different ...
drop the T. Let it be a holy act... Forge. Ahead.

¡Andele y arriba!~

All my love mis almas valientes, all, all, all... I.M.I.
I. Mean. It. Utterly.
dr.e.
