Integrating the Spirals: Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Because I’ve been continually working on my 5th book, We Are All Connected, I’ll share a beautiful Thanksgiving mass email I received today from the folks over at, TCCHE.

Join me in receiving emails and updates from TCCHE at: https://tcche.org

That email sums up how I’m feeling about all of you. And how I’m feeling so blessed to be with family today (it was so easy to simply bake and cook and then run everything next door)! Plus, we got to spend time with our son-in-law’s mother and her husband, and our three lovely, loud, and vibrant granddaughters. Whew! Big day. Lots of food. Lots of love. I said grace at the table and shared an Energy blessing. In one word, the grace I said was, One LOVE. And I draw a big heart in the air over our table. Later, Richard, said he thought we should all share one thing we’re grateful for. And each of us did! We even shared more than one thing!

Not to make anyone hungry, here’s some of the food. And yes, we had turkey (see, Linda? Ha! I remembered to enjoy a bite for you!) I made a pumpkin pie, man candy bacon, and pineapple upside down cake.

Cheese ball with crackers. It’s never a holiday in our house without a cheese ball. And yes, there’s a story about these. Haha! Wouldn’t you know it (it has to do with my first marriage)?

Man candy bacon. It went over so well last year, everyone wanted me to make 2 pounds of it this year! It takes a bit of time to make it, but it’s so worth it. FYI: We didn’t eat pork for about the first 15 years of our marriage, so this is huge deal for us. And only once a year.

Our son-in-law makes this amazing Canadian meat stuffing that’s half pork and half beef and includes special spices (it takes him hours to make it). Even their picky eater girls love it (that tells you something)! So, I loaded up on that (top of my plate). Plus, turkey, regular stuffing, gravy, a cheese roll, a little mac-n-cheese (that he also makes homemade) and pumpkin dip that my daughter made from a new recipe. We usually always do have something old. But yes, Mike’s meat stuffing is the real deal. Richard said it reminded him of haggis (that we had in Scotland in 2019). I think for the consistency and spice that we don’t normally have.

The pineapple upside down cake (I would say this is a nod to the upside down in Stranger Things, but it’s in memory of my mom). And we had chocolate silk cream pie in memory of my dad. Plus, I baked a traditional pumpkin pie. We waited an hour after we ate our lunch to have these desserts and no, I could’t eat them all.

My daughter and I thought of my dearly departed mother as we ate the pineapple upside down cake (as mom used to make that a lot), and we had chocolate cream pie, which was always my dad’s favorite. We bought fudge from a local German bakery because mom used to always make fudge and also because our longtime family friend, Liz, is from Germany. We tried to remember all the special people in our lives today.

Hours later, I can’t even look at the fudge. Ha! I haven’t been able to put another bite of food in my mouth. Mind you, I’ve only been eating one meal a day for a few months, and this was more food than I would normally ever eat. I’ve been doing so good in regard to diet and exercise that I don’t want to set myself back much simply to celebrate a holiday. Of course we still have Christmas and my birthday to get through, but after that, I’m planning on a three-day water fast. I understand all too well what eating too much can do to a body.

Much love and hugs to ALL of you! I hope everyone enjoyed their time with family, or if not, at least got to give them a call, or send special thoughts to them. You wouldn’t believe how important it all is (the more I research and put into place in this 5th book). Ah!

We finished watching a series called, Justified: City Primeval starring Timothy Olyphant and his real life daughter. It was only one season, but if they do a season 2, we’d be interesting as it would include Walter Goggins as the villain. And we like him.

Integrating the Spirals

I’m encouraging those “over 60” to open to lifelong learning (observe and gently question their pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’), become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, consistently move their bodies (too many are stuck in their heads and physically unhealthy), become strong, and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, body. And to question EVERYTHING!

Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. All while doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling thought ride to better health, through doing more with ease, to help us sustain the JOY in our lives! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

Integrating the Spirals: Couple hot topics

I have been learning a LOT while working to complete my 5th book. I’ve come to find out that the Observer Effect is REAL. And at this moment, I’m literally experiencing it, after reading about a dear family friend (Gary) who’s had a stroke and brain bleed. And he’s currently in the hospital with his family gathered around him. As I wrote out my prayer for him and his family (in a Facebook message), and then said it (while sitting here resting for a moment between my daily tasks), I began feeling a sensation in my chest I have never had before! I don’t know what it is/was (it’s now dissipating thankfully), but for a couple moments, I laid my hand on my chest and thought, “If this is it, and it’s my TIME to go, I’m good to go it alone.”

My hubby is upstairs.

I know when the end comes, or the transition to the Grand Beyond, we go alone anyway. Then again, it only seems that way.

In speaking on the phone with my last living uncle, Jim, (who is a pastor) about my book, he summed it up in five minutes. He told me he felt God gave me that experience of being awakened in the middle of the night by a deep male voice (of someone not there physically) say the words, We Are All Connected, twice.

My uncle said he felt it occurred so that it would set me on this journey. And that it would be a blessing. That someone would need to hear or read about my experience. He also told me, “We’re never alone.” And I’ve written on both subjects (We Are All Connected and We’re never alone) many times. And now, in my 5th book, I’m writing a lot about frequency, planes of existence, and consciousness, that drives these points home.

At any rate, yes, I do desire to bless others. But I’m human too, and as my friend and fellow author, Michael (of https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com) can tell you, I procrastinate big time. While encouraging him, being his weekly “check in” to keep writing his book, He Was Weird Too, he’s heard me come up with all kinds of excuses NOT to finish my book. And then, fellow blogger and author Lauren Scott sent me a reply that I’ve saved and read (almost) daily, for a couple of months, that fired me up about finishing this book. I’ll share it with you, in case you are also procrastinating about something:

Now, here’s what I really came here now to say. I’ve disagreed with some of you on political topics. And I have even unsubscribed from some of you. If you’re still following me and I’m not following you, that’s why. I left without telling you, but here it is. And I’m sorry. Watching what has just happened with Marjorie Taylor Greene helped me see my error. We each have a right to our opinions, beliefs, and view on life. Most of us want the best outcome and simply disagree on the HOW.

So, here I sit, bemused that I’ve not blogged in weeks because I’ve been so heads down on this book. And here I sit realizing my end could come at any moment and I’ve been ignoring many of your posts (of those I do still subscribe to) because I’ve been living in my own little book writing world. Sometimes, that’s what we have to do to get things done. I get it. It is what it is.

We finished watching a series called, Only Murders in the Building last night. It was five seasons and was put out by Hulu. We got to see it because my daughter and son-in-law added us to their Disney account. My husband thought it would be great to check the show out because it stars Steve Martin and Martin Short. He said it would be funny. And it has been. I recommend it. And while the topic certainly seems dark, ‘murders,’ it’s more of a detective ‘whodunnit’ thing than a bloody gore thing.

I hope to share more enlightening information with you soon.
