I’m sharing two more sketches my soul-sister, artist, and connected friend, Linda Lewis of Thailand (previously from Arkansas) has shared on her blog. Linda and I continue to uncover more ways in which, We Are All Connected. And sometimes it’s almost scary how many levels and ways we DO connect! I will continue to share sketches every so often of the ones that I enjoy drawing and coloring, as Linda is always encouraging me to find the JOY in each and every artistic endeavor I take on. Thank you sooo much, Linda!
See Linda’s painted sketches on her blog at: https://creativeartworksblog.com – as I read Linda’s articles about her daily life, her visits with her dear husband (who’s in a nursing home), and their son, who’s been so brave and steady in the face of the changes his parents have had during this last year or so–taking on the task of moving them from Arkansas to Thailand and all the minutiae of paperwork, organization, and care that has went into that! I honestly believe he’s provided a herculean effort that most wouldn’t even consider much less accomplish with so much love and compassion that I’m taking a big breath just to imagine!
I want to honor our connections on this lovely Mother’s Day. It could be any day though. Because after reading four exceptional articles from The Realist Juggernaut this morning, I am finding that honoring our connections (both current and past from our lineage and family ties), is what’s most important in life! Thank you, John, for these articulate and deeply profound posts that certainly, I will be reading again tonight and sitting with for a long time. I hope others will find them validating and valuable as well:

Health update
The naturopathic doctor used myofascial release and other soft tissue releases to continue working on my left foot, knee, and hips. I’m getting a bit more range of motion when attempting to lift my big toe, but we’re not there yet. I wonder, but hope, I’ll get full use of it again. I’m in no pain with it, so there’s that. It is numb on the inner half of big and second toe. But the sciatica is nearly gone in my back, thus I cannot complain. I have not resumed dancing yet, though I plan to soon!
Continued Forward Motion
I’ve been busy getting ready for Gina’s conference. I’ve done everything on the checklist for her, but I am continuing to refine and practice my keynote speech. I’ve also been building connections with the other guests she’s had on her podcast and previous conference, as well as the other guests on this upcoming June conference. Be sure to follow Gina’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GinaVirginiaCasella
We’ve been watching the three Lord of the Rings films and now, the three Hobbit movies. I must say, my husband and I stay entertained! And I’m nearly complete on reading Russell Brand’s new book and I’ll review it in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned!
Continued prayers for a Facebook acquaintance (her sister, sister’s husband, and niece were in a head on car crash). The crash killed the unobservant driver. Her sister is an organ donor and being transferred to another hospital to keep oxygen flowing to her body–it’s been a traumatic last few days as she’s asked her readers to pray for a miracle, but now, it seems as she’s found some peace in knowing her sister’s organs will aid 8 other people to live more fully. She’d been angry at the hospital at first for not following the family’s wishes–they did NOT want the brain test to see if she was brain inactive. And you know me, I do not give up hope for anyone until we’re in the ground. She’s now simply asking people to stay more present with family and friends. And aware while driving. I agree. None of us know when our end will come.
Also, continued loving vibes and prayers to our author friend and blogger pal, Michael and his family in the UK (https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com), as his half sister is recuperating from an incident in Idaho. We know physical distance makes things more difficult.
Integrating the Spirals – JIGGLE WIGGLE
In my YouTube channel, I encourage those “over 50” to:
- Open to lifelong learning (observe, gently question, and loosen up pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’)
- Become more aware of our thoughts and emotions to encourage more ease
- Loosen up and move our bodies (we’re stuck in our heads also due to our “Programming” and physically unhealthy)
- And become strong and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, and 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.)
