Pandoras Box.
I called it.
I said all those years ago when the internet was new
and folks were talking me into signing onto social media
platforms that it would burn itself out, that no good would come of it
because in the end people are people and we just can not have nice things.
But was it a nice thing after all?
I suppose it could have been had folks had some sort of
personal accountability .
Yet even the ones that do...they have started drinking the
Pandora poison and there they are....right up there with the
rest of them.
During this period of time we had catastrophic unimagined
difficulties thrusted upon us. 'I will not go into any of that for which it
is way too complex and frankly frustrating to address.
BUT some doubled down on the awfulness instead of
pulling back and fighting for one another.
Here we are....
we SHOULD be in the Hope phase of this
weird experiment, but No.....
Doubling down on:
this or that, black or white,
my way or the highway
is still breathing it's last gasps.
It is like we did not learn the lessons so far....
Because of them the rest of us has to endure this
fiasco even longer.... how much longer?
Back to the internet being Pandoras Box:
It truly is.
And No... I do not believe people are ready to close the lid just yet.
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Moving on....
If you can not see Hope in the world, then you must at least try
and give it to yourself where you can.
Over the past winter I have been working on me.
Because that is all we have control over, ourselves.
I decided to not over worry about things that I have
done all I could about and let it go to God.
It is because of this that I can have a life appreciating what
I have with better health and much more joy.
You have far less control of other people than you are being told.
Had no one ever told you that bit of reality yet, here it is.
And because of that, I turned inward to truly heal my
mind and body, bringing it all together so that my soul could find peace.
Have you ever thought that the health of your body was tied to the health of
your mind & spirit?
Once I found that important piece of the puzzle
out it was a journey that I wanted to take.
...and that I am still on.
Being tied to many people because of what I only could do to for them
in life made me feel purpose filled, yet not many of those relationships
were healthy and as I grew and moved towards a healthier place they
fell away.
I learned that I should not feel badly.
Growth is painful at times.
As life moves along, I am confident in those growth moments.
For the addition of new and positive energies
in my life is just what my God wants for me.
Now that I have done the work, I look so forward to sharing my
days with people in my life, my *tribe* who gets me and who are
loved so much. Gatherings, picnics, day trips and wonderful events
that celebrate us all are planned, but so are phone calls, texts,
cards for no reason....
I can give of myself to people because I focused healing on myself.
Why share this?
Well, sharing ones difficult journeys may help even one who
has been experiencing this same thing.
It gives some Hope.
I do think that we all need to give one another Grace.
My days have settled into a lovely celebration of the seasons.
The angst that I believed I had any control of in the past is gone.
I view the world through my own eyes of discernment, needing no one
to tell me what I should do, think or feel.
I now want to celebrate all of us with a lovely recipe I just found.I just make it GF for us .
It is hearty enough to serve over noodles or rice on a cold evening
or light enough to make with zoodles or placed on a big salad.
I just adore it & I hope that you will too.
Have a wonderful weekend friends.
May you hear songbirds in the morning like I did today.
May you give yourself Grace.
May every good thing be yours.
BLESS,
Raven
xoxo
