I'm going to try to sleep...
my body just wants to sleep.
If I can't....
I'll sit up and see who's sitting with me, by the fire.

Hello Lighter-
I will pray the prayer of a grateful soul, that you receive what you need for that most priceless of commodities- peace in your life and heart. Whatever hurtful and unsettling things that you are facing in this often cruel world, you and you babies deserve better. You have been so helpful to me in finding greater peace in my own life. You have my prayers and support in all that you need...
Love From Your Friend,

Lighter,
I was looking for you earlier. I was wanting to make some leftover spaghetti sauce taste like something other than spaghetti sauce, for I'd already had spaghetti two nights in a row. I thought, "Where is lighter when I need her?" Had I known that you'd be sitting by the fire with the Amazons, I'd have brought my spaghetti sauce laced with chilli from a packet. Actually, it wasn't all that bad.
I'm thinking of you and the kiddles.

Thanks for joining the circle... tt and changing.
I'm praying too...
grateful to receive the prayers of those who know something about the battle of perception.....
legal and emotional menauverings of those without conscience.
I have guilt over pulling my family deeper into this ongoing despair (I've been living with for almost 2 years.... paralyzing)
I have to focus...
focus.
I slept hard last night....
and the dreams weren't too bad.
Thanks for being here... it means a lot.

Lighter,
You arent pulling your family into it. Someone, or something, is pulling them in. But it isnt you.
That's an important distinction, because you don't need any false guilt at this stage of the game. There is a vortex of despair and it threatens to suck in everyone close by: you, your children, your parents, your brothers and sisters, your friends. You are not it's author or creator. It is outside of you--it is other.
You will learn how to resist its pull--other people will help you--and you will help your children.
Oh, Lighter, I know how it feels--it has been so very recent. But it will end. I promise.
Love

Thank you CB for that reminder.......
I didn't create all this.
That's so true.
((CB))
I'm so glad you're here right now..... thank you.

Lighter, When I am feeling under attack, I pray through the Psalms.
The power of prayer is very real, I believe. To me, it's not a sending of good vibes, but a plea to the Creator of all to stand in the gap.
This is big stuff you are your little ones are facing.
That's why I say the following, now... it is time to clarify within yourself, whom do you serve?
If that's not settled within your own heart, there's no better time than the present.
Do you know that it is not written anywhere in the Bible that "God helps those who helps themselves" ?
Not anywhere.
Just some thoughts, with love,
Carolyn

Hi Lighter,
I resonate, it truly is the Outside of you - the other. Of which, one can never have ownership.
One can only ever own one's inner self, wherein the answer resides.
The author is the Outside Person.

Light,
Runs in.... I'm here... Here Present.... Amazon ..... and really feeling Amazon today.....brushes off some Amazonish onto you..... you stand strong....everything, everyway you are handling things your children are learning from you. It was a hellish funeral service today....Completely left my D out and my H was mentioned, like oh yeah and the son, now back to us,me, us...... and I turned and looked at my D and how she handled everything she was strong and to my :shock: a warrior, an amazon, filled with strength and defended our family, her step dad.... and we didn't even have to do it with a confrontation.....Whoo hoo! We just are....We are family and we stick together......and the rest.... well let them be ASSH***S..
But we are no wimps when there will be battle..and there will be....we will fight..!! As a family......
You will to Light...... and yes ... with some guilt that others are involved not just you.... but sometimes... it can't be helped......they know the fight (as mine do) and it is about family, rights, and taking stand...scary as it may be...You must be a warrior now....
And I will be with you, if in mind only...supporting...and freezing up some Reese's peanut butter cups..for comfort...
And prayers for you not for strength because you already have that but for some comfort, rest, and peace...
And ask for some help....that is strength....to know when you need it...
Love

Thanks for sending me your strength.... I feel it and gratefully accept.
Again.... so sorry for your family's loss and any additional uneccessary pain.
So wrong of his FOO.... ::shaking head:: but they can't do any better.
It does give you a chance to glimpse your dd's metal....
she's already an amazon....
that, we can see.
I'm feeling steadier.... have made some decisions and in process of making others.
Thank you, everyone, for you continued support and prayers.

Hi Lighter -
It is so hard to keep the strategy straight when under direct attack. I know that you can do it...Do whatever you can to keep your physical and spirutual being intact, and soothe the emeotional part...
Love and Peace to You,

Debkor-
Sorry that you and yours have had to go through the uncivilized behavior at the funeral- the person who was the best of them is gone and you were there for her. Now you and your husband and children can go on, shake off the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and the attempted hurts from the Lilliputians. You did right by his mother and that is what is important. ((((((((((Debkor and family))))))))))
Love and Condolences,

Are you feeling a bit more like an Amazon today, Carolyn?

Are you feeling a bit more like an Amazon today, Carolyn?

No... seems that's not my style, Lighter.
I do come bearing offerings though.
I hope they'll help... and I'm still praying.
First ~ Mark 10... about the necessity of childlike faith.
Then a sampling of favorites:
Psalm 20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we will trust in the Lord our God.
Psalm 118:8 It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in people.
Psalm 146:3 Don't put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there.
And finally, a mother-lode, of sorts: http://www.bible-topics.com/Trust.html (http://www.bible-topics.com/Trust.html)

Lighter: just now seeing your topic.
From a push hands & the "inner" tai chi Amazon:
soft defeats hard.
What this means, in practice, is when someone's coming at you with force & scary strength - you step aside; get out of the way.
If they push - you listen to their "intent"... follow their movement, their eyes... and when you've spotted the weakness, you quickly apply a neutralizing move, upsetting their "root" - making them lose balance. There are always infinite counters to any "attack", as long you maintain your "root" and your balance.
You don't have to be the most physically strong, the biggest or baddest... you only need to know your own strength, be perceptive, reserve a "plan b" - if plan "a" isn't effective...
and you have US watching your back for you, so you can concentrate.
