Today, I was supposed to post a blog from an author about one of my favorite subjects, Egyptian history, but the last thing I was thinking about was my blog. I’ll post that one on Saturday, so be looking for it—tons of great photographs and a fun article to go with them…
Some of you are aware of the dark cloud that’s been hovering over my family of late. It feels like we’re hexed. My dd had to close her frame shop due to too many medical issues within her family. We had to make the decision that she’ll be a stay-at-home mom for the unforeseen future. Kelly had to undergo a radical hysterectomy; her 11-year-old daughter had an extended stay in the hospital; and today, her 6-year-old had surgery to remove a tumor from her leg—and that doesn’t look like that will be the end of that little girl’s issues. The doctors think she has something called fibrous dysplasia, and that will be a chronic, life-long affliction.
So, even though we are resilient and usually very upbeat and positive people, right now we’re all depressed and doing our best to push through everything. In the meantime, writing time is precious and hard to schedule because she needs so much support. I’m doing the heavy lifting (she has a very active 20-month-old!) while her husband works. So I’m over there from early morning to evening.
But, that doesn’t mean I’m getting nothing done; I’m just not as communicative as I usually am, so bear with me. I’m making lists and checking them twice to make sure I don’t drop too many balls.
I think I’ll sage my dd’s house tomorrow. š

So sorry to hear what you are all dealing with — at times like that it’s hard to keep this in mind — focus on the positive, because what you focus on expands. See dd and the children healthy and well, no matter what your eyes and ears tell you. Let your inner imagery envision wellness, prosperity and happiness for them all.
Having hard times here, too, but not health related. Just resurfaced after a week long semi-disaster due to storms, falling trees, etc. In my case I know why – Pluto is hitting my Sun. Ugh!!!
Stay strong. Sending prayers and healing energies your way.
Love,
Gemma

Delilah hang on there ! My prayers on my church are for you and your family.

Oh my.
Sending all sorts of good thoughts, good vibes, prayers, and good intentions. Were I closer, I’d bake cookies, because cookies and tea make everything better.
And also hugs to everybody, lots of them, and picture my dog jumping in to join the love fest. He doesn’t like unhappy vibes and does his best to remedy. So sending his good will and cuddliness along as well.
Lots of love.

You might want to check around for any “unauthorized” souvenirs before you start smudging the place. Some haunted or magical places have warnings and cautionary tales of bad luck and hard times coming to those who take something away with them that wasn’t honestly obtained. Black sand or lava from Hawaii or ANYTHING from Bodie, CA are some of the most notorious examples. If you find anything, get it returned (or at least on its way) before you start any cleansing ritual.
