2025 is HERE! Living, and A Getting Back at IT thought...
Sharing my NOTES post from today. See you on Monday the 6th!
Hello all and sundry!
Well, I am not supposed to be back to post posting on here until Monday, but several things are on my mind. The press to write them down is here right now, so here I am.
“Hey!” to everyone and hopes that the winter break has been good for you all, and that a new year of creative juices are ready to be squeezed and shared! I am SO looking forward to reading and writing here!
The new year has arrived fully engulfed in its joy and tragedy vortex. The first babies of the year have greeted life, and so many souls have taken their exit, already. We all are in a constant swirl of celebration and devastation. Hugs and love to you if you are experiencing either, or both, of these.
Personally, I have been feeling both; being an empath keeps that a constant in this living. Celebration and devastation orbit each other and neither looks to be falling off of its axis. So, in feeling these, has that experience ever really changed for us humans in all of human history?
Factually, it hasn’t. Everyone, at any given moment, is experiencing the human condition. There is birth, there is death, and there are all of the emotions coursing through us; these things do not change.
It has always been strange to me how we can feel that whatever we are going through is the first time it has ever happened to anyone, when it has happened on repeat for centuries. It is only new to our lives, our experience.
What I take away from this life fact is that I am NOT the first, will NOT be the last, and like those before me, I will move forward through it, come what may. I will move forward with many means to do that: love, compassion, connection, empathy, prayer, music, nature, reading, and writing. These are the constants in my toolbox.
I do hope we share what each of us carries in our toolboxes for living and in doing so, we can do our swirling in this vortex together.
I love all y’all and am so blessed to be back with each of you in 2025!
Many blessings and MUCH LOVE,
~Wendy💜
Heartfelt New Year wishes to you and yours. Wendy, the moment we realize that we are here for a while and must use all we have been blessed with lying in our 'toolbox', we automatically will be governed with compassion, gratitude, servitude, selflessness and purest forms of joy which can be extracted from most mundane things. Your note made my day and I am very much looking forward to reading more and more of you and learning volumes which I can implement in my life to turn it better and merrier in a true sense.
"Celebration and devastation orbit each other and neither looks to be falling off of its axis. So, in feeling these, has that experience ever really changed for us humans in all of human history?"
Hi, my dear Wendy, you've given a beautiful image to what seems like a natural law... It seems this experience has remained constant for us humans... but I hope that through these experiences we are changed for the better, as we are moved and washed through joy and pain...
💛May this New Year come with its blessings and may we receive them, dear friend.💛
