Our Kids Are Losing Their Empathy & Technology Has A Lot to Do With It
It was shocking for me to discover that our kids are growing up to be far less caring and compassionate that any previous generation. And while you can’t place the blame entirely on technology, it’s…

Coming Out – SuperPowers Of Empathy
Today I rejoice in total acceptance, of all that
got me here .. Ancestors whom were perceived
as this or that, labeled forever negatively
as well as some living had/mask their sensitivities .
My current research has graced me , beyond
measure , in a true liberation that has resulted
in so much love ❤️ and liberation I am weak
with it .. Truths convey so much lightness
of being and where I must dwell.
While I am mindful of others energies , I
have amassed armor that shields me , or I
can transmute quickly , in large part due to
final exams, that signify that graduation has
allowed me mastership, and anyone who
is threatened by me , is not .. I decide how
much energy I wish to put in any situation
and in doing so have reduced repeated drains
as I live as quietly and peaceful as possible .
‘Tis only a facet of being multi-dimensional
a result of so many experiences good/bad
and all between , of many life’s .
Our conditioning, and social denial of
our essential self , has failed as we witness the
evolutionary leap forward , and the knowledge
and acceptance of our many gifts , will be
exposed .
The insanity of repression , thus depression
is the shadow being revealed that much can
be transmuted , rejected , and eliminated .
Exits will increase of those who can move on
and those whose nature is shadow , denial
greed , abuse , etc .. our Leap forward threatens
their status quo , steeped in failure to own
their power to heal their own wounds …
I honor both , I honor I have made all efforts
possible in many cases , and I release and forgive
myself if I erred, in ignorance, and I release
my responsibility , in honor of the individual
choice of one’s destiny .

Go rest Higher On That Mountain .
I play this song , I choose for Dad’s funeral
and share in lieu of Mother’s Day , for
my Dad-Mom , who watching me on
high , on my mountain home .
Justice shall be done , in the name
of my Father , he assured me .
And daily I hear him , Punkin’
You have made me proud , and
you deserve better, it’s on its way .
Just as had that quizzical/magical
look as we arrived at Disney World
Owning that I would never have imagined
this in my whole life …I get it .
Magical May
He’s always in my heart ❤️.

Mom had beautiful handwriting , very distinct

Harper for later . Her Mom used to write
beautiful Thank You notes , another lost
art that has a resurgence as we create New Earth

TOLEDO, Ohio (WNWO) The state is bringing back cursive to Ohio classrooms after nearly a decade without it. Starting this Fall, elementary teachers will once again have the materials to teach cursive thanks to House Bill 58. Ohio lawmakers approved the change in December, and Governor John Kasich signed it into law. The measure took effect in March, making it mandatory for the upcoming school year.

Angry? Depressed? You Could Be Grieving Over World Events.
It’s another cycle of shadow, these days ..however it’s brings

No one needs to have died for you to be grieving, writes Life Coach and Mentor, Remy Blumenfeld. It could be that an important avenue has become closed off to you, or that something is standing between you and your deeply held values. You could be sad, angry or depressed because of world events.

An open letter to Fathers of Our Children
It is not that I have not seen or witnessed or carried
your burdens , emotionally , deeply as a empathic
healer of deep spirit and faith , just surrendering
to vision , that I know is of DIVINITY and experiences
of having our children and grandchildren to whom
tethers or cords cannot be broken.
I witnessed the tears , last year , after many catch
up calls , that began with you can text and call me
now .. The happy girl , with her own trauma-drama
in an open hostility towards me that is so many
negative tentacles, as even as I was abused openly
by her , even when medicated , I knew her deep pain
and yours were equaled ..And much Harm would
result .. the reverb was I know there is a Divine
and there will be justice . I will speak up for millions
of erased families , that 1 prevail in all ways
as I continued my decent in hell on earth …
Mom’s Day brings this to mind ..
She left with so much undone , unsaid as it seems
you choose .. however , having witnessed as much
I could of Dad’s life , in his effort to spare me ,
his anger , were born of not knowing , of not
having support , of not being heard , while
keeping his independence . It was not until his
fall, outside nights and days for 4 days , and rebirth
as he was brought to , that I knew I had succeeded
and he was lifted from a depressed solitary existence
to hero.. I encouraged him to make changes in his
will , and add brothers , leave Jerry his car , funeral
plans , and tidied up his house, organizing , which
brought discoveries that still make me cry .
I found Mama’s Southern Living Magizine Books
annuals she cherished , and in another drawer ,
hidden , her jewlery box , the gold and diamonds
that disappeared the day of the funeral , along
with other treasures ..You were down for the
count , and walking , so was I. Trauma does
not cover the surreal experience of being estranged
in a knowing , of family , in addition to the death
of a Mother who was betrayed by her corporate
AMA employers , at 67 , as was her 1st born.
Sure cuts down on retirement , ya know?
Dad received a portion I believe ..wasn’t a lot .
And they got him , too ..
The time we did have , was magical and so
deeply held , and had I known he had end stage
heart failure , end stage COPD , and he was being
medically and spiritually and financially abused
I would have made more noise .
I did report to Social Services, Dad’s Dr went out
telling Dad he’d put him in nursing home and
Dad would loose all his money .
So no danger was found , I was limited in
seeing him in in prisoned, by drugs , hearing
how in and out he was, as he was paraded
before friends and church members, like
a banner of Christianity. He admitted his
situation , having received an in house hair
cut that was horrific , he was like a 2 year old .
I was returning a huge hand gun , he had given
me , like Clint Eastwood type , due to the
urging of his caretakers that I might kill my self
as I brought him a few things , including new
suit separates including socks , to replace
the suit , that had been preserved for his
funeral.
In discussions , he had never owned up to
we discussed caskets , as he was going to need
a larger one , but he was concerned over cost.
He did not recall having ordered his , when Mom
died in 99. I resolved that and so he was taken
by caregivers to change his will , that put my
nullified his existing will , which was out dated
and left everything to me after the bank
sold everything .
That was a bad idea , along with other , which
omitted sons and daughter , he had plans to leave
insurance polices . Stocks existed but were in
a safety deposit box , which caretaker accessed
after having Dad write that will naming him
executor of will , medical and financial.
I discovered this by a warning text to watch my
back 13 days before he died , notified 2 days
after he developed pneumonia, after a full day
out which included viewing a remodel of his
kitchen flooring , that a relative of caretaker did
without regard to dust ..COPD , and no immunity
.
He was begin morphine to bring forth death
and no longer communicating when I arrived
receiving a call in late afternoon , having to
prepare and driving 45-50 minutes .
For 12 hours , I sat with him , always with
someone with us .
Leaving once to call a friend , a professional
who helped me grasp what stage he was at.
I suggested playing music for him , as a conversation
was ongoing about his money or events , a phone
call negotiating money to aid getting daughter
in ..
As I wiped his mouth of foam, I owned that
this was all negatives , he was responsible for
leaving his body ..Bucket after bucket , of tissues .
Dose after dose of morphine ….
He looked up at the ceiling , startled , and I
rejoiced as I knew his angels and spirit guides
had arrived and explained to him and he calmed .
At least 6 times he looked up , and I asked
permission to removed his oxygen , from each
son . I received permission , and found later
this was proper end of life procedure .
He blinked in surprise , and I told him it was ok.
He trusted me, heard me , unable to see at
that point .. I am his Mom as he was mine ,
and his last moments on earth , gave me a
gift , and liberation , that allowed me to withstand
the aftermath ..
It affirmed behaviors of the father of our sons
that were never acceptable , but allowed me
to acceptable ..
This song of character , of owning one’s truth
and transforming non responsive failures
and non forgiveness, guilt , shame , regrets
abuses , in light and light that is the right of
each of us.
The feeling of running out of time , is pushed
but also shows up in ways that have opened
my visionary thoughts into a whole other
skill.
So I offer the CSN& Y, DM cellular response
and admit , I employ eye to eye , in an effort
to more cosmically connect ..
Dad had time, he transitioned , he exited
returning to the Great Mother , his Mother
waiting , Mom , so many welcome souls
and in that , who does not deserve this light
this Divinity ?
As I listened to the father of our sons
still clinging to falsehoods , he teared up
as he spoke of our sons , and his desires
to correct a few errors , and I saw the light
in him , which I choose to believe is in fact
his truth , not his shadow ..

Financially Ever After: What to Do If You’re Being Gaslighted with Meredith Shirey
Last week, we talked about financial abuse and gaslighting. On this episode of Financially Ever After, we’re diving deeper into the topic of gaslighting with our guest, Meredith Shirey. Meredith is the founder and practice director of her New York-based private practice, and is a psychotherapist who specializes in relationship issues through couples therapy. Today we’re talking about what gaslighting is, what to do to get yourself out of a gaslighting situation, and how to help someone who may be a victim. What is gaslighting? Gaslighting is when somebody makes you question your own reality. This is not a difference of opinion, this is a deliberate and malicious attempt to gain control over you. For example, secretly dimming the lights with their smartphone while acting like they don’t notice anything when you bring it up. When a gaslighter succeeds in making you question your own judgment, that opens the door to thinking like, if I can’t trust myself, then I must trust you — allowing that person to wield a lot of control and power in the relationship. Meredith shares some real life examples of gaslighting, and gives insight as to specific reasons abusers may choose to do this. Grounding yourself If you think you’re being gaslighted, do some simple grounding to remind yourself of your reality. Remind yourself you’re in your body. Remind yourself that you know your truth. Meredith shares some exercises you can do, like labeling items in the room out loud (“microphone, coffee cup”), or doing things with your five senses (What can you physically feel right now? What do you hear? What’s something you can smell?). Narcissism and gaslighting Narcissism and gaslighting go hand in hand. They like telling themselves they’re better than other people, that they’re superior. So if they’re feeling fragile or terrified, their way of defending against that is to act in ways that are very controlling. They have a need for attention, and sometimes they’re willing to get that attention in terrible ways, like gaslighting. What to do If you recognize that this is happening in your relationship, do not confront the perpetrator. Don’t think that you’re going to be able to change them or their behaviors by going toe to toe with them. Find a therapist who can help you work through this, but do not search on your home devices, in case they’re being monitored. Do not go to couples therapy. Go to individual therapy. The way couples therapy is held, it may enable the abuser even more — so this is something you need to do on your own. As an added note, be sure to go to a therapist instead of friends or family. A narcissist who gaslights will tend to rally people to back them up, and they’re very good at making sure these things happen behind closed doors so it’s your word against theirs. Helping someone else If you realize someone else is being gaslighted, be very mindful of not putting them in a situation that’s dangerous. Do not contact, confront, or engage the abuser in any way. When you bring it up, allow for a place of openness and transparency and no judgment. Do not validate the abuse, but validate their feelings and let them know this is safe and you love them unconditionally.
