Surviving the Circus

As of November, 2024, Migrants that arrived here years ago as children, will finally be able to enroll in Healthcare, but still will not be able to apply for Medicaid.  Thank you, President Biden and the Democratic Party, for providing this small step in making sure that everyone has access to healthcare. It is not enough, but it's a start.   Every human deserves access to health care.  "The move took longer than promised to finalize and fell short of Democratic President Joe Biden's initial proposal to allow those migrants to sign up for Medicaid, the health insurance program that provides nearly free coverage for the nation's poorest people. But it will allow thousands of people, known as “Dreamers,” to access tax breaks when they sign up for coverage after the Affordable Care Act's marketplace enrollment opens Nov. 1, just days ahead of the presidential election."

Once again, I feel betrayed by religious dogma. So here it is Monday morning and I'm just now learning about a lovely house blessing I could have performed over the weekend, had I only known it existed, and that it was being observed globally.  Can you imagine the collective consciousness power of such an event? Just wondering why I wasn't taught about the Feast of the Epiphany and the Epiphany house blessing as a child, in my Southern Baptist Church. I feel betrayed by dogma.  I feel betrayed by every denomination that dictates what can and cannot be taught in Sunday School, which is why... I no longer attach my spirituality to any type of organized religion. Time-honored traditions, whether approved of by the board or not, should always be taught. We should each be entitled to take advantage of our God-given free will and decide for ourselves which traditions we will embrace. Who was it that said, "you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free....

The following is a letter I have sent through automation to write my Representatives encouraging them to support term limits for Supreme Court Justices. Feel free to copy and paste the following letter that I rewrote from the previously formatted letter that will appear in the link provided at the bottom of this article. Or, use their letter. Or, better yet, rewrite it for yourself as I have done.  When you go to the link, your representatives will automatically appear when you enter your address.  This is such a simple way to contact your representatives in Washington, D.C.  Topic - government reform or judicial Letter: Thank you for your service to our country as a representative of the people. Integrity still matters to most people. Unfortunately, we are living in an era where we can no longer depend on one's conscience to dictate or control individual actions. I, and the majority of Americans, have lost faith in the Supreme Court’s ability to act as a neutral arbiter ...

Samhain pronounced “SAH-win,” means end of summer in Gaelic. We call it Halloween.  Interesting background info on the "Thinning of the Veil." Celts believed that during Samhain, the boundary between the living and the spirit world became thinner, allowing spirits to interact with the physical realm.  This belief contributed to Halloween's association with ghosts and other supernatural beings.

October, 2023, is by far the best month of this year for me, because it delivered my precious grandson. I arrived at my daughter's home 2 weeks before the baby was due and that was good, because he came one week early. I was determined not to miss this birthing experience. That extra week gave us time to prepare the Sacred Space for our new little miracle. Although he had a big sturdy crib, I decided that he also needed something that could move from mom's bedroom to the den easily, because as all mothers know, you hate being away from your baby, especially at the beginning. It also needed to be sturdy, with excellent reviews, and with easy access to the infant.  Another consideration is the length of time Mom would actually find this purchase useful. We didn't want an item that would be unusable in 3 months. It also needed to be mostly mesh on the sides to protect the baby. Plus, it made it easier to take a peek at the baby. We decided on the 3-in-1 AMKE bassinet crib comb...

Looking for a concise yet proper guide to breathing for healing?  There are many experts in their respective fields who have offered excellent instructions for deep breathing and breathing for relaxation, but today the focus is on proper breathing for healing. Personal experience has proven to me that this process can work. As with anything that affects our well-being, mental awareness and consciousness of the present moment are key components to the amount of success one will achieve. "My understanding about breathing and healing is this: Breathe in through your nose and breathe out very slowly through your mouth.  Feel the energy travel through your nose, go up to your crown chakra, to your neck, to your spine, and spread out through your body. Imagine - breathe in light and breathe out energy that doesn’t belong to your true self.  Consciously release stress; feel the tension on your back and shoulders getting lighter and lighter through each inhalation and exhalation....
