Thanks Alison and Laura! What a pleasure to have this reminder on the threshold of this Gate. I've always felt the turning of the seasonal tide in early August with relief and gratitude, a kind of refreshing surge that makes me want to draw or sew or paint, savoring making something beautiful. Earlier this week as I sat meditating, it occurred to me that my prayer for 'creative expansion through love and joy' could be shared with all life on the planet effortlessly. Not just me and my loved ones, but all of us living beings! Had I never had that thought before? Reading your posts, I'm gleefully thinking that since All Time is NOW, the prayer has been expanding, is expanding, will expand across all time right now... and that feeling of love in my heart, surging again, has been in my experience all along. I'm so grateful!

I'm glad that post was helpful to you! I have noticed irritation with TV noise. I left it off all day yesterday. Thank you for the forecast!

Me too! I even dug out a pair of my husband's noise cancelling headphones. Your post was a lovely reminder of simple things we can do to make ourselves, and by extension, everyone else, feel better.

Alison – I always look forward to your monthly overview. Everyone in my circle is just completely exhausted and feeling trepidation over the upcoming Miderms. Hope you are finding many small ways to replenish your energy. Thank you so much for all you do to help support us during these unprecedented times...blessings and love to you.

I think we’re all feeling that, Portia. It stinks, doesn’t it? Hang in there. Sending love to you and your circle.
