Well, the good news is that Luther survived the warm-up fireworks last night without the need for CBD oil! For a guy with his history of abuse and trauma, that’s right up there in the land of miracles.
If you’re new around here, WELCOME! And Luther is the guy on the left, sporting the collar that reads blind dog. His sidekick, Phoebe, is – blessedly – the prize winner for chilled out Newfie.
Chilled out is exactly what we need around here, today.
Folk music marathon on YouTube. (Well, when I’m pushing the buttons!)
A huge meatloaf production project for dinner with lots of leftovers for the freezer. (Our version of fast food.)
Bunches of videos and worksheets in prep for a meeting to start bringing my Grandmother Quiz to life. Stay tuned!
Probably some more consultation with a new – and extremely talented – artist, face to face with her first commission and a really big canvas.
A couple of loads of laundry.
All of which is to say that we’re not likely to win the award for observing 4th of July traditions. And there’s part of me that is missing the fried chicken and potato salad that were dependable parts of this day when I was a kid.
Fortunately our friend, Josh, who owns The Corner Pub, is planning to observe National Fried Chicken Day which is, apparently, a thing that happens on July 6th. We’re planning to help!
For today, though, a question. It’s not an easy question. It is one that helps me focus, especially in times like this. You already know what it is.
I have a new answer this year.
Healing.
Yep, healing.
Wherever and however we can.
And right now, in a world of many things I can’t much change, my plan is (Wait for it!) ART.
Well, not exactly art, but INTENTIONAL CREATIVITY®. The process of using our whole beings to envision that which we need or were born to express or to teach.
And, very soon now, you’ll have a chance to join in for one, or two, or all three of the experiences my IC Sister, Hobby Parent, and I are busy creating. In fact, you can click HERE to find everything you need to know for a free webinar designed to deal with HOW that healing happens!
For this moment, our prayers for you are peace, freedom, dignity, and whatever else you need to do what you believe. Blessings, Sue, Phoebe, and Luther
ps… If you know any cool folks who relate to the Grandmother Archetypes, Hobby and I would be thrilled if you’d share this with them. They’re invited, too!
