The challenges are coming fast and furious these days and I think our test is to just breathe and take one step at a time through them. I thought you did great.
Dear Nora, thank you for another wonderful read. It was a good reminder for me about the importance of my own inner security and my self support of same, which has been deeply shaken over the last year through the cacophony of illnesses I have suffered which were deeply disconcerting to me and perhaps even more so to my husband, who had to sit by and watch and did a life check on me every morning when he woke up. Now we are healing together and your article was like a compass point to where we both need to focus: our inner security. Interestingly, my sister-in-law got on a toot about how WE need to move and she was going to help us to find a better or bigger or something place to live. We really did not want to do this, especially now, but she is not to be dissuaded when she gets an idea into her head and we went through several weeks of drawing boundaries which she did not hear until finally she did. Whew! That was a struggle we did not need but the battle was worth it and peace reigns once again, more or less. I feel for your many emotions about your move. It's kind of hard for me to think of you in Chicago. I liked the thought of you just down the road, so to speak, in my neighboring state of California. As far as that goes, I like feeling healthy and that I was doing well in my senior years, until suddenly boom! Everything changed. At least a lot changed, for both me and Randy and you and John. I really don't know what the f*** happened or why, but it did. For both of us in our own ways. My love to you and John and the pack I hope that Sookie finds her inner security and that Zoe does as well so is not to be traumatized by the no doubt disconcerting attack from a pack member. Thank you for this article. I read them regularly and find them insightful and touching to my heart. Best wishes in your process of major change and settling in in Chicago. I do miss thinking of you as living relatively down the road in my neighboring state but something in the magic transported you where you are now. Thanks to you and John for all you do for all of us.
Nora, thanks for sharing! I mentioned several months ago that we were working towards moving and we have since moved to the next province (in Canada) and a totally new city we have never lived within and we have no family here. Although we fared well through the very hectic sale, packing up, traveling, entering our new home, and unpacking, it has resulted in a feeling of being lost somewhere along the way. You have described what sounds like a similar feeling as well, however, more succinctly. We are grieving the home and community we left and we are learning to adjust to our new life somewhere totally new. Life has been relatively quiet for us around here while we recover (perhaps heal) and we venture out slowly to discover the joys and benefits of our new home and surrounding community.
As I was reading, a friend I made from a small business group I was in last year popped into my mind. Her name is Sharon Vincuilla and she works holistically between humans and their animal companions around neurodivergence, nervous system support, trauma, and co-regulation. Maybe she could be a support for you all during this time. Here’s her website in case it pings: https://holisticdogexpert.com
Regardless, sending you all much love and healing and rest as the days settle 💕
When I was moving across the country last year someone was repeatedly trying to hack into my gmail. It heightened my awareness of need for security, getting dozens of notifications a day of attempts to reset my password and realising I was on a hackers list and worried that eventually their automated software might be successful. I was researching how to secure my accounts and ended up buying a physical security key, so no one can log into any of my accounts without this physical key. Highly recommend. Tech security is a real thing this day and age. Super impressive you got your FB account back!! Talk about magic 🪄✨

Thank you so much. Yes, breathing, being in the moment, and tending to what is needed at hand is a powerful path.

Opps! on that repetition at the end. My love to you and Jon and the pack
Thank you so much for sharing. I am so sorry for all that you've been through. I thought of you and sent you reiki many times over the past year.
Thank you for all of your love and support.
Thank you for the Reiki and loving thoughts. I am sure it helped as all my doctor could recommend was hospice, and here I am---still standing!
Oh my goodness. How scary.
I just now caught how dictation misspelled Jon's name. Another oops! 😘
