Wow, you have been on such a healing journey, moving back to Chicago. And it sure seems that you are completely ready and able if not already accomplished. Thank you for sharing your voyage into the past with your present-day astuteness. Monday noon here, I am just a notch or two lower from the complete Joy with the wonderful surprise in the Kamala/Walz ticket happening and the uplifting I needed when it quickly became clear how this was joyful magic. I am writing postcards, now to the registered Dems. in Arizona, I have 180 more to do, handwritten notes to remind them how crucial their vote is to secure an indisputable victory in the Senate, House, and White House. I have probably drawn and handwritten at least 500 cards. I LOVE doing this, it brings me such hope for our democracy. On Sat. I did a HUGE energy work/clearing of fear and 48 hours later, it's settling in. This is many layers and lives of horrible brutality. I'm done!!!!! Now I get to reap the rewards and let down my perpetual guard and now be more open to all the good! Love to you and thank you. Susan
I enjoy reading about your current experiences as well as how they connect to the past and how you've grown and healed. Sometimes it really helps me to process and understand my own experiences. Thank you sharing so openly.
I'm currently in some kind of transition; a dismantling of an old, painful pattern. I'm still unable to get a root canal for my tooth abscess (pain began the first week of July) because they can't numb me and I'm going to require sedation. I can't pay for it, and all my efforts to get financial assistance have so far fallen flat; the provider requires payment up front so I can't even schedule an appointment. I run out of antibiotics today, and I'm scared.
The old pattern here is that I need help and can't get what I need. (YET!) In the past this belief has been so powerful that I didn't even seek help, or would fail to utilize resources that were easily available to me. This experience is teaching me to persist in advocating for myself until my needs are met, and it's deeply uncomfortable. The constant discomfort/pain and fear of what could happen if it remains untreated are making it all the more challenging, but I persist.
I know I am supported and my guides assure me that I will get the care I need in Divine right timing. I will be grateful when this is resolved and I can move forward.
I am so sorry for your dental issues and pain and the underlying emotional issues and trauma associated.
I appreciate you for sharing as well.
I have a similar pattern of not seeing the help right in front of my face. I do tend to see it more quickly and clearly now and am much better at receiving it, but it's still a journey.
I love this. Thanks for sharing with us. I am so glad that you shared the fact that there is always going to be suffering and us feeling bad does not help anyone else who is suffering. I always think about Wayne Dyer’s quote “You can’t feel bad enough to make anybody else’s life better” I think it is. I’ve had to hold myself back from letting loose on people about this topic when I see them make comments on people’s social media. You are right, there is always suffering somewhere. It’s awful and of course we don’t want anyone to suffer. It hurts our heart (because we are good f-ing people). But us feeling bad is not going to help their suffering. In fact, as you said, feeling joy helps spread the energy of joy. That’s what I want to do, spread the energy of joy and love.
I’ve been dealing with an eye issue all summer, which finally escalated into a visit to the urgent care after getting blown off by my eye doctor. But for me and I issue leads to migraines so it’s been a pretty miserable few weeks, especially since I’ve had to wear glasses instead of contacts. It’s bugging me again today, but I will get it figured out.
It’s been exciting to feel the shift in energy and experience the collective joy that is taking place on the planet. I am all in for that. Love to you and Jon and the fur babies.
Sounds like quite the journey, literally and figuratively with the drive through the neighborhoods and all that’s going on with your parents. Joy is certainly in order!! It does help balance the heavy, right? Like you are saying - it doesn’t have to be all one thing or the other. In fact, it seems like a balm for the . . . well, for what ails you, as Mommom would say!
Speaking of her, I am steeped in family this week. At my brother’s in GA to help with his littles while he had ( this a.m. ) mitral valve surgery. Mom came too. The word is that all went well & he is in ICU. Kids are good, but leave for school before 7 a.m.! it’s one of those situations where I go out at a time I wouldn’t even be awake, let alone functioning, and get to see the whole different world that exists while I sleep.
Oooh - also, gotta post some pics of Celia! She had her first game as from major on Friday 🥹. So proud!!
I love reading your articles, Nora and also benefit from your openness. Thanks for creating this space, and sharing the joy!!
Oh - epic is a good word! I’m going to use it with her. Thank you! Also - anyone else’s mom drive them crazy?! I’m sure it’s just me ;). Families are wonderful!!!!! (she repeated again and again and again)

I am so sorry to hear about your eye, and especially that it manifested due to lack of care/not being listened to.
May this pass quickly.
Yes, the joy is wonderful!
Thanks Nora! 💜💙
