Sending you much love as you navigate this dynamic, Nora.

For me, the past few weeks have been about a tooth abscess. It's forced me to deal with energies and emotions and issues that have long been suppressed. It's also brought deeply engrained, extremely painful patterns so directly into my field of attention (my face, literally) that I cannot ignore them. Bit by bit, I have been working through this and am amazed at how much has shifted in the last few days. I'm at least another week or more away from getting the necessary root canal (after two failed attempts last week) and I'm interested to see what further shifts and growth will occur as this unfolds.

Today, I'm driving my son to Portland for his first meeting with the surgeon he chose for his top surgery, after waiting almost exactly three years. We did not choose this appointment date; it was assigned by the provider, and the synchronicity is striking. I'm filled with a sense of right-timing as I note the full moon and Uranus energies because what could be more appropriate than the first concrete step of a transformation process my son has been creating for three years? I'm filled with nervous excitement as I'm getting ready to leave on this journey, and so honored to be the mother of this remarkable being.

Thank you, Amy Beth.

I am so sorry about the dramatic turn your dental issues have taken and love to know that you are committed to your healing in the way it is all unfolding.

Much love to you and your son as he embarks on this part of his journey and healing.

Lots of love to you. Two family members who passed feel that disease. And one in memory care currently. She’s only nine years older than me.

You are most certainly in my heart and prayers dear Nora 💜.i absolutely adore hearing about your adventures in Chicago. I’ve only driven through on my cross country several times. Street fairs in cities are so dang fun. I miss those fun city things and love hearing you enjoy them! Take special good care of you ❤️

Oh my, my first thought was, good on you for having the strength to have compassion and boundaries! Compassion doesnt mean you have to have dinner with the person. The pain is deep because you never had the consistency of a unconditionally loving mom. I truly truly am so sorry Nora. You are an awesome amazing woman, who has transmuted so much and have become a north star of love to me. Thank you! My mom died at 41, I was 14. She couldn't handle the chaos, the abusive hubby and her denial was undeniable! Super full moon, My intention, to give up and heal fear! Help me Wanda. I love you Nora.

Hi Nora, sending love. It is a lot of energy to navigate. Thank you for the tip about water. I am triple fire sign. Birthday this week. Soothing water. Cats and water 😁

I too am estranged from my mom. She’s 88. It’s been so hard but I know I am in another healing cycle and I’m seeing this energy now as holding my feet firmly in place so I do not betray myself. It’s so hard but karmic healing needs a moment to take root. (Note to self)

Have a wonderful week! Thank you for writing and sharing.
