In the Aftermath

As you probably know, my friend passed last week and I've been a bit 'distracted'. Truth be told, I've had at least 6 friends die within 2 years -- some through accidents and the others through illness.

I truly believe this life is a precious opportunity to grow and develop the soul. It's a grand and glorious adventure. Each day we have the opportunity to share our joy, love and positive perspective.

The Lab/Counselors 'tool' from Silva gives me great comfort. Going to my lab I can invite in my loved ones and have a visit. Today I talked with Jozie. Some would say it's fantasy but I say it's imagination. Big difference! Call it what you will, it gives me peace.

Perhaps it works that way for you too. I'd love to hear your thoughts and stories.

Blessings...

Just received word that my dear sister-friend has left this physical life.

Now I'm crying like a baby. Yes, I know she's not really gone. Yes, I know she's no longer in pain. I'm not crying for her. I'm crying for me. I know I'll never get to hug her again, or laugh over some silly thing the cats have done, or go to see "Scrooge" (a Christmas tradition for us) or so many other things.

May she make an easy, quick transition to her next adventure...whatever that may be. Jozie, say Hi to Maggie and Bratt for me!

Blessings...Barbara

Where I've been

While I'm busy with social media and the coaching class and...so much...I apologize that this blog hasn't been higher on my 'list'.

In 1988 I met a lovely lady who became my sister-by-another-marriage. She is a dear person and missing her is one of the few things that cause me to miss KY. Last year she became ill and is currently in hospital...dying. It's grief to me that I cannot be with her...to hold her hand...do things for her...and let her know that I care deeply about her. I trust she knows these things already.

Using the lab/counselors I've stayed in touch and done healing work on her. It gives me a lot of comfort to do that.

Having lost other family and friends over the years, I'm reminded of how important it is to stay in touch, to say I love you, to hug and to have fun together.

Staying in touch applies to Silva Grads too. I feel that so many have become friends and I care a lot about them.

I'd love your thoughts about this.

Blessings....Barbara
