Happy Friday Friends,

I hope you have had a wonderful week.

I am watching with remarkable faith in spirit

as

our friends Sandy and Stew

show us resiliency at its finest.

The work next door continues with most of the furniture now in the dumpster and the dumpster gone.

The soot smell is diminishing or

we are just getting used to it

but

the great news is that the house

is

secured

and windows are in there now

the doors are secured

and

soot is being removed

KILZ is being applied to the walls and the ceilings.

The greatest

news is

this:

Sandy and Stewart are not

Broken

their spirits are great

they are not

"woe is me"

nor

have they been

as they have moved from the initial shock of driving up as I did from being away on my speaking tour to a street closed by lights flashing and the smells and horror of their lovely home blackened

and violated in such a horrible way.

Not once have they

crawled into fetal position

and

taken to the

"why me or whatever will I do now without my recliner or our bed".

I admire their resiliency,

they have taught me much

and

one thing is certain,

we've talked a lot about the importance

of not

"saving best"

but using all now.

Why in the world "save the good china"

or

such things

for "best"?

We've now laughed as

Stewart enjoys each meal

and rates it every night in what has become the

"DLB hour of praise of her meals"

(rather sickening) haha

but the man does know how to enjoy

a great meal and give "props" where "props"

are deserved!

He has told us repeatedly that he tells Sandy to not work so fast next door cos' he is not wanting to leave here

since the meals are so soooo goood!

And on the other hand

just last night said,

"Here I sit, a man with three women in one house, now to think some would complain about losing almost everything to a fire... ME? I have NO complaints! Look at how I am living here, with three women, great food... I am doing great here!"

We do have great friends... and a horrible thing happened to them, to their sanctuary of their home.

BUT

they have not been lessened by it, they have not been stopped by this crime against them.

They have risen like the Phoenix from the ashes

and

the person(s) responsible

for this crime

will be caught, they will be... I do believe that.

But the lesson and the message for today

is

simply this:

When you look around

it is truly remarkable

the

resiliency of

the human spirit.

I am so very honored

to know and to love

Sandy and Stewart,

and to call them our friends.

We've walked many a mile in these three weeks

together; miles equal to years and years

together around this table

that time nor space will never separate

or take away.

ARSON

is an unforgivable sin.

Remember friends,

take out that China you have been saving for best, throw it on the table, put your hamburgers on there and use it today or this weekend.

Use your best everyday

BE your best every minute of every day

We have this day

to do and to be

all

that Creator gifted us with

to

also

DREAM in living color

><

Speaking of

dreams

EE and CJ

out there in Colorado are working the dream

and it is coming together...

Here is the link to her blog

what a wonderful read. 

Enjoy it,

subscribe to it, it will come right to your email, comment on it, and tell her you too are a warrior here on this page of 

gentle warriors

where 

FIRM has to remind us she is playing in the gulf everyday and snorkeling;

and

our beloved sing me A is hugging her angels while taking time to check in,

and

Joe is dancing on desks on a Monday

and

many who are anonymous

are loving us

and

Sandy in Michigan is being watched over by the hawk, her beloved husband

and

Chris is out there our breast CA Warrior

and

Tonya is in NC married now and happy as she can be; a two time CA survivor

and

Laura is still kicking MS butt and raising funds for the CURE here

and

the list goes on!!! 

http://workthedream.wordpress.com/

I am soon (next week) going to be shouting out for some help here

for EE in Colorado with a "scooter" issue

who has an electric scooter with a broken arm that "medicare will not pay to fix"

and it needs fixing to make her able to

"zoom zoom zoom"

across her new home-town there.

I'm sure we have some folks here who can make this happen.

STay tuned,

but know this:

WE ARE WARRIORS OF GENTLE SPIRIT HERE

and

dreams do come true

along with realities

of

strength in times of adversity

being bent rather than broken in times of heartache

and

survivers walk with dignity

and

from the

ashes the Phoenix Rises...
