SUNDAY MORNING DECEMBER 12TH

Good Morning The fire is burning brightly, its embers are hot... the air is filling with sage and cedar ~ ~ ~

This evening,

folks will gather across our vast globe at 7pm

they will come together, some for the first time

some as many times before.

They will embrace each other

in painful loveliness

and

all will stand as one

REMEMBERING THE CHILDREN.

Join them,

lighting your candles

your time

at 7pm

Remembering the Children

and

filling the night with a light

to assist all

in lighting the way

for

HOPE

through the vision

and reminder

that there is

HOPE

and light

during the darkest of times

in knowing

"there is no distance"

There is no distance

as hearts connected in love

are always connected here and in the Next Place.

We Remember through connections

Understanding of each other,

with hope in healing along the journey.

Sharing Without ... Fear, Shame....Condition...

A tree in

Palm Harbor Florida

with a Plaque

in the ground

surround a beautiful Magnolia Tree

that was planted to

remember

LANDON

with a ring of flowers

by a loving neighbor

REMEMBERING A CHILD

Landon Korabek

the teenage son

of

Susan and Greg Korabek

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdB-8eLEW8g

Susan and Greg walk past that tree each day

filled with memories, with HOPE, with the knowing they have such great friends to walk this journey with them,

under the sky knowing

"there is no distance"

Landon is there!

Good morning morning

coffee is hot, as I sit and enjoy this morning and filled with amazing grace at the resiliency of the

human spirit.

December 12

people across the globe are preparing, are readying themselves for the annual

Compassionate Friends

world-wide gatherings

where they will gather to share

their children with others,

without

FEAR

without

Shame

without

Condition

They will step out of their comfort zones, while across time zones, they will gather.

Collectively the world will light their candles and

Remember the child

all

gone too soon.

Those who have never walked this path,

will also light a candle and

Remember the Children

and

Will offer their thoughts

for those who have.

They will send prayers and thoughts to the parents, the grandparents, friends, and siblings

while uniting in what is thought to be the largest mass

candle lighting across our globe,

giving

HOPE

and light of healing ways.

There will be memories shared,

there will be the feelings that our children are right there in the room with us

Sunday night, their presence will be felt.

We will have and will hear stories of messengers that brought signs to us that they are still with us

since their death.

We will hear words spoken,

perhaps there will be a word, a poem,

something that is said

that will bring comfort.

It may be that something just

"clicks"

and healing happens as a candle is lit.

HOPE

is there if only we are open to receive it.

There will be opportunities to meet others who

"get it", who "understand" the road that has been traveled and who have moccasins with similar holes in their souls of walking such painful and unfamiliar paths known as grief.

Robyn Elizabeth Hover

Baby girl of

Chris and Rowena Hover

Sunday Dec 12

when the candles are lit

in New Port Richey

there will be a remarkable slide show

of all the children shown

of those that are there,

we will see the precious children

all ages, and be with those who loved them.

This slide show is put together by a parent and

member of the Compassionate Friends

and wonderful Mom, and woman

Diane ( always look forward to those hugs each year).

ALL

precious children

GONE TOO SOON

All ages, all causes of death, all

GONE TOO SOON

All will gather across this vast globe

lighting their candles

at

7pm (sharp) as the lights of the world

light up the night

Remembering the children

and

Light the night and the day

for our children

the worlds children

and those who love them

with the warmth, and light of

HOPE and the vision to see through the

pain of loss.

Jaren Gasse

the beloved daughter

of

Jim and Andrea Gasse

"gone too soon"

Jaren is still here, in each butterfly that lights on her Mom and Dad from out of nowhere, each dolphin that shows up on Honeymoon Island within inches of her Mom's face,

often in ways unimagined!

"There is no distance"

if and when we are ready to receive

the gifts of their presence from the

next place!

HOPE in a different light.

Blessings to the Kelley family, I want you to know

I know others on the Lily page are facing difficult health problems now, some of end of life care/decisions and just want to let you know... YOU are never alone,

you are surrounded by those who care, those who walk beside you, some silently, but many who are there as you transition

HOPE into a different light.

Many blessings along your journey

in peace.

Blessings to you all.

OOOO, OPRAH and Barbra WEre Great Last Night Too!

AROUND THE GLOBE

DECEMBER 12

7PM

Remembering The Children

Brrr, it's cold out there this morning, as I sit here and listen to the sound of "my" heat running this morning

in the "sunshine state".

Good morning early early this morning.

Coffee already poured, and it's quite good

so early this morning indeed!

Wow, Oprah and Barbra Walters last night~

once again right after me writing about Oprah!

See there is a connection here that

Oprah just hasn't connected with yet~

 LOL

OPRAH BABE, I'm here...

your next show for OWN [pick me, pick me]

do I have some real peeps to talk with on

a show too.

Warriors I tell you; real life warriors, the ones you spoke of last night too.

Warriors who have walked paths kin to that one you showed us back there in the old days;

Warriors from the city,from the paths of loss and grief

from the darkness into the lights

of real life too.

"When I look into the future it is so bright it burns my eyes" Oprah

Now there's yet one more thing O and I agree on!

Sure wish she would open a school for our kids here

in the USA that would outshine the sun, cos' she sure has lit up a lot of kids in Africa hasn't she?!

She has indeed done some remarkable things,

and I think it marvelous that once she

caught hell for saying she always thought

she was

destined for "great things".

I so agree with Oprah, on her comments about her bestest friend Gayle King, and was moved to tears to hear her describe what Gayle means to her. I too am blessed with that best friend of a lifetime.

And to think,

once she said she wanted to be

"Ba-Ba Walters" only to be first interviewed by her

and then after 25 years

an outrageous career, and now a

"new OWN beginning"

to have it all talked about once again

by none other

than the legend herself

Ms Walters herself!

Oprah talked about what moves her, the rumors she deals with, the heartaches, the people, the fame, the "giveaways" her life...

Her mantra/prayer:

"Keep on Using me, til' you use me up"

I sort of feel that way myself,

at the end of my life, I hope to have used all that the Creator has blessed me with, all that has been given by those I have been honored to walk with to work with.

Prayer, song, mantras

find yours, make it your daily way, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3hBYTkI-sE&feature=related

Oprah, Oprah, Oprah,

Healing Heartaches

read it

and take a stand for it to be on your

"list"

tell em!

I had a restless and right down awful night last night.

My thoughts were many, my prayer bowl was fill

for those in need right now.

Many are in pain this month; many are sick, some are grieving major losses.

While others are facing end of life

and gathering with families and friends for the last of Decembers together.

A time of painful-loveliness as they

try to say all the things that they want to say,

ask all the questions and receive all the answers

so that they will be certain they do it, say it, be it.

Take care of all the things and not have to look back and wonder if they covered it.

Not have to wonder if they left anything out.

Folks are getting ready for the

World Wide Candle lighting on Sunday

with

The Compassionate Friends

on Sunday at 7p

when the flames from the candles will light

the globe, at 7pm locally across the world.

The visuals in our hearts and minds are heightened.

The energy of that night is beginning to peak.

Emotions are running high

as memories flood the senses

and missing loved ones is at an all time high as well.

WE

love deeply,ache deeply, and have a wonderful

opportunity to re-establish our faith our love of mankind

animals

and life this month in the holiday spirit

that can sustain and maintain our hearts throughout the year.

If we choose it.

The reality is

some will choose to embrace love and some will not.

Some will find reasons to bicker and fight and be ugly to one another even within family systems. Wasting time and energy on pettiness and stupid issues. Wrapping themselves in the cloak of darkness, rather than embracing the lights, even when knowing that we have

TODAY... we have the

right here and right now.

There are those who have become so good at being and acting "bitter and ugly" that it is an art form to them, they see nothing wrong with it~ they affect others in a New York minute and then cast blame on others for their reactions. Go figure. Who suffers? Everyone!

If they do not figure out that if you cannot effectively cannot assist in the change of another's behavior,  you might as well just change

 "your reactions to it" and move on.

Each person is responsible for their own actions, their own paths. We can only govern and accept responsibility for our actions, and our reactions.

We can choose wisely or unwisely for only ourselves.

We can take a stand for what we believe in.

We can choose to embrace the light.

We can pretend to not make a choice,

but in not making a choice

we in fact are making a choice,

for to do nothing

is choosing as well.

AS

for the kids,

who is loving and making the kids feel special today?

Who is hearing the

"I sure hope "I get this, and I get to go there and here

and see this and that for the holidays"

LOL

Love them well, teach them well,

enjoy them much~!

Borrow some of their passion and their zest

for the holidays if yours seems to be less

than brilliant and that of "awe"!

So how bout it?

Let's get out there today

with an attitude of

tremendous gratitude

and

prayers for those

who may be facing

difficult decisions,

may be grieving impending losses

or

the journey of grief

or

struggles today.

Let's get out there

and

OUTSHINE THE SUN

just because you can

choose to do it~

We here are warriors,

with compassion and kindness.

It just doesn't get any better than that ~

and

Oprah... have your people call my people~

The fire is burning brightly, the sage and cedar are filling the morning sky with prayers on the winds to those

out there,

and

HOPE for the holidays to all.

Walk In Beauty,

We can, as Oprah stated last night on television, embrace prayer, through songs, through mantras, through traditional sayings or ways.

I really liked it when she said,

I want and ask daily that God

"Use me UP" in this life, "just keep on using me, til' you use me up", remember that song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyhO8dJHc_o
