Hello Marla. I think that is a great story. It has brought you closer to your mother and she is 83 years old. I spend almost 6 days a week part time with my mother and it is now my part time job along with music. It is a Gas, Gas, Gas, like Jumpin’ Jack Flash!! It is Grrrreat!! Like Sugar Frosted Flakes!!

Lots and Lots and Lots of Love!!!

Beautiful Marla,
What a gift you are with your truth seeking. Playing the Yes Game to the fullest! The transparency and healing you seek and offer, is surely solid ground for being a good ancestor. They breathe easier. Carry on Sister and know from the deepest ground of life itself that you are Love and you are Carrying the Emerging new story and offering it back to all of us to stand and tell our own stories, and to go deep, not hold back, but to go forth, be foolish, say yes, and listen deeply there are gifts with each step.
Love, your sister Kate

Blessed be. Marla, I can only guess your age… I’m reasonably sure that we’re only a few years apart. I’m delighted for you for taking the Fool’s journey & saying yes, yes, yes–for the sake of the ancestors & our children & our children’s children… & into the many generations beyond. I’m also thrilled for you–for your own healing journey & mending the world with your mom. What truer gift?

Blessings.

Dear Marla, thank you for sharing this very intimate and powerful story. I was enriched by the sharing and could see that while I may reject the patriarchy of my parents, I do not need the God who has nourished me over the years. More importantly, I do not need to reject the validity of their faith journey for me to celebrate mine. Thank you dear for speaking your truth out into the world so all of us can take in your loving words and let them nourish us.

Lovely. Healing. Growing.

I love the natural cycle of expansion that comes when we release what we know or have only to find a deeper, larger world waiting to greet us. Thanks for this great reminder to get out of the box of my own creation and “go with the grow” . . . .
