Today’s offering was greatly appreciated and poignant. Yesterday I was so exhausted from working on people’s bodies (massage) and mind trash, I simply sat numb for hours on the sofa. I ended up scrolling for hours. By 7 pm, I was a hot mess, with tears in my eyes. I was scared and exhausted from all that’s happened and ahead.

As I went to bed I read some in Thich Nhat Hanh’s, “Being Peace.” Calmed down, I snuggled in and drifted away thinking, “Tomorrow’s Wizard Wrap Up and Week Ahead. I’ll be ok. I’ll get my mojo going again, go for a hike, and start more of my seeds for the garden.

Whew!! You set me on course every Sunday. It’s not an easy path ahead, yet with you as astrological newscaster and heart therapist, I’m back on track. Courage, open heart and onward we go…♥️ Wiz, you are a treasure.

I hear you on the bodywork practice! I work 2 days a week as an RN, and do massage/MFR one day at week and a few evenings.

People are needing a safe place so much and they are bringing more and more of their emotional residue along. It’s a lot.

And I’m finding at a time when you would think people would be watching their wallets, I am far busier than I want to be with my practice and people are wanting to come more often!

So I struggle with protecting my body and energy and 62 and holding space for all those in need.

I hope you have the very best restful Sunday!

Tara, I’m pleased to hear from you. I’m busier than ever as well and working mostly full time at 75!! I also teach Tai Chi Chih where most students are patients of mine. At least I have this to calm us and ground us. I also have 50 plus Amish people who come regularly. They know how to live simply and enjoy their work and family so this grounds me too. They always bring me food to share and they warm my heart and stomach!

As Wiz says, people doing the work we’re doing are going to be needed and supported during this transition. I’ve always told people my plan is to live to 120, so just maybe, I’ll get to witness the new world 🤷‍♀️

Stay in touch and I’m going to do my best to not read on Substack except what is uplifting, best I’m able 🥰.

Enjoy your Sunday as well 💫🦜

All of this is very interesting and I’ve no doubt that we’re watching the old world ending. But what about the natural resources needed to make all the solar panels we’ll need?

Thank you! I can ride with this.

A couple thoughts: (and I say thought with a chuckle as trying to move out of my mind so let’s say OBSERVATIONS!)

First, I have found I am not thinking as sharply or quickly lately. Not in a fog sort of way but for example, in multitasking in my nursing work, I’m not finding the words as quickly. Of course, I began to worry that I have the first symptoms of dementia or early onset Alzheimer’s, but I actually feel it is a sign to slow down. Focus on one thing at a time.

Secondly, I have for decades now talked to people and made posts about, and taught in my “yoga and hikes” that we do not exist separate from the this planet. That we are part of this ecosystem and our health and well being is intricately connected to the health and well being of the planet. That the Earth is NOT a resource to be used but a gift to protected.

So I will welcome, the dissolving of the age of oil—whatever the consequences to me personally.

(But please, please, please, universe, can I still get to my favorite mountain biking trails. That is where my solace and renewal lives. I know, I am ENTIRELY to attached to it.)

I’d like to encourage you to not promote that AI bot, ask Arion. It’s powered by Open AI which is a very problematic company and is heavily involved in the “old world” order you write about. If you discover something similar that is by another company, I’d love to see it.

JusticeAI just switched to Claude. Perhaps that is one to explore.

I have noticed askarion, as configured, keeps pushing me to monetize everything. That's not where I am in life.

You didn’t mention Cuba. Is it a lesson or more of a punishment? I hope they have some solar and wind energy. Our government is just straight killing their people.

Sometimes I skim the comments and skip or read the post. Now I am curious to read it.
