Missing Everyone!

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend!  I just wanted to "check-in" to say that I think about you all so often.  I have tangible reminders of you all around me--whether it be the candle screensaver on my iPhone, Norma's feathers, the "I am Enough" bracelet from Debbie which I wear constantly, the pic Nat took of us all, the white shawl from Audrey that is on display in my lavender room....  The list goes on and all I need to do is see one of these items and remember that you are all with me!

Over the weekend I rented a documentary on Amazon called "I AM" that I thought was wonderful and would recommend for anyone that is interested.  The basic theme of the film is that ”We are all connected –  connected to each other and to everything around us."  The documentary was created by Tom Shadyac, the filmmaker behind comedies like Bruce Almighty, Ace Ventura and The Nutty Professor.  When Shadyac was badly injured in a biking accident, it rocked his world.  He suffered from post concussion syndrome and faced spending the rest of his life isolated from others and in a great deal of pain.  His suffering was so great that he welcomed death--and it was from this dark night of the soul that the film was born.  This film is very inspiring and touches on many different things.  It talks about the heart, not the brain, being the primary organ of human intelligence.  It underscores that human consciousness and emotions DO affect the physical world.  The film talks about how it is cooperation, NOT competition, that is the most fundamental principle of nature and that transformation and man's true power comes only when we work together in cooperation and sympathize with one another. And the message that he leaves us with is this:  “...The solution begins with a deeper transformation that must occur in each of us.  I AM isn’t as much about what you can do, as who you can be.  And from that transformation of being, action will naturally follow.”  I found it to be a great reminder and an empowering message for how to cope in our daily lives and in this troubled world.

Love and blessings to you all!  Nancy
