Mother, I turn to you for help
during these troubling times
so that I may always keep
my eyes on Beauty deep
and not on ugly slime.
Come to me and take my hand
bring Solace to my Soul
and Peace to my weary Heart
as my Spirit merges with Yours
so you and I again are ONE …
~~~~~~
Friends, I don’t know about you but I have really have been struggling this past week with all that has been transpiring here in the States. I as a Sensitive “feel” Energy and believe me what I have felt lately has been ugly, harsh, toxic, all to which has left me tossing and turning at night and so so very tired. It is if a huge rock has been overturned and all the slimy creepy crawly thingies that existed under this rock, now are exposed to the Light. Ouch!
Do I succumb to this Negative Energy or do I pull myself up and out, consciously closing as I do any entrance for it to rush through in order to get to me? Do I add to this pandemonium of fear or do I pull back, take control of me, and take my Peace back? You who know me, know I will not be sucked into the swirling dark no matter how strong that current is!
I’ll tell you just how I will do that very thing. I am taking my eyes from off the chaos and fear embroiling all around me in order to anchor myself once again in Peace, in Love, with every Intention of making Petals a Sanctuary for all of you who are world torn and weary. I will walk my talk, and I will not allow this massive explosion of Energy to knock me down in defeat! NO! I roar! NO! That means eyes off Twitter, eyes off Facebook, eyes off all news for my fragile spirit and sensitive BEing cannot and I mean cannot take any more.
I am not hiding my head in the sand. I am however taking a stand and that stand is what I have been saying here all along all this many years I have been on WP. I stand on Love, I stand on Peace, I stand on Truth, I stand on Beauty. I plan on taking many walks and hikes this week for it is Mother who shall heal my ravaged Soul. This is where I draw the line to regain my little world that beats to the Rhythm of Love.
And because it finally is snowing I shall bring my Therapist, my Canon 6D, along with me on those hikes and walks. But! Due to the above average temperatures Lake Erie is not frozen so we may be getting a lot of snow as in Lake Effect Snow Squalls. (Please no!) In that case nix the walks and hikes until I can get out to do so.
At this point I am not sure if comments will be open on all of my posts for the week. I am taking things by ear and as usual, fly by the seat of my pants. Either way know I am putting my every effort staying in Calm and keeping Balanced. And in doing so, I shall continue my Work here at my Petals to inspire and encourage you.
With Much Love,
AmyRose

Your lifestyle comes as an inspiration for me. How you choose not to participate in negative reactions reminds me that positive change is not initiated solely by the accumulation of panic, complaints or anger. I truly believe you have a better ability to keep peace when you can think clearly. Thank you for this post! Stay beautiful 😊 and I’ll keep trying as well

We must all keep in mind that when we act with the lower emotions (anger, fear, hatred, etc) we are only feeding like Energy thus increasing that Energy’s power. On the other hand when we choose to walk in Love, in Peace, in Truth no matter what we “see” around us, we feed the Most Powerful Energy of All which is Love. The more of us that walk in this Love the more we all will see changes made from Love and not from out of fear. You are very very welcome for this post and I also encourage you to focus on that which makes your Heart sing and your face smile. Peace and Much Love to you this day! ❤ ❤ ❤ (((HUGS))) ❤ ❤ ❤

I thought it prudent to make it very clear the concepts I am describing here are how I live my life. However IF anyone threatens to harm those I Love I would not hesitate to defend them. Yes I live my life in Peace but there too lives a Warrior within.

I can understand your anguish, your deep concern. I’ve been following US politics (among others) and I can see the pain and confusion and division and hatred recent events have caused. I don’t know if you can talk about these things and stay untouched by them, but I hope you do. Peace. 🙂

How can anyone not be untouched by all that is happening, Dr. Hb? Yet in order for me to survive, a Sensitive who feels to the core of her being, I practice dissociation. And in doing so I follow that up with filling my life with those things that bring me Peace and Happiness. Otherwise I would be overrun with these emotions literally sucking the life out of me. I have believed all my Life that Love is the answer and I am not about to change now. As I told someone else even though I choose Peace and walk it, IF anyone threatened me or those I Love there is a Warrior within ready to defend. I pray it does not come to that! Peace to you, dear friend. We all can do this! Love wins! ❤ ❤ ❤ (((HUGS))) ❤ ❤ ❤

You do not succumb to negative energy, Amy. I know you too well. Resistance is easy, because hate wants everyone to hate. Simply looking for beauty, looking for love and finding it all around us is resisting hate.

Hang in there, David. I know you too feel things deeply and are greatly effected by the overall status of the Whole. I dare say that today finally there is a lull, a settling down, and I shall build upon that by avoiding all sources of news and being outdoors as much as I can. Much Healing our Nation needs and as I find Solace in the Forest I send that out to the World at large. Peace today, dear friend. ❤

Beautifully said! Good for you Amy! I can’t stand all the nasty stuff on social medias about our new President. I don’t read it. I also have bigger fish to fry. I would rather spend my time looking at what is most important to me and right now it is my relationship with Jesus and the well-being of Cino (explained in my Sunday Pause (Paws) post. Not that the well-being of our country isn’t important, but it is what it is, no reason to get nasty about it. Pray and spread love, this is what we need to do! Hatred will get us nowhere.

LeeAnn, I have distanced myself from politics since a child because my Inner Guidance told me to. For the first time ever I let that wall down and believe me I won’t be doing that again. It was a Lesson for me and yes I did learn. I’m back on track, thank goodness! And I am SO grateful that the “Energy” that I was “processing” for the Whole is done. I don’t expect you to understand what I just said. (smile) Hatred will get us absolutely nowhere. Love IS the answer!! 🙂 ❤
