| Under An Orange Sky: The Expanding Paradigm
|
|
September 11, 2020
Oakland, CA

| | Our world is changing, there is no doubt about that. I acknowledge and bow to all the pain and suffering happening in the world. There is also hope, hope for something new, for something else to be born.
I would say that the dying and the being born is happening at the same time.
On Wednesday I woke up to an orange sky. The smoke had blocked out the sun. It looked like dusks at 9:30 in the morning, and stayed that way all day.
Night is day. Will day be night?
We have an opportunity to create new dreams, to be open to the unknown. In fact we have no choice.
I recently talked about this and more with author and Healing Touch Practitioner, Jeri Lawson, in an Author Q&A on my YouTube channel here.
We talked about the creative process, and what is was like for her to create this book.
She also shares about the healing work she does. Interviewing her was a healing for me — a call to be in the present and be with what is.
Take a listen and let us know what you get out of it.
Now is a good time to feel into how we are but a spark of light in a vast ocean of sparks, buoyed by the Great Unknown — this life force that courses through us. It is my way of feeling supported in this time of great change.
What about you? Where do you turn to for support? Can you ask for help from others? From your version of the Great Mystery, the Divine?
Hit reply and let me know or comment on the post here.
Good News I finished the revisions on my book and sent it to my beta readers early Monday morning. I feel like I have space again to step back from the book and consider final changes without needing to take action right away.
What's your good news this week?
Hit reply and let me know.
Instead of editing, I’m managing marketing and also getting ready for final stage: scheduling the proofreader, coordinating with the designer for the print edition; gathering notes from the beta readers for final-final changes to the book.
Upcoming Event
My friend Marie Bowser is leading a wonderful series of interviews, of which I am one, that launches on the Equinox, Sept. 22, “Live Your Magical Life”.
