2023 has been an extremely difficult year for my family. We have lost 2 young adults and almost a third to the combined affects of addiction (substance use disorder) and mental health illnesses. Additionally, my GrandKiddos’ lives have been turned inside out and upside down even more in 2023 as their Mom & Dad continue to struggle with these conditions. 

Fortunately, I am blessed with healthy faith, support and self-care. And yet…I’ve had moments of hanging onto my mental health by only a thread. My heart ❤️‍🩹 hasn’t hurt this deeply for a long time. I’m guessing many of you can relate to such periods in your lives. Fortunately, God’s Grace carries us through. 

My prayer 🙏🏻 is that we can open our hearts and minds beyond their current capacity to those affected by addiction (substance use disorder) and mental health conditions.  These are difficult and challenging undertakings for us as humans, as it reaches beyond our capacity to understand and control. For those directly affected by these conditions and their families and friends, it is so painful and baffling to be impacted by these dis-eases as they tend to touch us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. 

However; there is help out there to aide many of us in our healing and recovery, if we are able to access our humility and willingness. We have wonderful Local resources such as the Blair County Drug & Alcohol Program, NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), Community Action, Family Services, Hope Drop-In, Al-Anon, BALM (Be A Loving Mirror), Therapy Community, Families United For Change, and more. 

Please “Energetically” send your Prayers 🙏🏻, Love 💗, Light 🌞, & Healing ❤️‍🩹 Vibes to my Family; whichever ways resonate with you. It is all the same in my world. Please remember, as we pray for one, our prayers ripple through the Pond of Life to All . 

Under the current circumstances, I prefer to not receive written correspondences concerning my situation, as I will feel guilty about not having the wear-with-all to read and reply. I am Energetically aware and sensitive and will receive your heart’s caring grace. If you are at Yoga On the Beach 🏖️ Saturday, smiles and hugs are welcome 😉. 

I would like to apologize to those of you that I may not have returned phone calls, emails or messages. I’m learning that I have dropped quite a few balls in 2023. Please reach-out to me again. Your understanding and forgiveness are valued.
