To the Heart...with Love

She let go.
She let go. Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear.
She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the 'right' reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.
She didn't ask anyone for advice.
She didn't read a book on how to let go.
She didn't search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn't promise to let go.
She didn't journal about it.
She didn't write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn't check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn't analyze whether she should let go.
She didn't call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn't do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn't call the prayer line.
She didn't utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort.
There was no struggle.
It wasn't good and it wasn't bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore…

Fwd: The Investigation: A Search for the Truth in Ten Acts - June 24, 2019



Excellent presentation by actors in a live reading of the Mueller Report!  John Lithgow was superb as Trump.  All other actors did a great job in reading from the report, so we American voters could hear the truth, exactly as stated in Mueller's Report.  This presentation was given in front of a live audience on June 24 in New York.  Highly recommended if you want to hear the exact words of all involved, given in testimony to the Special Counsel.  Joel Grey spoke the words of Jeff Sessions with a southern accent -- and I could honestly see Sessions right there, instead of Joel Grey. Please view this video and judge for yourself.  It would be worth sending the link on to Trump voters if they had a real willingness to know the truth, but I can pretty well predict they would not watch it.

Two fascinating documentaries on Amazon PRIME


I watched two extremely interesting documentaries on Amazon Prime video today -- both of them free for Prime customers.  My dear Holland would have loved these.

Capturing the Light (only 45 minutes long, but I think it will hold your interest! About an ordinary housewife named Dorothy and what happened in her life that is beyond normal explanation).  And Newman, the story of an extraordinary man of science and his discovery that could have changed our world in magnificent ways--and why it hasn't.  I was riveted to both films, as there is no rational explanation to satisfy the mind for either one of the manifestations that take place in each story, yet they are real (admitted by researchers/scientists whose previous skepticism was blown away in each case, after viewing the matter for themselves), with strong proof that seemingly cannot be refuted.

The story of Joe Newman reminded me of the Coral Castle phenomenon in Florida, created by a little man named Ed Leedskalnin  (scientifically minded folks, see http://www.leedskalnin.com/) -- and also of Nikola Tesla.  Newman's story brings to humanity's attention, proven magnetic energy and perpetual motion that flies in the face of physics as we have known it up until this time. And also the human faults, failings, and tendencies that so often come in and muddle up the best of plans and promises.  Fascinating and highly recommended!  You will come away from the viewing with a sense of wonder -- and maybe sadness, too.  We humans always seem to be our own worst enemies.

This short video shows why Elizabeth Warren should be President! GOD BLESS HER!!!

This video should be viewed by everyone not sure which Democratic candidate they would like to have as President.  View it for yourself and see why I am Voting for Elizabeth.


Here's a short excerpt from that article to whet your appetite to learn more about Elizabeth and her ability to be a great President for all of us. She has clear, significant, well-defined plans to reverse course from the disastrous Trump and Cheney/Bush years.  If you are planning to contribute to any of the campaigns, please consider Elizabeth. She deserves to be at the top of our list. We also need a Democratic House and Senate!!!  If you agree, please pass this information along.  To turn the tide from Trump, we need all the help we can get.

EXCERPT:   On September 20, 2016, John Stumpf, the C.E.O. of Wells Fargo, appeared before the Senate Banking Committee to defend his company's role in one of the biggest financial scandals in recent memory. Wells Fargo employees, who were under pressure from senior management to meet overly aggressive sales targets, had opened more than two million bank and credit-card accounts for customers who had never asked for them.

The tone of the questioning was initially courteous. Then Elizabeth Warren spoke. Peering over her glasses, she launched into a series of questions so scathing that the Senate chamber fell silent. "Since this massive, years-long scam came to light, you have said repeatedly, 'I am accountable,' " Warren said to Stumpf. "But what have you actually done to hold yourself accountable? Have you resigned as C.E.O. or chairman of Wells Fargo? . . . Have you returned one nickel of the millions of dollars that you were paid while this scam was going on?"

Warren pressed Stumpf on whether he had fired any senior executives over the revelations (he hadn't); paraphrased his comments, on an earnings call, about how lucrative the sales-quota strategy had been; and asked him to tell the audience how much money he had made personally as the company's share price shot up during the years of the fraud. When Stumpf declined to answer, Warren supplied the number: two hundred million dollars.

"A cashier who steals a handful of twenties is held accountable, but Wall Street executives almost never hold themselves accountable," Warren said. "Not now, and not in 2008, when they crushed the worldwide economy. The only way that Wall Street will change is if executives face jail time when they preside over massive frauds." She declared that Stumpf should be criminally investigated, accusing him of "gutless leadership."

A video of the exchange, posted on YouTube, became a sensation. One news site called it an "epic takedown"; another described Warren "verbally destroying" Stumpf. In May, when I met Warren on the campaign trail, she told me that she was "furious" as she went into the hearing. "He was building a business model for a huge financial institution that was built on knowingly cheating people," she said. "I figured that he deserved every punch he got."

The episode was a pointed demonstration of Warren's ability to tap into public anger about economic unfairness. Warren is one of the country's foremost critics of Wall Street firms and big banks, which make much of their profit, in her view, by abusing consumers and taxpayers. It's a perspective that has grown out of Warren's work as an academic and has shaped her ideas as a politician, propelling her from Harvard Law School, where she was a professor specializing in bankruptcy law, to the Senate, where she has represented Massachusetts since 2013

On many economic issues, Warren has been remarkably prescient. She has spent decades warning Americans about the pernicious effects of income inequality, predatory corporations, and consumer debt, and about the failures of our financial system—issues that are at the heart of the 2020 Presidential campaign.

Sound of rain and "Pink noise" for aiding sleep and calming anxiety


On the following link, it is explained how the sound of rain is calming to most people -- and something called "pink noise" (a combination of high and low frequencies) is better for encouraging sleep and covering over unwanted sounds than white noise. Pink noise sounds a lot like falling water.  The link contains another link within itself for 10 hours of pink noise.  Click on it to hear a sample of how it is different from white noise.  I play a CD of the sound of rain every night when I go to bed -- have been doing this for years.  It helps me to drift off easily and quickly.  In this era of Trump, I wouldn't be surprised if most people need peaceful sounds like this to calm down their minds after being bombarded with the news of the day.

Please watch!!! Jon Stewart gives INCREDIBLY TOUCHING, INSPIRING SPEECH TO CONGRESS

Jon Stewart's speech is BEYOND GREAT -- he is calling out the rank hypocrisy and callous indifference (to the 9/11 first responders) of this terrible Congress and presidential administration.  His speech should be immortalized in history! I want HIM to run for President!  I defy anyone to watch this plea from Jon, without crying along with him.  Every member of Congress and the presidential disaster in the White House should be tied down to their chairs and made to listen to this plea 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!

Peaceful Chinese Lady -- living in close relation to nature - so relaxing to watch

My daughter Jeanie and granddaughter Isabella watch this youtube site and told me about it. It shows a peaceful Chinese lady going through her daily life, picking and preparing foods from her garden and just living a natural life.  It is very relaxing to watch and makes me realize how far we have drifted from a natural way of living in our world.  Today, I learned from her all about green plums and the many ways they can be used and cooked.  Just watching her pick and prepare them probably lowered my heart rate and blood pressure, much better than any pharmaceutical drug could do -- so necessary for all of us in this hectic chaotic age of Trump.  The woman's name is Li ziqi.  I am grateful to her for providing a peaceful and balanced alternative to the daily news.  😊
