Wake up: Meditation for Ukraine

Let's raise our vibration, spread love. It is stronger than fear. Where our energy goes, our life flows. I imagine those who've been asleep, misinformed, in a slumber, wake up and see clearly! And the truth sets them free. Spread love! https://youtu.be/vGul31nH8XI

Pandemic Ponderings

When you feel unlovable it hits you like a sledge hammer knocking you to the ground. You instantly connect and remember every time you felt rejected, abandoned, left behind, ignored.
