I am so touched by everyone's response. My original post was written when I was in one of those pensive moods of reflection. We all have things we do when we need to deal with some type of emotion...and writing is that for me. This community is filled with such sweet souls. There is no doubt in my mind that we've been pulled together from far and wide to learn and grow and accomplish something very important together. As we continue to connect and discuss and reflect, we'll help each other and perhaps pave the road a bit further for those who come after us. Mel is truly a pioneer in learning about and helping others to restore their health from toxic diseases. There are so very many aspects to these kinds of illnesses...and the emotional piece is a big one. Mel has provided this forum (and conference calls) for us to come together and learn more from one another, and I feel so blessed to be a part of this community. I look forward to more connection with my "family" of all of you. I reach out to you through my writing...though...I do know I tend to write really long posts. I sometimes imagine people stopping reading midway through one of my posts to jump up and grab some Sovereign Silver to put in their eyes. Lol...you'd think thoughts like this would slow me down...but...well...sometimes there is just so much to say! I'm a person who loves words. I'm from the South so the storytelling tradition runs deep within my heritage. I love someone to tell me a story, and I love to express myself by telling my own stories. Memories from my childhood...my very young childhood are intertwined with the sweet lull of voices telling stories...stories about the past...stories about today...what happened and how. Every day events were always wrapped in rich narrative and connected to the bigger picture of our life experiences. One of my earliest memories is being rocked on my grandmother's back screened porch in the evening after dinner. It was twilight...and everyone was lounging on the back porch to cool off since she did not have air conditioning. I could hear the clink of the ice in the sweet tea as it melted in the heat...the squeak of the chair...the soft laughing voices and felt the total security of being wrapped in love and tradition of story. One of my favorite storytellers (writers) is James Lee Burke. He writes crime novels, though ironically, that is my least favorite genre. I dislike violence so much that I keep my environment saturated in the kind of energy one might find in a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie. My favorite episode binge watches are things like "Downton Abbey," "Call the Midwife," "Anne with and 'e'"(which is a version of "Anne of Green Gables"), etc...you get the idea. I sometimes think I like things so sickeningly sweet, they'd hurt your teeth...but I digress. But back to James Lee Burke. I love his writing so much that I plow through the crime and violence parts just so I can read (or hear on Audible books) his prose. No one can touch my heart the way he does when he writes about the things God has put on this earth for us to enjoy. He describes nature, people, and situations with a perspective of such deep love and appreciation for life that it will instantly change one's perspective. I share these things because my original intent for this thread was to get some ideas rolling of things we could do to nourish our souls...to help support ourselves and others in ways that will shore up this part of our recovery. For some reason, when I wrote the original post on this thread, I veered off into my "story" of my own soul evolution with this disease to date...but maybe that was meant to be. Maybe that was a way to start this thought process for all of us. So...I deal with the soul damaging aspect of this disease by reaching out to all of you with my reflections, by writing, and by reading (listening) to something that touches my heart. I also love Netflix and Amazon Prime...and Youtube has enough on it to entertain me for the rest of my life. Anything we can do to move the energy away from the scary stuff is so very important. This disease seems to feed off of fear and despair. I think it loves cortisol almost as much as it does sugar. I love this quote from James Lee Burke so much that I've actually noted it before in a post a while back. It's about his perspective on his own contribution through his writing. Here it is... “God might choose fools and people who glow with neurosis for his partners in creation, but he doesn’t make mistakes.” I laugh every time I read that one because it so completely describes the human experience. We're here for a reason...we co-create with God to make the world a better place...we're not perfect, and we don't have to be...and there are no coincidences. That is so true for all of us...and a wonderful way to describe the journey we're all on. Those of us in this community have been called upon to take the soul growth up several notches, and I cannot help but believe that each of us is here for a very special reason. So...to pull it all together, this thread is about soul maintenance. Please use it to expand on this topic as it relates to you. Listen to the small voice within and know you are safe here to express the musings of your soul. We are all connected and your thoughts may be just the thing someone else needs to read at a certain moment in time to bring them some kind of relief...and to not feel so isolated. Please join in by these kinds of reflections and also by thinking of things that will nurture your soul and then share these ideas with the group. Having a "go to" list of things to do when it gets emotionally rough can only help us all. I look forward to reading all of your thoughts on this topic...so please...jump in! Love, Karen | |||
