Happy Canada Day, our UB. Xxx 🍁Thank you for your kind energy and words about my writing. I have an op. booked at the end of August to remove the stubborn roots. I am debating on a few implants...I may just learn to live with the gaps, as I've had enough. Much love to you, always. Xxx 🩷🦄😘🩷

I am relieved to read dear Jane that you found a suitable Dentist that has helped alleviate your problem.. Dentists are not the best of places at the Best of times.. So finding one you trust is a huge bonus, and I am pleased to know that your ordeal is over and pray it remains so.

Reading through your written words Jane, they act as reminders to me, that I still have some work in progress to do regarding ' Letting Go'.. As much as I think I have navigated and cleared out the debris from within, I found myself the other day along with my sister, rehashing our childhood wounds..

It was my hubby who rolled his eyes as if to say you still haven't let that childhood wounding go. And it is something I seriously need to work upon... So your 'Old Stories' jumped out at me as another reminder from you and Spirit that this is an area still in need of cleansing out.

I know my sister holds these memories even deeper than I.... I am hoping that as we talked together about our childhood experiences, we can help each other clear, cleanse, and let go... As we move through these changing times of deep inner healing..

I hear you on the going quiet, and making excuses for others actions.. I feel we are now coming to a time of closure, whereby we have to speak our truth, as we release and heal. It is never going to be easy., but we are expanding in the art of 'Letting Go'

And as you so rightly say.. Nature is our greatest teacher, as she sheds her leaves and allows herself to rest during the season of Winter, so she will not break under the burden of weight the trees carry throughout those winter storms... So too, must we learn to shed the weight we carry,

Many thanks dearest Jane, for your wisdom and insights....

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead...

Much love Sue xx ✨💖🙏

Dearest Sue, I feel for you and your sister. It can come as a shock to see how deep these wounds go and how many layers there are to be released, cleansed, and healed. My love to you both. You are not alone in this happening. 🩷

Your words on the time being here for us to speak aloud about some of our choices resonated with me. It isn't easy, as we naturally wish to be kind and not cause others any distress, yet some things need to be aired. Each of us is responsible for our well-being, and it's a work in progress as we carry the unfolding from the choices we have made. Some things are not ours to carry. We are being faced with some hard choices. Realities which keep circling back, so we can break free of the load they bring. 🩷

We wish you, your two B's and your sister a good week ahead.

Much love and hugs, always. Xxx 🩷🤗🩷✨🦋

Thank you Jane,

I appreciate your wisdom and kind words my friend.

We are all of us upon a journey of discovery. The most important being the discovery of ourselves.

I may go silent for a short while,on the Internet.

I'm fine, but others need my energy right now.

Including little Biscuit. Who is having his own teeth problems, he is to have an operation tomorrow.

Prayers appreciated. With much love and gratitude. Xx ❤️

Hi Jane, I hope your teeth issues are behind you now. I've never had a bad experience in the dentist chair, but I fear each ordinary cleaning. I'd rather give birth! LOL So I empathize with you. As to letting go, it's never been easy for me. I'm a work in progress. Even getting older doesn't make it easier. Take good care, my friend, and I'm sending healing hugs and much love your way. xoxoxoxoxo

Dearest Lauren, thank you. 😘 My teeth issue is still rolling, and they will get sorted. Letting go is still a work in progress for me too, but I am learning. I hope your tinnitus is easing? Huge hugs for you, and much love to you and Matt. We hope you're having a lovely weekend. Xxx 😘❤️✨️

Oh Darlene, that's tough, my lovely, as our hearts carry the connection. Being faced with silence, resolution is unavailable. I've been faced with this, and I've held a conversation in my heart and wished her well and said Goodbye. It's a grief. Much love to you. Xx 🩷

Letting go is not something I do easily. Just today, I thought of a friend who stopped being my friend suddenly. I can't help thinking I did something wrong, but am not sure what. Since she refuses to communicate with me, I am unable to ask her. I need to let it go. I hope your teeth issues have been resolved. xo

Well said Jane! I am just now learning to let go of some things from 10 years past. However, there are some lessons I learned from those events which I'll carry forward. Things which dramatically changed how willing I will be to invest in certain others.

You are so right, H. The lessons are nestled within and those we can choose to carry forward. It is the time when blinkers are being ripped off. Much love to you, and here's wishing you a lovely weekend. Xxx ❤️

I always love how you write…there is a sweet simplicity in your style, with profound truths delivered at the same time! Yes, letting go applies to so much…it makes space for the ‘new’ and as yet ‘unknown’ too, which is exciting!

I like all the analogies you use of "letting go" in this piece, Jane. I've often said that adults could take a lesson from younger children about letting go. Of course, they have disagreements and arguments that occasionally turn physical. Yet, one thing kids do exceptionally well is let go rather than hold grudges and refrain from speaking to each other the way adults can sometimes do for years. Ultimately, kids just want to be friends and can get past their disputes. Unfortunately, this behavior changes around the time of puberty, especially among sixth-grade girls.

I hope that by the time you read this, many of the issues with your teeth are relieved.

A wise reply, Pete. Children have the wonderful ability to stay in the moment and travel light. It does change at puberty. You have witnessed this over many years. Thank you for your thoughtful contribution. Much love to you and Debbie, and we wish you both a lovely weekend. Xxx ❤️

Hello, lovely Clare, I was just thinking of you. I tried the chilli/pepper tip on the bird food. The birds avoided it, and the squirrels cleared the feeder. 😂 On we go... Much love to you all from us both. Xxx ❤️

I'm so glad your teeth are fixed. If there is any place I never want to be, it is the dentist's chair. Your message about letting go is one I learned later in life. Holding on to resentments or hurts does nothing for well-being. Wishing you and Tim a peaceful weekend.

Every time I read your posts I am reminded how much alike we are in temperament. Our biggest difference is that you express it so much more eloquently. Have a wonderful, love-filled weekend!
