Thank you, so glad you could be by Shirley's side as she passed to her next life. I'm sure with sadness and also relief in knowing this is her time and what she wanted. A blessing to be with her at that time, to feel her peace. Love

"The intention to go back with more love that we came here with" (I paraphrased that a little!), this is beautiful.

Marilyn what a story this is, thank you for sharing! I was on the edge of my seat reading about you getting the phone call about your birth family. I also found it interesting that you came to higher consciousness and all that comes with it later in your life. Have you written about the trigger that shifted your way of thinking, was there one specific thing? If so, can you direct me to that article? I'd love to read it.

What a beautiful article and story. Thank you for sharing it. I think of it a bit differently - the older I get, the more I have to learn - which is exciting and challenging for this lifelong learner.

Thanks Janice - I agree about continuing to learn and by remaining curious about what crosses my path I find myself being provided with a multitude of opportunities to take a pause and reflect a little.

Thanks Gayle and yes to all you wrote. I also think that being able to recognize, both the grief and the gratitude, at the same time left the three of us with our sense of peacefulness. xo

Thanks for the kind words Donna. I truly can't equate my change in thinking to just one "trigger". Perhaps because of finding myself in what I refer to as this "fourth quarter" of my life I just more clearly see what an incredible bucket of "experiences and opportunities to make changes" has been presented to me over the years. I HAVE undertaken to "practice taking a pause" on a pretty consistent basis. That of course ties in directly to my insistence that we are all, in any given moment, "Perfectly on Time" :-)
