Hey, Susan,
I’m so glad to see you here! The forums are a new thing, so it’ll be a slow start as people sign up and get comfortable with the new medium, but I’m glad we have this safe place to keep in touch. Thanks so much for being here!

Sorry, Katrina, but you’re violating an important forum rule. You have to be kind to my forum friends, and that starts with being kind to yourself. If I could impose a sanction for calling yourself a lazy speck, I would say that you must do something nice for yourself immediately. I wonder what that might be? An afternoon nap? A nice night dinner with your family? Permission to create or do something fun? I’d love to hear what you decide to do to honor the wonderful person you are.

Thanks for posting, Ryley! I’m so glad you’re here. I know it’s a bit slow since we’re only just now getting started and only a handful of people have had the opportunity to post. But I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone and having a lot of interesting conversations! TTYS!

Katrina, you are so right. Death can have its own beauty. I felt so honored to be present when my sister transitioned. We had plenty of snags and pitfalls to navigate (the hospice company was dreadfully incompetent every step of the way). But because my nieces and I were focused on her instead of ourselves, we were able to give my sister the emotional support she needed, and in return, she was able to share her experience with us in a positive, uplifting way. It truly was an incredible gift.

I have no idea what happened! As I understand it, forum messages don’t have to be approved, because only forum members can post. I’ll ask my website guru to check into it and see if she can find a message board purgatory that isn’t obvious to me.

@Katrina, sometimes I am lazy, for sure. I get a lot done in spite of it, but I think I get lazy because my body/mind/spirit are seeking balance, and when I push too hard and accomplish too much without giving myself enough time to rest and recharge, laziness results. I think that we are all specks in the primordial soup that are trying to survive until we make it to land. And if we wear ourselves out swimming without learning to roll to our backs and float a while, we’ll never make it.
