Jeffrey & Poppy walk the Beach

I’ll walk with you
Footprints in the Sand
And helped me understand
Where I’m going

Love transcends through the nurturing of our future sons and daughters.
In this case, I chose my grandson who will one day be the voice that may change the world.
Where there is LOVE there is hope.
Teach your children well …
Isadora
For my grandson, Jeffrey. He gives unconditional LOVE …

And, burn brightly with love and clarity.

This is a repost as I thought …
Preacher Michael Curry spoke a touching sermon about LOVE and its healing powers
to Prince Harry and Meghan at the royal wedding.
I thought it might be inspiring to listen to if you missed it.

I honor the place in you
in which the entire universe dwells.
I honor the place in you
which is of Love, and of Truth,
of Light and of Peace.
When you are in that place in you
and I am in that place in me.
We are One.

Life is a journey full of many beautiful scenes;
I, the soul, come to …
Don’t pretend. Be who you are. You are special.
We all have a light inside, let it shine.

Song – I Am Light
I am light, I am light
I am light, I am light
I am light,
I am not the things my family did
I am not the voices in my head
I am not the pieces of the brokenness inside
I am light, I am light
I am light, I am light
I am light
I’m not the mistakes that I have made
or any of the things that caused me pain
I am not the pieces of the dream I left behind
I am light, I am light
I am light, I am light
I am light
I am not the color of my eyes
I am not the skin on the outside
I am not my age, I am not my race,
my soul inside is all light
All light, all light
I am light
I am light, I am light
I am light
I am divinity defined
I am the God on the inside
I am a star, a piece of it all
I am light

Nurturing Thursday
“Time is Now: Rural and urban activists transforming women’s lives” is the theme International Women’s Day, March 8, 2018.
This year, International Women’s Day comes on the heels of unprecedented global movement for women’s rights, equality and justice.
Sexual harassment, violence and discrimination against women has captured headlines and public discourse, propelled by a rising determination for change.
International Women’s Day 2018 is an opportunity to transform this momentum into action, to empower women in all settings, rural and urban, and celebrate the activists who are working relentlessly to claim women’s rights and realize their full potential.2018©unwomen
Violence against women and girls is continuing to happen everyday all over the world. We must continue to fight for all women to be treated with respect and equality. International Women’s Day focuses on ending violence against women and empowering them.

***** One Woman – A Song for UN Women: https://ganxy.com/checkout
This song has a timeless feel. It’s from the movie ‘Mudbound’
staring Mary J.Blige. She’s been nominated for Best Supporting actress
and for this original song. It’s a powerful movie saying a great deal.
It’s seems apropos for what we’re going through in our world today.
Enjoy …. Isadora
Mighty River – Lyrics©Mary J. Blige
Life is a teacher, time is a healer
And I’m a believer like a river wild
Ego’s a killer, greed is a monster
But love is stronger, stronger than them all
White flag in hand, I don’t wanna fight
No lines in the sand, I’m on your side
Invisible, no colour life
It’s time we put our, put our, put our differences aside
Time tells no lies
It keeps changing, and ticking, and moving, then passes by
But if you’re lucky, it will be kind
Like a river flowing through time
(Like a river) let it wash you clean
(Mighty river) going up stream
(Like a river) cutting through right
(Mighty river) ’cause it never gives up
(Like a river) so full of life
(Mighty river) liquid like time
(Like a river) let it wash away
(Mighty river) the pain from yesterday
~~~~~
Love is the answer, hate is a cancer
Hope of forgiveness, it waters the soul
Our blood is red, we’re not so different
‘Cause underneath our skin we’re identical
White flag in hand, we’re not gonna fight
No lines in the sand, I’m on your side
Invisible, no colour life, oh
It’s time we put our, oh, put our differences aside
We know wrong from right
Oh, time tells no lies
He keeps changing, and ticking, and moving, then passes by
But if you’re lucky, it will be kind
Oh, like a river flowing through time, oh
~~~~~
(Like a river) let it wash you clean
(Mighty river) going up stream
(Like a river) cutting through right
(Mighty river) ’cause it never gives up
(Like a river) so full of life
(Mighty river) liquid like time
(Like a river) let it wash away
(Mighty river) the pain from yesterday
(Like a river) oh, oh, oh
(Mighty river) rain down on me
(Like a river) all it takes is time
(Mighty river) to heal this bloodline
(Like a river) better wash me clean
(Mighty river) get this dirt off of me, yeah
(Like a river) oh, oh, oh
(Mighty river) let it wash the pain
Oh, oh, oh yeah
(Like a river) oh, like a river
(Mighty river) mighty and better river
(Like a river) oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Mighty river) let it wash away
(Like a river) oh, oh, oh
(Mighty river) oh, all the hurt and pain
(Like a river) oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Mighty river) oh mighty river, mighty river

I think this song is perfect for our recent
viewing of the Blue Moon.

Compassion and forgiveness are the little mercies
we need to develop while walking through our paths of nurturing.
Recently, I read a book called Little Mercies. It’s the journey of a small child who experiences a great many trials at a very tender age when most children are enjoying and innocently playing with friends and toys. The quote is from the book by Heather Gundenkauf. This child’s social worker is faced with an unspeakable tragedy she’s unable to cope with. Her mother tries to comfort her with these words.
Throughout our lives we’re faced with tragedies far greater than we ever could imagine living or coping with. Somehow, we find a strength deep inside that wraps its arms around us to help us manage to place one foot in front of the other.
All of the painful layers we’ve carefully peeled away, have helped us get attuned with our emotional selves.
We must never stop writing our own story of little mercies. It helps us to be present.
It’s a gift we give to our nurturing selves.
In Love and Light,
Isadora 🙏

Because of our daily stress filled lives, especially during the hectic holiday festivities, we need to create a quietly calm and peacefully still place where we can feel tranquil serenity.
Our imagination can help us with this very difficult task of relaxing by providing us with the ability to dream of magical places. I love to imagine a garden of flowers filled with every imaginable color and shape. It’s an image that can make anyone smile.
What about a snow covered mountain or forest? Snow blankets on the slumbering earth. The sun sparkling on the hanging icicles of a cold winters day.
Peaceful thoughts of hearts filled with quiet calm because we could all be one. No labels, no issues, no hostility, no anger. Just wonderful love for all no matter who they may be.
Nurturing yourself at the end of a day helps you achieve an untroubled placid sleep for better health.
If people could be serenely still they would see a positive spin in their life’s situation. Sitting in quiet contemplation, without negative thoughts towards themselves and others can be transforming.
Can you imagine a place of serenity?
In Love and Light
Isadora 🙏🏻

Because the season of Autumn is upon us,
the changing foliage reminds us of the changes
we must make throughout our lives.
Every petal, leaf or bark shed
is a layer we shed on our own journey
to our final destination.
Relish in the colors of our lives.
Namaste, Isadora

It’s been a long road back to blogging.
I’ve been healing from some upsetting things that have happened to me.
I’m hoping to tell of my experiences and of the many changes in my life.
It’s all been a part of my writing brain fog.
Healing happens in stages. I’m back on my the path. But, I’m in those beginning stages.
Taking care of myself was and is my first priority. I’ve been doing just that.
As many of you who follow me know, I live near the beach. I visit often. It’s my place to reconnect with nature. The waves against the shore are a meditative sound that help balance the stresses that can overpower me. Many of these traumas were beyond my control. Nature took a bite out of my safety net. The fall was shocking since there is no aggressive behavior in paradise.
The video below is where I was until these recent occurrences. I hope you enjoy it for its artistry of dance but also for the connected calm the two dancers are trying to impart on those who are viewing them. The ocean is where I find myself floating in the air, as the ship I might be on floats through calm waters.
Namaste, Isadora 🙏🏻
