If we only find community through tragedy we must find purpose through the tragedy to find community outside of tragedy

I was thinking about how humans are a bit more isolated than I feel is healthy for us. Then I thought about that in contrast to a tragedy in our culture. When I pair the two what I come up with is we come together when there is a tragedy. We begin to be honest about needing each other, we know how to help another person without having to ask how. Spiritually this teaches us a few things. Is the tragedy occurring in response to our lack of connectedness? I'd define this as the people who commit the act are feeling unloved, they don't actually feel connected. They could be living a life which appears highly fulfilling on the outside but is not so on the inside. We have become afraid to express ourselves emotionally and this is an obstacle to finding support in the void of going through the motions of life vs. living life. So to me searching for "what is wrong with this person." This statement will grow more and more confusing with each passing tragedy. Why? Because it is fulfiling our manifestation that there is a pattern in them, not us. It is the pattern in us that we need to examine, not the alleged perpetrator. Secondly, we are silently asking for love. Each of us is. You think back to 911 and what America became for a few days. We helped each other, we didn't have airplanes flying overhead. The world suspended, we were quieter, in shock yes but also awe. My heart was overturned but in time that made fodder for new growth. It feels hurtful to know people were lost in these tragedies. That feels hurtful and wrong. It is not in our nature to hurt each other, or is it? We can turn to what sells in America, violence sells and the stakes are pretty high right now with the level of violence shown even in a preview. When we ask for more violence, in media and movies, etc. Then we can't wonder why more has come in reality. If we do, I think we are a little misguided. I spoke today with somebody about "Gun Control" even that is a silly notion. The more we control guns the more violence and resistance will shift into being. We need to stop looking to the government as the parent and stay in that connected to our neighbor space that serves us and them. I vote for connection! Do you? Amy

Can you live inside this story anymore?

As I've been driving around the city these past days I can't help but look at billboards and want to cry. I can't live inside this story anymore. This is a story about lies about fake, fakey, fake! I have started defining it as the "lies" and prayed in gratitude that my husband can live in the lie and take it or leave it. I can't do that which makes me feel weak. However, today I took back my power on this front. I signed up for an email system. The said they make it really easy! They shared it is so important for an email to be free of jargin or defined so everybody can understand it. I looked at their videos and went deeper for direction. Their direction was FULL of jargin. HA! I emailed the young associate who told me "his design team would help me." Ha! I haven't heard back from him. I wrote in my email that this advice about loosing jargin has been lost on them. I told him it made me laugh. I love laughing at the absurd! What a joy. This is a bad parent in the making, this company. Yes, I can embrace the irony of my shadow right here! The point is, be straight with people because that will make this story change and I can't wait until the mainstream story is Cancer has a cure, you are supported and loved and you can have it and know it now. Because this story is true now and I hope everybody knows this story in the coming years! I'm hosting an emotional release workshop in June, this is not to be missed and only 5 people can participate! Register as soon as you see the class info come out! Love to everybody, even the email guy and "his design team".
