Last weekend was spent packed in my car hurriedly driving to Texas. On Ostara we honored my father in law's life, reconnected with old friends and made new connection with family we'd never met before. It was a particularly emotionally draining trip. A trip that was sure to turn ugly if it had not been for one thing...I set the intention to be a JOY seeker. I found joy in my niece and nephew as they called me Auntie Found joy in sharing a cup of coffee with my sister in law And I found joy in the stories my father in law's friends shared in talking about him. By the new moon we were again packed in my car hurriedly driving back to Georgia. We started making frequent stops to take pictures of the wildflowers. Because even when things feel strange or difficult and look dark, we chose to see goodness and beauty. And as I stopped I felt a blessing come bubbling up ![]() May Goddess wipe your tears and fill your eyes with visions of joy to guide you through your darkest days. May Goddess pour her beauty into you filling the chips and cracks left by life's harshest lessons. And may you be reminded you are spirit in body...you are Goddess

@Loran~ Those wildflowers were so breathtakingly beautiful. I had forgotten what a delight Texas roads in the spring time can be. I wish we had been able to stop and get a picture of the bluebonnets....a deep blue ocean in the middle of random fields Such lovely words, Dionne...finding joy in all of life-the good & not so good-is the secret to living, isn't it? What a wonderful way to honor the life of your beloved father-in-law, to find the simple joys gathering for his passing brought you. I smiled when I read the "Aunti" part-children are such joy bringers, aren't they? They remind you to just be in the moment. The wildflowers are gorgeous too! Take care of your sweet self.
