September Circle of Life and Time
Namaste Sacred Heartbeat in the circle of Life and Time!

I greet you on this 999 portal day of completion; in Lake Shasta this is a well known reference yet let me explain in case it is unfamiliar to you. Today is the 9th day of the 9th month in a 9 year. The year 2025 adds up to 9 when you combine all digits. 9 is a powerful completion number. While any moment in the circle offers opportunity to end or begin again, there are super charged opportunities like this 999 and the upcoming September 22nd's celebrations of Equinox and Rosh Hashanah, this year's Jewish New Year. When we align with energies held in numbers, stars, ancient rituals, it does indeed amplify the power we always have to change. Our hearts hold the wisdom of our souls ever beckoning to align with our divine design shine.

As fall is coming in with September's softer temperatures and colors, we see seasonal change and may feel the stirring to release some old just as the trees shed leaves in preparation for winter winds. We had rain here last night and today and the mountain was shrouded in clouds for most of the day. In fact, I couldn't see the mountain at all, all morning. As the ever swirling clouds shift and lift, I see the mountain received snow while we had the rain. The truth of what is can be shrouded and unseen yet what is true always exists.
Clouds sift and lift with layers of vision and gift!
This 999 portal is a strong invitation to completion, especially for the ending of suffering and destructive negative patterns. As Joanie Calem shared with us a few years back, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur also hold for this letting go of what doesn't serve as the Jewish New Year is embraced.

While we often yearn for change and the end of suffering, it most often unfolds one prayer, one care, one share at a time. In this turbulent time where our government leadership is invoking war domestically, sowing sorrow and separation, we must ever turn to our own ability and soverignty to be the change we seek in every mindful moment we can. As the war cries become louder with the president changing the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War, we are reminded of the power of words and how not so long ago, there was talk of a rename to the Department of Peace. May we hold that conversation vibration in our hearts and minds trusting the best of humanity to choose Love, Peace, Compassion, Goodness, Creativity, and even Passion and JOY!

In the midst of all the chaos and change our society is saturated in, we have the seemingly all powerful and unstopable onslaught of AI challenging our abilities to trust and know what is true. I recently fell into this ad thinking that Bruce Willis had been cured and his mind brought back online. Several minutes in, after hearing from him, his daughter, Dr, Gupta, and Cooper Anderson, my inner knowing started to niggle so I googled and sure enough, the ad was a scam selling these pills to reverse dementia or any brain decline. The aforementioned 4 people seemed to really be THEM yet, alas, it was AI able to simulate them ... perfectly. Ug. YIKES! I cried hard on this realization; rocked to the core that people could so callously lie, not just with false claims (which have been around for ages) but with false identity. In this case, I felt so bad for the Willis family as the ad spoke to their dream of a miraculous healing that was a lie. Technology can be ahmazing yet it is unsettling to see how this power is being used in what can be called a greedy war on truth. And so, still and always, we are always invited and encouraged to see truth with the eyes of our heart.
In our personal lives, we have so many layers of what's true for us as individuals, families, communities, and ultimately, humanity. There is always an opportunity to reflect on our choices and to begin again. I have been struggling with my pain patterns for way too long and am hopefully working towards a completion to so much of what I have been naming and claiming for what feels like a slice of forever.
Last night I spoke at length to what is true for me in this moment with regards to the websites and evolution of my work. I sat in the prayer chair to pray and there is a long vlog with a long prayer or just the long prayer. I align this prayer with all the work that has been here under the umbrella of New Thought Families since 2018 with Unity's World Day of Prayer happening this week.
Unity World Day Of Prayer ~ September 10/11
32nd annual, worldwide 24 hour Prayer Vigil.
This year's theme is Be Still and Know and the affirmtion is,
In the stillness, I awaken to divine wisdom.

999 Circle Vlog

Just the 999 Circle of Life and Time Prayer!

So yes, there is slow and steady progress here on the New Thought Families website as well as the other 3 sites in the Leaping Literacy Library including famlit.tv, Laurie's Stories.

As shared here last month and in this 999 vlog, the new compilation creation of Soul Playhouse has slowed the other work and been the main, new production focus. This show is for adults who want to spend time playfully remembering and/or experiencing some spiritual awareness and practice. A new show airs every Saturday and I feel fufilled in saying yes to this calling. Soul Playhouse has 2 dedicated cyber spots; @ famlit.tv and YouTube where you can subscribe for free if you are so called!

Here's last Saturday's Soul Playhouse
with our nature field trip to Mount Shasta's Lake Siskiyou!


Just the Lake Walk!

Thank you friend for being here and for being the divine shine of the sacred heartbeat you truly be. I celebrate the truth of you in all your invitations, celebrations, and completions. Namaste, Love!
