Breath of a Death Doula

My nature as a death doula is to provide comfort for the dying: comfort of mind, emotion, spirit, body, and breath. These are grievous times AND profound pathways for my ilk. Bearing witness from a distance, we encounter the sea of people across the globe, dying without family, friends or doulas by their side; alone without their loved ones. We are naturally inclined and trained for holding pure space, cradling bodies, synchronizing...

Thank you all who are showing interest in an angel squad and can help structure it. Let us tackle three important parts of being an angel.

We, your ADL angels, have pointed out that in your ADL organization you have mostly angels. This did come as a complete surprise to many of you. For years you have done your wonderful work but did not yet recognize that it was at an angelic level. This is not unique to ADL and it happens to many others.

Before we discuss the...

What if you thought of it
as the Jews consider the Sabbath—
the most sacred of times?
Cease from travel.
Cease from buying and selling.
Give up, just for now,
on trying to make the world
different than it is.
Sing. Pray. Touch only those
to whom you commit your life.
Center down.

And when your body has become still,
reach out with your heart.
Know that we are connected
in ways that are terrifying and beautiful.
(You could hardly deny it now.)
Know that our lives

I have to wonder at times if I'm the only one.  With my decades of training and experience steeped and ruled in procedures, processes, and regulations, I automatically think and react to life from and in an analytic frame of reference or perspective.

Growing up with the teachings of Unity, my time with ADL and other spiritual teachings opened a completely different world than my vocation. 

To some, it might seem schizophrenic, though I prefer to...

Love is All There Is
By Rev Barbara Lee Powers Mayer

Love is all that is important to us
So let go strife and let go fuss

Love is in, out and all around
Love is really easy to be found for Valentine's Day 2020
or any day

Love is here, there, and every where
Look for the good and do or dare
Look around and what do you see
Lots of love like the deep blue sea

Family, lovers and friends.
bring wondrous...

The Sun is in Capricorn through the 20th and it is Capricorn’s time to shine in the Sun! You are generally known as stern, strict and disciplined, but there is another side to you. You have a sense of humor, even though it is dry and sometimes goes “over people’s heads”. Capricorn, the mountain goat, you are known as hard working, but all work and no play is not good for your mental or physical health, so have some fun and be sure to exercise.
