Marianne Williamson: Every year on Mother’s Day I read the original Mother’s Day Proclamation (see below), written by Julia Ward Howe in 1870.
It wasn’t created by happy mothers. It was the product of a unique and tragic congress: mothers of sons who died in the Civil War while fighting for the Union, and mothers of sons who died while fighting in the war for the Confederacy, gathered together in mutual grief and sorrow.

Just down the road from where I live is — I don’t have words for it — a newly built “picnic structure” covered in flowers for community socializing.
We happened to stroll by when the flowers were being discussed, samples brought by the artisans; we had no idea what a centerpiece this would be.
I heard them saying the whole structure was very expensive and I wondered then who would do this! They also said it was for local restaurants to have community dinners throughout the summer.
From a post in a local newspaper:
The South Granville Business Improvement Association has unveiled a first-of-its-kind place-making installation called Bloom. . . a must-visit for fans of art, flowers and architecture.
The South Granville installation adorns four forest-bathing-inspired seating pods originally conceptualized by HCMA and built in collaboration with the City of Vancouver, Fast + Epp Engineering, Great Northern Way Scene Shop and SGBIA.
Bloom is an immersive walk-in experience that is perfect for a botanical selfie.
Local florist Botany and Bloom worked with SGBIA to create Bloom using a confetti springtime pallet and a mix of daisies, cherry blossoms, Billy Balls, anemones, peonies and more.
Extraordinary!
Our spring has been very wet; this structure’s popularity is helping revitalize the area ~ inspired creation.

3 totem poles, signifying our Oneness and Reconciliation in Canada, are a few blocks from where I live, in front of a Vancouver School Board building.
In 2019, when they were carved, I talked to the carvers but never came back to read the plaques that are posted below. Since then, many children have been discovered buried, beside residential schools across Canada.
Our history has risen to the surface to be addressed.
The Legacy Carving Project – ‘We Are One’ – 3 totem poles, are a national first for our public school district:
This permanent installation was created by artists representing the 3 local First Nations — Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh — and carved out of 300 to 500-year-old red cedar logs.
The tallest of the poles is intended to “unite everyone,” while the 2 welcoming figures — one male and one female — recognizes the balance of both genders and the school district’s commitment to equity and inclusion.
In a newspaper article, I discovered over 1,500 students visited the artists during the carving process to learn more about the process of creating a totem pole, the significance of the symbols on the poles, and the meaning behind reconciliation.
We Are One
My granddaughter has been with me since late February this year.
Daily we have been out walking through my neighbourhood.
In a 3 part series — too many photos! — here is what we have observed, children and adults remembering how magical Earth is, helping create our Nova Earth.
Part 1, fairy gardens, high and low. . .
“Big Hug from Me to You” ~ a branch with little things in a hedge
Fairy doorways & windows in trees
. . . more fairies . . .
We met the young girl, who created the fairies sitting on the nest and in the chair, with her Mom. She heard us, “Oohing and ahhing,” and popped through the hedge to explain everything. She was adorable 🙂
and Gnomes . . . this one hanging off a rain barrel and the ones below.
All so magical and fun! Everyday we find more. . .
So inspired to create one for my granddaughter 🙂

I’m a 102-year-old doctor. Here’s the No. 1 thing the healthiest and happiest people I know never do
By Gladys McGarey, May 8th, CNBC Make It
I turned 102 years old this year, and my decades of experience in holistic medicine has taught me a lot about how to live a long, happy and purposeful life.
Too many people feed into unnecessary stress.
But the happiest and healthiest people I know are able to let go of things or experiences that no longer serve them.
Life is too short to ruminate and consider same thought over and over again. [Read more…]

Colonel Douglas Macgregor
discusses the war in Ukraine
with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Colonel Macgregor graduated from West Point Academy and is considered “one of the Army’s leading thinkers on innovation.” He became prominent inside the Army when his book, Breaking the Phalanx, was published in 1997 arguing for radical reforms – peace on Earth.
From the teachings of the Universal Law of Instantaneous Transmission and Transformation, Sanat Kumara had this to say when I phoned in with a question about abundance.
(I was asking about abundance, but what I was really asking about was self-worth, and abundance of self-worth is truly gratitude and joy, forgiveness that creates peace, deep compassion/non-judgement/Love — and LOVE IS EVERYTHING.)
Our inner work creates peace — as within so without.
Never underestimate the power of the inner work and then sending that peace, Love and compassion, joy/self-worth to the Collective. [Read more…]
Sanat Kumara: It’s very simple, but it begins with you knowing you are already free.
You always have been so let that illusion, that old illusion of control — because it is an exercise in control that you feel imprisoned — let it go.
If all the people of Gaia. . . were beginning to invoke the Law of Change for the highest and best. . . the truth would emerge.
There would be what you think of as a reparation, repentance, reconstitution, and that would be a good thing because the vision of true governance — not government — governance would be restored. [Read more…]
