LOVE BREATH DEATH REBIRTH

Thu, 01 Oct 2020 23:48:00 -0700

I am involved in the 30 day “Ultimate Blog Challenge” for the month of October! The theme of the 30 days is Love, Breath, Death and Rebirth.

-=-=-=-=-=-=

My husband of 35 years died of CV19 and I was present for his last breath. The word coming to me now is Cherish. Cherish the ones you love and even those you don’t think you love. Never take them for granted. Never assume they will be with you, tomorrow. This is one time the word “never” can be used with impunity. Yet when we fail in this endeavor to cherish and love without reservation, forgiveness of yourself is the way we crack open a loving heart.

Love everyone, as Ram Dass’ guru Neem Karoli Baba said. Love yourself without conditions. Live in the moment, knowing all human imperfections are perfect reflections of all the ways we can accept ourselves and all the chaos in the world, right now. Radical acceptance takes work- and play. As Justice Ginsburg said: “ Don’t be distracted by emotions like anger, envy, resentment. These just zap energy and waste time.”

I would add, allow your life to be exactly as it is and strive to be the architect of a full embodiment of Joy.

Kate's Corner: A Movable Blog

Tue, 16 Jan 2024 11:36:06 -0800

I am moving katelovingbusiness to Dean Holland’s software called affiliate systems by Internet profits. Because of that my blog is unavailable at the moment. And the reason I’m doing that is to have my blog and my business within the affiliate system software so that I can run seamless businesses within the hub.

Dean Holland has created tutorials to show us how to do this and I am following them. If I still have questions, I can join daily coaching sessions to get my questions answered.

I had made a commitment to blog every day from katelovingbusiness.com and when I realized that today, the site is on hiatus until it is accepted within the affiliate system software, I thought I would come over here to the blog that I loved doing called Tomaso’s Last Breath.

It has been almost four years since Tomaso passed on to other dimensions. The blog that I am writing on now was my way of processing the grief that I experienced losing my husband to Covid.

One of my major stressors has recently been lifted. I retired from my nursing career after 40 years. Winter has settled in, and I no longer have to go anywhere if I don’t want to. I used to go to Amish homes to attend the birth of their babies in the middle of ice snowstorms, rainstorms, windstorm, and as I recall right in the middle of Hurricane Sandy, when the wind was noisily thrashing the shutters...Read More

LIFE SCHEDULES

Fri, 08 Apr 2022 10:38:17 -0700

After a 40 year career as a full-time nurse, working nights since 2012, and juggling other ways to escape corporate medicine, I’ve come to the end of what feels like a simple clap of the hand, and then it is over.
Except it ain’t over yet. Workplace employee scarcity means I can’t retire from nursing in good faith, but probably can cut back as soon as I can, as I learn and implement how to start a solopreneur business on Amazon. Suffice to say, my life is taken up with nothing but schedules whether it be work, studying the way to set up the new business, coupled with meditation, spiritual practice, walking Pearl and other exercise, plus raining love on all my friendships and family. Not to mention the beautiful garden and fig trees calling for love and attention. But I love all of it. Taking from a motto I learned from the Waldorf school I once attended, “learn with joy.”
Overwhelm, fear of failure, self doubt and the imposter syndrome are all mindsets: victim mindsets that lower immunity and physical and spiritual strength. When or if they arise, I purposely banish them from my consciousness. Plus, during my Amazon course sign up, I was introduced to Joseph Clough who does hypnotic sessions to bring on the mindset of confidence and delight, all in the spirit of humility. The ego must be banished, too. All the above mentioned fears are of ego arrogance, not of the gentle attitudes we all need to find what we are seeking in this lifetime.
Schedules must be made to serve, not to imprison. That is what I am working on, now. OM

I AM SPIRIT

Thu, 07 Apr 2022 07:35:01 -0700

Continuing on with the spiritual study of "A Course In Miracles, Lesson 97
“I am spirit. Spirit am I, a holy Son of God, free of all limits, safe and healed and whole, free to forgive, and free to save the world.”
Going from body to spirit identification is not meant to negate the bodily temple that carries us through this physical dimension. You know the drill- good diet, eight hours of sleep, daily exercise with joy sprinkled throughout every day. The joy part is spirit, at work.
Change is the constant in this lifetime, yet resistance to the obvious is in vogue, now. In fact, it may be what motivates the human species.
The facts are, the good comes and goes. The tragedies come and go, like our thoughts which come and go, too. Not to say we live in dread of tragedy or fantasize about future fortune. We adapt a spiritual practice (spirit) to navigate the moments at hand. To say “I am spirit,” allows for the moments to enfold in a multidimensional arena of vast possibility.
Embrace your inner mystic, today! OM

JUST YOUR IMAGINATION

Wed, 06 Apr 2022 16:01:02 -0700

I am one Self, United with my Creator. Salvation comes from my One Self.”
This is a road map to open up communication systems with the Holy Spirit, who is with us always, in whatever form you recognize her. Yesterday I perceived her as my guardian angel. Today, it may be personified and embodied in my dog Pearl, who is by my side always! Let’s be creative and allow the creative process inform us.
A week ago, Pearl ran away by slipping out of her leash that she was tied to. I felt my heart sink as I called for her. I decided to invoke the name “Tomaso,” and I immediately saw her, digging up rotting fish in a neighbors compost pile. She had not been there moments earlier.
I took my cue from watching “Hollywood Medium,” and “Life After Death” on Netflix. I would not think our dearly beloved departed ones would have much to do with us, anymore.
Not that they don’t exist, but that they have another leg of their journey, and other adventures.
Tyler Henry changed that perception for me. So I tested it out when Pearl ran away.
I often feel Tomaso around. Now I know it’s not “just my imagination.” Even if it is, the imagination is a terrible thing to waste. OM

ONE SELF

Tue, 05 Apr 2022 17:25:12 -0700

I am one Self, United with my Creator. You are one Self with me, united with our Creator in this Self. I honor you because of What I am, and What He is, Who loves us both as One.
“We are all connected. We are all One. There is only One of us here.” All the above thoughts, strung together, is what A Course In Miracles is about. The only way to fully understand this is to go beyond body identification to spirit/soul identification.
I live where I live entirely alone and some would say, isolated. That belief further isolates me from what is expressed in this lesson- that I am never alone when I make the needed connections to Holy Spirit and my/our Creator. Conscious connection, made willingly, makes all the difference in the world.
Yesterday was 4/4, the energetic vibration of the Angelic realm. The Course may not mention angels, but they are here, waiting for our call for guidance and protection. I am here for that!
Yesterday, I partook in an Angel guided meditation, whereby I met and named my angel. Her name is Lunar Light! She showed up to say she is always with me! No wonder I never feel alone! OM

INNOCENCE AND HUMILITY

Mon, 04 Apr 2022 16:23:58 -0700

This is the fourth year for our online A Course In Miracles study group. Todays lesson is:
I am as God created me. I am His Son eternally.
This is a big one. I am as God created me means being rooted in innocence and humble self love in everything we do and everyone we meet, today. I couldn’t sleep last night because I started to doubt my ability to do the business I’ve been working toward. This lesson allows me to calm down and take each step forward (and several steps backward) all the while loving all of it, including you and also myself. I am as God created me reminds me of the newborn, who’s innocence allowed her/him to come into this world in the first place. Being born into this world is the ultimate example of placing faith in the possibilities inherent in a lifetime of lessons, however long or short that lifetime may be.
A spiritual practice, or several, is my guide as I navigate all of the changes being presented to all of us, today. Yesterday, the war in Ukraine seemed to hit home for many as the stark reality of death, brutality hit the Sunday morning airways. As a labor and delivery nurse all of these years, I’ve seen the innocence in humans many times as each one travels down the birth canal into the light. The dark autocratic leaders of our world today were all born innocent. We are all capable of being led astray. But when the realization of only Love and Forgiveness informs our vision, even Vladimir Putin can be redeemed. As we raise the vibration of our inner eye, all of our mistakes are forgiven.
Nurses on night shift like to tell ghost stories in the wee morning hours.
The longer we practice in the medical field, the more amazing the story. Sometimes opportunities arise to share these experiences, assuming all the right variables are in place, like sleeping patients, work that can be done at a later time, and just the need to chat and share.
Last night was one such night.
We all had survived a traumatic week of Obstetric emergencies. Thankfully, no one died.
But as we were debriefing from our mutual experiences, I could not help but think that nurses suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress, right up there with war survivors, policemen, firemen, crisis workers, social workers and teachers.
Then one of my co-workers described an unusual scene.
Years before, she worked in an old wing of a hospital, dating back to the early 1900's. The floors creaked. The odors were reminiscent of years and years of accumulated history.
A strange oddity kept repeating itself. My friend would go to do a patient assessment and the patient would say: "Oh, a nurse was just in and did all of that." (Blood pressure, taking temperature, listening to lung sounds, etc.)
Finally, my friend asked her patients to describe the nurse who had...Read More

Psychedelic Mind

Sat, 02 Apr 2022 17:34:08 -0700

I attended an online film festival a few weeks ago that outlined the newest research in Psychedelic Medicine. Believe it or not, Pennsylvania has a bill to decriminalize psychedelics. It has bipartisan support and is called HB 1959.
The mental health epidemic around the globe may explain why this bill is moving forward. Research at Johns Hopkins, for instance, proves that depression, alcoholism, addictive behavior in all categories, can be remedied by the use of psychedelics. A huge dose is not required. Microdosing is the way of the future.
I believe if world leaders would take psychedelics, their entire ego mindset would change in a millisecond. They would suddenly have what can be called, “the psychedelic mind.”
The psychedelic mind is that which is in tune with dimensions far beyond this one, where vision expands to include what formally was believed to be impossible, where love alights on consciousness and can always be drawn upon.
Microdosing is ideally undertaken with a guide or group who are well-versed in giving gentle instruction. Often these experiences lessen the fear of death. The fear of death is thought to be the cause of every known neurosis in human consciousness.
A movie I saw in the film festival was called “From Shock To Awe” about the mental health trials of our veterans. The movie depicted the transformation of several veterans participating in Ayahuasca...Read More

A RECAP

Fri, 01 Apr 2022 13:11:56 -0700

We embark on another month of daily blogging. I got the bright idea to start an e-commerce business on Amazon on March 2, 2022. Right now, I am taking a course on how to do this. I’ve been chaffing at the bit to retire from nursing for several years, if not decades. I love the profession, but allopathic medicine has always been alien to me. I learned to navigate those rough waters which included widespread burn out in medicine and healthcare, in general. People who enter the profession have an ideal of serving others selflessly. I know I did. And still do.
I just turned 71 years young. That moment made it clear that it’s time to move on in the spirit of gratitude for what my experience taught and continues to teach me. Service in all arenas is the medicine that heals. This is the aspect of medicine that can’t be taught. It must be learned, most often by having a spiritual practice, one that enhances and promotes transformation.
As the pandemic seemed to be moving away, a potential world war arose from years of political posturing from Russia, Trump, the USA. President Biden wasted no time in pulling NATO back together so that hopefully nuclear war can be averted.
Nuclear war has been the elephant in the room all of my life, since the invention of “the bomb.” The nuclear bomb. The A bomb. The H bomb. The neutron bomb. Why do countries still have them? Why would anyone need or want them?
This great mystery is unknowable. So many suffer as these wars continue. I wish I could stop all war. That happens by quieting the mind and finding peace from within. The...Read More
