Hello, my lovelies. 😊
I hope y’all have had a beautiful Monday. 😊 It was definitely not a normal one for me here at Haven Hill. Believe it or not, I stayed home yet again and spent the fourth full day in a row working through the events of years ago with my dear friend.
It’s been an amazing journey thus far, and fortunately, the agony I felt yesterday and the day before was absent today. In fact, for most of the day, I felt fairly peaceful, even happy.
I did worry a bit for an hour or so while, after getting on a very sensitive topic, I accidentally hurt my friend’s feelings with what I shared. Fortunately, my friend fairly quickly shrugged it all off, gave me a pass, and we just moved forward. It was beautiful, and I was grateful.
With four days of heavy lifting under our belts, we’ve now worked through the vast majority of everything. I don’t think either of us expected anything remotely like what we’ve experienced these last four days, but it’s been incredible.
Depending on how long it takes to process through the last chunk of things we’ve planned to work through, tomorrow might wrap up this memorable and healing experience together.
Neither one of us is looking forward to another goodbye, this one likely the longest of them all, but life’s circumstances seem to require it.
Though… I don’t know… I’m not as rigid in my thinking as I used to be. Perhaps there’s room for a form of continuing friendship somehow, even with the circumstances as they are. I don’t know. We’ll figure it out. It may simply be best to plan on a permanent goodbye.
Beautiful day, however it turns out. Beautiful memories.
#1. I’m grateful for the forgiveness of a friend.
#2. I’m grateful that I was able to get jobs scheduled for my tech tomorrow.
#3. I’m grateful for the concern that my tech has for me (I’m trying to omit names for privacy’s sake, if you were wondering why it sounds so cold for me to write “tech”), who called me several times through what I’ve been going through these last few days.
#4. I’m grateful to be feeling better physically today. And hey, I’ve now lost pretty much the last of the pudge I got from my, what, year-long sugar binge? Nothing like some stressful days bringing about a diet pretty much of pure protein to melt off the remaining fat, eh? 🙃
#5. I’m grateful to have found this video today and to have been motivated by it. I think I’m going to be making some major changes in my professional life pretty soon. I highly suggest watching it–the whole thing.
Well, folks. Thanks, for reading and for being part of my journey.
Loves and hugs to you. 😊
Lift the World.

Lift the World 
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your life. Thank you for that video, Stephen. What a spectacular reminder to shed the superfluous and live our truth. Big hugs!
Oh, Stephen,
I’m sooo glad… *I’m sooo glad.* I’m so glad for answered prayers. I’m so glad that you’ve been able to move forward into healing light. I’m so glad that peace has nested in your heart. I’m so glad that happiness is beginning to hatch inside. I’m sooo glad, for the understanding and care that your tech has shown. I am sooo glad that the turmoil, agony, and heartache of a decade and more might be knitting itself into healing. I am so glad for all the people who love you and for all the people whom you love…
Thank you for sharing the video. I appreciate Denzel Washington’s powerful message and his humility as he shared it. I look forward to sharing it with others and providing myself with reminders of his message so that I will remember to act.
*May you continue to be lifted in your journey and in your efforts to lift the world.*
I love you, Stephen…
Thanks, sister! 🙂 it is certainly a journey and a process, and there’s a long long long ways to go, but it is been much better the last day and a half then the days before. Onward and upward!
Welcome, and thanks. The part about the angels by your side or whatever they were that were manifestations of your potential and what you did with potential, was very powerful to me. That’s exactly what I have felt for decades, like I am wasting my potential. I’m getting closer and closer to mustering up my courage to just going for it. There’s a lot of fear, but I’m just about ready to do it.
