Reason, Season, or a Lifetime!
This writing below you may have heard before but sometimes it is good to just stop for a moment and ‘see’ where we are, for us and others. And these words are for those moments in our lives, times we see in those changes we go through. To go beyond what we were and become something more beautiful, more profound in having gone through them. The changes at the moment seem to be a little stronger than normal so may be asking us to truly go deeper inside and understand us a little further. They are always for us, let us slowly see the beauty that we are…and set us free in that understanding.
——————————————————————————————-
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty; to provide you with guidance and support; to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

And those friends, partners, acquaintances are indeed such great teachers. Even if they don’t realize it. They push us, poke us, hold us back, dare us to go beyond what we are…even love us for just who we are…even if they say we are crazy.
And if anything they say stings…then from a much higher place a message has been given. That want to be accepted is asking us to look a little deeper at that message and dare to understand its meaning and go beyond it.
All down here asks us to go beyond what we are and find that acceptance, our acceptance, that acceptance that only love can give. And they do love us, even if some advice may seem so far apart from that love.
So my friends, I thank you from my heart (and a little extra for Karla who’s journey is asking of her a little more at the moment), for all that you have shared with me on my journey. And I have no doubt you are all LIFETIME friends, and for that totally appreciated for that love and understanding given. For that and more…I thank you! ❤️🙏
Merry Christmas to one and all xox 🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️🔔🎉✨😀❤️🙏
Yes I’m gliding high Mark , not flapping lol 😆 😂 🤣…
Onwards and upwards my friend xx 💕💛💕🐉🐲🐉
I thought I would drop on by Mark, as I return again to WP and blog land… Hope all is well with you, and you had a lovely Easter … Sending love and hugs my friend <3 🙂
Hey Sue, glad to hear from you. I hope you’ve had a lovely Easter too, if not too much chocolate 🤣 And I think a break is worth its weight in gold, especially to touch base with the earth in your garden again. I do hope the beginning of a new crop of everything is under way for that abundance it gives this summer for you, and just the feel good of doing it. There is a lot happening back over here, quite an unusual mix in healing and personally. Even the heavens are dancing to a strange mix. An eclipse on the 8th, a green comet up your way in the northern hemisphere…and who knows what the middle east will bring. Sending lots of love and hugs back too kind lady, looking forward to your connection…even if just a quiet one for a while to ‘reconnect’ slowly 🤗🥰😀❤️🙏
Good to reconnect Mark… and yes all seedlings in the soil, ready to plant out soon, half the potatoes now in.. The wet weather has delayed us a little… As its made it heavy going digging.
And agree.. Lots going on World Wide Mark, from Eclipses, to disclosures, to rockets to the moon shadow and CERN in the mix.. 😉 Watch this space I say… Amazing times… Wouldn’t miss it for the world lol 😉 xxx Sending Hugs.. and yes taking it is small steps, my friend xx 🙂 Much love your way 💖🙏✨
Great to hear that your Spring has sprung Sue. There is nothing like that dirt in the hands and freshness of new growth and the fruit of a lot of hard work. Just like that love inside us 😀❤️🙏
It is in fact raining very hard here at the moment, one of those fronts that clash with another on the coast, and wild winds predicted later to build it right up.
Something interesting…I wasn’t ready to go back online yet…but an update came through and threw me back online. I think Spirit has spoken 🤗🤣
Much love and light to you also Sue, let it go as it will. I look forward to more chats then xox 🤗🥰🤣❤️🙏
I too was guided Mark.. I wasn’t going to come back for a while yet.. Then I got prompted by the HUM…. 🙂 xxx of the Eclipse 😉 xx
Haha, these times are a’speaking Sue…even if we aren’t listening at first. And yes, that energy is quite strong. I’ve seen so many near me going through some truly crazy moments these last few months. Hold on my friend, get your wings out and we’ll both face these strong winds together xox 🤗😀❤️🙏
I like this! I think of people as lines. People with parallel lives don’t cross. Others lines at right angles are the people who meet only for a short period of time … and then everyone else in between. Interesting how many times people from our past pop into our minds, thus wondering whatever happened to ___, or, I wonder how ___ is doing?
Yes Frank, it is an amazing thing when someone pops up from our past, the thinking goes back, good or bad, to see where we now are or how far we’ve progressed beyond where we were at. And incredibly we are always ‘nudged’ in those things we struggle with. I think love wants us to be free of those conditions we hold so we can finally experience the beauty of unconditional love. We’ll get there, I’ve been blessed in touching it very briefly and understanding it isn’t some line off in the impossible somewhere, and something we are all very capable of reaching it by letting go those things that hold us. Hope you had a great Christmas and New Year my friend, and you’ve ‘let go’ all those fantastic foods and sweets for another year 🤣 Thank you for sharing, and may your new year be blessed with your past, present and future 😀❤️🙏
Unconditional love is the pinnacle …. so I wonder how many people think they have it, but don’t.
Somehow I don’t think it is actually possible to be in that unconditional love ‘down here’. Breathing is a condition, moving is a condition, pain is a condition, let alone our minds being dragged hither and yon. So with so much going on in any moment I don’t think it can be. I touched it…but I was no longer ‘down here’. I had somehow ‘let go’ to be shown from that inner spiritual condition so that I could understand. When it is touched you never forget it, and understood that way because I have never touched it down here. When we fall madly in love, it is close because in that moment we have ‘let go’ of so much and in doing so come close. But in truth, there is a very profound difference because of the ‘physicality’ we still hold down here. And I think, when we go ‘up there’ it is appreciated all the more because of that beautiful difference. Having touched both, I now truly appreciate down here, even in its very difficult and hard paths, because I can see and understand what awaits because of all this journey down here. Worth every step Frank, all of them 😀❤️🙏
Hi Frank, I’m writing a post on this issue so would you mind if I use your comment (question), as a part of that? 😀❤️🙏
No problem… pleasure is mine to be involved
Thank you kind sir, it stimulated much thought indeed 🤣❤️🙏
So. I’m wondering, Mark…I get this and can see instances in my own life where this is true. But, what do you think about someone RE-ENTERING your life??? This person was in my life for a season…and I did learn. We have since re-connected, and I am very aware of my boundaries. I wonder if it is a new lesson…
Sending lots of good wishes your way!!
Hi Lorrie. When we go through something, especially in relationship problems, we always have those events recurring…but, they have a very important part to play. They show ‘you’ how far you have come since going through it. Even to the point where if we haven’t resolved something it keeps coming back up to show you where you are still struggling. And that is where ‘boundaries’ come into it. If you/they have a boundary, something isn’t resolved. All, not some, not every second one, not anytime are boundaries not fear. They are all built to protect us from something, and we or others put them there so that we/them don’t be hurt by them. And that is built on our fears…otherwise why would we put them there if they weren’t upsetting us. We can shake our heads because the last 6 relationships all poke us in that fear factor, only because love wants us to understand those ‘conditions/boundaries’ from our fears and finally let them go into that unconditional love. And sometimes those people can re-enter your life so you can see that you have in fact gone beyond what it showed you, and freed your heart.
Interestingly, the very act of a quarrel or breakup can be the culmination of what you need to see within yourself…but…you then see that partner has resolved themselves in some way. And you may see them being beautiful to someone else and it feels terrible because you have missed out on that ‘nice person’ in what they have now become. But you too have become something else and will then attract accordingly. And I have seen a re-connection for people to see that change in both…and…because it is healed it can go into a wonderful relationship now because those parts of us has changed. We will have understood why we had those fears and let them go. But if not, it will again nudge that fear factor if it is still holding you.
We only have 80 odd years down here and relationships are strong and intense so that we can go through that pain…and step beyond it in understanding it. And as we understand we ‘let go’ those parts and can then freely stand in that love we have found. And trust me Lorrie, I touched that unconditional love, of where all this leads to, and I saw each and every step down here is showing us something wonderful, even in its pain. This understanding from down here truly will give an appreciation like nothing else ‘up there’. It is hard, and it does have its beauty as well, but beyond them both is something beyond even words. That is why it is so hard to explain love, words truly cannot express the beauty within it. Wait till you touch unconditional love…and you will, in going through this all.
Thank you for your blessings kind lady, gratefully received and returned in kind. May you have a beautiful year too ❤️🙏
Much love in your journey also kind lady, it does have a very beautiful destination 😀❤️🙏
Wow, Mark! Some real deep food for thought here. I read this last night but had to sit with it a little to be able to respond. Thank you so much for going deep and sharing your knowledge in such a profound way. Hmmmm….boundaries are fear…
I have to sit with this more…it seems right. But what has me flustered is that I had zero boundaries for most of my life…in fact didn’t really understand what they were. And then since I’ve been on this healing journey, boundaries came up and I thought, “Yes, maybe I need to put some of those in place.” But now I see what you are saying, and maybe I needed those boundaries at that time, but the more I recognize myself, and the incredible love that exists inside – maybe I need to look at things again.
It’s all good. I love how you see things that others don’t see…or see them in a different way. This person who has re-surfaced was someone I love and he likes to “control”…EVERYTHING! In the past it was hard for me to stand in my own power and only go along with what was right for me at the time. I found myself acquiescing because his energy was so strong. It has been a while…and I am a different person now. So what I meant by boundaries is probably really just living from my truth and only doing what rings as truth for me. So I’m not sure where that fits into this discussion, but I am ever thankful for the time you take to have a conversation that makes me think more deeply.
Whenever you speak of the unconditional love you experienced, I understand it…and I know I have felt it…it is like it was a dream and when I try really hard to reach for the memory…when I try to grasp it with both hands…it melts into the ether. Therefore, I see that it is not something that you can handle or hold…it is something that is…on it’s own…ever flowing…ever living…and if we are lucky enough to be able to connect with it…or even remember it in a dream…well…Blessitude!!!!!
Thanks, Mark. Sure hope that things in life are super as you embark on this new year! ❤️
Hi Lorrie, your right, it got a bit deep so I wrote my comment to you above, and a reply to this comment, and made a post (Face Yourself…And Be Free!) if that is ok by you. I’ve changed a few bits so its not so directly answering you with personal bits, but it is something that applies to us all. If that is ok I’ll post it in the next day or so, I think it is one of those things that affect us all in trying to go beyond our fears and stand in that unconditional love gently waiting inside us 😀❤️🙏
Would love to read it, Mark! It’s exciting to see how the creative muse takes a bit of inspiration from wherever she goes 😁
Sweet Blessings!
Thank you Lorrie, I shall fire it up today or tomorrow. Thank you for the inspiration, love and blessings kind lady 😀❤️🙏
All good things, Mark 🙂 ❤️
I will look for it!!
I am just dropping in again here dear Mark.. as I wish you a very Happy Holiday… Many thanks for the lovely friendship and encouraging words my friend… Big Hugs and much love sent your way ❤️❤️❤️ xx
Thank you Sue, wishes gratefully received kind lady. And those Christmas blessings returned in kind. I hope Christmas is a great time for you, hubby and Biscuit…oh, and the garden, even if it is sleeping for this season 🤣
And many thanks for the year shared from you too my friend, even if it has been a little testing for you I have no doubt. But the love found so much more profound because of that. Have a great time, many hugs from down under and much love for the season to you all Sue 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️ xox
Bless you and thank you Mark… big hugs xx ❤️
Big hugs to you guys too kind lady, thank you 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🕊🎁🦌☃️
A profound message any time of the year Mark.. And I thank you dear friend for the sincere gifts of friendship held out throughout many a season…
I know from experience that when in true need we are given a helping hand in many different forms…
I so thank you for your seasoned friendship..
Much love dear Mark..
And Your post may have popped into my notifications, but I have not been here in a week and the box so full it then cuts off after a while to say I am all caught up.. LOL.. Which I know I never am.. 🙂
Sending HUGS my friend ❤️ 💚✨🎄🎅
Thank you Sue, and gratefully received kind lady. It seems like a long time our friendship but it goes so fast. And as we get a little older an appreciation is formed no matter the length, simply from the love and wisdom we have become.
And the wisdom gained from just doing you is a profound thing, to just pop up occasionally to touch base with your friends is a gift regardless. It still touches all the right places whether a few days or months. The love ever remains my friend, thank you.
I started Christmas cheers early because the world just needed it, spread a little love to break the worlds craziness and just allow a stop and appreciation, to see there is another way. May it happen my friend, and we see the fear we have allowed to hold us in that place.
Have a lovely Christmas Sue, may it have that love with you and yours, Biscuit, hubby and the garden. And the peace and blessings of that love found. Love and light to you all 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
Thank you Mark.. I am well into the festive spirit my friend… I put our tree up yesterday, and laid out my little knitted gifts I intend to share in a post soon…
I feel more in the Christmas spirit this year than for a couple of years …
And I agree… Let the fear go and replace it with JOY…
Sending Hugs your way my friend and thank you xx ❤️
Thank you Sue. I think the biggest block for Christmas is that constant bombardment from whatever direction it comes from. TV, radio, others, and we are tired. Life tests us, especially at the moment because of the speed and strength of that change we are all facing at the moment. And those other ‘happenings’ around the world add to it. But we will understand our change and let it go and stand back in that acceptance of ourselves because of that journey. Even your journey has just spoken to you, rocked your path enough to just ‘let go’ those parts that are no longer a part of you and allow you to appreciate so much more in experiencing it. So in that Spirit I decided to extend the spirit , love and energy that Christmas is behind it all, that connecting with others with a love and nothing else, no expectations, just a hello from within. May it be a lovely time for you and yours kind lady, a little while where the world is just wherever it is, but you just touching and being that beauty from within. Thank you for sharing that in your hugs, and returned in kind my friend. Let it be that Joy within us all xxx 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
Bless you dear Mark… for those wise and kind words… I have just posted my JOY to the world.. Lots of LOVE my dear friend xx 💖🎅🥂🎄✨
I shall come over and have a look, thank you kind lady 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅
Thank you Mark for popping over .. The Mice family loved your visit xx ❤️
My pleasure Sue, you have been busy. And they were a delight, they truly stand out don’t they. The detail really brought them to life. Thank you again for the share, they definitely brought a smile 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
Thank you again Mark… So pleased that they brought that smile xx ❤️
It is always a good time to stop and reflect. As we go through life we evolve and add so much experience… along with the garbage.thank you dear Mark for guiding us home 💞🙏🏻🕊️
Thank you Val, it is a time to check into where our hearts are. Ponder what the year has brought and the path it is leading us to. And yes, even the garbage is signaling if our path needs an adjustment or not 🤣
I thank you for your blessing of wisdom all year, gratefully received with the love ever given kind lady. Now if I could just yoga-rize my body and mind, I’ve got it made 😂 Actually I should not jest Val, it is the art of healing from a beautiful place. That place within us all. Much love and light and a merry Christmas to you and yours Val, may it hold much love and blessings to you all 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
Thank your kind words, as always 🥰 and for the early Christmas wishes, Mark. 🕊️🙏🏻🤍🌟🎄
Everyone says I’m early Val, but that love we are being guided to should be expressed every day I think, in as many ways as possible. And the world is currently being nudged in so many negative ways by wars and calamities that I think the more love we share the better. Regardless kind lady, may your love be ever present in whatever way you share in you 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅
Maybe we all need to be early .. because the message of love is even more important this year. Go for it 🕊️🙏🏻🤍🎄🥰
I love it, and so beautifully said kind lady. May we all indeed ‘go for it’ 🤣❤️🙏🎄🎅
I think it is good to be reminded of this every now and then. It is so important. Thank you.
There are lots of delightful souls on here reminding us of who we are Pam. Sharing this journey to show us…us…and don’t you love them for it 🤣 Ok, there is the odd poke in there but that too is needed, to show us the love we hide. Glad to have you on board kind lady, thank you. And also a thank you for letting me out to play at your place too, the balls at your place are more colorful and they bounce better than the one’s here 😂 Merry Christmas my friend, and blessings that they always do 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
Love this Mark. And you have come into my life to share all your beautiful wisdom.
Thank you Michele, and as you do also kind lady, ever gratefully received. Always a kind voice ‘over there’ to encourage all these LIFETIME friends to share and be shared. Have a beautiful Christmas, to you and yours, may its love be shared with you all 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
Beautiful and wise words Marks especially to remember the gift we are for each other this time of year❤️ I like that we are all here on wp lifetime friends who inspire and support one another in realising our unconditional love💃🕺🥰 Bless you Mark for your enormous heart❤️ with much love and gratitude x
And much love and gratitude for what your heart shares too Barbara. Thank you. It has been a big year for you kind lady but even so your changes have opened a beauty through it, and allowed you a more profound touch inside that is you. And that path can only build that empathy, compassion and love we seek so we can truly understand the purpose behind it all. It may still have much unknown but that still asks us to take another step and understand our hearts a little more. Big hugs Barbara, a LIFETIME love is always here, as you have always shared with many on here and throughout your life. And gratefully received dear lady. May you have a beautiful Christmas, the touch of many friends, and the heartfelt loving energy of Tom through it all. Much love and light always 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
Glad you sensed it was I mark🤩 You’re rather early for Christmas wishes though aren’t you? Or should I begin writing my Christmas wishes to everyone 💃🕺❤️ much love x
Spirit asked me to speak what I felt, and this world needs an early start kind lady. Something we can all be a part of, and create something that if not seen but be touched so that we ‘know’ it is true. Know that we cannot stay where we are any longer, to step into that change and in doing so encourage others to do the same. Go beyond those leaders of fear and build something new. It is that time to step forward and speak what we feel, all of us…so that they see that the ‘control’ they think they have is lost. The only power they ever held…was our silence. So, in the spirit of that change…Merry Christmas Barbara, may that gift of change be for us all. Love and light kind lady, for that beauty that is coming xox ❤️🙏🎄🎅
My notifications doesn’t seem to be working and I’m not receiving much communications 😩 But anyway, I’m being brought to you now in the dead of night… to reread and catch up with you. Your Christmas spirit certainly worked! I began to decorate my home a little before I leave for the holidays and am beginning to feel the flow of Christmas joy pulling me up! I believe in another comment to you I explained the mud bath I seem to be having😂🤣! Anyway, here’s to making the very best of life, making our way out of this controlling world forever more! Thankyou Mark, Much love and Christmas cheer🤩❤️🕺🌈
Yayyy! I can hear your heart Barbara and there is certainly nothing wrong with building the Christmas joy and blessings a little early. It is being shared by many, even in a mud bath your heart will still sing my friend because she is staying open. It is difficult at this time for you…but…I have no doubt Tom’s energy is willing you on to have that smile inside and to enjoy with family and friends, and to ‘let go’ this world as you say. Your stepping beyond that now and building a new you. Big, big hugs kind lady, may your Christmas be that light inside to light that path you create. Merry Christmas, love and light, and many blessings on its path dear lady. And thank you for sharing your heart here too 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
I’m anonymous. Big heartfelt hugs
Never anonymous kind lady, you have the touch of a horse, wabbit and bird whisperer here 🤣 Oh, did I miss it? It’s the 2nd Dec here already…rabbit-rabbit-white-rabbit-white-rabbit for the 1st of the month to you kind lady 😂 And I am also grateful for your LIFETIME friendship my friend, ever a voice across the way. It is amazing how we can all be on the ‘other’ side of the world, and chat like we are together catching up. Thankfully the wonders of technology…and those big hearts we all carry with us and share. Huge hugs and a Merry Christmas to you and yours kind lady, may the gift of its wonders visit and bless you truly. Much love and light from ‘down under’ 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
Much love to you dear Mark! I don’t know how my comment was from “anonymous” but I wanted you to know it was me – in case you didn’t know…LOL But in my heart 💖 I knew you’d recognize it was me…yes, a LIFETIME friendship…big grin, a little teary with heart filled gratitude for all the love, kindness and caring you give out so freely to all of us…”a star in your crown” my Mom would say…so blessed to know you…big heartfelt loving hugs to you my friend…💖🙏💝🌟🌸🤗
Just wordpress having one of its hissy fits Yvonne, its seems to single out a few occasionally to test the patience. Mine anyway 🤣
And most definitely recognized you my friend, the heart, rabbit and horse energy was way too high to be anyone else 😂
Thank you for your lovely words, gratefully received kind lady and returned in kind. May you have a beautiful Christmas with you and yours, many blessings, love and light to you all 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
Big heartfelt hugs. I figured you knew it was me!! 💖💓💕
Horse and rabbit whisperer’s have their own lovely energy kind lady 🤣❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
I am grateful that you are in my friendship circle, be it for as long as possible! Big heartfelt hugs to you Mark with much appreciation for all the blessings and caring and kindnesses that you share with all of us! xo
😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
I experienced this a few times. The hardest lesson was to understand that I and my best buddy (who lives far away in California) from school days did not come together for something in the future but only for healing him to make him find solid ground beneath my feet. We helped each other out of our worst prisons. He found a new direction in life and a new love. I could break my wall of fear and self-doubt which led to everything I do today. But his new love was so jealous and after a while I became a dark secret which broke my heart. It took me a long time until I understood that we had only reunited for healing reasons for a temporary time. But once I did, I made my peace with the situation, and next to my own healing during that time I felt such a deep gratitude that it was me who was called to help him out of his darkness. We are still in touch and even visited this year again, but it feels much more relaxed now.
In hindsight it is a very powerful time, to be a part of another and to heal ourselves as well. The one thing that took many years was to understand that in any encounter, and especially those strong soulful relationships, was ever a two way street, always giving to both…even if just a confirmation of what we have experienced. We will be that mirror for them and us, just as they do.
And of course those deeper ‘contacts’ take us somewhere to really see much meaning in those encounters. We can in fact love them deeply…but it isn’t those loves we blossom into down here, but something already there, a relationship as old as time. And as you said, you can have long periods of no contact but on meeting again, it is like only yesterday and take up from where you left off.
That is a soul connection. Something I have even felt in others, something that ‘just is’. That friend I spoke of was just as yours was. You ‘know’ as you speak where you are at, the direction of your path, the forks that must come. Hard yes, but somehow known so that an understanding is already there, hence that gratitude in which you speak. They are powerful moments, be it soulful or encounters of the heart…which they both are.
Thank you for sharing Erika, as you always do that wisdom found in this journey. It is appreciated very much as you show much that is not understood, of which I am sure no two paths can be the same, but much wisdom in them all. Have a beautiful Christmas dear lady, a happy time with family, and a huge appreciation from me in being that understanding that only love can be. Big hugs from down under, may that LIFETIME touch ever go on. Thank you 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
“A soul connection” that’s what it truly is. We “hear” each other without calling, we simply feel them and we know when to contact each other. You got that right, it does not matter for how long you don’t see each other. The connection is there and you simply move on from where you stopped. It is as if we even felt each other’s development.
Thank you for your wonderful and love-filled wishes. May we all learn that we have come down here to accompany and be accompanied. We need each other and we never know who of the billions it may be tomorrow… have a lovely Christmastime too, dear Mark 💖
They are indeed powerful connections, for those steps that need to truly be understood and may need some assistance in daring them ❤️🙏
Have a beautiful Christmas too kind lady, may it always be with that gift of love 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
Thank you so much, Mark. Tomorrow I am participating at my first Christmas market with my company. Cross your fingers!!
Hey that’s great. Lots of beautiful Christmas energy coming at you then Erika, may it all be blessed, gifted and wrapped in love. And all fingers crossed too. Good luck, I know it will all go well 🤣❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
Awh, thank you, Mark. Your loving energy definitely supported the event. All went perfectly well and exceeded my humble expectations 💖
Yayyyy! That’s fantastic Erika. I’m very glad it went well and I hope everyone see’s the beauty and love in all you have created kind lady, especially those lovely heartfelt books 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅
That’s so very sweet of you to say, dear Mark, I hope you know how much this means to me 💖
You have stood in your hearts truth kind lady, dared to see the love that is you, and attracting accordingly. There are many steps down here, and many hard…but they are the one’s that dare us to see beyond it and find the love that we are. Your light sings kind lady… literally… and attracting us all to see what this light is out there in the darkness of life, and give hope to the many 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
Shine on Mark ✨🕊️🌟
I am not kidding but reading your words made my eyes watery. It took me a long time to find this light in me again, feeling its embracing love and power, and being granted to share what I have to share. Thank you for accompanying me on this journey… like attracts like… thank you for shining your light as a mutual inspiration!
Your right Erika, like does attract like. This journey brings together those moments to touch and understand in so many profound ways so that we can see that love within us. It may seemingly be a crazy world, but there is indeed a method to its madness. Anything that can give birth to a love inside us like that is most certainly worth each and every step we take kind lady. So I thank you for your lovely words, and I am glad we get to share this pathway for a time, be it a REASON, SEASON or LIFETIME. Thank you Erika, looking forward to many more steps 😀❤️🙏
“REASON, SEASON or LIFETIME” wonderfully phrased, Mark! We are aware of the gift and treasure each step. Thank you 💖
😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
I’m going to try once more to leave a comment. Fingers crossed it works. If not somehow you still know I care and am reading what you’ve written Mark…I’ve seen that saying before and loved it! So true. I’m very grateful for WP and all the people we have been so lucky to meet and share this journey with. Thanks for your friendship and may we all remain for a lifetime not just a season…..Be well Mark and enjoy the weekend… VK ❤️
Yayyy! You are indeed here and speaking beautifully kind lady. It had to work one day. Welcome aboard 🤣
They are indeed beautiful words, wise words to feel a truth behind what we face and see that we are indeed on the right path, bumpy though it may be. But empathy, compassion and love are built from these things VK, and give us the strength to understand and take one more step upon it.
And as you have said, all the people here are of like mind, even if many different paths. They build a belief and love within themselves and share here accordingly, as do you my friend.
Thank you for your friendship and sharing also, may we also continue that LIFETIME on this incredible path that is love. Take care and have a great weekend too kind lady 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
Thank you 🙏 I remember you sending this to me at a time last year when I desperately needed it. I don’t think I could hear it as clearly as I do now.
Changes are always happening- within and without. To see the beauty and understanding in them and the uncertainty of them…is a gift.
You are a gift my friend – thank you 🙏 💖💖🙏
Many thanks Danielle, your words gratefully received my friend. And too, a gift as you are also kind lady, thank you. Your work from that love found is a gift to so many others because of what you have found in your journey ❤️🙏 And those words that I wrote above, the Reason, Season or a Lifetime, do touch a place inside us. We can ‘feel’ their truth with the love that wrote them. It has much wisdom and a ‘knowing’ that others are exactly what we need so that we will look and see those parts that sometimes need a little adjustment. And sometimes very painfully…but they too are done with a great love so that we will see love’s beauty within us because of them. May the season gift you with that love found kind lady, it is ever unconditional, as is mine. Thank you 😀❤️🙏🎄🎅🎁🦌☃️
Mark, this is a wonderful post, perfect and timely with Christmas approaching. Love is all around us, yet we often are unaware of what’s right in front of us. We get caught up in “busy stuff” and let the long term issues go by the wayside. We’re all on a journey and it’s likely we have the same goal in sight.
You always have kind words to share with your readers, you’re always here to help anyone find their way. You have a good heart Mark. And it has to be a BIG heart because you welcome all of us in!
I join you in sending love and prayers to Karla to help her through this difficult journey. I was hoping someone in her family would send us an update using her blog post.
Merry Christmas Mark. Be a good boy because you never know who is watching and taking notes! I wish you good health, the love of family and friends, and an endless supply of chocolate!
Ginger
Haha, I didn’t think about the note takers Ginger. I don’t know how well I’ve hidden my stash of chocolate 🤣 I thank you for a great year of being there when I needed it most in my illness, being there to wash my mouth out playing at Pam’s place, and for the million bits of love you share in your words too kind lady. Thank you ❤️🙏
And yes, we do get a bit distracted by life, but that does have a purpose…until someone makes a racket to distract them from that. We will make this journey, once I saw that each step does indeed connect to a whole, it made life have a purpose instead of an unknown slog and gave great courage to continue on. We will get there kind lady, it is impossible to fail this life. It is so beautifully created so that we don’t. And in that I can only share what I found, something so beautiful that I could not but share it 😀
And a big yes about Karla, I do hope she is going well. I have no doubt it has been a big journey and pray it has healed a heart and she is sitting in the sun having a coffee with Finn on her lap 😀
Oh, almost forgot…Merry Christmas Ginger to you and yours, may that love of life be that gift to you all 😀❤️🙏
Thank you for sharing your heart. You matter 🥰
As you do also Linda, sharing your heart in those lovely verses to bring that smile within. Thank you and have a great Christmas also kind lady 😀❤️🙏
Same, Mark! 💗 I feel your heart is an examined one, you’ve been through so much and that’s how you came to your understanding and wisdom. I honor your path and I thank you for including me in your lifetime! 💗 I am so grateful for your connection, especially this month. Whether on the other side of the planet or not, you are close to my heart! Be well! Merry Christmas to you! We here celebrate all the holidays and it’s a great grace to be able to be here. Hugs and love! May you always know the love you ARE. 💗
Thank you very much Ka. It has indeed been an interesting journey kind lady, to help find that love within me. And we do all have our many paths to do that, meeting lovely people who test us in so many ways. But the most profound part was in being unsure or lost for so long and suddenly coming face to face with me, finally understanding that everything is in place as it should be so that we will find that purpose we all seek. Many conditions we place on ourselves in a very natural process, so that we will understand and see it all at that destiny it creates. And we are creating that very thing , not seeing the forest for the tree’s type thing in the beginning. But one day we will have wings and finally see it all in all its glory. Very glad to be sharing this path kind lady, and appreciative of your kind words. Big hugs and a thank you returned in kind 😀❤️🙏
