My Beautiful Sister, Meredith lost her battle with cancer today at 1:35 this morning. She was a funny, creative strong person. She loved animals more that My dear sister, Meredith Tomlinson, transitioned this morning at 1:15. Meredith was a smart, creative, funny and smart. I was blessed to have her as a sister and friend. Please send thoughts and prayers of light and wishes for a peaceful transition. She leaves behind Mark, her husband of 25+ years, 4 beloved dogs (Trapper, Warlock, Lillie and Baby Taz) and a great cat, Caruso (who she and her husband adopted from their toolshed). I will miss her terribly, but send her love and light as she continues on her journey. YourPrayers, love and light are most appreciated.

A FOND GOODBY

I am sitting at my computer as sad as I can remember ever being. My 22 1/2 year old cat, Jasmine Lily (aka ‘Catsup Bottle’) lies under my computer desk sleeping heavily. The vet will be here in about 30 minutes to euthanize her. For over 21 years, this been a constant source of joy, exasperation, worry and enjoyment. She has been my friend and confidant during the entire period. She has seen me through job change, suicide of a relative, terminal cancer of another relative and so much more. I have been there for her during melanoma in the eyes, renal failure, disappearing for a week, jumping on the stove and catching on fire and so much more. She and I have been each other’s best friend. About a month ago noticed that she was having little twitches (almost like mini seizures) which seemed to come and go. About a week ago she started having tooth trouble and was unable to eat or drink anything.
Now we are at a point where she cannot eat without pain, she hides under a computer desk, where she sleeps a lot.
I was told that there was no guarantee that anything else could be done. Oh we could try different antibiotics, but it might not work. Why would I want to put my dearest friend and confidant through any more trauma? So when the vet mentioned that perhaps euthanasia might be near, I knew respect for Jasmine, dictated that twas the best solution. , I knew it was important to spend some alone time with my pal. I sat on the floor next to the computer table she was lying under. I gently stroked her matted fur, listening to soft classical music and thanking her for all she’d meant to me. The Dr. arrived about 20 minutes later. We talked,and he told me what to expect. I asked if it would be ok to hold her while he administered the medication. One shot would relax and make her feel wonderful, then the other would put her to sleep He said it would be up to her whether she wanted me to. She did. Picking her up and taking her to the couch, I sat there gently stroking her, cradling her. About 10 minutes later it was over. I now had different options about what I wanted to do with the ashes. But Jasmine is headed to a farm in the mountains where she will mix in with the soil and have a wonderful country life. As for me, I will rejoice, knowing I was instrumental in allowing her new adventure, but at the same I will miss her terribly. Farewell dear Jasmine Lily (also known as ‘Catsup Bottle’. You will be missed.

All Is Well!

Nothing needs to be fixed. Everything is unfolding perfectly. So when you stand in your now accepting that all is well, then from that vibration, you become surrounded by more and more evidence that all is well. — Abraham

The Two Wolves – what ‘unknown’ has to say…

Fredda — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 03:07:49 +0000

An old Cherokee was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said, “A battle is raging inside me – it is a terrible fight between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”

The old man looked at the children with a firm stare. “This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too.”

They thought about it for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee replied: “The one you feed.”

Focus on What You Want

Here’s a quote by Abraham-Hicks I really like.
Tell it like it is- if you like it like it is. But if you don’t like it like it is tell it like you want it to be. If you do this long enough, you will begin to feel it like you want it to be, and when you feel it like you want it to be, it’s like you want it to be.

Deliberate Attraction

Fredda — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 07:05:39 +0000

As you think it, you can be it.
Allow your imagination to expand to what you desire to manifest.
Allow a feeling of joy to permeate your soul every time you think of your goal (use a pleasant memory if necessary to create this)
Doing this will create the thought processes (and resulting) behavior, which will allow what your desires to manifest.

Happy New Years!
Here’s an idea: As close to midnight (2012) as you can get, list three things you have accomplished in 2011.
Then list three things you intend to do in 2012. This is a great way to set your energy for 2012

A Good Reminder

Today, I can see that by keeping people at a distance I also keep God at a distance, for it is true that God comes to me through people.
