we (my hubby and me) have been bagging up my moms clothes .. sending off various peices of furniture that dont serve us and im crying up a storm over my mom and dad

my brothers and sissters are harassing me over every little thing i give away ..giving it tosomeone i think that can use it rather than worry over what bit of a buck i can get for it

nobody in my family gets it ..they are so $$$ orientated.

le sigh ..le sad sad smiley

Oh, mirror in the sky
What is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

So sorry Jo. That is the worst tragedy, when the people who are still here waste their time on bullsh!t. Stay with your positive memories of your folks as you sort through all that old stuff, let it be a source of good feelings (including the sad one, those are good too).

I'm so sorry your brothers and sisters have their values so out of joint. Your strength and beauty of doing the right thing are a role model to them of how to be loving and human - even if they don't seem to take any notice now.

Know that there are many people here who support you and send their love your way.

Jodi,

So sorry. Please ignore the B.S. and focus on your feelings about your parents and on keeping those feelings happy. Hugs.

I am glad you're feeling better. It's difficult belonging to the same "blood" and being so different. But feel compassion for them--they know not what they do. You would think that "death" (I like 'transition') would shake them out of the illusion of worldliness and money-grubbing but nope. Doesn't always go down like that. Have a great week!smiling smiley

Oh I know how you are feeling. I still think of my sister and mom and that I wish it could have lasted longer since we were all having such a good time.

Stuff is stuff is just more stuff. Some people don't grasp the concept that the more you give away the more you get back in lots of ways.

I'm glad you are enthusiastic and optimistic once again.

Love,
Prism

Hey jodi...

just remember that you true Self is not not taking the hit here.

its easy to be thrown off guard by the ego personality....and to identify with the the offense.

it ain't you who is gettin hit with the garbage..its just that sneaky ego making a big deal about it.

true Self cannot possibly consider this to be an offense...true Self is invincible to the ego games which are endlessw.

let your true energy pussate with your being.

happy valentines day.
