Encouragement For Our Dear Friend

Posted by Xena

Today, I was going to blog about the officer indicted for killing Akai Gurley. Months ago, I started a project to report on employment cases filed in federal courts. I was going to spend some time on that today.

That has now changed.

A dear friend and supporter of this blog needs lifting up. Butterflydreamer2 has shared what is happening with her medically. Right now, nothing else matters. She is close to us in spirit and mind, and I want the best for her.

Like caterpillars going through transformation, she is cocooned in a situation. We cannot let her feel that she is alone. We can’t go through the struggle for her, but we can be with her every step of the way. She has endured and broken free from the cocoons that face us in life, and she has gathered strength in her wings. We look forward that she does that again.

Someone once said, ““Just when the caterpillar thought “I am incapable of moving, it became a butterfly.”

We are a collective family whether we’ve been here since day 1 or if you have comfortably meshed with the rest along our way. Everyone here is so precious and dedicated to the cause in our own way.

Butterflydreamer2 you are loved and cherished. Keep us all in your pocket as you go through your journey and allow us to hold your hand and heart figuratively as you do.

Xena, banana baby food sounds good to me, lol……..Someone in the hospital gave me a chocolate ensure, and it was pretty good.

  Butterflydreamer,
  If I were physically close to you, I would bring over banana baby food, chocolate ensure, and PJs. We would have a pajama party and make toasts with our Ensure.

        If everybody had an ocean
        Across the U. S. A.
        Then everybody’d be surfin’
        Like Californi-a….

Hi Butterflydreamer…just checking in on you tonight. 🙂

If I were a guardian angel I would watch over you tonight
Gathering magical stars to fill your spirit and make your heart bright
Finding your favorite notes to make smiling melodies of delight
And whispering gentle and soul-glowing words that shine a beautiful light.

And so as I am sitting at the beach this morning,Brother Daniel and Brother Michael, come serenade me with their guitars. They look like the long haired hippies from the 70’s, the kind I would have gone for. LOL. They both said a prayer for me and the mr., said I am not going anywhere.

Its sun warmed breezes gently flowing though your being
Its sand softening your daily steps.

Sleep well, dear Butterflydreamer.

Hey, Butterflydreamer ….wake up for a minute 🙂

Maybe we should all paint our fingernails with butterfly motifs. Look at all of the possibilities at this link:

Of course, this one would be too difficult for me to do:
