I've been quiet here for months. It's been a tough year for an empath. So much suffering. I'm still here and send love to those who continue to stand in the light. 🩵💙

Let the waters of light wash over and through you. Let fear dissolve and melt into the unending river of love. Water shapes and smooths even the most jagged stone. Become the flow. Live the light. Change the world.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate it, and harmonious Earth Day on the 22nd!
“Every life you encounter—human, animal, plant, mineral—has consciousness and spirit. All are a part of the beautiful, blesséd creation known as planet Earth. Treat them tenderly. Offer compassion whenever possible. Recognize your kinship with all creatures. Bless each soul you pass along the highway of life.” —Archangel Book of Days: A Year of Inspiration and Blessings by Diana Henderson

See ALT text of the photo (too long to post).
As we move through these times, we have a choice from moment to moment to lose ourselves and align with shadow or to stand in the light of truth, wisdom, love, and honor. We walk a fine line. We must stay informed and take appropriate action while maintaining our inner compass and choosing to remain true to the light of our spirits. As MLK Jr. said long ago, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." My darling and I try hard to remember that and keep ourselves aligned with love. Sometimes we fail entirely, but then we pick ourselves up and heed the call of the heart. We seek out moments of joy, usually with our animal companions and/or in nature, because it's all too easy to get burned out by the onslaught of what is happening. Without love and joy, the path becomes murky and too hard to navigate, so we look for those small moments when we can embrace the light of our true selves and expand into that essence. There's a lot going on in our lives, including my mother recovering from a stroke and then carotid stent surgery and his best friend of 50+ years going into hospice as of Thursday. Of course, we have our own physical and emotional challenges, so he makes sure to practice mindfulness and go to his Saturday morning online sangha every week, and I do my art and meditate as often as I can. Music reminds us of better days; it sparks hope and awakens inner truth. We find solace in the small miracles that might go unobserved if we stop paying attention. A carpenter bee buzzed me repeatedly this afternoon. A gorgeous dragonfly, the first I've seen this season, hovered near me at length. We both noticed a plump and happy songbird preening outside the kitchen window. We are grateful for the signs that serve to remind us to be who we are and live our light even in such times.

Can someone foster this precious girl so Perfectly Imperfect Pups can pull her from the shelter?! She was adopted, starved, and returned to the shelter! Fill out a foster form at pipsrescue.org/foster-a-pip/
FOSTER NEEDED! In today’s “what is wrong with people” moment... This sweet girl was adopted from the shelter in August — and just returned completely emaciated from neglect. Despite everything she’s been through, she is still incredibly loving, both with people and other dogs. She urgently needs to get out of the shelter so she can start healing. She deserves a warm home, a full belly (preferably filled with about 5,000 cheeseburgers!), and a second chance at life. She’s about 2.5 years old, dog-friendly, people-friendly, and simply needs someone to open their heart and home to her. If you can foster, please apply at pipsrescue.org/foster. Let's show her what true love feels like. (Photo: Her condition when she left the shelter vs. now.)

President Trump just fired almost the entire staff of the CFPB, who protect you from getting scammed by Wall Street.

This is another assault on consumers and our democracy by Trump's lawless Administration.

We will fight back with everything we've got.

Deep within, silence falls. Spirit calls.
Time to rise and stand tall.

We shall not falter.
We will not fade.
Harvest sweetgrass and begin to braid.

We will not give in to circumstance.
Grandmother Earth beckons us to the dance.

Now the rainbow warriors begin to awake In these days of shadow and heartache. Deep within, silence falls as Spirit calls. It's time to rise and stand tall. We shall not falter. We will not fade. Harvest sweetgrass and begin to braid. We will not give in to circumstance. Grandmother Earth beckons us to the dance. The ancestors speak deep into the night. Hold strong. Do not submit to fright. Remember the way of truth and grace, Grow your roots strong within this place. In your heart lives the sacred space Where love alone may leave its trace. —Diana Henderson ©️ 2025 Lillian D. Henderson

The SAVE Act doesn’t save anything. Its main effect is to make it harder for women to vote, especially those like me who changed our names when we married.

I wrote this during the final year of 45's first term. May we shine so much love and truth into this world that nothing can stand against it.

When the clouds shine like a sea of gold, I recall stories Grandmother told Of a time to come when the world would shift, And through great sorrow we would find our gifts. And the rainbow warriors would awake In those days of shadow and heartache. They would discover the way to break The illusion's spell of take, take, take. They would lead us to a finer way; From the noble road never to stray. So beneath those golden clouds I pray May that light dwell in me today. —Diana Henderson, author of Grandfather Poplar, The Michael Saga, and Archangel Book of Days © 2020 Lillian D.

I cut my teeth on mythology, reading Edith Hamilton in the fourth grade. As an English major, I walked with many characters as they descended into the Underworld. That's the part of the story we're living now, but that is never where it ends. Each of us will find the path out of the shadowlands.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.

I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

My latest poem
In these shattered times When nothing seems to rhyme, I'll still seek to be The grace you gave to me, The hope that sets me free, The love and harmony You taught me how to be. Though sometimes hope seems gone, I'll still sing your song And fight to carry on, To live the light you've shone. Even if I shine alone, I'll try to right the wrong In the love where I belong, In the truth that makes me strong, Where you've been all along. —Diana Henderson Copyright 2025 Lillian D. Henderson

24-Hour Economic Blackout
Friday, February 28, from 12 midnight to 11:59 p.m.
For one day, we show them who really holds the power.

Do not make any purchases.
Do not shop online or in-store. No Amazon, No Walmart, No Best Buy! Nowhere!

24-Hour Economic Blackout As our first initial act, we turn it off. For one day, we show them who really holds the power. WHEN: Friday, February 28, from 12 midnight to 11:59 p.m. WHAT NOT TO DO: Do not make any purchases. Do not shop online or in-store. No Amazon, No Walmart, No Best Buy! Nowhere! Do not spend money on: Fast Food Gas Major Retailers Do not use credit or debit cards for non-essential spending. WHAT YOU CAN DO: Only buy essentials of absolutely necessary (food, medicine, emergency supplies). If you must spend, ONLY support small, local businesses. SPREAD THE MESSAGE Talk about it, post about it, and document your actions that day! WHY THIS MATTERS! Corporations and banks only care about their bottom line. If we disrupt the economy for just ONE day, it sends a powerful message. If they don't listen (they won't), we make the next blackout longer. (We will.) This is our first action. This is how we make history. February 28: The 24 Hour Economic Black Out Begins. Courtesy of The Problem with Jon Stewart

A friend who lives 20 minutes from me just posted this, and I'm in tears. Good people who paid taxes and contributed to their community and loved this country are being taken because of evil immigration policies.
Oh my God, it's happening here. My husband and I decided to get lunch from an established and well loved grocery, take out counter, and pastries place after seeing numerous recommendations on Cary pages about how good they are. I pulled up at the same time as a very large food product delivery truck. The driver and I approached the door at the same time, to discover that the windows and door had all been covered in black plastic along with a sign saying that it was closed due to "immigration" issues. The driver had to go back to his truck and figure out what to do with all the food that would not be delivered there today. I got back in my car and literally burst into tears, thinking about the hard-working men and women who worked there, and the good service they had provided to our town. This feels so horribly wrong. 😭

‪I refuse to allow my heart to be full of anger and hatred.

I refuse to become what they want me to be.

I refuse to allow them to win this way.

Instead:

I will shine my loving light upon everyone I meet.

I will serve and rebel from a loving heart.
