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

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.)

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

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.

© 2020 Lillian D. Henderson
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.

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.

WHAT NOT TO DO:
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 know so many of us are feeling overwhelmed right now. We have to find ways to return to center and keep going. I sat on the ground tonight with my dog and connected to the earth, breathing slowly and mindfully. Find what calms you and practice it. Stay strong. You're not alone.
Seek solace in what is sacred to you. —Diana Henderson

We shall yet see better days than these,
And times will come that bear the pleasing semblance
Of brightness.
A song in the bones
Will yet call you to the dance
As voices unite
And dreams come to life
Past the weary man’s strife
And the loneliness of night....

We shall yet see better days than these, And times will come that bear the pleasing semblance Of brightness. A song in the bones Will yet call you to the dance As voices unite And dreams come to life Past the weary man’s strife And the loneliness of night. We shall yet see better days than these, For every heart holds the keys to redemption Through the gates of love, That finest of cures That lives in the pure, quiet place— Just here— Beyond the grief and shadow In the hollow Of the chest Wherein nests the dove of peace In the sunlight of joy, Held safe from the world Until that tomorrow When we shall see better days than these. —Diana Henderson © 2020 Lillian D.

When you purchase a novel, you’re buying more than a story. You’re getting a writer’s sweat, tears, and time—all the hours of weaving and wondering, imagining and telling, the seemingly endless rewrites and edits, the frequent frustration in search of the perfect word, phrase, paragraph, or plot twist, the moments of reflection, the periods spent falling in love with characters, exploring their foibles and flairs, the angst over causing harm to those beloved imaginary friends that live and breathe in the writer’s mind. Neatly tucked between the covers of that book, you’ll find a writer’s dreams and love and truth and hopes on display for the world to see. Poured into each page are the priceless echoes of a soul and the unscripted longing of a heart. —Diana Henderson, author of Gathering of Angels, the first volume in The Michael Saga, and Grandfather Poplar, and Archangel Book of Days

Envision his own followers calling for his impeachment or, better yet, demanding a presidential recall election. Dream it. See it. Feel it. #RecallElection #Impeachment
I know some of us are feeling overwhelmed, lost, angry, fearful, and in pain because our empathy pathways have been inundated far beyond capacity. When I remember to go into my heartspace and connect more fully with my spirit, hope returns. Sanity returns. And I begin to see more clearly. Consider this: Thanks to his own actions, his followers and devotees will slowly but steadily begin to see the truth. Some already are. Most are still entrenched in the lies that blind them and deny them the chance to face truth. But as months pass, their devotion will waver, their view of him will begin to crumble, and their personal experiences will cause them to turn against him with the same level of vehemence they once had devoted to adoring him. When it happens, he and his cronies will be gone from Washington for good. I believe that although our efforts will certainly matter in holding things together in the short run, in the end we will not be the ones who bring him down. They will. The ones who believed and adored him, who bought his lies and his bibles, will turn against him and, with one powerful blow, will end his time at the helm. If we can hold on, keep fighting for good and living our light, we will watch it unfold. More every day, he is planting the seeds of his destruction. Believe it.

Every day, with every horrific act and pronouncement, he is hastening the end of his time in office. Those who put him there will wake up when they experience his actions firsthand, when it affects their own lives.
Reminder: Instead of viewing January 20 as the beginning of his term, imagine it as the beginning of the end of his time in power. Envision him and all his cronies being booted out of office as the American people see the whole truth and rise up to reclaim their humanity.

"Every soul who walks the Earth encounters periods of strife or challenge and moments when hope falters. The angels invite you to rekindle your most cherished hopes and form them into the hallowed words of the heart. Speak them to Spirit with a love so powerful that no illusion or shadow can block the truth of your intentions. Joyfully accept your prayer as the reality that over lights your being now and builds the dream you hold dear. Today, sound the horn of hope to light the path for self and for all who seek enlightenment." —excerpt from Archangel Book of Days by Diana Henderson

Join Earthjustice Town Hall on Monday, 1/27: act.earthjustice.org/a/post-inaug...
#Earthjustice #ProtectthePlanet
EARTHJUSTICE TOWN HALL MEETING ONLINE As many of you probably know, among 45's first actions/excutive orders in office were the following: Proclaiming a sweeping “national emergency” on energy prices designed to expand onshore and offshore oil drilling and fossil fuel extraction, increase drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and greenlight immediate fracked gas exports. Withdrawing from the Paris agreement on climate change. Rescinding California’s ability to restrict emissions from cars, light trucks and other polluting fossil-fuel motors, as well as rescinding EPA auto emissions and Department of Transportation fuel economy standards that address the largest sector of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. (—Center for Biological Diversity) Halting offshore wind leasing on the Continental Shelf and prohibiting "new or renewed permits, leases, and loans for wind energy projects, both onshore and offshore." (WRAL-News) Signing an executive order "promising to eliminate what he incorrectly labels “the electric vehicle mandate” imposed under former President Joe Biden." (PBS) From Earthjustice: "On the heels of Inauguration Day, we are poised to fight the new administration on multiple fronts. Earthjustice sued the first Trump administration more than 200 times and won 85% of those cases — and we're ready to do it again. Trump is more prepared this time, but so are we. Join Earthjustice President Abigail Dillen and Senior Vice President of Programs Sam Sankar to hear our plan for the first 100 days of the new administration and the actions we're already taking to protect the health of frontline communities, wildlife, and our shared climate future. We are more than ready for the next four years. Join us." Monday, January 27, 2025 11:30 a.m. PT | 2:30 p.m. ET The link to sign up is included below in comments.
