So many issues today, weddings, deaths, and then there are our own lives that we must also deal with. From the last post I got a message of depression. I had been depressed for the past two years and amazingly enough thought that it was my job. Well, that depression has been lifted. Now it is my place of residence............. But, if I analyze this enough I will find that it doesn't matter who or where I live I must still learn tolerance.

So let's discuss the depression. My depression is caused by my refusal to accept there are times I must let go of issues and move on. I worry about hurting someone's feelings or think I have failed at something so I refuse to give up until the horse is so beaten and dead there isn't anything left but dust. I beat myself while I am beating the horse. Today, I was told to let go of something. To bless it and let it go. The minute I thought about that I immediately felt better. My headache started to clear and my mood started to lift. It's hard for me to let go because that means someone can say, "I was right, and you were wrong, but you never would listen to me", and GODDESS how I hate that. So, I bless the "I was right" in addition to the issue I need to let go of. Maybe I won't hear it any more.

There is another issue that I have come to realize. I have a dear friend for over 10 years now. Sad life, total catastrophy with every move. I have gotten myself in financial hot water because I let my feelings of pity get the best of me. I was sucked in. Is this were you are? Are you the victim of energy being robbed? your life source? Have you given it freely in the past and didn't realize where it would lead? Then you are depressed because of the situation you are in? I have recently worked with someone that does healing energy, and searches your energy and spirit for what and why. Going back to when I was five years old and knowing the block, where to start, how to analyze where my issues. It has helped me move forward.  This woman has a great talent.  Ask Spirit for someone like this to come forward for you and you will be amazed at what will pop up.

So........depression is the subject.  How do you try to deal with it?  I suggest you try to find the source.  You may be afraid to look at the source which is a vicious cycle.  You have to look at the source, you have to resolve it.  You have to pull the source out of you, and bless it out to the unniverse and let it come back as only feelings of love and joy.  Sounds like bullshit doesn't it?  Well, until you have had this done to you and have felt the pull you shouldn't say bullshit.  It is an awesome feeling.

Now as to the comment about living to such an wise old age ..................I'm younger than you think, duckie!  <VB WINK>  Seriously, my soul is old but my body is getting there.  My children maybe in their teens but one has an older soul than mine.  I was chosen for their birth because I would allow them to be acknowledged, and supported with their talent.  I support any and all places in their lives.  Right now we are going through some snippy stages.  I've threatened to get a 2x4 but I have faith the spiritual side will show one of these days.

I have been asked where I got the name Wise Old Crone................  Let's just say I am comfortable with the name.  I have lived a significant time, I feel that my lessons learned in life have given me a significant amount of knowledge.  Crone is a wiccan name for someone that is wise and people look up to.  A Crone plays an important part of rituals in a coven.  But that is not why I chose Crone as the last part of my name.  I chose it because it is my way of being funny, it is like a pagan yenta.  That's me, through and through. 

I've had some powerful experiences lately.  Some of them are deeply spiritual and have given me insight to my recent health issues.  I am currently exploring some methods on meditation and Spirit is taking me to another level......

Some of you may not understand why your "levels" aren't happening.  I will ask you this?  Do you like who you are?  That is the first step.  Without the first step we can't take a second or a third...  So when you tell me that you cannot focus on your inner spiritual goals I would like to know if YOU know who you are and are happy with YOU.

I would love to hear comments, no matter how depressing you might feel you may have to be to make them.  I also would like to know WHY you feel that way.  And to all of you out there that have spiritual guidance to share - please step in with comments to the comments. 

So, let's see how far we can go and how many enlightenments we can have and share................

Am I the only one that seeks a simple time, no complications, no major rush to contend with?  I want to enjoy my toes in the sand at the Pier House in Key West.  I want to sit out by the pool sipping on my rum runner without having to give much thought to anything in life.  I wish for simple times and simple solutions.

I wish for my friends to have uncomplicated lives, to know they are loved, to understand that what other people think is irrelivant.  I want them to know that I love them with all of my heart and I cherish their thoughts and feelings. 

Blessings to all this week.  Don't let some babble brain idled twit steal your calm.  Swat at them as if they were a fruit knat. 

HUGS. WOC

Today was a total under the covers with a hugging my heating pad kinda day.  Dreary, rainy, miserable, cold.  I am so grateful I had no where to go of consequence.  

I watched movies and didn't crawl out of bed except to do the daily obvious.  Braveheart was on.  What an awesome representation of fighting for what you believe in.  Of course we know that William Wallace was a renegade, but to what magnitude - only those that lived the true story know.  We presume that the movie is true, we presume that illusions that are created for us in Hollywood are very true. 

The truth is something we need to find on our own, for each of us.  It isn't in what I tell you, or what you read, but what you experience in your life and what you believe to be true.

Depression and sadness are not my choice for a state of mind.  Peace of mind, and happiness are my choice, I choose not to ignore them. 

I also choose the right to hunker down in my blankie and keep warm and cozy.

The Truth be told, the Truth come forth
Take away her fear, and show her worth
Spirit, guide her words
ensure their strength
let no one doubt
for any's sake
We ask for an answer that will free
and give the strength to all who see

Dear Spirit - we thank you in your answer you are about to bestow
Blessed be to all of thee, blessings to be bestowed times three.

Send guides to all those that worry
keep them safe from those that threaten and keep secrets
Take their troubles and bring them to an end. 

SVBJC will be resolved and the truth to be known. 

Keep one safe that feels foreboding, bring her peace and show her what she fears, with a heart that will not fear, so that she can fear no more.  Spirit will protect, always.
