As my friend Jen & I sat down to breakfast I announced that there were 6 books* I want to read. And that I wanted them as gifts. One that we discussed for a while was Pronoia. Moments later I turned on my computer and there was a note for me on facebook.... a excerpt from a friend (thanks Sunny) from the book Pronoia!!! Get outta here. There were so many lines that moved me. This one in particular:
"enough organic soup and ice cream to feed all the refugees"
Just as I was finishing the poem Jen & I received a text from our friend who is a hospice nurse. Saying that one of her patients had died and how spiritual the experience was. We were moved to tears. I usually ring chimes when someone crosses over. I looked up and noticed I was facing the back door and saw that Jen had a chime hanging there. I moved my hand across it and suddenly noticed the shade of green around the door (the same shade as my ice cream company). I smiled and happened to look left then saw, through the window, chimes in the neighbor's yard that were the same shade of green AND lavender (the other color of my company). My smile widened. I remembered having a thought over a year ago to "GIVE AWAY" my ice cream. That thought came back again just about a month ago while I was in NYC. I began to cry and fell back in the chair. I felt the power of this message and the divine timing of it all. I felt like it was time to step up and step into something bigger. I sat up, looked left towards the chimes again and saw ALL 8 strands of discs (now moving wildly in the wind & reflecting the light of the sun)! I smiled again & said "OK."
This is all very fascinating to me because just yesterday I was saying to Jen that I am at a crossroads with the ice cream company. And was wondering how I could combine it with my physical philanthropy project.
Crazy right? ;D

you are a are beautiful person. thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing and for being part of. I remember the night as you "walked me to his door" when I was scared and sad. You said take a moment after you get off the phone with me and set intentions of peace and ease before entering. I did envisioned exactly that.
The treatment I was scared and sad to perform wasn't necessary and he gently slipped into a coma....so peaceful, easeful, and beautiful. What could have ended in a distressful, painful death was one of the most gently, loving deaths I have attended.
Thank you for being with me...for walking me to the door and reminding me to center in peace.
I've been listening to Archtypes by Caroline Myss. She was talking about philanthropists and I immediatly thought of you (funny you mention it now). She spoke of how sharing laughter and love is philanthropy--you share yourself in such beautiful ways and increase the abundance of love and goodness on the earth.
Love you and so honored to call you friend.
Thank you. I am very proud and moved by the service work you do. I know you are great comfort to many in their last moments.
