and I am having thoughts of Betty joyfully swimming in the ocean of infinity for her well-deserved rest from this life... smiling.. free... unencumbered... swimming... floating... swirling...
feeling pity for us, still here. I personally feel her loud encouragement to never forget why I came... "stop at nothing in gaining and cultivating the experience of deep communion (spiritual awareness) with the only One who goes with us when body passes from this earth..."
Betty was delightfully simple and grounded. I remember her share,
"'I can't. God can. I'll let Him.' is the first three steps in a nutshell," she wrote.
I use it often with gratitude, Betty... still with us because we work a spiritual program.. to me, she is actually more near than ever, we know what she would tell us.

oh yes. When I returned from a week in the wild (no wifi!) and saw subject Betty's funeral.... I had a vision of lit candles. Betty's was the big one which had been used to light all of ours. She was a steady example of living life after finding help. She worked hard at these principles. To me, that's how it's done.
I will gratefully enjoy the light she provides.
Lovely, lovely share 2HP - thank you! I also woke up with fond thoughts and visions related to this portion of Betty's journey! I'm not sure if it's because today is the service celebrating her life or if that was the nudged thoughts coming from my HP - no matter - it was peaceful and enjoyable.
I too will grateful enjoy the light Betty provides! A big 'amen' to celebrating her, her spirit, her unconditional love for all of us and most importantly, her never-ending patience and kindness. Love and Light to all!
