It’s been a year…
Sometimes when I am down, I ask spirit for a message and sometimes I ask a specific question. It is now a year since the week we shut down for the Coronavirus Pandemic. I read on my Facebook page that I had been planning to take my son and his friends to Disneyland to celebrate his birthday on March 14. We shut down on Friday, March 13. We did not make it to Disneyland and in fact, Disneyland is still closed. I was feeling angry and sad about having a whole year spent on lockdown. So I asked spirit about it and here is the answer.
Question: What do I need to know about the pandemic and the whole last year?
Answer from Spirit: Hello. What you need to know about the entire last year is that it was not a waste of time. Far from it. There is nothing you need to regret. There is nothing to be sad about. You spent the year with your family. You engaged with each other on a much deeper level than you would have had this not occurred. You took care of your family. You loved more deeply than you have ever done so. You made hard choices. You did the right thing. You stayed safe. You took care of each other. You taught your son about resilience. You taught your son what to do when faced with adversity and sadness and not knowing what is coming next. You showed your inner light to him and to your husband. You lit the way and sometimes your son and your husband would hold the light when you got tired.
You all helped each other through a rough time--maybe one of the roughest for you all. But as you can see there is light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, you are much closer to the end of all of this than you can see. The light is much closer. The lightness you are beginning to feel will just increase. It will take time for all to heal from this experience but the darkness has now passed. We are on to a much more positive phase now. This is all good. There will be many lessons learned from this past year--much of which might not even be apparent now. The world, the countries, the people will all have learned much about our roles with each other and our role in taking care of this world. We have a responsibility as global citizens to care for each other and for this big blue marble we live on. You may not see it but many people have woken up to the reality of this world they find themselves in. They need to see it as it truly stands--not as they wish it to be. This is the first step towards healing each other and healing the world. Do you see it? Yes, it is good.
