Love Letter to Life 11.24.2024 Lean Into Love

Dear Life, We are entering the season of holidays. I enjoy this time of year, the gatherings, festivities, displays of lights and big bouncing Santas and decorations beginning to show up everywhere. These are outward signs of people sharing their gratitude, joy, and hope. I am conscious that we bear the challenges of living. I am grateful that when we come together in community, we lighten the weight of our individual burdens. Spirit connection leads to love and love is greater than darkness. Lean into the light of love with me today.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 11.11.2024 Remembrance

Dear Life, This FB message popped up yesterday to remind me that three years ago I underwent Stem Cell Transplant. It was the most difficult and extensive treatment I’ve had to date. Dr. Tees had challenging news: “The transplant didn’t work. The cancer is still there.” I am still here against all odds. There have been miracles and dark passages along this journey, too many to be told in this brief letter. But Life, you keep on giving me hope and energy and reasons to live. Here’s to You on this day of remembrance.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 11.08.2024 Daily Practices

Dear Life, Daily practices help me move forward especially during challenging times: prayer and meditation, reading, writing and painting, being of service to others, washing the dishes, making the bed, watering and talking to the indoor plants (they are great listeners), house cleaning, organizing art supplies, walking and seeing the beauty around me, being present, smiling at the cashier, giving a hug to someone. Feel the light of faith within and be in the spirit of hope. Practice gratitude. I love you.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
