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 08.28.2024 Mother’s Funeral, Cancer Treatments, and Moving

Dear Life, I signed a lease for a condo in Santa Fe. I get the keys Sep 1st. Cancer treatments and medical appointments fill the calendar until Sep11th. I fly to CT Sep 12 -17 for our mother’s funeral. Mover’s are booked for Sep 19th. Yesterday I had the thought, “I am at a breaking point”. The feeling passed. I went to bed at 9:30pm exhausted. Woke at 5:00am feeling rested. An hour at a time, life is manageable. The grief waves through me. The high tide of feelings recede. Life is a process of surfing.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
