As I sat in the funeral hall, reconnecting with childhood friends and family from another lifetime, I was reminded of how precious life is, and you never know when the last time will be, that you will see them in physical form again. My mother's best friend since elementary school, I have known Sheila my entire life. One of the first adults I met after my parents. This woman was one of my greatest cheerleaders, the embodiment of divine feminine, preschool teacher and girl guide mentor for decades. As a shamanic practitioner, I understand she is right there and has already made connection with me in the other realm...but...witnessing her children suffer with the shock of her quick passing...it reminds me that not all humans life the way I do. Today my heart grieves for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. My tears may come...but today my heart is full of love and connection as she chatters away, full of joy. Thank you Sheila, for modelling what unconditional love and acceptance looks like ❤️‍🔥 Thank you for your honorable place now, in my spiritual care team 🌈
