The night after Dolly died, a yellow butterfly flew across the Opry stage. Famous singer/songwriter Ward Davis says there was no butterfly handler backstage at the Opry that night. He watched Mae Estes sing Dolly's "Coat of Many Colors" on Wednesday, one night after Dolly died, and a big yellow butterfly flew across that stage. It was not a prop. Nobody released it. His words were that it was just God and Dolly and Mae Estes all getting together at the Grand Ole Opry. The butterfly was Dolly's symbol her whole life. It was on her clothes, her jewelry, her album covers. She wrote that song in 1969 on Porter Wagoner's tour bus, on the back of a dry cleaning receipt from one of his suits.

Once again, immediately following a private-ish conversation about ages and aging, something popped up that is right in line with the topic. Can't wait to hear your perspectives and thoughts on this.

Have you ever had an unexplained shiver run down your spine and joked that “someone just walked over my grave”? Folklore says that when you get that sudden shudder, someone is literally stepping on the exact patch of earth where you'll be buried one day. Pretty eerie🙄 So we were just discussing past lives on another thread here a day or two ago and then I came across this image. It got me thinking more about reincarnation, alongside well-known superstition. What if a sudden chill for no reason isn't a being or even a ghost stepping on your future grave, but a tremor from your past? If our souls have lived multiple lives, the earth already holds the remnants of who we were. Let me know what you think.

Well, I can't believe we're in August and looking at how many weeks of summer we have left in the northern hemisphere. What is your summer vibe? What's happening in your world? I'm rather low key at the moment. I'm churning out little projects for this community and also for the Magic Mama community, but it's going slower than I would like. Lots of projects are waiting in my notebook - giving me the side eye LoL. Maybe it's because of all the afternoons I spend sitting on the patio with a book and soaking in the sun and fresh air 🌞. I'd love to hear what all of you are up to🌸 Our amazing @Amy Wilhelm has a Summer Skool running at her community Moonlight and Middle Fingers. Check the latest Cosmic Winks post for details. (Cosmic Wink Goody-bag). I'm working on some new content for us here, and outlining some new videos, and planning out with @Rita Christine Brooks a lovely little group meditation for us - to be announced shortly. Later this morning I am going to bake a fresh peach pie as I have an online friend I've never met in person coming for a back porch visit. Does peach pie go with chilled white wine? I hope so 😊 So, what are YOU up to?
