Hello my friends! I hope you are all well and tending yourselves well, and finding “islands of sanity” (and maybe being “islands of sanity” in your own unique way and times and spaces).
It’s been quite a full year (then again, which recent year hasn’t, in its ways, been just that?). It’s cider and harvest-market time, here in the Northeastern U.S., which is wonderful and gratitude-stirring no matter what else is happening around us. And there’s been a whole lot happening.
For now, I wanted to share the Obituary for my mom, Ardyce LaFreniere, the reigning family matriarch, who passed at the age of 89 years of age this past week on October 15th. I was fortunate and grateful to be present, hold vigil with other family members, and tend the threshold of such an epic passing.
She would have appreciate the Obit-share here in the blog-o-sphere cyber-garden, being, as she most definitely was, a super-communicative, vibrant, multi-faceted, and lively Gemini Stellium human in this lifetime!
You can check out the Obit and just the barest minimum summary of her adventures over her 89 years of this Earth-walk.
In other news, in addition to the day gig working in-person with women experiencing stressful passages themselves, I’ve been muse-storming behind the scenes with a dear friend about various ways to share insights from the recent cycle, and ways to gather or provide needed manna to soul-sisters and soul-siblings needing to periodically refresh in kindred-spirit waters. So much on-the-ground experience and observations and insights to share — and invite (since I’m sure you have more than a few, too!).
What’s been up and stirring for you? Share updates or sprinkle blessings in the comments below if you’re moved to do so.
See you all soon, and be well (and be fiercely you!) in the meanwhile.
Big Love,
Jamie

Hi Jamie…
Sending LOVE and HEALING for the passing of your Mom.xxx How are you doing with all the Chaos over there these days. Miss your emails. All fine here. It’s been quite the year for me with lots of correspondence with this (spiritual man) whom I met 7 years ago and out of the blue he sent me a message last October. We share lots in common, especially music and we have messaged every day since last October. He’s definitely a Soulmate/Soul Group love, very Yeshua 5th Dimensional energy. Also I have this connection to the energy that was Andy Gibb. This connection happened a month before my Dad passed in Oct 2023. Andy gave me this cool sign a couple of months ago when I was emailing a friend mentioning I had not had any signs from Andy for awhile and I mentioned I might listen to his songs that day. That same afternoon a lady on FB popped up on my Messenger at the top of the list (which doesn’t normally happen if you have not been speaking to them) I hadn’t spoken to this lady for a year. She was a person I contacted about Andy. Anyway I messaged her and she said I had popped up on her Messenger as well and she thought it was weird. She also said she felt Andy wanted us to reconnect. It was lovely to receive this sign and it showed he was hearing me with talking about him that day.. So this lady and I had a session together because of Andy’s sign and at the end of our chat I said does Andy want to say anything else to me and this is what Andy said to her… “” Loved our call! Andy says “you will always be my first love”‘ Very sweet indeed, not sure If I really believe that LOL. Of course my hubby is an Andy and born the same year as Andy Gibb and quite a few synchronicities with Andy Gibb. Too long to share here. Always juicy stuff with me LOL. Love you Susan XOXOXO seshand “at” xtra.co.nz

Hello Susan! Thanks for checking in and for your lovely and healing message about my mom’s recent passing. Yes, it’s been quite awhile since our email exchanges (likely because full-time work with women’s healthcare, my mom and stepfather’s challenging year, the rest of the “normal life” to-do’s and challenges over this past year+ had me online so much less frequently! Not an excuse, but definitely just part of the fabric of the year+ for me! You were definitely in my awareness, thoughts, and heart though, for real.).
I’ll see you in email xoxo

Dear Jamie, I have been there for my dad and mom and I know it is hard when our parents leave this earth plane but in the same time I am happy for them for going back home from where we all come. My condoleances to you and the family and much love from the Aegean sea.

Hello dear Marinela! Vibes from the Aegean are always welcomed. 🙂 Yes, I agree – very fortunate to be with both of my bio-parents (I have step-parents, too) at their passing, as well as so many lovely get-togethers and adventures along the way. So grateful for that. For any who can see/sense and/or has had an NDE, it really does give a slightly different perspective … it’s not just a mono-dimensional experience. Yes, someone with whom we’ve shared part of our lives is no longer present, and there’s a sadness or grieving for that (or if things were difficult, unresolved, traumatizing, etc., it’s more complex than a simple “greeting card” situation, as so many of us know). Yet knowing that there is a shift in dimension (or whatever word) once the body dies and the soul or spirit or “that consciousness” leaves the body, you can’t un-know that, and it does give the nuanced awareness that you mention … sad, but glad. 🙂
Lots of love to you and strong healing streams to you as well, my friend.

Dear Jamie,
Sorry to hear of your mother’s passing, but it sounds like she lived a long and full life filled with love and adventure. That was a beautiful obituary!

Thank you, Laura! She did live a long and full life, to be sure. Gratitude for that. I hope you’re well!
