Thanks for sharing. I lost my best friend to Cancer on Friday the 13th. Then to see all the loss 2 weeks later in the mountains makes my heart ache. So much loss.

In Asia, hungry ghosts are primarily addressed during the Hungry Ghost Festival, celebrated mainly in countries like China, Taiwan, and Singapore. This festival occurs on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, believed to be when the gates of hell open, allowing spirits to roam the earth

Thanks Dawn. I don't feel particularly creative, to tell you the truth, but sitting down to write is grounding in the swirl of contractors and tree guys and FEMA.

My curve ball was around this time 2023 when my husband was diagnosed with pancreatic and prostate cancers. This whole past year my energy was spent on my husband. Now that we are in a great concur and pause, I am at loose ends as to what is MY path now?

I know it always takes me a beat to re-find my way after life's circumstances have remade me. After such a large life event, it doesn't surprise me that you need a moment to regain your vision. xx
