For weeks, the “e” key on my computer stopped working. I put off getting it fixed, and when I finally focused on doing that – I was four days out of warranty and looking at a $900 repair.
I procrastinated getting the help I needed and instead overcompensated by cutting and pasting in “e’s” when I typed (yes, it was THAT nutty and labor-intensive!)
Inspired to add more music to my life and remember to add more loving care for myself, I started to journal. Here’s what I wrote, and here’s what happened. It’s a miracle! 🙂
I WROTE just now:
I’m going to take time to SLOW DOWN today…. and Breathe.
I’ve been moving at warp speed – (I’ll spare you the list of manic activities I wrote….)
So much still to do, but listening to music and writing now are my priorities in the moment.
Oh yes I also…. (more lists)… and THEN!….here comes the miracle….
OMG – just by slowing down the “e’s” on my computer just started working again. OMG! I have been copying and pasting for days now!
SLOWING DOWN, music, breathing, taking time…. the EASE of the “e’s” just miraculously appeared. It is a miracle. I’m laughing. I made it all harder on myself by over-compensating instead of taking the time to slow down and focus on what needs to be done FIRST.
FIRST comes MEEEEEEEE- with lots of EASY EASE – eeeeeeeee – they are back – my lost e’s.
It’s a miracle. Wow, G-d and the Universe – and my angels and guides, are all here to support me – if I just SLOW DOWN enough to LET THEM!!!
OMG! OMG!!
Thanks to all my angels and guides in my life. I love having my ease (e’s) back! Love to all! <3 <3 <3

I go see every Super Hero movie. The latest one was Wonder Woman, and I even took my seven year old granddaughter —before I realized it was PG! (Sorry, Maisie, for having to cover your eyes sometimes!)
The reason I wanted her to see it was because Wonder Woman stood for the Power of Love — which is a good message to share.
I wanted her to know we are all Super Heroes, with infinite strength to create what we want. And I think one of our best super-powers is the Power of Forgiveness.
We all have the Power of Forgiveness, but we just don’t always use it. When we do exercise our Power, miracles occur.
(1) We can turn back time.
Forgiveness gives us the ability to “start over.” We can reboot, re-do, or renew a relationship without the need to rehash every insult or slight. We can begin again, and create a better relationship with a sense of peace and inner balance.
(2) We can lift heavy burdens.
We don’t have to carry around the weight of resentment, judgment and blame. We can set ourselves free from the stories we tell ourselves, and experience the lightness of being present, and open to new possibilities.
(3) We can see through barriers.
Instead of seeing someone who hurt or offended us through the barricades of anger and bitterness , we can lower those walls around our heart, and change the filters through which we see the other, and create appropriate boundaries — without needing total cutoffs.
(4) We become impervious to pain.
Forgiveness sets us free from re-hashing or re-living the past. When we no longer focus on what offended us, we can put our attention on what brings us
joy. Especially when we forgive ourselves.
(5) We stand for what is right and good.
When we forgive ourselves for mistakes we have made, we allow ourselves to embrace our humanity as well as our divinity. (To err is human, to forgive, divine.) When we forgive others, it sets us free and allows us to view the other from a kinder perspective, whether or not we choose to interact with them again.
Wielding the Power of Forgiveness makes us all Super Heroes — because forgiveness is a daily practice.
We can always
start over
liberate ourselves from “old stories”
break through the barriers of judgment and blame
free ourselves from pain
see both the human and the divine in everyone
So yes, Virginia (Maisie), there really is a Wonder Woman.
