Bonjour, sunshine! Im split. One part of me wants to cry, the other dance. So I did both. And at 10:30 this morn, my brothers, Joe + I will be doing a 4-way toast across state lines via smartphones...raising bottles of Miller High Life in memory + honor of an awesome man...our angel, our dad, Mel. He drank MHL way back when, but towards the end of his life he asked for it. Do you want anything? Yes, a beer. And make it a Miller! Done! One year ago today my best friend finally found peace in heaven. The spiritual connection with my dad has been nothing short of miraculous. I sense his presence often, he sends messages constantly, he guides my words here + elsewhere. With Mel up there + moi down here, were able to cocreate magnificently. Its a beautiful thing. I got up at 4:00 to make sure I was awake at 4:09, the time I felt my heart tug this day last year. I knew he was transitioning. At 4:56 I received a call from the Hospice nurse to tell me that my dad peacefully passed at 4:30. I still get goosebumps when I think about it. Theres a lot of meaningful to me numerology there in addition to the whole heart communication system thing. Gotta love how the universe works. At 4:30 on the polka-dot (Mel loved navy + white polka-dots), I took down my dads purple Christmas tree. The ornaments + lights are carefully packed away for next year. I placed his tree outside my office window for recycling back to earth in its own way + time. The energy of winter. I lit the candle I found in Anthropologie in NYC over the holidays for this day. Twin-flame in a purple glass bowl. Perfect! January seems to be a popular month for parent passing. Joes father went to heaven on 1/9 two years ago + at least four of my friends mothers + fathers found peace this month too. Its as if they gave us one more Christmas before moving on after the festivities were over. Always thoughtful + caring about others. I wanted to get to the beach today right at dawn to see a different kind of sky. It was spectacular. Purple on one side, red on the other. Theres a drop-down ledge now, quite steep. I had to walk far down + around to walk close to the sea. Yes, I couldve jumped, but I wanted to make sure I was intact for the 10:30 toast. I didnt get any particular message from the beach today other than to enjoy life while youre alive because you never know when you wont be. We got this etched in stone already, right? Right! Now we just have to etch it into our hearts + do it. Live fully, expansively, mindfully, thoughtfully, beautifully, wholly, holy + LARGE. No playing small. The wind is picking up as I peck the phone face. Its supposed to rain + drop down to the 40s. The sky seems to be moving in that direction. But the sun is still there, shining bright, unseen but doing its thing. Whatever your thing is today, do it with love + light. Flap your wings + take flight. You were born to fly...to live extraordinarily before you die. You are amazing. Your life was divinely designed to be nothing less than that. As my friend Martha Lee would say, Claim it!. And so I shall. Join me? Im so happy you said, Yes!.😊 Lots of love + light wrapped up in a now is all you have hug, Denise-Marie xx
