The Opportunity to Look Inward

 For weeks, I've been blogging and replying to a multitude of FB posts to STAY POSITIVE. Don't name call. Don't get angry. When people who are following other candidates say something horrible, don't reply! Unless it's with respect and kindness. I have had many positive responses to my plea. Sadly, I've received negative responses to this. too.

I can't say this strongly or pleadingly enough--DO. NOT. GO. TO. THEIR. LEVEL.

It is so hard to not get upset. My goodness! Lying, cheating--blatantly! Little to no honest mainstream media coverage. I mean, the list goes on and on.

But so does Bernie. And so will we.

Here's the thing:

The people who have been planning this evil have been doing this for years, maybe decades. #Berners are a rather new (and amazing!) phenomenon. And we are rocking the boat! But as we gather tighter, closer, and more filled with love, passion and courage, that ball of light that is US (not me!) will dispel the darkness. WE MUST NOT DOUBT. This is a righteous desire. Don't let any darkness in. Then they win. I know your sadness or anger or even fear, but I cannot give up my love for my country when those who are willing to practice evil are damaging my nation. I WILL NOT LET THIS HAPPEN and it really does begin with me. And you. It begins with us!

Please consider this next bit by a friend of mine from a FB group for Energy Healers. If this isn't usually your thing, I'm asking you to let go of your skepticism and look at this. If it resonates with you, great! If not, that's okay, too.

 This is from the Healers for Bernie’s owner, Jana:
This is where it gets real. The usual path is proving to be incredibly difficult, but this is not over. We see an awakening happening? We see a fight between good and evil? And we believe we can win this fight using the usual channels? Not likely, as we are really seeing. So it's our turn to turn it up.

We are needed, and that is not egoist, imaginary, or unicorn land. This is an energetic reality. It's time to dig deep and do our personal and spiritual work around this as if our lives depend on it. It's easy to get down, I have been down lately. But today I have a new resolve because I am accepting that this is going to take one of those everyday miracles that we can manifest. It starts by drilling into our own fears, this is individual inner work as well as collective work.
So. I invite each of you to dive into the felt sense of your doubts and fears. Go into it deeply, resisting the urge to create a story around it, or even label it. Go even quieter, and deeper into it, and listen to that felt sense. It's very likely a vestige of unhealed pain from the past that is begging to be resolved, and Bernie is giving us the opportunity to look at it, find its roots, let it move, grow, and shift inside of us until it settles into integration.
The waves of our personal healing go directly into the collective in a way that would crush us with its beauty if we could clearly see it.
Share with us. What is happening when you do your work? How are your fears shifting? This is a gift to others, exposing our own vulnerability in this way.
I love you.
 Jana finishes this with love. And that is my final message in this blog. Bernie has brought us together because we love our country. We are troubled by some of the things that are happening. And we have been blessed with a leader who is willing to overturn the rocks and look underneath, clean things ups and make the USA great--a clean, honest nation run with integrity that gives all of its citizens a chance for a good, healthy, productive, happy life. 
 My sincere entreaty is you leave HC behind. Leave her behind. All the dishonesty, all the cheating, all the meanness. Do. Not. Be. Like. Them! Do not engage in battles. Do not post memes about her at all. Ever. Do not try to be right. We already are right and will not convince them. So don't mess up OUR energy by stooping to their level! 
We love the future in Bernie's hands. We love our country. And most of all, we love each other. My offer here is to stand tall, take my hand, take the hands of as many Berners as you can, and tell them, I love you. And then, (stick with me now), say out loud, "I love you, Bernie Sanders." Why do I ask you to do this? Because LOVE is the strongest, purest, most courageous power on the earth. What will happen when millions of people say these five words: I love you, Bernie Sanders?

A revolution.

Every Vote Counts--Count Every Vote

It is a few days after Bernie did not get the win we wanted in New York. And yet again, there were problems with voting. There were problems in Brooklyn, his stompin' grounds. There are lawsuits a-plenty. Am I being paranoid to say that something--AGAIN--smells fishy? I refuse to get discouraged. There are many true, honest, good people in place who are not going to stand for this and I consider myself to be one of them. And I know many thousands, tens of thousands, millions who are also insisting that we have honest elections. And I am so grateful. But I have to ask myself, how can winning the election be so important that either it's been handled poorly from stupidity, trying to save a buck (that isn't working out so well now, is it?) or because people have lied, are still lying? Isn't there value in honesty and integrity? Aren't these values a huge part of America? What is the cost of truth in voting? And how can we make sure that EVERY. VOTE...

#BWW--This Stands for #Bernie Would Have Won--and He Would Have

On Facebook, they have this, look back and see what's happened in years past thingie. "Your Memories on Facebook." I've enjoyed looking at my memories--what the weather was like it years past, when I've been able to ride because the weather was great, when I had to stay indoors when the weather wasn't. I have some weird posts like, "I have a secret and soon I'll be able to tell it," and I think, JEN, what was the secret??? I also have some, boy, this show I'm in is great, but there's been so many shows I can't remember which one it was. The posts that make me the saddest, though, besides the ones about my son who passed away, are all my hopeful, amazing #Bernie posts. WE HAD THIS, PEOPLE. He was so the clear winner. The rallies! The little bird! The momentum! WE HAD THIS.  Then, as the days go by, my "memories" relate post after post after post of voter tampering, voter fraud, polls closing, registrations getti...

Monologues and Other Theatrical Horrors

Image
I am in a very intense film acting class. It is like group therapy, and I mean that in the best sense possible. But it took me a half-hour of crying last night, sad that I had chosen a stupid monologue, I wasn't one of the cool kids because I was old, and all the other crap that came billowing out of my crying heart to hear one of my patient classmates say: why not choose a new monologue? I was like, can I do that? I think back to this and wonder, why was I so afraid to change my monologue? What was holding me back? There are implications here. Big Implications. I consider myself a strong person. I've been told by gazillions of people that I am a strong person. Except I have you all fooled! I am an insecure person who waits for permission all the time, permission for things that I have complete control over! I look for validation, stamps of approval, and a big ol' nod for things when all I would have had to do is ask, is this okay? Or even better: Here's what I...
