Encouraging creative flow and letting go of worries (not the easiest thing for some, but we can all dream and pretend for starters)

Here's a post I shared with someone seeking housing (needing to fit some criteria and so on) but also for anyone heading to college or a next part of their life they may need some encouragement and positive thinking about fulfilling. Will the right house, people, job, car, experience, funds, pet and support show up for a person when needed?

Might the outcome depend on How we ask, Who We seek support from or What we expect? What is reality and 'the present and future about anyway"? Who's calling the shots or on one person's team?

Are we all on 'the same wavelength' of possibilties and some just having all the luck?

These are only a few questions we bump into (over and over with variations) over our lifetimes..and Where is the guidebook and support team for just about any problem? Might we have to be involved in a process have certain dreams and goals be realized?

Here's a bit of coaching offered to the person seeking housing when she asked some on a group for any leads, some of which offered a room even though she is seeking an apartment for herself and a child in  Southern Berkshire County, in Mass. and has a housing voucher...

There are likely people in this circle and area who can help you 'envision your perfect new living quarters' with all the details in living color and a good flow of energy of people and support already happening'...allowing that ask to turn into 'already answered' may be a helpful option..

I know it sounds a bit unrealistic but that may be in part due to our training in our culture. I could use some of this positive living into future myself and basically it's an idea I will share on my blog livfully.org to remind people to allow for good options to come easily into their mindset, vision board, naming it and claiming it as it is one's best interests and for the greater good as well.

These are not my ideas but am happy to share and hope that it's a helpful tool for you and others to try out...

Now in case you have some meaningful leads about the housing prospects, please email me at thinkingkapp@gmail.com and I'll forward them to her...maybe the bigger networking can happen for more people  through technology, teamwork and positive thinking.

Thanks also if you want to donate to someone whose dog needs to have a $600 procedure. I can get details of the vet who'd do the that and see if a fund could be set up at their spot for them. They are hoping to deal with it privately...and yet maybe a loan would be welcome too that could be paid back with monthly payments...and donational welcome as well.

They are nice folks I can vouch for as honest and hard-working with a lot on their plate at present. My email is thinkingkapp@ gmail.com. Thanks also to all who have donated to the FB Fundraiser to raise awareness about water safety and minors being accountable for their whereabouts with responsible adults and practical community guidelines.

That's Remembering Kaelan Alexander Palmer Paton's Legacy on FB and is running through August 2019. Half of the money will be donated to a local scholarship for a college student from Housatonic Valley Regional High School where he attended his first and only year of high school before he passed helping save his friends from the Housatonic River.

Sadly a recent loss claimed the life of a Brooklyn man, age 40, who lost his balance and fell into the water possibly with a head injury and could not be found by his friends in the quiet water at the base of the falls  in Falls Village and Salisbury CT or the dive team until the next day, July 31st, 2019.  He has now been properly identified as Anderson Guante.

Thank you for taking time to honor the four decades of life he had and the turn of events to inform many people about the gift of life and importance to use caution and ideally swim (or jump if it's really appropriate) in approved areas

. The same goes for many activities and sports, to keep things in the realm of reasonable for everyone's sake. That said, some of these kinds of challenges can inform the world in a way that moves people's hearts and minds to connect in meaningful ways with those already in their lives, circles and communities and create renewed efforts to provide bridges of compassion between people and places that reflect our bigger world dynamics.

Here's to lighting a candle of a compassion, appreciation and respect for all in the MA/NY CT area who have heard of this news, as well as those family, friends and others beyond our tri-corner and the Brooklyn NY area who are learning of this now. I hope each state and town would have a way to find volunteers and online resources for people to have support during these 'uncharted times' when life takes a challenging turn. Here's to helping everyone feel more supported no matter the news or events they face whether in personal or wider circles.

Our late teen son Kaelan Paton's Memorial Service in on youtube in short clips. That can bring healing to many even after a decade since his passing, particularly as many are still coping with another loss of a skilled diver, Steven Wingard, who had passed during a work-related underwater situation, likely being injured. There is an ongoing gofundme.com in his memory and to offer the family support as well with covering costs.

On July 25th, 2019, Victor Swenson, the brother of the late folksinger Caroline Paton, passed away in Vermont. As a longtime member of the Vermont Council on the Humanities, he helped initiate many programs through libraries and other venues that many have enjoyed for years. I have realized that these kinds of efforts enrich our lives in many ways and provide a social network for many that is good for the health of the participants and others in their circles as well. I heard a podcast online with Suzanne O'Brien interviewing John Leland who authored a book about aging (and living) well, called Happiness is a Choice You Make. She also offers online free programs that include a live question and answer session.

Other helpful resources can be found online on the many Ted Talks and with sites such as Jen McLean's Healing with the Masters and her other free monthly support calls on the 19th of the month in 2019 and on the 20th of the month in 2020 and so on through 2030 (is the plan.) Thanks for following your heart and considering ideas on this blog even if not everything flows to your liking. Allow yourself to skim through and take what helps and 'leave the rest' maybe for another time or someone else who may benefit from you mentioning it. 

I'll give a quick plug for things to enjoy in the tri-corner MA/NY CT area including Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, The Sharon Playhouse Beauty and the Beast Show, The Warner Theatre shows (including Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat which will also play in Sharon CT soon.) The Sharon Hotchkiss Library Book Author's Signing will happen Friday, August 2nd, 2019 on the Green. I plan to be there as I have a few times in part to honor the role of blogs and community networking as well as meet the many amazing authors who are there to meet and buy books from directly.

All the best to everyone finding ways to journal and create through various mediums, take in the arts, reflect on one's life timeline and family tree connections and circles of friends over the years. There are plenty of other insights shared on this blog, many of them inspired or summarized from others. If every town and state encouraged more conversation with free flowing aspects likely we'd all be coming up with many similar concerns and solutions.

Here's to the Democratic Debates also spurring interests and educating the public about lobbyists and options for caring for one another even with universal medicare. Likely everyone following more of what Dr. Mark Hyman shares in his books and online would help people take a huge stride forward in owning their power and taking more successful responsibility for their health and well-being, relationships and rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Unfortunately many people feel so pressured they can't or don't feel entitled to dream and enjoy life. I know how that can feel, but thankfully have had more encouragement than discouragement from many aspects of local areas and online help too.

 I haven't been able to watch them yet but took time to figure out my NY Times subscription online which is $4/month for a year, then goes up to 3.75 a week I realized. Always good to keep a notebook of dates 'over the years' to make reminders about such things.

I have to hone in on this blog's basic renewal dates and seek support in transferring the posts so I can have them on wordpress.com I do have a site on Medium.com/@livfully so will do more there as well. I will bring one of the articles I wrote over here that pertains to the passing of this Brooklyn man Anderson Guante since I wrote it to help people understand the the nature of small towns and how many work together.

A poem about "Use What You've Got" reflects some of the recent events and ideas about why we are here in life, such as to find inner peace on our journey Home.
