Yay !!! I’m so happy to read this and yes, I did miss you !
This provides me hope - I’m still living in Commiefornia, and Tennessee is certainly on my list of possible places to retire in a few years. I’ll be interested to hear how you feel about the summers and the crazy high humidity - that’s really the thing that keeps me looking to the Northern California coast, but I’d be in this godforsaken state run by absolute communists 😠
Blessings to you in your new home in your new region !!
Thanks very much! your words are comforting and nourishing to me, and I feel your pain! All my friends warned me about the humidity here, and I’ve lately had a chance to sample it. My reply to them has been, well my hair will be frizzy, but my (face) skin will look better… and it does! LOL.
I’m looking at this factor as a small price to pay, in contrast to the shit-show I left behind in CA. I’ve run into a few off-center folks here, but most are kind, generous and truly helpful to me, as I establish myself in this mecca.
It’s kinda like mosquitos. Ya know you’re gonna have to deal with ‘em, but you accept that they come with the territory of living in a warmer climate part of the year. :~)
“ Why am I not surprised? Since the fire that decimated my entire Altadena town and left it looking like a war zone, everything that could go wrong, has. It forced me to wonder if I was being tested. Just what was the lesson?! Was this some kinda sicko joke God chose to play on me? Inquiring minds REALLY wanna know”
Mental illness arises when we believe false ideas. The false idea in the above paragraph is “everything that could go wrong, has.” First, nothing is wrong. If you think anything is or ever has been wrong, it’s because you doubt God. Stop doubting God, and suddenly everything is right. Indeed, life is perfect just the way it is.
Now, going back to what you said, lots of things didn’t go “wrong”. You didn’t die; you didn’t lose your access to the internet and your audience; and you found a house! Can you imagine that? A so-called psychological expert thinks the blessings of a new house, her health, and so much more, are totally worthless and valueless. Of course, as she said, “everything” went wrong.
It’s ok, Ms. Schreiber. Everyone dies. It’s one of the few things we all have in common. Your adolescent concept of right & wrong is indeed being tested by God. God wants you to realize that the fire was directed by God - not a devil nor a burp in God’s plan. You can never know the full extent of benefits that arise from you losing your house. Why? Because of Divine Ignorance. Rest assured, your house was supposed to burn down. Nobody erred.
For certain, this blog was a way for you to discover the truths that God hid from you. It’s time to open your eyes and listen to the word of God: everything is, was, and always will be OK. Now, imagine a game of chess. Would it be perfect if both players win? Well, then it’s not a game. Immature brains conceptualist perfection as everyone getting what they want. However, true wisdom is in seeing not only the perfect necessity of loss, but also its charm.
You lost your house because God runs a perfect world; and with humility, you can get out of your own way and realize that pain and loss are good. For, they are orchestrated by the omnipotent creator. Soon, you may discover that your inclusion of personal issues in your authoritative blog were a cry for answers. Here they are. ~ Aaron

Hey Shari, I like the way you write. I hope everything settles down in the most beautiful way possible.
Thank you!
Good
For you
At 82, have started over more times than I can remember. Tennessee is beautiful, but am a lifelong Cornhusker
Enjoy your new life. By the way I am 82.

Hi Elsie. How courageous of you!!! I’m definitely turning a new leaf, and loving it! In what part of Tennessee do you live?

it might sound a little bizarre but in a way we create our own universe. To me, this applies not only where we live but to whom we chose to live with.
p.s. My universe is better now you are a part of it.
