Don't get fooled again

The Who warned us that they wouldn't be fooled again, but is it so bad to have a gentle laugh at ourselves?  After so long, many of us still in isolation, it is time to laugh together, even if our "together" is thru the miracle of the World Wide Web.

This world we are slowly and cautiously waking up to, is not the same one we left behind two years ago. It is now obvious why the 1920s were "roaring". People finally coming out of the dark cloud of the Spanish Flu were ready to party in the streets, the stock market looked good up until the end of the decade, so there was money to burn through. Unforunately, alcohol prohobition kinda rained on that parade, as the saying goes. But what great stories and music came out of that era!  Struggles build resilience and beauty rises to the surface. 

I am not here to fool anyone, but to hopefully make you smile and realize that our time apart won't be forever and there will be a party, maybe a decade long party, to look forward to when we can be together again. 

In the meantime, enjoy the Spring! And if you need us, please reach out through our website gardensourcesc.org.

Much love.

Marching to Spring!

I write this during a thunderstorm while I can still see the buds of new life on the maple tree outside my window. We are just shy of the two year anniversary of going into lockdown to try to protect one another. By and large, our efforts have been more successful than not.  I, personally, am still mostly locked down. I sure I am not alone in my fears of being too casual in my contacts too soon. Our collective experiences are worthy of an ounce of fear.  I pray that before another year passes, we can be in each other's arms again for some of the best hugs ever.
Until then, may this message find you well. If you need us, please reach out thru our website gardensourcesc.org or email gardensourcesc@gmail.com
Blessings for the Spring! And much love to you all.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful...

And Mother Nature is having some harsh mood swings.  Hoping that, no matter where you are in the world, you are warm, safe, and surrounded by love.
With the seemingly never-ending and ever-changing threat that Covid-19 has placed on everyone, especially the medically challenged, Garden Source Spiritual Center is choosing to continue avoiding in-person fellowships and gatherings.  We miss smiling faces and hugs, but have to put health first. 
If you need to reach out, please contact us via email at gardensourcesc@gmail.com.

Happy 2022

Wishing you and yours all the best in these challenging times.
Here comes the cold weather, at least in Kentucky. I, personally, will be glad to see the tornadoes go away.
We may not be meeting in person, but know that Garden Source is still available to you. Do not hesitate to reach out via our website or in the comments section here.
Blessings.

It is beginning to look a lot like...

We are going to have to bundle up extra warm this week. Happy December. Happy 6th day of Hannukah. Not so happy that we can't seem to catch a break from covid-19 variants. We miss you! All our hugs are so overdue. 
Here's hoping to getting those hugs in 2022. 
Meanwhile, take your vitamins, drink your water, hold your family close, enjoy the season of lights and miracles, and the return of the light at Yule. May you have a blessed Christmas and a safe New Year.
And if you or anyone you know needs help staying warm, please let us know at gardensourcesc@gmail.com. Our community outreach program Homeless Hookers still has plenty of homemade hats and scarves for anyone in need. Find out more about them at http://homelesshookers.wordpress.com.
Until next time, in the famous words of Casey Kasem, "Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars."
