These are challenging times for most of us. Fear, anger and depression are everywhere. In the past two weeks three of my friends have come to me for comfort and help. I cannot remember this happening in such a short time period in my entire adult life. Why so much trauma in such a short time?
I believe that with the economic changes in the world the old way of being is dying. Linear time no longer works. The dependable job that you trained and kept for life is no more. Living in the same house until retirement, a rarity. Even retirement at the age of 65 is questionable. Many of us have lost our retirement, jobs, and houses. No wonder people are stressed out. So what do we do?
Go with the flow, think outside the box, cluster together, and help each other. Many adult children have moved back with their parents. Adults living in single- family homes with extra bedrooms are renting out rooms. Trust that you will find caring, loving people to share your space and that the universe will provide.
Making meals together not only saves money, it also produces less stress than doing it all yourself. Right now my 29-year old son and his girlfriend are living with us. Often we share meals. It is much easier to cook for four than two, plus I get a break from the same old food.
We also take care of each other’s pets and plants. When one of us goes away there is someone to watch the house. I think communal living is the wave of the future. Having large homes with one or two people in them is not good for the planet. It just doesn’t make sense any more.
I invite you to look at your life and evaluate how you are living. Remember to be grateful for what you have, ask for help, and go with the flow. If the old ways are no longer serving you make changes. I really don’t think the old ways of living are going to come back. For me time is spiraling faster and faster. There is only now and the future is open to change every second. These can be wonderful exciting times if you transmute the fear into love and help one another.
Be Love,

Chrissy, this is a great post!
One of the points you make is to "ask for help". That's so very important for us to remember and do.
Those of us who are used to being strong and taking care of ourselves and others are out of practice with the simple humility of asking for help. Perhaps that's part of our lesson: we need to go through experiences that challenge us so harshly that we are forced to ask.
One of the gifts from asking is that we allow the person whose help we are seeking to feel needed and helpful. By giving their compassion and assistance, they are also receiving.
What a wonderful energetic cycle we set up by asking for help!
Love and Light, Simone
