A few words from Johanna …Often when we are hurt by someone the hurt lingers. In some cases people allow hurt to destroy themselves. We read about famous people like Paul McCartney and how terrible his divorce was. The “Ex” appears hated by many. It’s bad enough she wasn’t nice to a “Beatle” but to keep on destroying his image is not acceptable!

In some ways we may be no better than she. How many times have we been ‘done-in’ and allowed ourselves to get caught up in the emotional aspects of it all?

Blessings…Johanna

May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.

Johanna Note: A family member wrote this before passing to the other side:

“Let the closing curtain bring no sadness to your soul. Though the play is over, each actor played a role in bringing me sweet pleasure; a sharing of every scene…moments I shall treasure in my eternal dream.

The actors I have known and loved for lo these many years are you, with whom I shared my life through both comedy and tears. With a grateful heart I bid farewell to my beloved cast as it was meant to be. No play forever lasts.

Ephemeral, the mortal tides, time in silent haste slips by. And while destiny gently chides, to grieve is but to waste. Let not your precious moments dwell in thoughts of what has been. For when one play is ended another must begin.

Another play will soon be born, of that you can be certain– albeit with an altered cast. Tomorrow lifts the curtain, and the happiness you brought to me, to others you’ll disperse. Take leave dear friends, the time has come… a new play to rehearse.”
