Walk In Beauty
| I call my Grandmother my "sweet Latvian Gypsy." She was at one time the only human being that I ever felt true love from. She had a difficult life during and after the war. I could a often feel her pain of the losses she experienced when one night many ,many moons ago, the SS came into her a house and took her husband from her then sent her and her children to serve in prison camps. Through her hardships and losses, she was the kindest strongest woman I have ever met. She always showed unconditional love and always gave away roses that she so proudly grew in her gardens. You never left her house feeling hungry (which iexplains my sweet tooth.) She was funny and strict and I will never forget how her hands felt inside mine., she had one crooked thumbnail. She gave tarot readings using a simple deck of playing cards. Her greatest advice to me was "Be strong Feya, Be Strong!" for that I honor her every chance I can. I think it is important to remember our ancestors and what they survived. It is important to never forget their wisdom and courage of their own lives. Whenever I feel like the world has gotten to be too much, and I can not take anymore, I remember my grandmother and all she survived in her life and I kick my own butt and move on. My grandmother passed away a few years ago. I have had struggles with that, grief is a strange and powerful emotion. But since her passing my life has gotten better. I believe when our soulmates leave us and go to the otherside, that they then use their magic, without human obstacles, and they help us to create a better life. They do that by guiding us with their spirit. My grandmothers last words to me were "I will always be behind you pushing you forward even when you are famous." The famous part was strange to me, but hey she was psychic! :) So as I walk this journey of sharing spirit with others, I am bringing my sweet Latvian Gypsy with me each step i take, she would not have had it any other way. Miss you granny xo |
