Oh, yeah, baby! A book arrived yesterday & my world turned inside out & upside down & - best of all - right side UP.
This Chair Rocks - a manifesto against ageism, by Ashton Applewhite.
An Interdependence Day gift from the Universe via Networked Books & Amazon. But absolutely from the Universe! A gift to ensure a full week month yearS of Interdependence Days.
Yes, I know that I'm functioning at full babble. But the flow of gifts from a spectacularly generous Universe that dearly wants us all to live drenched in abundance has hit SURGE this past year. To have THIS book, THIS author activist jokester (more about that in later posts), with all the promise it & she holds for my connecting to my deep purpose tribe, to have all that arrive just when it did - leaves me gobswoggled with wonder.
What sings to me? Consider this, from her Wikipedia blurb: Since 2012, Applewhite has been speaking widely about how ageism makes aging in America so much harder than it has to be, as well as about the medicalization of old age, ageism and elder abuse, and the effects of ageism on women’s lives.
My anthem!
And from her website - People are happiest at the beginnings and the ends of their lives. The vast majority of Americans over 65 live independently. The older people get, the less afraid they are of dying. Aging is a natural, lifelong, powerful process.
My prayer!
Oh, Universe - you are SO good to me! And I give you my wholehearted thanks. Will put your gifts to excellent use, as touch stones & guides to my best forever.
07/06/16 - another Happy Interdependence Day! What new gifts will today bring?! I know the one the Universe longs to get in return, the only gift it seeks - my awakeness, awareness & wise action. My present.
