In light of what we are all facing with the cornovirus I want to say that I deeply pray that each and everyone of you that I have grown to love and adore will remain safe while this outbreak is sweeping across our world! π
I was not too afraid until yesterday when I realized the Magnitude of this crisis. Going to stores to find toilet paper and paper towels and water that was completely non existant on the shelves of many stores. The food shelves where also quite bare. It was a scary and eye opening day for me. More so I saw stock markets crashing and we are staring into the eyes of a possible recession. My son is in finance and has made me aware of the issues we are facing financially globally.
Another upsetting thing was watching people everywhere with gloves and masks this also made me realize that this is extremely real and haunting. Even with family’s whom like me will be gathering for easter we are making preparations to limit contact and keep things very small and intimate. Pretty sad when you have to worry about hugging family that it may make you sick. Regardless you do it but it’s in the back of all our minds.
Our president is considering banning international flights as I am sure your presidents are also contemplating. Some countries are completely shut down and some are in complete chaos. For all my friends across the globe we are In this together let’s join together and do whatever it takes to beat this monster.
Until then I stay optimistic that this will hopefully be contained soon and that we will get back to normal. Until then my heart goes out to those suffering in there country right now sick and or locked in there homes. I pray for quick recoveries and pray that this comes to a halt quickly! I love each of you that I follow and whom follow me! Just know you all are on my mind and in my prayers and thoughts! Kisses to all of you! πβ€π

Thank you! Another interesting side-effect has come to light, Iβve been talking across the globe to some of my sisters who are self-isolating and we are all getting our backlog of reading ready to get through. Love that this situation means there could well be a mass reading activity across the globe, anything that helps people read more books canβt be all bad. Yes, we are stronger than we know, adversity always brings out the best in humanity, I believe. May you and yours and all those you know remain held in light and love, my friend.

Call me a bit touched in the head, but I had a dream where the virus was placed amongst us by Universal forces of light. In my dream, they did it to update our DNA, because everyone will eventually come in contact with it, so that we are in alignment with the positive planetary changes that are occurring at this time, as our planet updates to a planet of Love, and this was an entirely good thing. As for the deaths, upon receiving this new coding, in the dream those souls took the decision to leave their Earthly existence and work from the other side. From their point of view, leaving the Earth was not a bad choice.
I have no idea if any of this is true but one thing it did for me, it reminded me that we have such a limited perspective of reality from where we are and there can be a lot more going on, seen from another plane. I am convinced we would do best to keep positive and spread only love, not fear, worry and stress. Thank you for a beautiful post and for sending love out to everyone.

That was a very beautiful letter youβve written to us all…thank you! Your love is well received as is your concern. In my country we are on mandatory lockdown and we cannot leave home only to go to the supermarket or pharmacy. All other businesses are closed and everyone is sitting or standing in their balconies looking out to the empty streets. I think when itβs all over theyβre going to make a city wide celebration in all the streets with free wine, gintonics, and paella π₯! With love from Spain πͺπΈ and with my best wishes that we all remain healthy, strong, sane and creative. At least Iβve a lot of wine π· for the duration…stay well Nichole, you are a lovely person with a heart of gold!
Big (virtual) hug from Quarantined Spain!

Thank you ππ» Nichole very very much. We are an old civilisation, like Italy, and we have survived many plagues and epidemics. It is bizarre to see the city empty, especially because we love the outdoors, our open air terrace bars, cafes, parks, so it is very strange to hear nothing, not even airplanes…but weβll get through it, we have faith and wine…the stores were running out of necessary and unnecessary items but they will restock Monday…I hope all heed the warnings, it is a difficult thing to be confined to your flat or to your house but it is for the better good. We will sing and applaud from our balconies this evening at 2000 hours, as did our brothers the Italians…much love to you Nichole, stay safe, you and your family and everyone! With love from Spain,
Francisco

Thank you. It is wonderful to have SAFE virtual friends who are not gathering and angry at governors who are trying to limit gatherings because ‘my constitutional rights are being hurt by you saying I can’t.’ As a person with a low immunity, I’m being as careful as I can and still find it not exactly safe!! Except online. Be well and smart, my friend.
