Einstein 17: Opportunities

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
– Albert Einstein

While in the Pacific Northwest, I learned to make flower essences and that some plants have helpful energies. In this belief system:

  • Heartsease provides gentle comfort and solace for a broken heart.
  • Bleeding Hearts vibrations release the pain of broken relationships.
  • Self-Heal is a mint whose name means, โ€œthat with which one may cure oneself without the help of a surgeon.โ€
  • Snapdragons slay harsh and negative speech patterns.

One of my most inspiring flowers is the Black-Eyed Susan. With its sun-gold petals radiating from a dark center, this perennial visually and beautifully expresses this weekโ€™s Einstein wisdom, that from life’s shadows, brightness can bloom.

BTW, this flower discussion is not meant to replace medical advice but to offer fresh insights. As I was taught, flower essences have subtle, gradual and enduring effects. Use should be guided by those with substantial understanding of the practice. Read more about healing with flowers.

Blessings & best wishes.

Keep in Mind

“One National Indivisible,” (c) 2020 Sandra Gould Ford.

This coming Tuesday is Primary Election day in my County, which means weโ€™re choosing who will decide how we live. This ballot also has a lot of referendums.

I recently learned that of the 39 candidates running for the judge, the Bar Association considers some Highly Qualified to decide how our laws are enforced while others are Unqualified.

Wherever you vote, keep in mind, anyone can get themselves on ballots then run marketing campaigns with nice slogans and attractive images that can be as misleading as ads promoting the benefits of cigarette smoking in the 1950s.

Here are ways to make sure you know who and what youโ€™re voting for:
