All the trails I&#8217;ve cut, the sitting nooks I created.\u00a0 I love being out in the nature, especially here where it&#8217;s so dense you can barely tell there is a neighborhood around me. When I feel stressed, as I have the last few days, being alone in the silence, out in nature is what heals me, it&#8217;s what fills me, it&#8217;s what fuels me so I have something to give to whoever needs it.\u00a0 If I&#8217;m not filled with healing energy, how I can give anything to anyone else? My life is blessed.\u00a0 I live in Paradise, I have no complaints whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p>RELATED: <a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=16990\">Why pretend loved ones aren&#8217;t going to die?<br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=24484\">I have a lucid mom visitation as loved ones are passing<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/holding-the-vision-saying-prayers-playing-the-waiting-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Holding the vision, saying prayers, playing the waiting game&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/holding-the-vision-saying-prayers-playing-the-waiting-game\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/holding-the-vision-saying-prayers-playing-the-waiting-game\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/holding-the-vision-saying-prayers-playing-the-waiting-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=Holding%20the%20vision,%20saying%20prayers,%20playing%20the%20waiting%20game&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/holding-the-vision-saying-prayers-playing-the-waiting-game\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Busy day, friends suddenly passing, making travel plans, waiting on phone calls, not enough sleep, trying to catch up on work that I can do without using brainpower.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve\u00a0 been burning cds, labelling and getting them to the post office.\u00a0\u00a0 While waiting today for the calls from relatives, doctors, I needed some mindless busy work [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24441"}],"version-history":[{"count":36,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24441\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35459,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24441\/revisions\/35459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
