Currently waiting for J to get over lake to pick me up at 10:30 and sitting in one of my favorite spots in my sister's back garden, especially when I want shade not sun, the swinging bench under the cedars by the pond. (They designed the pond with a pond specialist who then built it and cleans/maintains it for them.) It's very peaceful here even with the busy road on the other side of the fence and i like being near the water and listening the sound of it splashing along.

I was going to read for a little bit, but then Mikaela messaged me and it seemed more important to me to reply to her about this than to read my book. 

I wonder if she realizes that it's not always my dream self visiting her with Audrey, most of the time it's the Morrigan or another form of The Goddess appearing in my form (my energy signature is strongly aligned and similar to The Goddess and various iterations of her; ive only been on of her high priestesses for the last 10,000 years or so of lifetimes doing what needs doing by someone incarnating in the cycle of souls) so as not to scare Mikaela but to still bring Audrey to visit her give her the comfort and love from Audrey while she's in soul review between lives. (Mikaela's family are Jehovah's witnesses and I have always been honest with her about what my personal spiritual beliefs are. When she was 4 or 5, M had a breakdown sobbing how she didn't want to go to heaven or even be on new earth if I wasn't there. So her mother and I had to have a bit of a talk with her about religious relativism and the idea of G-d being empathetic and eutheistic. I explicitly told her that as far as I am concerned, spirituality is between the individual and their understanding/perception of the Divine and so I would never lie to her about my beliefs but would also never push them as The Truth. I taught her my personal metaphor that religions are lenses like glasses about best fit to see clearly and comfortably as possible for the individual. I also told her she should believe whatever is right for her and that her mother will love her no matter what spiritual/religious path she follows (which her mother confirmed, but did say witness would be easier for family and church friends relations) BUT that her dad had very strong beliefs in the Jehovah's Witnesses way is The only real Truth so while she was a minor living in their home she was to study and learn about it respect him and their faith and after she was 18 she could decide for herself what she believed and what best fit her own life path. She also has a lot of spiritual gifts that are already awakened and more that are dormant, just from spending her whole life around me as my bonus little sister/cousin/niece/goddaughter unrelated to me. For her own safety and mental health, I've done a small amount of very basic energy shielding and defenses work and empath shielding lessons with her, especially after she hit puberty and things got more intense, and she's been around me when I've done more powerful energy work but I explicitly told her that it would be a need to know basis until she turned 18 and could make her own decisions about further training because of her dad's disapproval of anything related to witchcraft. She turns 18 very soon, before I get back from Seattle area.) 

Gotta run now and walk up the hill to the top of their street to wait by the mailbox for J and their son Arthur! (Jon has important meetings today so the goal is not to have Waffles barking losing her mind when a car pulls up mid meeting.) I'm excited to go spend some time hiking and chatting by Lake Washington and going on a bit of a walk by the lake and then lunch with them! Haven't seen them since pre COVID shut downs!
