Right now I am writing for my own personal sanity. The extreme weather that the planet is experiencing is not really just “the thing” that we have to adjust to. We just got flooded out in San Diego, getting estimates of 4-7 inches based on geographic area in just a day or several hours. We usually get approximately a little over 10 inches a year. My “newer” old house is not only not designed to weather, it’s also in a location that is prone to getting all the run-off, and no where for it to go. There’s supposed to be another atmospheric river next week, and it’s forecasted to have a greater impact than the water we just had–which was the 4th wettest since the 1850s. That said, the forecast shows rain for 7 days in a row. So, I’m not even sure what to expect. Last season we fled before the hurricane, which turned out to be “nothing.” This most recent event, as far as we knew, was going to bring “rain” but we didn’t know the amounts–so it really did catch so many off-guard. The disclosures when we bought our house were less than honest. Some people are borderline crooks. Some people really are crooks. I think, in good faith, no one really expected the weather to change–even though CLIMATE CHANGE IS OBVIOUS.
That said, I am an optimistic person, and I always write about hope. I wasn’t always optimistic; yet, this isn’t just optimism. this is commitment and crawl-out-of-my-own-shallow-grave determination. I will not let anything else nor anyone else get the best of me. I spent 43 years doing that. I’m done.
Our society is capitalist. Wow, we all know the problems of capitalism–the push for non-stop growth. As a matter of fact, I am currently in the process of forming a corporation (at the most insecure time, i might add) because I have a vision. I have a vision for peoples’ health. I have a vision for helping more actual health-care providers to actually do their work and inspire others through options. This is not an easy task. My birth wasn’t an easy task. Although, my mom did tell me that the doctor kissed her after I was born and said, “you must be very blessed.” I’m not sure why the doctor did it. Maybe because I was the 4th kid. Maybe I came out easy. Maybe there was a look in my eye. Maybe there was a look in my mom’s eye.
I need to survive. I need to make money.
We all do.
Not only do we need to make money, but we need time and support to acclimate in the most rigorously changing circumstances. Infrastructures need to be reconfigured. Oh heck, even the soil needs to adapt. Adaptation, well, you know what? It takes some time. At least a little bit of time? Where does the water go when the water table is already high?
People in San Diego joke about how San Diegans are weenies because they can’t “handle the rain.” Well, isnt’ that insensitive? I’m from Pennsylvania; I can tell you that the rain here is different. The Earth is different. The land is different. It cannot handle extreme changes, when it’s been a temperate, and stable place. The infrastructure (the people-made stuff) is designed for another climate. My house already had issues that weren’t resolved. The house was built in 1937– it’s the oldest one around. But, it does get all the run-off; and then that will affect the others, too. I managed to prevent that earlier this week by insisting my husband go get a sump pump and also being in touch with my neighbors. I recruited as much help as I could find, and i told him to also. We are still not out of the “flood.” This el nino was something I watched and anticipated. I tried to alert my family and friends that we need some assistance.
I’m not an idiot.
People need help. That’s why i work so hard to be resource for others. I work so hard to be a resource, and then I have to work even harder to earn trust. It’s an endless process. Why? Because we are tragically human.
Happy FULL MOON in LEO. Here this LEO ROAR. I will not give in nor give up. More poetry to come, more art… more of everything. If our systems and infrastructures could give us more “space” and “time” to acclimate instead of the mad rush leaving us no option than to just “survive,” we need to make the space, we need to create the options. That is my goal and agenda. I’m not here just for me.

Rain is no joke when we get too much of it Ka… and I feel for you I really do… We are fortunate we live on a hill.. But living in England we are also getting much more rain than is normal.. and our normal is a lot..
We recently had Storm Isha with 80mph winds followed by Storm Jocelyn… Homes and businesses flooded out for the umpteenth time, Insurances now will not insure these properties, you could weep for the people…
So I pray your rain subsides and your property escapes…
And yes we came to help each other Ka.. and your idea of helping others heal is commendable I know when you put an idea into motion you follow it on through, so I wish you well in all you create..
Much love your way xx ❤
Oh Sue, since Jan 22 and then the beginning week of Feb, we had nearly non-stop rain. We get about 10 in per year on average. On the 22nd we had about 5 inches of rain and then the next deluge came a week later. I collected some water for my altar, of course! Then in the beginning of February, we probably got about the same or more over the course of many days this time. So, our normal is not a lot, and the soils are different and the engineering at my house that we moved into 2 years ago now– well, it’s really not designed for this, so it’s a real disruption to regular life and causes damage. My property has mostly escaped, however. it’s a great tragedy for many in LA. Oh our planet is really going through the changes. I pray we get this stuff fixed and figured out before it’s too late. Neither or us being land/water landscaping experts, and even house living has been a huge wake up challenge. I do weep for people, all the time. We are living in challenging times so much really go inside our hearts so deliberately continuously build strength to overcome the non-stop challenges of weather and personal life! Yes, let’s really help as many heal as can. The truth is we must do it for ourselves, so inspiration is must continue. Thank you so much for your prayers and kind blessings ❤ Truly, truly felt. Much love right back to you my friend. May your upcoming storms like Isha and Jocelyn be able to move without too much damage my precious friend. 80 mph winds is also a thing, for sure. We are in the thick of these planetary changes, and they will continue to strengthen; as must we.
The storms passed by with just a few local tree and fence damage here Ka… But others not so lucky..
Challenging times for many Ka.. The good thing is we are on the upward cycle of the Kali Yuga, meaning we are coming out of the dark into the Light…
Lots of Energies incoming all at once, and the collective consciousness is also more than a little chaotic at the moment as confusion sets in..
Hold tight, I pray your for you and your family and home.. That the weather will become more settled in your area…
Homes here have been built on wetlands which in the past always flooded… Rivers bursting their banks etc… as Man changes natural flow.. Nature is trying to rebalance … Its going to need our cooperation in learning to live in harmony with each other and Mother Earth.. ..
And yes Ka… You are so right.. We will need all of inner strength to help us over these coming obstacles xx ❤
Thanks for sharing your determination Ka. Yes, capitalism and climate are two very big hurdles. We need new economic systems that value people and the planet. With your attitude, I know you will find ways to adapt and help people. 🙏💖
Oh Ka, you are in the midst of it in some many ways. I hear your fight to overcome and to help others overcome. I hear your strength. 💙🐉
Sweet friend, your words mean a lot to me. Thank you for seeing me 💗
💕🤗
I hope it all goes well Ka, I think the earth has had enough and is shaking her tree a little to try to find that balance after we have truly, capitalistically, rocked her boat without a care in the world…and its coming home to roost.
And yes, we are currently in the way. But, I do think love will help those that stand in it. So I give you lots of love, great energy and much light that your lovely old home will regrow with that energy into a beautiful, happy place.
Go get them Ka, and create to your hearts content kind lady. You may be surprised in what you attract. Good luck! 😀❤️🙏
I read about the rain and floods in San Diego and knew how terrible it was…..We have had unbelievable climate events from extreme heat, to floods, to 100 mile per hour winds just this week. I have always known these change were coming…..we do have to learn to adapt because most of the world’s populations are not going to change their ways until it’s too late. Try and put all precious things up high…….X
I got goosebumps reading this, Ka, this was a powerful post to read. Thank you!
(in the midst of some way too hot days in Sydney, oz)
I’ve lived in San Diego for 53 years, never have I seen anything like what we had this week! And the lack of emergency response has been shocking, there are so many people left with nothing, and I didn’t hear anything about FEMA for days, where was the Red Cross??? I’m very disappointed. We need more people like you Ka! ❤
Now I understand your response, friend!! And I am sending everything I can energy-wise to help you during this time…is there anything else that I can do?? Because I was away, I did not pay attention to the news…and had no idea (sometimes I like it like that.) I hope that you and your family are okay…please let me know. And I also commend you on your new business…your heart of gold will do everything it can to make things right for as many people as possible!!
❤ ❤
Happy to finally see your post. Sounds like you are
managing pretty good considering everything. Taking
it as it comes. Better then I would in your same situations.
Remember love surrounds you, Eddie
Can understand how challenging it must be… Prayers to Mother Nature for stability and peace. 🙏
Thank you. Very appreciated ❤
