Setting intentions

Late this afternoon, after I had settled down to start the new Dan Brown book, I got a phone call from my mother's friend, who informed me that my mom had had what seemed to be a mini-stroke/TIA, and was in the hospital for evaluation. She is fine, awake, coherent, remembers everything - completely fine - but will be kept overnight for tests and observation.

I know many of you are observing Yom Kippur tonight and tomorrow, and I ask if you can just include her in your prayers. She is fine, and I know she will be fine tonight, tomorrow, for the foreseeable future; but, while I'm the least religious person I know and you'll never hear a "Jesus" or "God" uttered out of my mouth in these regards, I do believe in light and energy and the power of positive thinking, and that these powers can be enhanced when used collectively. Somewhat coincidentally, if you believe in such things, the entire story of the Dan Brown book seems to be based around the same premise of manifestations and mind-over-matter. I have to wonder if that means something.

I questioned whether posting this would be too dramatic and unnecessary, as I do believe she is and will be fine; but I know many of you know her, either personally or from her many cameos here on the blog, and I figured it was worth putting out there.

Thanks in advance.
