I can't even do justice to the feelings of walking in the rain forest, rain purifying every cell of my body, trees and animals providing life lessons every moment, and realizing how important this part of the world is to our health and well-being. My spirit was overwhelmingly at peace. The Osa Peninsula spoke to my soul. My soul-voice picked up messages from the animals and what rang true was "help us help you". The animals and flora need protection. I am excited to share one brief excerpt of our experience and how passion and purpose are coming together to help.
I was lucky enough to enjoy a "date day" with my 7-year old son. Picnicking and hiking we would go, and it started with picking up lunch at Whole Foods. On our way to the entrance, we saw a woman sobbing and a friend over her shoulder, consoling her tenderly. I sent her heartfelt wishes for a bit of ease to her apparent pain as we continued inside. My son and I did our shopping, then brought our groceries to the car, glancing to see the two women at their table, as we loaded our groceries and climbed in. We were ready to leave when my son reminded me, "Mom, we forgot the syrup!" I love this little human being – he keeps me straight! "Ah yes ... well, let’s go get it while we are here," and we both ran into the store to quickly grab the syrup.
We ran so fast that we almost toppled the floral gal who was wheeling a cart of red and white freesias to the back room. Instantly, I knew what I had to do, and why I was sent back into the store...
