Jubilant July Greetings from miraculous Mount Shasta! I am here with July ETV shares and freedom musings after our nation's 250th birthday. Pictured above, I had some dress up fun with a friend and visited Thrive where Maya Angelou's quote is still a beacon for me. I just cleared the birthday ancestor altar that was featured in the July 4th Saturday Soul Playhouse as was my friend pictured above, Dancing Ember, with our invitations to, "Sparkle up!"

Here's the full version of the Ancestor Altar Reflections:
While June had many fun outings, July is mostly a stay home and work/play time focused on efforts to organize, prioritize, and strategize. I speak to this personally, societally, and globally in this month's vlog, Disciple of Freedom:

I speak, in part, from my wild backyard that is a beautiful pollinator garden and a constant reminder of life's abundance! I also have a look there in this week's Soul Playhouse; part of the magic in my current reality is showing up consistently.

7/18/26 Magical Reality
The dedicated spot for Soul Playhouse is here in our ETV Leaping Literacy Library. It is still found on YouTube as well though due to a lack of vibrationship, aka subscribers and views, we are phasing off that platform, perhaps entirely after the summer. We also have our July Freedom Songs Sing-Along on the YouTube channel as well as our dedicated Leaping Literacy Library Sing-Along Song page:

I will also speak briefly to the Om HomETV and Spiritual ABC summer projects for New Thought Families. I am still behind on the original schedule yet I continue to be in service to the new structures and the vision. I am approaching all that has been and all that can be with the compassionate reverence I speak of in the July vlog, Disciple of Freedom. These Om HomETVs are a 2026 mix of segments already done (reconfigured) and new ones long on the lists to be produced. These offerings are for spiritual family literacy, especially children and families. Or perhaps, for playful adults in touch with their inner child!
Free To Be Om HomETV

I have been discovering and re-discovering how much freedom there can be with consistency and continued commitment.
I have also become acutely aware, through my healing process with the mountain, how the power of woundedness can impact our perceptions of reality and abilities to change.
In my tendency to have too many callings and let too many of them linger, I re-connected with a long-time goal of digitizing and publishing these handwritten newspapers from my father's childhood. Written in 1935-37, I have had them now for 10 years, gulp. In cleaning out the old family home and store where dad's cousin Grace had kept some of these papers, I dumpster dove them after my aunt and uncle had thrown them away. Much like when you pick up a piece of trash on the road, once it is in your hands, it is your responsibility where it goes next. Like all else, I am holding continued resolution and compassionate reverence for myself and all of us in the circle.
There are so many ways to look at freedom, free will, and the choices we make as individuals, families, societies, and humanity. My personal journey and that of this large body of work definitely keeps inviting me to let go of some things and I continue to struggle with that. In her book, 'Create a Life of Freedom', author Natalie Ellis says, "You can have it all if you don't do it all." She also highly recommends (as do too many) using AI to do large portions of your (online) work/business. I have stubbornly remained highly resistant to AI for so many reasons. There is always much that can be said yet suffice it to say that now, more than ever, we do well to align with our sense of the divine. We ALWAYS have choices, at least the ones of how we perceive and what we believe. To close today's communication, I have the following investigative invitation.
On the little side road near my home, I found the above gift. I saw it, marveled at it, took this picture. I turned away to continue my walk downtown to pay rent. I was giving thanks for the rent money in the bank and affirming my blessings. I was Spirit stopped in my tracks to turn around and accept the found blessing as my own. I contined some inner struggle saying that I was so blessed, someone else needed it more, etc. The other message, loud and clear, was that the blessing was for me. What would you do if this were you? I did take it in with deep gratitude and have sent many blessings back to the anonymous giver in the circle. Yet, there was another opportunity. On my way home, at the other end of the trail, was another offering!
I spent a long moment contemplating the giver's generosity and my 2nd opportunity. Again, what would you do? Take it or leave it? I chose to leave it for someone else to be surprised and blessed as I had already been. In discussing it with a colleague, she was quite sure that my receiving channels were blocked because I had such a dilemma taking the 1st one and left the 2nd one for someone else. Do you agree? We are, afterall, all free to see and believe as we do. I know myself to be a recovering over-giver. Yet! In compassionate reverence, I see that I received and then allowed another to receive. Seems like the best of both to me. I would love to know what you think, friend. In the circle of free will, we always have choice!

For my part, I continue to use my creative voice. Here @ New Thought Families, there's free streaming spiritual resources including those found on our Multimedia page, Free Shelf, and For Humanity ABC daily Play and Pray calendar.

For your part, you are a faith filled soul here with your caring consciousness, doing your part to help awaken humanity to our higher possibilities through your beautiful embodied divinity. Namaste, Love!
