I usually do a Winter Wellness blog in November. I suggest homeopathics, herbs, vitamins and essential oils to promote health during the fall and winter seasons. This year I wrote a “Part One” for Mental Wellness first. I thought we were in for a month or more of not knowing the outcome of the presidential race. Given my sign off of Peace, Love and Healing I assume I am “speaking to the choir” (mostly.) Today I am hearing a chorus of shock and disbelief, and my voice is one of the many.

Who are these Americans who voted for - that? I spent time with my guides (it’s a group), who always said Harris would win. Guidance is correct at the moment it’s given – but the longer the time frame, the more intervening variables can affect the outcome. When I checked in the day of voting it had become a maybe.

Was it misogyny? Racism? Was it hate – anger, fear? The answer was disinformation – and yes, the fear it engendered. I think those people who were listening to the wrong sources will be surprised, to say the least. This election will impact every aspect of our lives no matter your political persuasion.

Here is a preview: all civil servants will be fired and replaced with “loyalists”. The Justice Department will be persecuting the “enemies from within” – the very people who are in a position to fight back. The fourth estate, journalism, will be replaced by state propaganda. Elon Musk will deliver on his message of hardship as he dismantles social programs and dispenses with regulation. Our health will be overseen by someone whose brain has been eaten by a worm (no vaccines, medicine, or evidence-based science.) If you were disturbed by book banning in schools, no worries – the Department of Education will be eliminated. Women will be denied education, birth control and healthcare – and even possibly the right to vote.

We will be an ally (puppet?) of Russia. Putin interfered in our elections - even making bomb threats to polling places on the day of voting. Ukraine’s democracy will be history. Nethanyahu will continue his genocide; he’s already bulldozing infrastructure in abandoned areas to create “beautiful oceanfront properties.” What will the military do when asked to round up millions of people and put them into internment camps?

I had been saying Trump had the army (er, cult), the billionaires had the money, and the Heritage Foundation et al had the 900-page PLAN. Now they have seized all three parts of our government – the Executive, the Congress, and the Judiciary. The Electoral College has long favored Republicans; they built on that with gerrymandering and voting restrictions. What’s wrong with this picture? Democrats have won the popular vote in every presidential election for the last 20 years.

The whole world was counting on America to protect freedom, democracy, and the PLANET. The US will no longer be addressing climate change. The planet will survive, if only by destroying the human race! WE were the ultimate experiment, not democracy. Given a large brain, the ability to direct or at least influence our consciousness, what will we do? The answer right now is “get up to no good”.

Sound alarming? Devastating? Depressing? Post election I had decided to focus my efforts on our self-care, supporting personal development and evolution. Because ultimately that does affect the whole cosmic mess we find ourselves in.

Break up with the media for a while. Take time to feel. Hold your loved ones close. Be in community. We ARE the land of the free, and the home of the brave. Stay with me for more positive inspiration as we get through this - together.

Still, and always –

Peace, love and healing
