What are your goals for the new year? 1 years, 6 months ago
MY SUBTLE, BUT IMPORTANT 2024 GOALS
Dear Unsealed,
My goals for 2024 are somewhat different that in 1990 or 2007. I am 74 years old. I know my goals are different apparently because I am older and the fact, I survived long covid and the effects on my body and major surgery. I almost died April 2022. However, I am alive. I am a Virgo, Leo moon rising, born on the cusp of Libra. I shall talk about more subtle goals than I would have at 20, 30, 40, 50, 0r 60.
My goals are:
1. To remain healthy as possible.
2. To remain alive.
3. To continue my freelance writing and photography.
4. To continue to spread love and light.
5. To perhaps make a little extra money to help with bills.
6. To always see my doctor.
7. To continue my gluten free, lactose free diet as much as possible.
8. To walk more, swim if the weather permits.
9. To continue my meditation practices.
10. To analyze what I am doing and what another person means with their words as they speak to me or other people.
11. To cut back on clothes, shoe spending on Wish and Temu.
12. Be kind but not vulnerable the full 12 months of 2024.
I will wake up every morning to the sound of music playing through Google Mini or Alexa. I will remember my vivid dreams of people, places, things to write down the specifics of my dreams to create stories of inspiration, but to not forget that inspiration is a part of a negative experience to be brought out into the light. I will take care of my health and continue to think young. I will continue my political activist positions regarding human rights, women’s rights, LBGTQ rights, voting rights and democracy for all.
My goal to spread light, love and peace may sound repetitive to some people, but to me it is my most important goal for 2024 and beyond. Without peace, love, and light there would be continuous wars and evil wrongdoing in our society. So, there needs to be more people involved in this goal. Equality and human rights are not political as they are a humanitarian society procedure, not political.
I will spread light and love through my writing and photography with periodic checks of analyzing the good, the bad, the ugly in all facets of life on Earth.Sincerely,
Vicki Lawana Trusselli

LIFE HAPPENS AS WE FOLLOW THE LIGHT
Dear Unsealed,
Life happens.
LOVE IS A ROSE.
We touch the thorns,
As we pick the rose bud,
To smell the scent,
To learn about life and love.
I am about peace and love.
We all have setbacks,
life happens.
Love is a rose.
We touch the thorns,
As we pick the rose bud
To smell the scent,
To learn about life and love.
I am about peace and love.
We all have setbacks,
And must face a lack,
Of positive emotions but,
It’s how we react to the negativity,
Of arrows thrown at our backs
I move forward because,
There are situations one faces
Day after day,
Night after night,
There are people that I can’t control anyway,
So, I move forward day by day,
Night after night,
Seeking the light,
Of love and peace,
To no longer run away in fight or flight.
I want to love again.
I laugh.
I cry.
I sigh.
The universe expanding my life,
But not in strife.
Positive ions flow all around the world.
It’s catching them,
Holding them,
That lifts our spirits of
Light.
Even though we seem
To be sad.
God never promised me a rose garden without thorns.
To all my relations

"USED TO BE YOUNG"
Dear Unsealed:
I used to be young.
I am still young at heart.
I woke up one morning to wipe my eyes,
From the tears that flowed down my face
So desperate to forget about the lies,
So forward moving I place my hand under my eye.
To feel the wet tears, roll down my face.
I had a dream of joy and happy days,
As tears roll by
Down my face
I realize I am old now and still have love to give,
But despite love to give
I only needed to learn to love myself, to live,
To write, to paint, to live
The rest of my decades by myself
As I was told old ladies can be a pain to look at
I used to be young and free.
I thought I was ugly as a young child.
As a woman to I looked in the mirror
At myself, when all the while
The type of people who told me that,
Were mean, jealous and controlling asses.
I now awake to a world of virtual reality of life,
Love laughter and
Still trying to prove myself I am deserving as a woman,
To love to laugh to live.
You told me old ladies should die.
You told me I cannot dance.
You told me I cannot love.
But I feel love of a virtual reality relationship,
But I miss touching, caressing, I miss love.
I tell you I can wear my hair my way.
I tell you I can write.
I can dance.
I can love again at a glance,
Of a young heart
But then I remember the joy pain and heartache
Of a real in person relationship
So, it goes the same way,
In my golden years I still care
I still can love.
I still have feelings.
I still hurt, cry, and laugh.
The difference between pain of love loss
Online and in person, is just that,
Just that pain of giving my heart to a virtual dude I have never met,
But
I say I can dance, I can write, I can cry, I can love,
Yet I miss the touching of hand on my shoulder,
A hug
A walk on the beach
A pain in my heart still lives,
Of past dances, past romances, past loves
Past present future
Are always with reality whether in person or virtual.
You tell me I should erase my life,
And all the strife.
Do not live in the past.
What you know means nothing
Think about your future.
I tell you seriously I live in the present 2023.
My future could be death.
My future could be 100.
Lightning and thunder
Forces of nature.
We are all in this world together.
We all have a past, present and future.
To live, to love, to laugh to cry.
To learn to love one another,
Together as humanity
And I converse with AI to say AI is our BFF
I might be old,
But I still have a past, present and future.
Where did the idea appear that,
A young human tells their grandparents to forget their past.
Me, I have stories to write, photos to take,
To live my life just like that
With a reality in person and virtual
Of the past, present and future.Subscribe  or  log in to reply

"OF LOVE, LIGHT, DARK OF CRITIQUE"
Dear Unsealed:
We live in a world of critical anger and so much hate.
We live in a world of so much love and give and take.
We live in a world of billions of people
who wake up everyday.
We live in a world of people who search for the way.
We live in a world of such fear and fright and floght.
We live in a world of people who want full control of everyone.
We live in a world of the dark night of the soul.
We live in a world of fun.
We live in a world of hot and cold.
We live in a world of the proud and the bold.
We live in a world of so many people of light
of the day and night.
I have met the dark, the light.
I would rather be alone than,
to be with someone who critiques me
to protect their control over me,
’cause the one forcing control over everyone
are the powers that be
of the dark side of the moon
of the sun, the moon, the stars
of light shining through the dark
of the night of the soul,
to dance, to sing, paint
the rainbow of light of the day
shining through the
clouds of the storm of the decades of the faint
hearted,
peace, love,
all that jazz.
The music plays on
and on.
Dance my sisters, we are the world
of light and the universe of light
in the flight of love
shining bright.
Let’s make love.
Let;s watch the stars above
as we sit on the beach
watching the ocean spraying over our love
as we live in the light of the universe.Subscribe  or  log in to reply

Vicki, your words beautifully capture the duality of our world. Instead of letting the darkness control, you choose to embrace the light and freedom. I’m glad you chose peace. Beautiful letter!

"BE IN THE LIGHT"
Dear Unsealed:
To all my relations, my friends, to all lightworkers,
I am human.
I am a woman.
Watching people online,
Talking to people online,
People online hide behind masks,
of other deception oe lies or truth.
Thieves go online to steal money.
Thieves walk into a store at gunpoint to steal money.
Innocent people are targeted by thieves,
online and
reality of being.
We are human until we are no longer when
we are a spirit in the universe.
Today I light my Guadalupe candle.
Today I light my sage.
Today I light my incense.
I pray to the universe,
God omnipotent to protect
all innocent people from thieves online who are
desparate for money.
I pray for the homeless, the forgotten, the thieves.
I pray for peace and love.
Someone told me I was weak because I
believe in peace and love.
I pray to the universe above,
that surroundour planet.
I pray as a human being to my creator.
I pray for peace.
Without peace and love
what do we have?
I am human.
I am a woman.
To all my relations
May we all live in peace and love in the light.Subscribe  or  log in to reply

Thank you very much. this world is so crazy and corrupt with war and division. I have to keep positive as much as possible. I almost died of long-covid and major surgery in April 2022. I decided I would work for peace.
