I’m an American and I can’t imagine a world without Queen Elizabeth Ii. After so many years of service, may she rest In peace.
Congratulatons xxxxNo way! I didn't even realize it......thanks to you and all of the others here who make this site the joy that it is. We are all VIPS in my eyes....and I learn so much from each of you. While Lalande brought us here and unites us, I like to feel that kindness and caring also rule the day, no matter our differences in thought or life experience!
@The Simple Life - I appreciate you and the story you shared and I am sorry about the passing of your son. We never know how our words and actions can affect someone else; your story is a reminder about that.
i think the Queen had died a few hours ago, and they were waiting for family to arrive before announcing it. RIP Your MajestyNot the end of an era. It's the end of the Second Elizabethan Age.
Lady C posted a video announcing the Queen has died. Then, while I was watching it she pulled the video. I'm convinced that she's dead and they are arranging things behind the scenes before it's announced.
Energy never dies, it merely transforms.. we are all energy and are all connected. Spiritual beings having a human experience.I agree with your statement. My mother's presence is stronger in my life now than when she was physically here. It's different though. She's so much more than my mother, she's a part of the ever expanding universe as we all are. I take great solace from the teachings of the Buddha even though I never refer to myself as a Buddhist. We are and always will be. That's just my personal belief system, not for everyone, that's fine. To each his/her/undeclared own.
We are all connected through that energy. That is why when someone that has touched our lives, whether in person or not dies or leaves their body as I like to think of it, we feel so deeply their passing. I find it rather callous when people say, "But you didn't even know her." Well, maybe I did, maybe we all did in that connection that all sentient beings have.Energy never dies, it merely transforms.. we are all energy and are all connected. Spiritual beings having a human experience.
Just announced that Harry's wife will not be joining the family at Balmoral today. I don't believe that she'd be welcomed , especially at this time.
Nicholas is awful. He thinks he is royal. Once he became ‘ royal correspondent’ his voice and annunciation changed!Nicholas Witchell the BBC Royal Correspondent is so pants he keeps talking about the Queen in the past tense. I imagine that we are just waiting on Harry now
No worries xxxx
They are a newspaper/online. I am talking about broadcast media.Prefer Times of London coverage.
My exact thought. She can go be a country lady washing the dishes with Philip.I like to think that she is finally free, truly free for the first time in her life. It makes me less sad to think of her riding one of her beloved horse into the horizon and the next world.
Yes that is correctI have just read that if the Queen dies in Scotland (Balmoral) - Operation Unicorn comes into play involving initial transfer to Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh prior to onward transfer to England where London Bridge takes over. Just a snippet of extra info for those interested.
It's true... time is but a blink of an eye.. it's like the feeling you have when you meet a stranger but feel as if you know them. I believe that when we leave our physical bodies, our energy, spirit, vibration call it what you will, returns to the vastness of time and space that is the Universe, metaphysical and by doing so connects with the millions of energy particles that it holds. It is highly probable that this stranger that you meet connected and merged with your particles of energy and left an imprint within. I'm not sure if this makes sense but the fact is everything is vibrational, nothing is solid.We are all connected through that energy. That is why when someone that has touched our lives, whether in person or not dies or leaves their body as I like to think of it, we feel so deeply their passing. I find it rather callous when people say, "But you didn't even know her." Well, maybe I did, maybe we all did in that connection that all sentient beings have.
You guys are making me cryMy exact thought. She can go be a country lady washing the dishes with Philip.
My dear Summerbaby, THANK YOU THANK YOU Once again I must acknowlege what a great decision it was to join this group! Actually the first time I joined a forum, and I was lucky. Well, after all this was the great SJ's magic. Without her knowing, so many intelligent, highly sensitive, clever, cultivated, empathic people gathered together, driven by a same sense of justice and indignation for her life as a scammer and as a compulsive liar. And I too have learned so much from all of you, from your skills, from your comments, from your wit, from the unbelievable amount of specialized information you pour daily on these pages.I just want to say, that you are an exceptionally, remarkable and extremely strong woman to have come out the other side after what you personally experienced, AND, then went on to use your knowledge for the greater good for others. No mean feat and it must have been absolutely personally doubly heart breaking on many occasions all over again for you to do so too.
Reading your story touched me to my core and I too cried for you and the loss of your son. Words really did fail me.
I have always felt that many Tattlers are here simply because they had previously encountered Ns in their own lives - true integrity and justice are very high on my list of anybody being tolerated within my life these days - actions speak far louder than any words uttered, no doubt about it!
Once truly bitten, we recognise the signs/red flags and behavioural patterns all too easily once we have educated ourselves, gone through some kind of therapy (a given) and, at the end of all that, are therefore far more aware of the " N-type".
I would be really interested in your book once you have completed writing please.
I personally know an author of 2 books published by an internationally, well known publishing house (from memory, Penguin), of his own personal experience on the subject. No way on an academic level, but truly enlightening for anybody at the very beginning of their N awareness journey, e.g. constant denial, giving multiple second chances, added to which, the mind blowing cognitive dissonance - you know what I mean!
SJ and IJ are defo classic Ns imho! And, every N in my personal experience, are 100% greedy and materialistic too - just like they are. I have always stated, "what a way to live your life?". Just full of scheming/manipulation and jealousy, lacking in any kind of empathy for others and, most importantly, totally joyless in reality - all the while, they hide behind their public mask!
I have for years thought of N'ism as being truly depicted by Oscar Wilde's, The Picture of Dorian Gray.
All power to you @The Simple Life.
