Missing Peggy J

Peggy J was a member here when this pod started.  She was my 3rd friend here at Zaadz and I believe we had great respect for each other.  I respected that she was in her 70s and therefore had about 20 yrs of experience on me.  I loved her personality.

Her first message to me was -

Many Blessings Dear One……

Sometimes, in the past, I have looked up at the stars & said, to whom ever might hear my heart,     Please folks….  my plate is full… i need to digest this first….  & then I'll open my heart to more…

Peace be yours
PJ

Now there is a warning attached to this precious early message from a Zaadzster that says

This user is no longer a member of Zaadz. If you received this message recently, then it's very likely that it is a scam or some type of spam message. Never give out personal information to strangers via e-mail or on-line.
Love, The Zaadz Team.

Wow -

Her second note to me after telling her I was overwhelmed was -

:):):)

I am going to ask a favor….

Will you please visit the   FUSION-ZAANGHA GLOBAL COMMUNITY  pod, & go into the     zLounge in THE SOUL OF ZAANGHA…  there, & start a discussion on just what we are talking about in our emails…..

My intention for the Fusion pod is all about the tiny & big ways we build relationships & show how those relationships move towards changes in the world….  (building homes from natural products… whatever) & that it is a lot about gratitude without rejection…..  about anything…  it is about pulling together to make changes in ourselves & as a community…

I'd deeply appreciate your support in this…

And I said -

I really had to chuckle when i read your note.  I could not believe, after the discussion we have been having, that you were asking me to add another task to my day.

But just today, it has come to me, the impact that Zaadz has the potential for, with the simple little purchase of a music CD because the songwriter asked me to be their friend.

So, your favor is granted.  You will see what I wrote there (in the Fusion-Zaangha - Recycling thread).  I hope this was along the lines you had in mind.  If not, just let me know.  I joined your pod as well.

And she kindly said -

OMZ!!!!!

You did far more than I ever dreamed!!!!   Deep bows of gratitude Deborah!  This is fantastic;)!

My g-d next thing you know we'll be building houses with corks  LOL

Love you!!
PJ

This is the Peggy J who I grew to know, not well, but respectfully, in the short time I had with her (Jan thru June).  I missed a brief note by Aley elsewhere, at the end of June, that said of Peggy J - “PJ is ont here in this POD anymore.:(   At least right now.  She decided  to stop revisiting her old stories.”  I do know she was going through some incredible internal growth when she last posted anywhere.

I don't know exactly what happened but she is [deleted].  I discovered it here in this pod, when I was looking at old posts.  I have posted about this in my blog and over at the ZLounge in The Shrine and this is the last I'm going to post about it.  She posted here in these places …under Daily Living Aspects discussion in our first thread Patterns in Nature and The Soul's Code (a thread she started), in the Not Too Attracted thread under the Law of Attraction discussion.

Peggy J - wherever you are, you will be missed by me … not everyone gets missed in this world - hugs …

Re: Missing Peggy J

I do hope all is well with Peggy J.

Re: Missing Peggy J

Me too..PJ was more of a friend in the two short months I knew her than some are over a whole lifetime.

She is an inspiration and is missed.

Re: Missing Peggy J

Peggy J is still with me.

I found her amongst childrens smiles, in collective prayers, in celebration :-)

How many people do we come across who touch us profoundly, who move us to action, who inspire us to continue in a chosen direction?
How many of them are absent from our lives day to day and ever with us in spirit anyway?

On Friday I was questioning the value of a trip to London amongst my busy schedule of things to do back at base. I got into the lift in the hotel and came downstairs, the doors opened and 3 littel African children were waiting to go up :-) I smiled and my concerns melted.
I went in to where the breakfast was being served, a place in UK hotels where you can here pins drop, where our restrained conversatons and fear of looking up from newspapers you can cut with a knife!
The room however was being prepared for 30+ visitors, tables and chairs being put together, then I saw why, 30 young Nigerian children on route to Heathrow were our fellow guests for breakfast. Their individual and collective laughter, energy and sense of adventure filled the room, it lifted the conversations around the room, normally heads down, no talking was lifted into laughter, lively talk and and a sense of lightness.

I went on to a celebration of the work of a charity, it was being held at a church. The predominance was black African people and the energy was even higher than at breakfast, we sang, we prayed, we laughed and cried, Peggy J and you were with me.

Like any day our time is valuable, we think to one thing over another, but one thing became very clear, tere is no greater value to our lives than that of the presence of spirituality, of togertherness and of common experience.

A unification prayer was shared, the trustees and workers of the charity concerned were called to the front, then all the present ministers and people of the cloth. They all shared prayers out loud at the same time for the group, it was powerful, present and tears fell from my eyes like a tropical storm, the workers were all holding hands, the offerers of the prayers facing them, the congregation calling out it's own 'amen's' and 'alelluia's'.

My concerns for my time had melted as I walked out of the lift, by afternoon they were another world away.

The finding was this …
When our batteries need a boost we may fear the lack of time.
When our batteries have been charged there is no time BUT the present.
In the present, Peggy J and you are with me, everyone is with us.
In the present Peggy J and us are at one.

Let us seek only our union, only our oneness, only our connection, only our unconditional appreciation for this moment. Here we are always in each others arms.

Love and appreciation to you and Peggy J

Re: Missing Peggy J

To all of the above…. you dears bring food to this heart & tears of joy & saddness…..

I must be very transparent to all here & tell you why I left… I do this to help move all of us along a little further in being more honest & upfront as we live our lives day to day; do we always dig down & pull up the full truth for all to see, or do we hide behind fake smiles?  That was my question to me when I decided to tell the truth here.

It was a personal growth thing when I left zaadz, a selfish thing, a feeling sorry for myself thing, a whole lot of facing health issues & crumbling mind thing….. and my computer died thing… well on & on….

Okay enough of that!

I stopped sitting at this desk 5-6 hours a day and looked in other directions for awhile… always learning always seeking to understand… always challenging my thoughts…

But I got very lonely without all of you so when Samme blogged about Missing Peggy J & when Princess called me I decided to return…
I have missed all of you too!!!!!!!!!!!!

Much love to all
PJ

Welcoming the Return of Peggy J

Peggy,

A very warm and joyful welcome back to the pod from me (and no doubt many of us here) who loved and cherished your presence back when we were still Zaadz.  You will find us every bit as dear as ever.

So, so happy to see you here with us !

Deb

Re: Missing Peggy J

To new beginnings and fresh journeys. To building up despite all the crumblings around us. What an exciting time! What doors will open next! Some great discussions yet to be discussed!
Only after putting on the timer and when it dings, time to move on to the many other things I have on plates spinning in the air right now.

Welcome home hunnay <<<in southern accent (a really bad one!)

Love and light,
Denise

Re: Missing Peggy J

I didn't know you when you were first here, Peggy; but have heard so much about you; that I am happy you're back.
