Indeed, Dear Ones, footloose and fancy free.
This is a term meaning ‘without responsibilities and commitments, plus the ability to move wherever and whenever the inspiration moves’. And this, Dear Ones, is precisely how our dearest is feeling. Footloose and fancy free!
Naturally, our dearest has ‘relationships’, particularly her personal relationships with our Dear Heart Keith, her life partner, and her daughter, our Dear Heart Veronica. However, this is where her commitments end. Little are her ties, in this sense of the word.
No, our dearest is without commitments of the usual sort, and is fully committed to the work that has sustained her for the past number of decades: The work of supplanting the myths that have been the basis of life for many.
Only this past day a conversation between herself and Keith covered the truth that, as spirit, we do not have gender. Our dearest ones were discussing the issue of inequality between the sexes, and the strides that have been gained in closing the gap.
And this, Dear Ones, is synonymous to the term ‘footloose and fancy free’. That is: The ability to view the Earth Fantasy with all its misgivings, as it is viewed by those of us, in spirit, who are entertained. That is: As a giant movie of death and destruction, sickness and health, love and marriage, debauchery and crime, greed, delight, creativity. Indeed, the Earth Fantasy is a hotchpotch of entertainment. Oh yes, Dear Ones, our dearest understands this well, and lives this truth on a daily basis.
This does not mean that she is not compassionate toward those suffering the miseries abounding, nor that she does not delight in the success of those overcoming. No, Dear Ones, our dearest is fully cognizant of the subtleties of human experience. However; swift come the realisations of truth. Indeed, the truth can no longer be kept from exposing any matter.
Some years past we asked our dearest and our Dear Heart Veronica to live the truth of their teachings. Today, for our dearest, this is a fait accompli. Not quite so for our Dear Heart Veronica, but nearly so.
And what is the outcome of living truth?
Footloose and Fancy Free.
Many Blessings, Dear Ones. Many Blessings to All

What a beautiful feeling, to be free!
It most certainly is, Dorothy.
This feeling hit me quite solidly once I accepted that it was okay for me ‘not’ to dance. It seems that was the last bastion of wrong thinking, so to speak. Obligation, concern, doing for others; there was so much involved in that one attitude – it was holding me prisoner without me even realising.
Who knows what the future will bring? – I generally do, however, not this time! There is, however, this incredible feeling of the future being ‘open’; open to so many possibilities, or not! It really doesn’t matter. Whatever comes I know it will be tinged with a continuum of being ‘right’…
Hoping life is good for you too…

Ah, the ‘what will people think’ trap! It’s a good exercise to write down the names of this group of nameless people. Those who love you will alway support you. Those who don’t? Why would one care enough to not change for them?
“Ah, the ‘what will people think’ trap!”
Yes indeed, Dorothy – me included!!!
It came as quite a surprise to ‘me’ when I began questioning whether I wanted to dance, or not. Dance has been an integral part of my life the past two decades; something I always longed to do and loved to do. So when these feelings of ‘not wanting’ began to surface, my sense of ‘self’ was shaken. Along with that came the ‘am I able to do this; is this what I truly want? Then came the disappointment I knew Keith would suffer – and did.
However, over a number of weeks, and Keith’s knees giving him concerns, he realised that life was still to be one of enjoyment. And here we are enjoying our new found freedoms.
I have taken up (more seriously) weight lifting and various exercise regimes – something I have always enjoyed.
As for the ‘what will people think trap! For me it has been more a question of ‘supporting’ those within the dance world. I have been relied upon, in many ways, to ‘be there’. To not want to ‘be there’ took time for me to evaluate and realise that life will go on, not only for me but also for those who depended upon me in this regard. Letting go has been a difficult process, but one I’ve come through and now realise I did so much out of the feeling of obligation, and not out of love for ‘the dance’, or for me.
Long story short, Dorothy:
You are so right. Caring for those who truly don’t love you leads to self harm. Whilst those who truly love you will always support your life choices; no matter what…
Thank you for your support… 💖
After writing this extremely long and awkward response The C.C. came to my rescue. I transcribed their words (as they advised) into the following Episode (53). I am always so grateful for their love and honour. I now have a clear appreciation of the circumstances that brought me to the situation of today. I am forever blessed.

New paths for everyone involved, how exciting now!
