This Merc Retro Cycle & the lesson this time is family and love

The lesson in this Merc Retro time is about family, love, forgiveness, closeness, love and finding our tribe – too many of us are way too alone. People have gone too far within themselves and just at home, some of this is because of xbox & social media – I was out to dinner with my daughter today & we both noticed that over 75% of the people had their phones or I’pads out and not talking to each other – that was sad to both of us & we were glad that we were talking to each other.

We try to take that time together and still get to know each other & I am grateful for that time with her, she does still live at home and we are both ok with that, does not mean that we do not have lives apart from one another but I do not believe you have to throw your kids out at 18 or 50 as long as you get along and help each other in roommate ways. Even if we were both to get married we would be fine sharing a home or living next door to each other. I still remember my father telling us all you will be moving out at 18 and that put fear in all of us, way too young, so I moved out at 16 and that was too young to start out in the world.

This has been an interesting one so far, so many people are feeling sad and really un-grounded/un-centered and like they do not know where they belong. So many people at this time in our lives are trying to make decisions about what is next for them, I am seeing many friends, couples , families splitting up or moving far away from each other where as at this point and time in the Universe and Economy we need each other, more than ever. I know that I wish I would have stayed way more in touch with so many of my old friends as we get older it is hard to meet new people and build a new circle.

Families should stick together, if they are good for each other, most things can be worked on, if we all want and choose to do so. I remember when the .COM industry started and so many people moved away from their families and friends & at that time it seemed like an exciting beginning for so many people, then it fell apart and many could not even afford to go back home and now as I am watching those people get older and they are far away from the family of origin and people they grew up with they are feeling more lonely because they are apart.

One good thing I have noticed about living in Las Vegas, I see that family do stay together and they even live together without the stigma of why have you not moved out yet? They do not judge each other and no matter what has happened in their childhood they still love each other and forgive each other. So many people hold grudges forever for no reason it is such a waste of life and time, so this Merc Retro is about finding one another again, dating again, saying hi to your loved ones, decide that no one is perfect and hang onto the people you care about.

People need each other and more as we get older, so many readings lately have been about why has my best friend just not called me? Try and remember we need each other more than we may ever even know.

Enough rambling just reach out and try to meet new people too, this is the hardest town I have ever been in to meet new people no one trusts each other, people ask me what do I miss about Oregon or Seattle – Tasha & I both say at the same time – NICE PEOPLE that want to know each other, I doubt this is where we stay forever, we miss the friendliness of Oregon/Washington.
