My Prince’s Gift: “Connected in spirit.” It’s with mixed emotions I share that I helped Prince transition this evening around 5 p.m., East Coast time. I held him in my arms, with my hand on his heart. In true “Prince form” … on our ferry ride, he attempted to bite the nice ferry man, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Step up into love.” After our daily r-i-d-e, I spent the rest of the day on the couch watching movies and napping with the kids.

My Prince’s Gift: “You are not alone.” Missy was letting Prince know today that he is not alone in our family of going through what he is; she is there as well as his other brothers are. I am confident he’s receiving energy from a number of people who care about and/or have come, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “We’re all connected.” I loved seeing the rainbow sign as I often take those as signs that I’m on the right path, or what I’m thinking of or wondering about in in alignment.

My Prince’s Gift: “Believe in magic.” I was talking to a friend tonight commenting on how it seems Prince has been living off of air and “energy” the last couple of weeks. He’s eaten so little, even going a few days without no food that I was aware of. Of course, he could be, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Accept support and comfort.” This is an interesting one for me to write about. Most of my life I’ve been the one who has been offering support and/or comfort to others, starting with when I was a child.

My Prince’s Gift: “Spend time with nature.” When we were outside, it quickly became clear that this would be today’s “gift”.
