The Transcendent Rainbow Cafe - social space for LGBTI members

It would be so great to have a thread here where we can chat about almost anything. We can have fun, tell jokes, share stories, you name it!

There's a "BB Cafe" thread in the general area where lots of people chat daily and have established some nice light hearted conversations, it's treated as if it's a real cafe, there's even virtual baked goods and coffee!

Let's create a chat here for anyone to join, in particular the GLBTIQ community to let their collective hair down and chill out. It's a safe space to be yourself.

We just need a name 🙂

Hi Jo,

I'm all over my mental place lately, & even a small 'one thing more' added feels like an overwhelming weight for days at a stretch.

I had another frustrating day, having decided to do some online shopping )KMart this time), & all the while, feeling uncomfortable about buying things so unrealistically inexpensively I cannot but think the people producing these things are working for pennies I don't like it.

Anyway, that was later & it feels like this morning was another day entirely.

I woke from one of my extraordinary dreams. It was a 'real' feeling dream, & extremely beautiful in parts.

The land was rough and very alive, with animals, which I was a little nervous about, but all I did was shoo them away. It was lush with green shrubs, too, but with paths visible here & there. I di get lost & couldn't easily find my way following after some other people, who had gone before me, & were swimming & playing in the shallow water below me.

As I wandered, trying to find the path they had taken, I encountered, separately, two people, both living there, wanting to be isolated, & somewhat annoyed at all the people. But they did not hassle me, instead, they slipped away, disappearing, as it were, back into the environment.

I looked down into the bright blue water, & then I knew the way. I knew the water was just a little cool. It had been calm and with gentle ripples. I knew I was late arriving, but it would still be well worth the time I would have there.

& of-course I woke up. It as the best sleep I'd had for quite a while. & waking up, at first feeling the sensations of the dream, as they faded & my reality returning, & I really wished I didn't have to wake up again. I really wonder, why do I have to have such dreams only to have to wake up? It just makes the waking more difficult, & less acceptable. I really resent it.

I am happier seeing you have dropped by, so, I'll fill your thermos, fetch some of the bikkies I made earlier for you, but you know, I'd feel better if you'd rest a while before going out again?

& Jo, Your ☮️ has a lavender-purple background! My ☮ does not! (no, no. I think I am not jealus...am I?Are a cat's eyes often green?) 😼 Have some more bikkies...

Stay safe,

mmMekitty

Good morning everyone , a restful day full of peace and tranquility ❤️❤️❤️

Coffee tea and chai & cake . 🎂 . LD is assisting me slow and low cooking a small pig on a spot with fire baked veg ! For breaky we have eggs how you like them . ❤️❤️❤️

mmMekitty , I understand your feeling like staying in the dream . There are many times in my waking journey that are less than pleasant also . As my world crumbles I try harder and harder to locate the silver lining within the maelstrom around me . Sometimes it is not at all evident for some time but I feel it is there .

With hindsight now I see very clearly that my entire life has been training me in some way and none of it was unescessary !

I am fascinated that you speak of my purple light . Your spot on . I am very glad it shows now ( hugs ) . Your perception is vast .

Many years ago I heard of a spiritual healer who I went to as a person wanting peace in my seemingly tormented life . When I met her we were already friends ? She was waiting for me . After a period of time she wanted to train me ( finer points I guess ) to carry on her work . I declined as I was not ready to go there then . I already knew but she confirmed for me love is the conqueror of everything . The love I speak of is always around us . If we reflect and learn on our journey we can learn in small steps to acsess it , it is pure and so very precious . We can only be conduits for it . Definitely it is not a commodity . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️☮️

Much love from the never never to all , Jo&HRS/LD ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐾💃🌈💖☮️🌺

Morning, Jo,

Brekky sounds wonderful, though I must say, that 'slow and low cooking a small pig on a spot 'has got me fascinated. LOL

Happy Birthday to those out there whose Birthday it is this October 24! 🎂🎇💖🎶Happy Birthday to You!🎉🎈 🎷🎶🎁 🥂(that's apricot nectar), 🍹,🍨 & other good food & music all day! 🎆tonight!

Dance with me, LD, never mind your greasy paws - I'll clean them for you, quick smart.

We'll have swimming in the dam up here, it's suddenly Summer! *splutter, splutter* but the cool water is good... It's something that could feel like it could heal something on days like today. (in reality, I'll have a cool shower instead).

Take care, & may there be many moments of joy & peace you notice today.

Oh, Jo, I use my Zoom up to 400% to check what is actually on the screen, my big tv screen is my PC's monitor, & I still need so much zoom whenI want to really be sure of what I'm looking at, or editing when I'm listening to my text-to-speech & I'm getting confused with what it is saying, so I still want to see the page. Me wanting to control, wanting to be correct, wanting to know, all of these, I think. That's something I would like to not feel so strongly about, & just let things go... & I do get annoyed to discover, later, that a mistake got past my editor's eye/ear. When I cannot get in there & fix those errors, I have to let them go. Mind, the reading is better when my text-to-speech is not interrupting with, "spelling error".

Hi Jo,

Yes, I have discovered that you dash off to the BB Café or is it the other way round? 😺 No worries, I have simply taken up residence there, too! it means more food for mmm😸mmmmmMekitty!

& LD will never be out of work!

The auto correct is so idiosyncratic I wonder that it knew 'indiosycratic' was spelled correctly by me! Because I am rather pedantic about such things, & don't like my text-to-speech software announcing 'spelling error' every time that it encounters them, I do like that it does while I am writing, so I hear instantly when I have made a typing mistake. Editing does get confusing when going back & forth trying to correct what I want & not making more errors in the process. It sure does throw up some funny mistakes itself, sometimes. What a difference a single letter makes! It could so easily have been 'spat'! 😺

Don't neglect to stop & stretch your legs sometimes. Maybe take in the scenery for a few minutes. & as you say, you are way out west, so listen to how quiet it is when your truck's motor is not running.

Much peace ☮️ & joy 🌸to you.

Happiest day for everyone , stay warm and safe , xxxx hugs ❤️❤️❤️

Cafe is open but quiet , LD & I will get you whatever we have . ❤️❤️❤️

I have spent many hours and pushed out many kilometres on the recumbent trike on rollers in my lounge in the last few years . A pleasant way to spend the early hours ! Many wonderful recollections to , quite a few I have shared here also .

The last 11 months have been quite a journey , some extremely high moments and a few low ones with 2 very low ones .

Hindsight tells me that I am blessed and so very lucky for my journey , difficult as it has been . The value of life cannot be overstated . My guardian angel has had to work hard at times ( very hard really ) .

I have in the last 11 months found my tribe and a place to belong . Everyone in this space has had to work hard and go through so very much to get here ❤️ .

We are here to help others and help those who are at that point where they have to enter this space . When you get to that point , reach out , you are not alone xxxx hugs ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌈🌺

Mountains of care acceptance respect kindness & above all unconditional love , from the never never , Jo&HRS/LD ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐾🍩🌈💕💖🌺
