Well, with this particular surgery, it's been quite different from what I had anticipated. Going in, I was nervous thinking, oh my God, the pain that I'm going to be in, as well as, oh my God, I'm losing a part of my body that I've had for over 60 years.

What a wild thing to think about!

But most of my life, starting actually around high school, I've had issues with my knees to the point where I am today. Bow-legged, or at least half bow-legged, period. I've heard over the years that knee pain in the spiritual realm can be seen as a physical manifestation of resilience to change or a feeling of being stuck. Oh, geez. Really? No kidding! Within the last 10 years, I have been working physically and spiritually on getting rid of these issues. When I first went to the doctor, they said I was too young. At the age of 50. Oh, what a compliment. During these last 10 years, I've been to many doctors’ appointments, getting cortisone shots, gel shots, and physical therapy, which none lasted long at all to make my knees better. Ha!

Also, over the last 10 years, I've been doing lots of healing, growing, learning, and leading at the Gathering Lighthouse. Who would have thought, who would have thought that meditating, healing energy, cutting cords from the past, breathing sound baths, Wednesday evenings with our community, which is a huge part for me, would give me the strength to become stronger within myself?

Don't get me wrong, it's been a long road with all that has happened in the last five years with my husband, Dave, esophageal cancer survivor, mom AKA June, with all her health issues, and dad AKA Bill, with dementia. Such a sad thing to watch. All in all, just life itself and taking care of them has been a lot.

Two years ago, I went through some tough times with having an abscess on my fallopian tube that had to be removed. Then I had a perforation in my bowel, which again meant surgery. On top of that, four infectious diseases. Talk about a whirlwind. I had no idea how bad it was. I had to be home for weeks with antibiotics and had to rely on everyone else in my world. What? What? I guess that was a sign. Slow down.

I had no choice. And boy, oh boy, did they all show up. My family, Dave, Chris, Amanda, Abby, Austin, J, Joe, Kelsey, Kyle, Patty, Jim, Christopher, Bill, Kelly, mom and dad, my friends Nicole, and the board members from the Gathering Lighthouse. They even put together A wonderful self-care package of coloring books, Mark Daily Affirmation, a jade alien, and much more. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Rest in peace 🦋Nicole🦋. That absolutely kept me grounded and reminded me too that I am worthy of a happier, healthier, stronger life. So, to come back to the now 7 days ago, I had a full knee replacement, and I cannot believe how well I'm doing. I'm able to walk up the stairs with more ease than I have had in 10 years. I am so fortunate to have my men at the house who have supported me in so many ways, like my son Austin bringing my new reclining chair up to the second bedroom. Thank you, thank you, AKA the Babe Cave. Grateful to my husband, David, for always being there when I need him. My mom, June, and daughters Amanda and Abby for being there to take me to my PT daily. Until next week, then it's three times a week.

What I've learned about myself through this process is that I don't have to do it all. That's a hard one to swallow since I usually do it all by myself. Today, as I was talking to my friend Lisa, going back to the feeling part of losing my knee or taking a piece of me, I was telling her I how it doesn't hurt like I thought it would. And she said to me, “If you think about it, you've been released from your past traumas and now you have room for a new start. To let it go and move on with ease.”

Wow. Never thought about it that way. How amazing a start over at 60. Who would have thought of that when I started this 10 years ago? You know, I've watched my mom go through so much in the last few years, and I find strength, strength within myself by watching her feel the pain and do it anyway. Sometimes we have no choice.

When I grow up, I want to be just like her. Strong, powerful, fearless, and a badass. People have asked her, “What do you do to look younger after all you have been through?” And she's like, “I don't know. Every time there was or is a bump in the road, I just hit it straight on and I just keep walking and putting one foot in front of the other.”

Being said by someone who couldn't even walk at one point. And also to be the founder at 70 years old of the Gathering Lighthouse Man, I'm thinking there's more to this than we know. I believe you don't have to. We come from another galaxy. Mom and I have both been told we are from the Pleiadians.

Alien blood Rh-negative. The signs are there for me. Why did Dave and I see a UFO in the 80s in Addison, Illinois? And yes, no drugs were involved. Why was mom given a reading stating she also is from the Pleiadians over 30 years ago?

She too, is RH negative. Has something to do with it. Again, I believe you don't have to.

Why? Within the last seven to 10 years, my family, Mom Patty, Amanda, Bill, and I had a reconnective healing session done with a soul portrait painting done by Ginger and Christina. In my particular painting, My Soul, at that time she said to me, “You are a Pleiadian.” Very interesting that all five of us had done our paintings and sessions years apart, some remotely. Mom was actually in the hospital; my brother lives out of state. His painting was done remotely. Although if you look at them, they all resemble each other. Hmm, kind of interesting. And then let's go back to my care package. Where did 🦋Nicole🦋 find my Jade healing alien?

I don't know. It's amazing. Just these little things that come.

The strength that runs through my family goes way back, and I'm finally starting to figure it out in today's world. I love and have had the privilege to have the parents I do. They both have been hardworking physically and emotionally throughout their lives. It's taken many, many years with lots of ups and downs. Although the only thing that has always been the same and has never changed is the love that our parents have shown us all these years.

Mom and Dad are 82 and 83 now, and I'm still learning something new from them on a regular basis. Always stay humble and kind.

-Much love, Margie Panter
