Susan Louise Spear Bruhn

Susie
The writer. The poet. The dreamer.
Her heart was large. Distance meant nothing to her if she loved you.
Her almost daily emails were fun, humorous, inspirational, informative. There were many emails, for many years. I loved receiving them and looked forward to them. I came to rely on her amazing memory. She could recite details from our childhood that brought tears of joy to my eyes.
She sent me Christmas Cookies every December that were the real thing. Nothing out there on the market can compare.
I hadn't seen Susie since High School. In 2008, she reached out to me via email, and our journey as good friends picked up where it left off many years ago. Thank you, Susie, for finding me. You enriched my life over these past 11 years and you've left me with wonderful memories.
I thank God for the Spear family ~ an example of true family love. God sent people like you to nurture others and show them the way.
Farewell, my sweet friend, until we meet again.
May Angels keep you wrapped in love.

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
