G ~ is for......Goddess of course !!

but is St. Therese a Goddess? I think so, or maybe an aspect of the Goddess. I love her! She sat with me while I went through my radiation treatment... she is my chosen Saint for confirmation. I was lucky enough to see her relics when they visited Australia and when I touched the casket, a shot of electricity went up my arms and through to my feet. It was then, that I was healed. Why do I not remember these things in the dark moments of my days? ~ this picture of St. Therese hangs in my bedroom.. with the Goddess doll that Daisy made me... underneath is a little shelf that has a tea-light on it...
Then we have Garnock, who hangs by my door, holding a small tea-light to light the way for visitors... I bought Garnock the week Daisy died.... reminds me of her every time I look at him


Gluten free..... these gluten free products are wonderful. At last I have found a small range of foods to make my life a little easier... but I still miss eating bread..

now let me take you up the Garden path.... from the front yard to the back, this path meanders up the side... some gorgeous perfumed plants... daphne, rose & lillies... a wild place that faeries must love...

through the Gate...


and onto the Gateway to faeryland

I am Green. I green clean and I garden green... a few of my green cleaning products... I also use bi-carb soda, lemon and apple cider vinegar... no dreadful chemical smells at all. so good for our health and even better, so good for Mother Earth - GAIA.


that is G for me..... Green. Goddess. Gaia.....

you know what I've figured out that all women are elements of goddess, just like all men are elements of god.

we are all divine. your st theresa is how divine speaks to you.

As always, a lovely post. I love getting little glimpses of your world and getting to know more about you and just, in general seeing you. The Goddess is very pleased indeed that you have truly come home to her. You have served her for oh, so long or you wouldn't have volunteered for this assignment. I feel at home when I come here for a visit!Thank you for inviting me again and again. Blessings on your Good home and hearth! Sr.K

OMG Robyn... I also went and saw the casket of St. Theresa and when I touched the box(?) with her remians I burst out crying. I bought the candle, and still have it... it was a truly special experience. I have also been to lourdes..now thats another v v special place.
I also use those products... but have never seen the blue loo cleaner..wow must go see next time I am out shopping. I love the spray and use it everywhere and big bonus it does NOT make me sneeze...!!!

Dearest Robyn,

Your picture/shrine to St. Theresa is so beautiful and peaceful. Your description of the healing at touching her relics chilling and deeply moving.

Your photo of the gluten free products reminds me that I need to expand on MY gluten free repertoire. Thank you.

Your garden and the lovely ramble through it was a delightful start to my day.

Blessings,
Annie

Sense I start having asthma problem I have to be careful of chemical I use to clean with.
But I like them to do a good job although.

I’m sure glad you had some one with you during the treatment sometime those you can see in flesh as mortal is best ones to have around.

Not much gardening here yet but I do have some bulbs poking though the ground and I even got a picture of them.

I think she would be pleased you think of her as a Goddess.

Robyn
Perfect choices for this week. I love the painting. Also just to let you know that I still have not recieved a package from the fairy swap. I sent you an email about it.

Barbara said...

Good choices for G! Your picture of St Theresa is stunning.

Laurie said...

LOVE all your "G's"...especially St. Therese, I found her after reading she was a patron saint (among other things) for the loss of a parent. Your garden gate is beautiful and I like how you use all the natural things for cleaning. I have been trying to get my husband away from the idea that everything needs to be cleaned with industrial strengh cleaners. I will keep trying!
Sending you hugs, have a blessed weekend!

Sheila said...

We now have a huge range of 'green' cleaners etc available. It's about time, we seemed to lag behind everybody else for so long.
Your garden look huge, is it?
