H is for ~......... hurry up Harry !!!!

I thought I might be able to introduce Harry but still no sign of my new grand-baby-to-come... I thought he might be born today as it is my friend Peter's 75th birthday! But maybe he will be born exactly 9 months to the day he was conceived... 9 months ago the day Daisy died. Who knows. Only he does I guess, plus his guardian angel. He is all ready to come, his head is engaged, he is facing the right way and his mum is ready for sure !!! But he must wait til all the stars are in exact alignment for his life he has chosen. I hope he will be born in the sign of Pisces.....
I wandered around early this morning, even before the sun peeked out... to find some H words.... at first I couldn't think or find any but came up with a few from my own corner of the world in Woodford...the first one is under the apple tree..

I HANG my jumpers on coathangers to dry in the shade of the branches of my ancient apple tree... this is a vintage crocheted cardigan.. I love it! as hot a pink as you will ever find.. I wear it with a skirt, leggings and my Dr.Martens. Then we have my HENS... they thought I was going to feed them, so they stood very still while I took this photo...

below is a bee HIVE that I have in my garden. There are no bees who live in it but oneday I would love to have my own bees. I am looking into an apiarist course at the moment. Not sure if I am brave enough though.

sweet HONESTY seed pods are gorgeous.. another common name for them is silver dollar.. they self seed all over my garden. Love it!

then I have my HONEY - organic of course ! and my HERBAL mix that I take 3 times a day to boost my immune system. It is made up specially for me by my HERBALIST and has quite a few immune boosting herbs in it - astragalus is one that I am sure is in it

and last but not least I have HEARTHSTONES... these were sent to me by Sr.Kathryn Knoll for my 50th birthday. They are wonderful and I love them... small clay hearts with words pressed into them...there is also a book that you can buy that goes along with the hearts and each heart has a small reflection. The first time I pulled a heart - the word was: Wisdom. Ha! meaning to me Sophia - the Goddess... wise. a gentle push in the right direction perhaps?


You can buy these from Sr. K here:
HEARTHSTONES

and Sr.K even has little words of wisdom online here:
Jubliate says..

so that is it for H.... except that I must tell you that ABC Wednesday is the brainchild of Denise from Mrs Nesbitts Place.. .I joined in ABC Wednesday because it is fun and it gives me an idea once a week of what to post about.. but of course, I don't follow the rules.. I am supposed to visit the other members blogs to see their photos....I did the first week that I joined but it got too much for me to visit over 80 blogs..

signing out from Woodford... where the birds are starting to chirp, the sun is starting to shine and I am waiting anxiously for a phone call...

making a difference and being green

all my life.. well most of it, I have struggled with my 'divine life purpose'. Oh I had visions when I was a young girl of being a home economics teacher or a nurse but life took a turn and I became a teenage mother.. married and a mum at 17..... and that is what I have done since. I have been a housewife - home-maker. I have never thought my 'job' was important, I just viewed it as something that happened and something that I did.. simple as that. I have been to Doreen Virtue who waffled on about our divine life purpose... so I always thought it had to be something like that - a healer, a herbalist or something that helped others. Someone important. I have been to a shamanic healer and asked them what my divine life purpose was.. and they told me not to worry about it.. but I did.... until the past few weeks of getting to know Sr. K and having Mary Magdalene in my life..... they have finally helped me realize that what I am doing, right here, right now is my divine life purpose. It is what I am meant to be doing. No more, no less......

words of wisdom from Sr.K:

"Building the temple of the home is connected to building the temple on Earth, is connected with building the Divine temple in all parts of the universe. As you raise the vibration of your little part of the world the sacred geometry of this goes out and orders the Universe.
The thing that I think is the most important focus for us all is how we do to the best of our ability today in this now moment whatever it takes to move the game forward in the most positive light we can. When you got down on your knees and scrubbed the floor with a loving attitude and created a temple right there where you knelt, this is your great work
Do what brings you joy. Be of good cheer making your nourishing soups and tending to the Temple of Gaia"

and my passion in my garden & my strong connection to earth has meaning to... Sr.K has helped me to rethink my love for my garden... has helped me realize that by working in my own little plot of land is helping the bigger picture..... "Think of Gaia, for a moment, who for many years now, has been raped, pillaged, demonized, reviled, irradiated, poisoned, in order to control and conquer her. When you touch and tend to her and work with her "little children" she too, is having assistance with the raising of the frequencies and the healing of her horrors."

her words have inspired me to embrace and work with my passion.. I am green.. I try so hard to use green cleaning products, I have 5 compost bins, I grow as many of my own vegies as I can... I have a water tank and my dream is to oneday have my tanks connected to my home so that I can have a bath in rainwater. I recycle and re-use and I try to buy locally produced organic food as much as i can. Sometimes, it can take me up to 2 or more hours doing my shopping as I read the labels for everything! I am planning on catching a bus to the shops at least once a week instead of driving.. I am trying hard to make my carbon footprint even less....

Because of this passion and Sr.K's wise words to me.... I have created a blog just for GREEN living ~ be green and heal Gaia . On this blog, I will be posting green information, green recipes, gardening tips and any other bits of green information that I may come across in my daily life.... I have alot of notes and papers on all manner of green living that I want to share.. maybe once or twice a week, I will post some tidbit for you to use..

I am in a really good head space right now... I finally feel that the missing jigsaw piece from my soul has been turned and jiggled until it has slipped in to where it is supposed to be. Of course, this is not to say that next week, I will be off on another search for something... but right here and right now... I am complete.

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.....

a Monday scrap-book post

autumn is here... we have the chilliness in the air that heralds the coming of autumn... the damp grass in the morning, the long shadows of an afternoon... and the spider webs with twisted leaves, where the spider lives, strung across the paths, waiting to trap some poor unsuspecting insect.. these all let my inner me, know that autumn is coming..

I wanted to show you a photo of the autumn shadows... this photo was taken early this morning and once again I have captured orbs (I think).. I took so much care, to clean the lense and focus properly but still they are there! This was taken under my ancient pine tree, where sometimes I find faery rings.

yesterday, we went on a bike ride to a tiny little town called O'Connell... through some of the most gorgeous countryside - the sky was a sparkling blue and the temperature was, well, damn chilly.... I do some profound thinking while I am on the bike... I kind of enter a Zen zone... I have been finding that Mary Magadalene has been coming into my life alot lately. Awhile ago, I bought a book called The Secret Teachings of Mary Magdalene by Claire Nahmad & Margaret Bailey. Both Daisy and Colette had told me about it, so I went out and bought it and put it on my shelf and promptly forgot about it.. I picked it up a few days ago. Alot of food for thought in this book... anyhow, back to the Zen zone that I am in on the back of the bike.... my thoughts started to wander to Mary Magdalene and I wondered if she were someone that I could connect to on a daily basis.. and as I thought this, I felt my heart chakra warm up. Like it was filled with pure love. It was an amazing sensation and I knew she was with me, right at that very moment. And it felt right. . And you know, she is with me all the time, I can feel her. ... my thoughts wandered a little more....to my ancestors.. I went back in time in my thoughts and how many people I am related to... then back even further to my past lives, a whole different family tree... and back and back I went, til I realized that I must be related to everyone via my soul. This was a very profound moment for me... maybe many of you realize all of this already but it is a first for me... call me a late bloomer! It is amazing while in this zen zone that I manage to stay on the bike. Or are my thoughts just the insanity of a mind that has been lulled into a sense of hypnosis by the constant whirring of the bike engine...

my allergies are back. damn. I thought i had them all under control with all my herb taking and organic food eating.. but the sneezes and watering eyes are back. damn. So instead of being the martyr, I am going to take the chemicals this time. A few discussions with a friend has helped me come to this decision. That, plus all I keep hearing in my head is Daisy, saying 'take the bloody pills'.... and like my friend said 'take the pills you need to, which will give you some relief. You want balance. It sounds like you make good choices already, so it's very possible the positive impact will out weigh the neg. one.' ~ so if I eat properly and take the chemicals.. I should feel better.. it is a hard thing for me to do though, I must admit.

today, I scrubbed my bathrooms... all the while talking to Mary Magdalene. I feel I am on the homeward journey at the moment. at last. here are a few pics of my bathroom...


sometimes, after cleaning.. ~no, make that every time after cleaning, I am really soul satisfied... I look at the gorgeous rooms, all sparkling.. and think to myself - I did that. I created this little piece of Heaven in my home. For myself and for my loved ones.

I have soup simmering on my stove that smells divine and I worked in the garden for an hour or two this afternoon and I am satisfied. I am totally soul satisfied.

HaPpy BirThDaY dearest Sr.Kathryn ~xo~

today is Sr. Kathryn's birthday.....an amazing woman, an amazing nun.... she invites us all to share her birthday:
" March 1st is my birthday and on my birthday I traditionally give gifts to others rather than receive them. Would you be willing to celebrate with me by doing something to bless your world in a special way that day? Have fun with it. It may be blowing bubbles out over the balcony to those below, or making cookies and sharing with your workmates. Let the "muses of blessing" inspire you, because, I have come to believe our greatest work is always to bless, and bless and bless."
~ you can read the whole post here ~~~> blessings abound

now, go blow bubbles!!
