finding-my-bliss

On this the last day of 2013 I got up early to meditate, I have been following Andrew Harvey's recommendations for centering prayer meditation which involves going inward and focusing on some chosen aspect such as love, peace, faith etc. Over the past few years I have deepened my resolve to meditate as a means of relaxation which has helped me enormously to get through some difficult times. Pain seems to have been a dominating factor in my life for much of the last few years, either physical or mental pain.  This time last year I was in such a deep dark place feeling like I was at death's door physically, and thinking about it now sends a shudder down my spine. Prior to this the personal mental anguish of caring for my daughter through her own mental breakdown was excruciatingly painful... Continuing on this year has brought sad news of people I know who are going through their own painful trials, having faced Christmas with loved ones knowing th...

This more than any other time of the year is the time to shine, like the proverbial 'morning star' and send out sparkles... I have been seeing sparkles everywhere and want to send them out... Why do I want to sparkle and transmit my sparkles to you? Because I want to catch your attention, and why do I want to catch your attention? Is it my ego wanting to be stroked, or something like that....? Nothing wrong with being stroked,  we all seek love and wish to be caressed from time to time, we all thrive on a bit of attention, my two fur-ball boys will testify to this... However it runs much deeper than this, it's because we as sisters need to send loving sparkles out to each other on a regular basis, we need to sparkle and seek sparkles to nourish each other like loving she deer, knowing pack love cares for and looks out for one- another. An interesting fact is that Does live in the same home or territory for generation after g...

How can you love someone you have never met physically? I found myself wondering this evening... I continued to ponder physicality, what is this? I have read and I'm sure it is true that the very stuff stars are made of can be found in our human cells... Tonight I look out with my love on our winter skies we spot the planet Venus, The Evening Star, I am in awe of this planet's beauty ~  Venus Every year she appears at this time, shining brilliantly and I feel very emotional because it brings me close to the Creator of all beauty and all things... Again speaking of beauty and closeness, I have never met this one person but I feel very close to her because she is made of the same stuff as you and me and the stars and she shines just as brightly shedding her light and love on all who come into contact with her... Although being miles away the distance is nothing but the beauty of her soul is everything - we connect, like the stars, we are star sisters, sharing the same...

On the shortest day, I'm sending the longest love, to Haiku-ing Hearts Oh ! and a very Happy New Year.... Late for the post but sending anyway to ;~) Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon Also to all my other lovely bloggy friends.....x

Journeys, ending too soon, memories fading, already, like clouds drifting across the moon... Tell me please, will you? Where did time go? Has it vaporized? Or is it in store somewhere else ready to rise and flow?

Before I head for sea, surf and sand I need to post a SOOC SOOC Straight out of the Camera! Old camera at that!!

I have to cut my Mary Meditations short, us two are flying off to the coast where cyber-space is prohibited!! Be back soon....

Wish on a haiku float through a window of love greet hearts in mid air... My window reflecting in the Christmas bauble. Yesterday was a day of creative flow, I captured the mood and reflections... The news of Mandela's death became all the more poignant after losing our dear Joe, both great men in their own right, sharing a loving and giving spirit, so I honour this week by using my window of time to share the same message. Peace Sharing with: Recuerda mi Corazon

Mindful of Mary, move gently among mortals, make manifest love... My mind has been heavenward these last few days, today I have been playing with a Christmas bauble of the Virgin, I held her to the light to photograph, I noticed the sun shining through the silver backing... and as if by magic there she appeared the Virgin and Child peering at me from the stars! Sharing with: A Virgin a Day Recuerda mi Corazon

I could not put my mind to posting yesterday hearing the news about Joe, I did spend a lot of time thinking about him and our connection and I describe this in one word 'affectionate' he always called me 'Ms Foxy', how I will miss this, and of course everyone else who knew Joe's affection will miss this too... The other thing about Joe that floods my mind is his capacity for the spiritual which is an even deeper connection to me. I think about the wind, his pilgrimages to the desert on his beloved motorcycle.  His great love for Mother Earth which he spoke of in connection to Mary as being a constant motherly provider, and his closeness to all of nature.  I have been scrolling Joe's blog posts to find one that's close to my heart, that describes his desert experience, his connection to the Great Spirit but it is like trying to find a needle in a haystack so many travelling posts, so what's the message here? It seems to me that Joe never let l...
