"Line up your life. Do your part by starting with you first. Think responsibly, act responsibly, and create responsibly from the heart. Live your light and live your heart and it will be heaven on earth." Starting with yourself first - Ruth has been saying this to me since she arrived, I have been ill since last I wrote - no, no sympathy folks, is all m' own fault - if we don't look after the body it gives in and the immune system folds and whatever virus is floating around finds an easy home, so I am multi vits and a tonic, plus eating regularly/properly!! With lots of rest, my energy levels have never been so low, well not in 20 years. .......mmmmmmmm Crikey how long ago did I write the above mmmmmm and yes I think I must have had a virus as after the events close friends said they were worried about me as I looked really quite grey loverly LOL, it all coincided with the end of my "1st year" yeah it did come as a jolt and you know I don't think the first years is the worst no it's when that first one ends and then it really rocks home what has happened and how life has changed and how much I miss my best buddy, no matter how many lovely friends I have and I appreciate and adore each and every one of 'em and their different views etc, none can know me as well as D did, there is no-one I can talk to as I did with him and the future stretches out..........along with not being well I went down emotionally to a low place not a place I want to share on line apart from the fact it could upset some who pass through here - but I am back and although the hole is still there I am learning to live with it. Ruth having stayed with me for 6 weeks has now moved into an apartment just round the corner - her sister and new hubby arrive on the 24th till the 4th so we will all be together for the new year - yep I shall go out this year how can I not - the universe has ensured that it will be so :) Have I mentioned Remi her sister Carmen and Africa to you ah well you will catch up - I now do inter cambio with Africa every week and my Spanish is improving poco poco and they are always popping in and out as does Ruth so life is no lonely - we had afoto shoot the other day as I got them to model some of my crochet so let me introduce them to you - Africa ![]() Carmen ![]() Remi Africa and Carmen ![]() A new shop on the high street has opened run by an artist who s ells her artwork along with flowers and strangely enough pet products - anyway she is only too happy to take my stuff, so at last a permanent space within the village - she has masses of space when it gets cleared and she is gonna be doing exhibitions and says I could have an exhibition of my stuff....mmmmmm ......she also wants to create a space for people who want to come and chat with a cultural edge to it........ little birdies have been telling me a lot of "lighted" people are turning up here of late as well, bring 'em in :) Squidge is now all chipped and jagged, now just the long wait till her blood results come back from Madrid which takes about 3 months........ Funny how one tabletop sale can be so different from another last month I did really well this month despite being the Xmas fair I sold nadir - hey ho well I have been invaded by the ladies so much concentration needed to follow and join in conversations Blessings Be xx ![]() Powered by ScribeFire. |

Looking in out on and up.......
There is a need for concentration on whatever part of our individual, mental, or spiritual education needs finishing as we stand on the threshold of moving into Saturn in Libra and all the radically different lessons that will bring. It will certainly restructure whatever area it falls in our charts, with methods moving from known Virgo routines into potential Libra routines.October has been a dress rehearsal for lessons to come between April and July 2010, the last time Saturn will be in Virgo until 2036. That will complete our Virgo lessons and restructuring.Saturn crystalizes all it touches. It gives structure, boundaries, limitations, and clarity about things through its patient, steady rhythm of unfoldment. The life principle symbolized by Saturn is said to be "exalted" in Libra. That means that Saturn finds its "grounds for greatest growth" in the sign of Libra. If nothing else, it shows the need for responsibility in all of life's contracts. These include the "contracts" we make with our Higher Self as well as worldly involvements.[aquarius papers] So if Libra falls in the sun what does that mean in real terms?? Ansas on a postcard please..... Well I gotta like this bit :) Libra's reasonableness and moderation are healthy antidotes for the stubborn selfish extremism that seems so prevalent today. but I never said I was free of ALL the traps lol Libra, when freed of the traps of superficiality, vanity, extravagance, timidity, indecisiveness, vacillation, impatience, and getting too theoretical, demonstrate a harmonious, cooperative, agreeable impartial consideration for others that brings a greater sense of belonging to everyone involved. Despite all that is going on around me I have been able to get some crochet done, a few basics bags n slippers, started on a shawl and then got the urge to start another jacket, Kurt, Ruth's brother is going to take some good pics for me and they are on about putting it together in some kind of catalogue, so much enthusiasm and many ideas flowing...we shall see what actually becomes reality........ I am aware of this totally new energy now in my home, don't get me wrong it aint bad - just very different - something that I need to adapt to and recognise what there is to learn from it, why it is here and now.....fodder for thought We contacted Julia [Ruth's daughter if you can't keep up or track, not surprising, am amazed I am managing to thus far] earlier to see if she and Selina, her daughter, would come out for a week.....she is thinking about it...... Thinking some more about the J boy, I cannot "blame" him, I was bordering on obsessive when it came to what one got the other did equally, or at least I believe I tried, maybe J & L see it from a different perspective, so all J is endeavouring to do now is "keep the balance" Ruth & I spent some time this morning talking about how we perceived our kids childhoods and how they see it as they look back, 2 differing realities - so if the differences can be so great between 2 people who have shared a life for many years and to all intent and purposes have shared many of the same experiences - is it not so difficult to understand why people of differing cultures [not shared collective experiences] cannot comprehend each other... ooooo I have just been handed some fabby German choccy marzipanny jammy thing mmmmmmm, it has been a long day for the German contingency having taken an early flight to Alicante and then go to collect a hire car to drive on down here, so they are all crashing early....zzzzzzz......when the Killers are finished I shall shut down and head for zeds to........... Wednesday morning and have just gotten back from my sunrise walk with Squidge, all is peaceful in the casa as everyone sleeps and I am feeling so much better that I shall go up to the gym this morning and then see what the day has to bring/offer........ The question of whether we or anyone else deserves something is not really in our jurisdiction. These themes play themselves out in ways we can’t fully comprehend—on the level of the soul, over the course of many lifetimes. What we do know is that the universe has its own way of shifting the balance over the course of time so that all things are ultimately fair. We can trust in this process and understand that when a gift comes our way, it is because we are meant to have it. Otherwise, it would not be available to us. Accepting the gift with gratitude and using it to the best of our ability is true humility. If you would like to begin to make the shift into half-full consciousness, try imagining your life as an empty glass. This is your life without all the people you know, the work you do, your home, or your current state of physical wellbeing. This is just an empty, open space waiting to be filled. Once you have that feeling of openness in your mind, begin filling it with all the people, things, and places that make up your life. You may be surprised to find your glass overflowing. ![]() Powered by ScribeFire. |

Avalon Moment
Up and out before the sun rose this morning, the mist lying low in the valleys and hiding Alhaurin, Grande y Torre, Cartama and the other habitats dotted between here and the coast, deep red streaks the far horizon with tiny lights twinkling giving away the presence of Malaga, the sun rises blood red from the sea and mountains. After the rains of a couple of weeks ago followed by a true Indian summer, temps back to mid/high 20's, flowers of yellow white and orange bloom brightly amongst the spreading green blanket which covers the mountainsides through winter. |
