I seem to have been in suspended animation...in a world between the worlds, where in one world, life and crap went on and then sorted itself out in my absence, and in the other I was light and lifted and in joy and happiness having a most brilliant time.
My weekend away was super.
I learnt a great deal.
I had huge life lessons, actually.
A terrific experience on the ghost tour in Sydney ( although no ghosts )
and then James Van Praagh, who is just so gay and a real character - his meditation was one of those special moments and of course another attack of the shakes that lasted about 45 minutes and left me exhausted.
What is with that?
The Mardi Gras Parade happened to be forming right in front of our hotel and we had a front seat view of many of the floats and the magnificant costumes ( or lack of ).
I will share some of the best photos with you all in the next day or two.
The energy created by all of this fun was very uplifting and returning to Newcastle meant finding out that things had not been settled and more emotions had been made raw yet again.
Maybe my exhaustion added to it all but I found it hard to cope tonight and as much as I enjoyed the great effort put in by Shann and Helen in the ritual, I needed to make myself scarce.
I send my blessings to all .....find peace and find it quickly.

Please stop with the scratching!!
Poor little puggy boy is scratching so bad that he has sores all over his skin from the horrible flea infestation.
I have tried all the powders, shampoos and tablets available - today I go to get the super dooper new one...at a cost of $80.
But if it works it will be worth it.....
What does it possibly do to a doggy when, once the tablet is taken, all fleas on the dog are supposed to die within half an hour?
Surely it must not be good for the doggie?

She has left the room.....for the weekend anyway!
I am off ( well you knew that ) but I mean I am off for the weekend to Sydney with my dear friend to do some really cool stuff!
Firstly a ghost tour of the "Rocks" tomorrow night.
Saturday we are doing girlie stuff like shopping and eating really fattening food and then maybe the Art Gallery and Adyar Bookshop.
Then more food and coffee and then we are seeing James Van Praagh, the American Medium who works on the show "Ghost Whisperer"....
We will also be trying to avoid the thousands of people who are in the city for the Gay Mardi Gras......wish us luck.
I will come back to some hard work scrubbing some walls and cupboards and making things nice and shiny...knowing Sharon she will make me use hot water, sweat and elbow grease.....but I rather use something with plenty of toxic bleach and stuff that can take paint off with one wipe......cause I'm just lazy.... he...he..
I also have a full moon to attend with my beautiful Autumns on Sunday and hugs going to the Priestess for the night cause I know she has been a sick girl ( and she also looked after my injured birdie from two weeks ago for which I am very grateful.
Also a cheerio to Gayle who I know is just about to leave to us for a while to continue with her chosen career.I have no doubt that she will enjoy her time away and that she will learn so much. A very, very, dedicated midwife indeed. Best wishes and big, sweaty, smelly hugs..........to you!

May love surround you, wherever you go......
Did you wake up singing?
It happened last week after the workshop and it happenend again last night.
I woke up and the songs were still in my ears.
It was a very special evening. No one held back...nice.
I would sneak peeks at people's faces...and there was a smile on every one!
I cannot thank Esme enough for the two beautiful nights that we have shared. I hope that you all say a small prayer of thanks and wish her well as she returns back home over the next day or two.
We did thank her and gave her a card and a donation from us all for having given so much of her time.
I think its so cool that this woman had travelled across the globe, but, she took her harp and her head dress and bought a beautiful ritual gown to wear for ritual.......she was prepared........but I must say, I just loved the THONGS!!!!! So Australian!!!
I personally, have learnt so much from this small exercise and I hope that we can get in contact with more people who can come and do some more ritual workshops so that we can experience other interpretations. Doing things differently......cant be bad can it?
Thank you all for coming last night...

I have the keys to the castle!!!!
How nice would it be to live with a view of the Lake from your dining room, eh?
Well today I visited someone who lives with such a view.
Standing in their living room you look straight across their back balcony and there is the Lake, with boats and all - picture perfect.Out the back are a few steps and you go straight down to the water...How cool is that!!!!!
I stood there and dreamed and told this person that I was "very impressed"...
Tonight we have Aunty Esme "part two" so it will be lots of fun....

No rest for the wykd!
Just when I thought that it was going to be fine to sit on my arse and not do anything, along comes a doctor who has the audacity to tell me that my cholesterol is up, my iron is down, my liver is not working properly and my blood sugar is up too!
How rude!
Now I have to go on a diet and EXERCISE!
Please save me............so I went on the Wii Fit yesterday ( first time in 360 days ) and could only manage 10 minutes , but I had only put on 1kg in those 360 days ...so that must mean that I was a lazy so and so 12 months ago too!!!!
Now I need to get a grip - and dont even show me a carton of skim milk, I bought some of that yesterday, made one coffee with it and have decided that there is only so much suffereing a person can take....
must ask Sharon for some advice...
