ONE MOMENT IN TIME

This morning as I was leaving for work I stood outside my door mesmerized at the stillness with only the sound of the birds. There were no cars driving down the road and no other distractions, just the sound of the birds. It was if I was caught in a moment of time. When I got to work someone posted about taking a moment to listen to the sound of birds in the car park. I thought it was great to hear someone like minded. Many people get caught up in rushing around that they don't savor the little magical things in life.


I then spoke to a lovely lady who was 87 and had spent her time nursing parents and latterly her husband who had Dementia. In April  this year he took sick and was diagnosed with terminal cancer in August. To hear this strong lady still managing to keep her sense of humour while she has carers coming in 4 times a day confirmed to me that it's all about how your mind works. Her story today was telling me how organised she has to be, so she sets out her clothes the night before. Today she got dressed and put her tights and dress on. She turned  round and realised her underpants were still sitting on the chest of drawers. This had us both having a giggle as we chatted. It really is true that if you look for a good point in your day it helps you get through the stressful times. I take my hat off to both her plus all the carers out there.

Make sure you find something to uplift you each day. Why not go to a peaceful place and listen to the sounds of nature. Just take a moment or two to stand and listen rather than having your mind working all the time. Two of my favourite places to go are my local park and standing beside the sea. I am lucky to have both easily reachable from my home. Also if you know anybody in the above situation, sometimes like today they just need someone to talk to, or to give them a break, so why not call on them to see how you can help.

REFLECTIONS OF 2016

Have you ever wondered how you got to where you are today? I was looking through the photos on my phone and came across one of me taken last year. The interesting thing is it is a mirror likeness of my Mum and made me think of her.

My mum was often ill whilst I was growing up but was the most compassionate person I knew. She always looked out for others and helped them whenever she could. If it was not for her I would not be the person I am today. Through her I have two wonderful children and three Grandchildren. I'm sure she is still watching over us all. If your parents are still with you please make your time count. If they have passed on then count your blessings for the memories you have.

 This year I had to make a promise to myself to cut back on my charity donations after I was told by 2 Mediums that I had been giving away too much and needed to look after myself. This has been very hard so I only donated to one Charity this year. It's amazing though how many times in a month I had to say "no" to people. It was a big wake up call for me to be more aware of what I support in 2017.  It would be too easy to get compassion fatigue.

Wishing you all lots of love and happiness in 2017 and may we all spread love and light to help bring peace over all the world.

Share the intention for PEACE and RESOLUTION for the WATER PROTECTORS

Today I am appealing for readers to send peaceful thoughts to Dakota. Considering I do not watch the news (which would probably be falsified anyway), I am continually being made aware of the problems at Standing Rock by people on site.  Healthy water gives life and burial places should remain sacred.  The interesting thing is the work was moved away from another place due to fears in case it contaminated the area. Why then does it make sense to move to another place where people also live? The company that want to run this pipeline through the area recently had a leak of their pipes in another area and contaminated the water there.

Today I read  this. This brought to mind the thousands of Bison who came down to be with the water protectors this week. They are believed to be very spiritual animals. I know that a lot of people in America read my blog.If you are anyone that can take peaceful action by contacting Government, please do so. I would appreciate everyone sharing the following links and getting as many people as possible to send peaceful thoughts any time tomorrow with the rest of us.  The more these links are shared all over the world we may be able to change things if it is known we are all watching!

Video from Lyla June- This is certainly worth reading.

International vigil for Standing Rock tomorrow ( Sunday)

 It is so distressful to see the way the Water Protectors who are protesting peacefully are being treated.
