Mother's Day - late as ever!!

Happy Mother's Day, to Mothers and Grandmothers everywhere!

I'm not sure how many other countries are celebrating Mother's Day today, but I love to share, so I'm extending it to all of you wherever you may be, because mine has been the best ever!  So far, anyway ;)

I've seen my eldest daughter, and spoken to my youngest who's away at uni.  I've seen my scrumptious grandson, and I've found some photographs I didn't even know I had.  Then, about half an hour ago I got the best present I could ever have wished for - and it came from the unlikeliest of sources!!

I've made a lot of friends over the last few months, particularly on Facebook where I've joined a vast array of groups and learned an incredible amount about all manner of belief systems. From Native Americans to Egyptians, from Nature to Astrology, and Hinuism to Judaism - and all sorts in between as well.  All of it has been approached with an open mind; some bits of info have been discarded, others explored in depth, more still have been stored away for future investigation.

A couple of weeks ago, I was talking to one of my new friends, Cyprius Sky.  Her name stuck out to me originally because Cyprus is my favourite place in the world.  I've spent a lot of time there over the years and a big piece of my heart will reside there forever.  We'd made friends a couple of months ago but then hadn't communicated, but we commented on the same status and once I'd explained the connection I tagged her in one of my favourite photos of the Cypriot sky.  

I've only just noticed the purple/violet (Fairy Godmother?) in the front. I can't call it an orb, what would you call that?

In the conversation that ensued, something really beautiful happened... Please bear in mind that neither of us had spoken to the other up until this day...

This is interesting! I copied the wrong image URL, the photo above is the next one in the album.  The one I actually tagged Cyprius in was this one... Curiouser and curiouser!

Was this the Fairy Godmother's arrival??  This is the photo the conversation took place on

One of the projects I've been working on is writing this blog, but I've also started writing three books.  I've always been a bit "flighty" - as in, I start something but then get distracted.  I did read earlier this week that it can be a sign of genius, so it's not all bad!  

According to the original study (which can be found here):

Overall results suggest that leaky sensory gating may help people integrate ideas that are outside of focus of attention, leading to creativity in the real world.

Where was I? Haha!  I know really... so I've started writing three books, and everything I've been doing has been to try and make positive changes in the world.  To get people to at least think about meditation, about Ancient Knowledge, to open some minds to more available possibilities than they currently imagine, and to do it in an entertaining way.  This blog is perfect because I can get some ideas down in writing without the commitment of adding to the mix on a daily basis.  

One of my books has the following dedication:

For my beloved Grandad, who taught me so much about

life, love, humour, and the joy of giving <3

The idea for one of the main characters came directly from my Grandad who told me stories when I was little, so it was only right that he be credited before the story even started.  

The other book will take a lot longer to write... well actually, I thought it would take a lot longer to write, but now I've come up with a much quicker and more interesting way to do it, and it's all thanks to my wonderful Grandad and Cyprius Sky!

Earlier this evening, Cyprius posted a link to a meditation, with the following introduction:

I have decided to put up one Meditation a week. Some are guided, some are binarul beats( not for people with severe epilepsy) the guided meditation help ur visualisations, as well as distracting your mind so it is easier to clear it. Hope you enjoy, please comment your experiences with the family. Blessed be

Grounding Your Energy

This meditation took me on a wonderful journey without me going anywhere, and I'll be writing more very soon about why it's had such a huge impact on me.  I hope you'll learn as much from it as I did!!

Thank you Cyprius Sky - you're an amazing woman and an absolute inspiration!
