Unless
you have been close to death, some of my ramblings this week will mean diddly
squat, or have little meaning and as if I am speaking in another language!
I found my sixth sense and instincts
became heightened, and I have been using them for years, and have come to rely
and trust explicitly. It is hard to turn them off. I have learnt not to
question my instincts or senses. Many a time I didn’t
want to follow my gut instinct, but I have finally learnt not to question. Go
figure…..how are your instincts are they heightened and switched on? I wonder
how many others also have a heightened awareness. Are they like me?
Anyway onto other matters for the week…….
What I have growing in my garden and
what I have been eating, and my pastime activities?
My winter garden is providing me with
fresh kale leaves and lovely fresh dill which is picked and I add to my banana
smoothies for breakfast each morning.
Tramping out in the cold dewy grass in the crisp air, is not my
favourite past time nor is getting up early in the winter mornings. I have
spent enough early winter mornings getting up at 4 am or earlier to study or
work, and no longer feel the slightest bit of guilt about what time I get out
on a winter morning anymore. I have given myself permission to do what is right
for my health, and so I can hang around and write to inspire others needing a
little encouragement or a helping hand.
Cleaning out the garden of the dead
leaves and plants which have died back in winter was grounding and brought me
closer to nature. I enjoyed listening to the sounds of the birds as they warble
and twitter to each other during the day.
Picking the large pumpkins which grow in
the backyard, to make the usual pumpkin and ginger soup for lunches and evening
meals is another delight, and pleasure for the cold days over winter.
Tomorrow I look forward to picking
oranges, lemons and passion fruit with a friend, and sharing the fruit crop on
our trees. Our garden is bountiful and even though I don’t
eat the oranges or passion fruit, I can share more with others.
I had a blitz on cryptic crosswords
puzzles this week whilst snuggled up and cosy. I always enjoy finding a new
perspective or way at looking at the clues to unearth the answers, and the ones
I am really stuck on ….well I do peek at the answers when really
bamboozled, but that OK isn’t it?
I trust you have all had a good week?
Did you find inspiration? Did you discover something new about
yourself you didn’t know? Did you discover something new in the world you
didn’t know before?
My greatest gift received last week was a message from someone thanking me for my book and for giving them hope. I feel
as though I am walking beside them on their challenge, and if my book is
holding their hand, offering hope and encouragement. I have found my
inspiration, happiness and peace.
I think this week, I will search for
something different in music…maybe visit some singing groups I haven’t
heard of for a while, or something totally new will cross my path. What do you
have on your list to enjoy and discover this week?
Stay Strong!
